Welcome to my world...a world of Darkness!(Sky)

[Jack Sheetai]

Jack awoke quite early that morning as he watched Sky sleeping. Her steady breathing made him smile knowing that she was his. Ever the jealous type if anyone so much as looked at her funny they'd either end up dead or wish they would be. The clown Sith Knight then stroked her hair resting his hand on the side of his head turning his body to look at her. Craning his elbow to rest on the bed they shared he then chuckled slightly.

With a smirk he then rolled off the bed picking up his lightsaber. Looking at it for a moment he then shrugged as he set it onto the table. No need for it today! Today he would begin Sky's training in the ways of the Sith. Her Force training would begin shortly. It didn't matter if she was awake or not at this point. Frell, he could watch her sleeping all day long. So, putting on his pants and a loose fitting dark red shirt the clown Sith then stretched his muscles going through his usual routine. Cracking his neck he then opened the door quietly as he made his way down the winding staircase towards the outside.

Once he hit the fresh air of the morning the Sith Knight then used the Force, calling the dark power to him as he pushed it to his legs and feet. Running full on he then made it to the Training Grounds in a mere few moments. Opening the gates, Jack then sat down in the middle in a open space crossing his legs and began to meditate.

He then connected his mind to hers and said through the Force, Awaken, my love. Time to begin. Find me in the Training Grounds.

[Sky Harrison]

Jack's voice entered her dreams and awoke her slowly. The Training Grounds. Cinnamon eyes blinked open and noticed she was alone in his bed. Rolling out of bed, Sky felt like a new woman. She'd never smiled this much in her life and no one made her feel as good about herself as Jack did.

Taking the quickest shower possible, Sky threw on a black, sleeveless leather tunic and matching pants along with flat-soled boots and open finger sparring gloves for just in case it got physical. She jogged down the hall and stairs and pushed open the metallic door leading out into the crisp air of Munto Codru. So refreshing and blissful. She never got the tour of the place after joined but she had a feeling that if she were a training area, she would be separate from the rest of the complex. Running a full circle around the Sith Temple, Sky finally saw a large domed area down the hill and just on the edge of the jungle.

Pulling open the heavy door, Sky slipped in and noticed Jack sitting cross legged on the floor. "Forgive me, master. I have not gotten down the ability to track you through the Force bond yet, but I will achieve it by the end of the day today." Sky rounded him and knelt down on both knees in front of him, looking down in her own shame. Her professionalism was going to show that she was to be his apprentice outside of the bedroom and his lover when the time needed.

[Jack Sheetai]

Jack then heard her enter and then speak to which he then nodded, "I'll let this one slide. In time you'll learn how to."

When she knelt down in her own shame, he then took his right hand lifting her head up. Looking into her eyes he then smiled. Today she'd enter his world, and, the world of the Sith. For now they would begin by her learning Force Sense. It would give her the connection to the Dark Side she had never completely felt yet. Patience and baby steps were all she would need. Although his patience tended to waver at times.

"Don't look so sad." Jack said with red eyes gleaming, "It will all come eventually. We'll begin with channeling the Dark Side. Tell me your worst fears, and, your most painful memory. Those will help channel the inner darkness which will then lead to fully embracing the Dark Side."

[Sky Harrison]

With any normal stranger, Sky would never release her fears and painful memories to, but she trusted Jack and she trusted that he would never use them against her. "Well...my biggest fear is dying alone. Dying without anyone left in the galaxy to care for me when I'm gone. Before I met you I didn't even feel like a blip in the galaxy. I didn't even feel like I mattered. With no family or even anyone to worry about me, I felt as though my life was pointless and with no purpose. I've contemplated killing myself many times just to end my turmoil but something kept me going and if I lose you, Jack..." She smiled through the pain and shrugged. "...I'm not sure what I'd do."

As for a change of topic, the new topic wasn't very different. Both of them were still depressing and dark. "And as for my painful memory. I could choose my first kill or the night I lost my brother, but those would be too easy and they are too often revisited." Sky paused before looking into Jack's eyes and actually past him to space out. "No...I'll go back further to the heart of all my problems. When my parents left me and they took my sister from me." She scoffed and shook her head briefly, still looking blankly at Jack with an emotionless face. "I never told you I had a sister, did I? Yeah well, I prefer to keep it that way. Rita was always their happiness. She was the golden child. You hit Rita, you looked at Rita, you even breathed on Rita and you were beaten and sent to the corner for a time out...a timeout that felt like an eternity. Sometimes hours on end without food or water."

Sky clenched her right fist in pure hatred. "I wanted to love Rita and I wanted to love my parents but ever since she was born, she'd been nothing but a thorn in my side. The better sibling of us three. We were ten years old when we were given up for adoption. Yeah. My mother and father sold my brother and I for a quick spice fix and one day when my brother and I were walking the streets, we revisited our old house and found new residents. The owners said that the previous owners claimed they had business off world on Coruscant and that they couldn't stay. They said they had the cutest little girl and wanted her to have the best education and then when they asked who we were, I protected my family by saying my brother and I were just friends of the little girl. You have no idea how hard it was to say that."

The blankness in her stare came into focus as she looked at Jack now and giving him full attention. "I don't know who my true enemy is. Rita? Or my parents? Either way when I find them, I will make them pay."

[Jack Sheetai]

Jack then nodded to her, "I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you, Sky. I'd probably lose it and murder whoever took you away."

The clown. Sith Knight then noticed that a blank stare came across her face to which he knew that she could feel something then . It made the clown grin as he willed the darkness to him, knowing that Sky could feel him use the Dark Side. Breathing in the clown wondered if she would be able to chanmel it on the first try.

So, Jack then nodded, "Do you feel something trying to embrace you,Sky? That my apprentice is the Dark Side. Don't fear the dark! Embrace it!"

[Sky Harrison]

"Oh I never fear the darkness. I was born from it. From day one I was destined to be one of the few who wasn't a cherished child. The darkness chose me in my mother's womb." Something alerted her that something was different with Jack. This was the same feeling she had before when they were intertwined with their bodies making raw passion just a few hours ago. He was using the dark side and it felt seducing to her.

Sky closed her eyes and though nothing was visually there around her, she could feel a presence around her, casing her, scoping her to see if she is worthy for its attention. She called on this very essence before back on Nar Shaddaa when she killed Richard Humar, her old leader of her unit. It was on that day that she made a pact with the dark side and on this day she would again but she would seal the deal permanently. Everything about it felt right and it empowered her to do things no normal being could ever accomplish. If she opened herself to its dark and twisted energies, it would empower her, but its corruption would shape her entire personality and corrupt her mind forever. A small price to pay for a greater reward. Sky wanted power and she wanted it to crush her enemies now.

The disciple inhaled deeply and could feel the thick air swirling around to in front of her face, into her nostrils, and then entering her body, swallowing whatever innocence was still left inside her for good. Sky opened her eyes and smiled evilly at Jack with the slightest tinge of orange around the iris of her eyes. She was now one with the dark side of the Force for good.

[Jack Sheetai]

"Now you feel the raw power of the Dark Side, Sky. How does it feel? Invigorating isn't?" Jack said grinning back at Sky with the same evil grin.

So the clown would move on. The Sith Knight closed his eyes letting his aura wash over her. It radiated like corruption and chaos. Jack loved how the power made him feel. He hoped Sky felt the same about it as he did.

[Sky Harrison]

"Invigorating might just be one of the many words I'd use to describe how I'm feeling right now." Sky looked down at her hands and clenched them open and closed slowly. She could feel the air brushing past her fingers as they moved. The environment never felt so real. So alive to her before. Every inch of her body felt like hairs were standing up and the slightest dust particle touching her, she would be able to feel it. "This room is so vibrant. I can vaguely hear the echoes of screams of torment from others who have been here. This place has seen much pain and suffering."

Her gloved right hand quickly found the ground and she sweeped the dirt away left and right gently. Even the sound of the ground from her hand resonated through her arm all the way up to her ears in high definition. "I don't ever want this to end, Jack. I've never been more in touch with everything."

A heavy rush of energy flowed around her and made her skin crawl. It was familiar. Jack's essence again. Sky lifted her hands up and held herself, throwing her head back and giggling. His aura felt just as good to her as it did before she passed out several hours before from too much of his love. "You have got to teach me how to do that." She brought her head back up and looked back at Jack with her alluring eyes and immoral smile.

[Jack Sheetai]

"I thought you'd never ask." Jack said laughing like the lunatic that he was, "Now, close your eyes. Then, tell me what you see. At times our eyes can deceive. The Force will allow you to see without them. You'll see things you've never imagined. Because the Dark Side and the Force itself is in everything. It is either Light, Dark, or neither."

He could tell she was invigorated by it. The clown Sith Knight was the same when he first learned to channel the Force. Zeta was a hard teacher to learn from, but, he did learn nonetheless. Hearing her say that she never wanted it to end made him smirk. Now he wondered what she would be able to 'see' with the Dark Side. Then again Jack knew she'd see him in all his dark glory. But, she would also need to see everything else around her. Reach out with the Dark Side as far as it would allow her.

"Stretch your feelings, Sky. Only then will you see what's there. It allows you to sense what is around you without using your eyes. In time you'll know how to do it without closing them. Just humor me for now." Jack said with a chuckle, "Then we'll move on from there. The rest will not be as simple as this is."

[Sky Harrison]

Sky did as instructed and closed her eyes. She saw nothing but darkness at first but she forced herself to see by thinking as hard as she could and concentrating. A thin line blasted out from around her in a circle like sonar and painted a picture before disappearing in the far distance. The support beams in the building were a silver color and the torches themselves extended from them were grey with their flickering flames a brighter shade and moving. Jack however was a different kind of color. He was crimson color and his entire body was an outline of the same color but she could see all of his nerves and veins like little strings connecting to endpoints, coursing every time his heart beat. His heart itself was a in its normal shape and it pulsed from dark red to a brighter shade with each heart beat, filling the veins with color each time.

"Darkness. All I can sense from you in front of me is darkness. Everything else in the room is untouched by light or dark." An extremely slow burning flame ignited from the base of where Jack sat. It's color was black with an emerald highlight to it. Corruption. It had to be. The flames seemed as though they were normal and meant him no harm to Jack which only meant that he was the source of its ethereal presence. "Oh yeah. I can definitely sense that you are one with the darkness. Your essence is so dark that it seems as though any light you ever had within you, died long ago. You are no good person, Jack. Not anymore. And that...that is why I chose you to share my heart with."

[Jack Sheetai]

Jack could then feel her use the Force. It seemed their bond indeed went both ways. So when Sky spoke of sensing only darkness from him he was pleased that she could distinct them. Knowing that he could stretch his senses far beyond what she could he then reached out with the Force connecting to her mind. Only then would she hear what he said through the Force. Still he had to grin when she spoke also of him not being a good person and that's why she chose to share her heart with him. That was why he chose her as well. He knew that she was almost like him. Almost. She wasn't a psychotic freak like he was. But, close enough.

If I connect with your mind, you'll know it's me. Sometimes you'll be able to use your abilities one level above if I'm in close contact with you. This ability is speaking through the Force itself. Jack said into Sky's mind like he did hunting Richard.

"You feel that? My thoughts in your head?" Jack said with a smirk, "That is Force telepathy. Reach out with the Dark Side and connect with my mind and project what you want to say through it. It will only be heard by that person. Such as me. But, you'll have your own dark aura in no time, Sky."

[Sky Harrison]

Sky had heard Jack's voice in her mind before but she never knew he would eventually teach her how to do the same. She continued to keep her eyes closed as he spoke both in the real and telepathically. Focusing her attention forward, she concentrated hard on the figure in front of her and forced the energy within her to cooperate. She felt light pressure at the front of skull and the sound around her deafened out so that must of meant that a connection was made to the host.

Jack? Can you hear me? Her own soft voice could be heard in her head and echoed a bit as if she were in an enclosed area. I really hope you can hear me and I'm not just talking to myself. She hoped he would answer back with his own voice. Either way, she felt like she hadn't even touched the base of her power. This tactic in itself would work wonders against an opponent who knew nothing of The Force. A scare tactic to force them to lower their guard and submit.

[Jack Sheetai]

I can hear you perfectly. You've done quite well so far. Keep it up and I won't have to punish you later. He said to her jokingly through the Force.

He then said out loud, "Open your eyes, Sky. You'll need them open for the next one."

With that Jack walked towards the part of the grounds where the training droids were. Or at least where they lie deactivated and broken of course. There were a few that were active still, but, they were elsewhere. No need for them now. They were used for lightsaber combat. Motioning towards one of them the Sith Knight then spoke.

"With the Dark Side, my apprentice, you can move objects with your thoughts...and the Force obviously. Look at one of the training droids that are deactivated and focus your will to Push it. If need be outstretch your hand. Like this!" Jack said turning towards her.

With his hand outstretched the clown then summoned the Dark Side and let go a burst of Force energy to push Sky off her feet. As he did he then laughed like the lunatic he was. He told her it wasn't going to be a walk in the park. Not by a long shot! The training was going to be brutal. It would hurt...a lot. By the end she would be exhausted both mentally and physically. Twas the training of a Sith. All of it was how he was trained by Darth Zeta. Pushed to the limits in all aspects. So that was how he would train his own students.

[Sky Harrison]

The raw example of power before her slammed into her body and knocked her backwards and into a horizontal spiral before she hit the ground on her stomach and her face in the dirt. Sky laid there for a moment, analyzing what just happened. Smiling, she let out a single low laugh that was barely audible and shook her head. She clenched her left gloved hand and slammed it on the ground, still shaking her head in anger. He'd pay for that. She could feel the energy in her reaching its boiling point. Taking a glove full of dirt in her right hand, she stood up from the ground, her front and half her face stained from the loose soil.

"Droid? What droid?" Her voice was full of pure hate and she was no longer smiling. Confidence was emanating from her. The same that she felt when she faced the Sith Lord on the previous day before the Council. "The only target I see is you." Sky extended her right arm in front of her and brought her right fist to eye level before loosening her grip and letting some of the dirt trickle out through the opening at the bottom of her fist. Now that some of it was emptied, she tossed the loose dirt into the air to make a dirt cloud and focused all her energy outward with the assistance of her jutting left hand. A small, concussive wave of invisible energy left her body and broke through the dust, parting most of the dust to the sides but carrying what little remained of it right at Jack.

[Jack Sheetai]

Jack then smirked while she stood up from being slammed to the ground. He could feel the raw hate in her now and it was intoxicating to him. Her focus was intent on him now to which he wasn't surprised. In fact, he wanted her to hate him. In a sense anyways. Jack wanted her to push back if anything. Show him what she was capable of. It was then that Sky outstretched her hand with the loose dirt trickling to the ground spraying it in a dust cloud.

Although his eyes went wide as he could feel her use the Force and sent the wave towards him. The clown wasn't expecting that one. At least not at that moment. When the wave came it sent him off his feet about 2 feet off the ground. Being knocked back the clown skidded across the dirt as he laughed. Now they would have fun! Well, fun to him maybe. Stumbling to his feet, the clown Knight brushed off the dirt.

"Excellent!" Jack exclaimed his voice dripped with the power of the darkness, "I was hoping you'd aim that at me. I told you this wasn't a cakewalk! You must be ready for anything and everything. Remember my dear...I'm utterly insane!"

He then chuckled once again, "Now that you learned the first ability. This one should come a bit easier. It's the same thing as before. Just in reverse. Instead of pushing me back I want you to pull me towards you. Like this!"

The Sith Knight outstretched his hand towards her and made a pulling motion with it. An invisible energy would pull her forward either onto the dirt or else make her stumble and then trip. Either way didn't matter. As long as it made the point. Now, bracing himself after his display he then kept his feet planted to make sure he'd not fall onto his face. Much like Sky did when he Pushed her to the ground.

"Focus, Sky! Use your hatred for me! I want you to hate me! Hate me because I have the power that you seek!" Jack said goading her with the Dark Side.
