Everything was in choas. The padawans tried their best to defend themselves, yet they failed. The screams of children filled the air. Few padawans were spared, and those that were spared were sent off to destroy what was left of the temple and slaughter the one or two padawans that had wisely hidden rather than coming out of the huts at the sight of the dark ship.
The smell of smoke filled Odette's senses, having her awake and up in a few moments. She wasn't quite sure where she was at first. It was dark and dirty. Soon she realized she seemed to be in a hole in the ground, covered by vines and other follage. Quickly she was scrambling out of the hole, and what she saw made her heart fall.
Everything...everything was destroyed. Burning and crumbled to the ground. She took a few steps, crying out in sorrow when she saw the bodies of all the padawans. All the children, slaughtered in cold blood. Her hand covered her mouth as she tried to hold in any more fearful sounds. She needed to get out of here. To go away before Ben could find her and do the same to her. Had it been anyone else than one of their own, she would not have hesitated to strike them down. But there was no way she could face one of the others, especially Ben.
She moved to her hut, which somehow still remained standing. Quickly moving inside, she went to gather her lightsaber, only to find it gone. That was when she noticed a bag sitting upon her bed. Walking over, she found it was different items Ben had packed to take with him, wherever he was going. Books, different letters that she and Ben used to write to each other in secret when their relationship was fresh, and her saber.
She took only her saber, though paused. Ben was going to come back for this bag. Her eyes moved to her desk and moved there quickly, taking a piece of parchment and writing.
Ben,
There are things that are happening within you that no one can possibly understand, not even myself. My biggest regret is that I wasn't able to help you, to ease the pain you were feeling. I'm sorry I failed you. Though I can not agree with nor follow the choices you are making, please know that I do truly care for you and wish you happiness. There is still Light in you, and I hope one day you find it again.
You are my dream and my universe. I love you. Forever.
Your starlight,
Odette.Swallowing hard, she held back tears as she folded the parchment, and then taking the
necklace from around her neck, one Ben had given her long ago as a symbol of their connection in both heart and the Force, she wrapped the chain around the letter and gingerly tucked it into the bag for Ben to find.
With that, and with only her saber in hand, she headed out of the hut and was once again hesitated by the scene about her. The fires and the bodies, all horrible choas. She had walked away from her hut and stood there in sorrowful silence still, when a voice spoke up behind her.
"Odette?"Turning, she saw two of the padawans, young lads about 15 years of age, standing behind her. Relief flooded throught her to see that not all of the padawans had been killed and she quickly embraced them closely,
"Seris and Kimber. Thank the Force." She pulled back, looking to them,
"Come, we must get off the planet now." Before Ben came back and found these two alive. With that, she was quickly heading toward the ship that she and Ben always took on missions, the two padawans in tow. Once there, she was quick to have the ramp let down and went to board the ship, pausing when she heard no feet following her up the ramp.
Turning, she looked to the two, the lads pulling out their sabers, the blades igniting green and yellow. She was stunned, finally understanding. These two hadn't escaped Ben's grasp, they had been recruited. She shook her head,
"Don't do this. Master Luke took you both in when you had no one. If you kill me, you betray all of his teachings and everything he has done for both of you.""Sorry, Odette." One said with a frown on his face,[color=fff200][b]"We really do like you and we thank you for always being so kind. But Master Ben has promised to let us live if we did as he says."[/color][/b]
"And he said to kill everyone."With that, the two lept at her, Odette jumping from the ramp to the ground, the three beginning a deathly battle. The only thing was, Odette couldn't bring herself to strike down the padawans she had helped bring up and train. They were like little brothers to her and though she certainlly could do so very easily, she just couldn't bring herself to end their lives, even if that was what they were attempting to do to her.
The only thing she could think to do was get away. Get on the ship and fly off. She moved again toward the ramp, though as she was halfway up, one of the padawans reached out in the Force, snatching the metal from the screws, causing her to let out a scream of surprise as the metal was jerked from under her.
She gained her bearings, though not fast enough. As she got to her knees, a flash of light from a saber danced across her back in searing pain, her body falling to the ground motionless. The two stood there, discussing what to do with the body, when one of the Knights of Ren approached, speaking. Apparently Snoke wanted the body of this girl, for whatever reason. And so, the boys let the Knight take Odette away and the two waited for the return of their new master.
When Ben finally found them, both stood proudly, clearly wishing to please their new master,[color=39b54a][b] "We finished it Master. All the others are dead. And come look."[/color][/b] Boarding the ship, the boys pulled up the security footage, showing the footage of Odette's final moments, both seeming very proud to show their Master that they had been strong enough to take out the female Jedi Knight,
"It wasn't easy, but we did it. We killed her for you."
