No Word....
The young disciple returned to Rama's about 2 weeks later, still no word from Cale. She sighed as she took her usual spot at the bar and ordered her round of Ale. It was around 3 in the morning when she glanced down at her chrono and she knew she'd never get to sleep with everything on her mind.
'Surely he's alright,' She thought to herself as she took her first sip of the Ale, but then downed it in one whole gulp, thinking now would be a good time to get plastered. But then she began to blame herself for not going on the journey to help him out. So what if it was a battle? She could handle herself no matter what the situation spelled out. Surely it wouldn't have been that bad... but then again, if he's been gone this long......
She let her thoughts hang over her burdened heart and continued to ponder his hopeful return. She missed looking into those fiery eyes and seeing that warm smile that toyed with her very heart. There was something about those eyes... something that Nikka just couldn't let go of.
Slamming her glass on the counter, she motioned for a refil. Others glanced at her from afar, sensing her despair and even anger at not going to help him, but she knew if she went, something would have happened to her and there would be no more... But... Nikka's patience was beginning to run thin...

"What's bothering you ?"
A girl who seemed a few years younger than her was sitting on the counter itself, her feet resting on a barstool, the side of her forehead leaning against the cold wall. A few empty bottles were besides her, a grin drew on her lips, but it was obvious that she wasn't drunk.

Nikka glanced over at the girl not noticing her there before as she was lost in her thoughts. She began twirling the glass in between her fingertips on the table, obvious to her own nervousness and anxiety. Shaking her head, she replied in a shaky, distressed tone.
"Nothing.. sorry I disturbed you."
'Yeah so what I lied... the fact I'm missing someone is nobody's business...'
She thought to herself, staring down in the glass before her. Seconds later, she slammed the glass back down on the table and tossed a few credits on the counter to the barkeep for the drink.
"Keep the change..."
She stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
Arriving outside, Nikka made her way down the walkway and to a deserted spot. It was a high point on the hillside that looked down over the valley, a perfect place for anyone to get away from any hustle and bustle to clear the mind. The dark, night sky was perfectly clear and dotted with millions of stars that overlooked the entire grounds.
Nikka sat down on the cold grass and stared up at the sky as if she were in communication with someone, but she was merely wishing for someone's safety and swift return to TSE. She let out a long sigh as emotion began to build within her, emotion that Nikka had a hard time holding back. Tears fell down her cheeks and she felt it was a good thing that she was there alone...
After minutes of crying helplessly, something dawned on her. She looked to the sky again and sighed, this time, a sign coming forth.
'I don't want to let you go. I know you're there. I just hope that you can hear me wherever you are...'
More tears streamed down her face as she left her thoughts incomplete and sat there, the dampness in the air showing in every breath she took. She longed for one more time to see that face, to look into those eyes and to hear that voice. In one more whisper under the silvery moon, she muttered, 'I miss you...'

:: A lone figure slowly walked up the hillside with a heavy limp. His pitch black cloak and hood all but hid him in the Darkness of night. Upon reaching the top he paused a moment as he saw his beloved on the ground in tears, he truly hated to see her like this it pained him greatly. He stopped a few yards behind her, hoping the right words would come to him as he walked, but they hadn't. Taking a deep breath he let out a small sigh ::
" Are those tears for me? "
:: His voice echoed from behind ::

*Nikka almost feared to look back as she heard the voice behind her and thought she was imagining things. She wiped the tears from her eyes, hesitating to speak for the moment but then slowly turned around. There he stood in front of her, those red eyes glowing and piercing through her very soul. She stood from the ground and approached him, never being so happy to see him in this moment.*
"Cale..."
*Nikka took no hesitation as she embraced him in her arms, this time shedding tears of joy, no doubt the tears being for him.*
"I missed you so much..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:: Phantom clinched his teeth as she embraced him making a low grunting sound as though in pain, but it quickly faded and was replaced by a smile. He wraped both arms around her and held her tightly, it truly hurt him being away from her ::
" I missed you more then you'll know. I thought about you everyday. "
:: He paused breifly and just held her ::
" I've been thinking, I ... care for you, I think about you all the time, I guess what I'm saying is I want to be more then just friends. "
:: It was hard for him to talk plainly about his feelings and it took a great deal for him to put himself on the line like this, the only emotion he showed often was hate, but this was love ::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Nikka DarkStorm on 07-23-2002 12:50 AM:
*She wiped her tears and looked deeply into his eyes. There was no doubt in her heart that she felt the same way about him. He was the one and she had never felt this way since her husband died. The void in her heart had now been filled. Hearing his words, she kept her gaze onto his as she held him and smiled.*
"I-I don't know what to say..."
*She paused briefly, taking in everthing he said as it overwhelmed her and then she held him closer, resting her head on his shoulder.*
"I've needed this for what it seems like forever, but when you watch someone you've loved forever slowly pass away, you wonder if you'll ever love someone again."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Darth Phantom on 07-27-2002 01:58 AM:
:: The Sith Lord smiled softly as he looked into her eye's, he could feel she felt the same about him ::
" Say Yes. "
:: Phantom paused a moment thinking about Athena as Nikka mentioned losing a loved one, he took a deep breath and sighed heavily ::
" I know the feeling ... I too know how it feels to lose someone close to you, but you can't let that stop you of taking control of your future, even though how hard it might be and belive me it truly is hard. "
:: Phantom paused again thinking about the past ::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Nikka DarkStorm on 07-27-2002 02:33 AM:
*Still overcome with emotion, Nikka smiled with the tears still in her eyes. She hadn't felt this way in such a long time about someone and within it all, she knew that being with him was the only thing that felt right in her heart.*
"I would like that very much. I care for you as well and I know that this can work for both of us...so yes."
*Nikka closed her eyes for a brief moment, this time, not thinking about her fallen love, but the very man that was holding her there under the moonlight. For she knew that her future is being in his arms... Now was the time to bury the past and move on.*
"He would want me to be happy and I am. For the first time in my life, everything seems to be working out for the best."
*The Disciple thought and then opened her eyes, gazing into Phantom's.*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Darth Phantom on 07-31-2002 01:59 AM:
:: Phantom looked into Nikka's eye's as he slowly leaned over and kissed her lips gently ::
" Let's not dwell on the past any longer tonight, lets think of the future ... our future. "
:: The Sith Lord smiled softly as he looked at her ::
" Come lets do something to celebrate, what shall it be? "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Nikka Darkstorm on 08-03-2002 10:04 PM:
*A tingle ran through Nikka's senses as he kissed her. It had been so long since she had felt this mean of affection. She returned the kiss to him and broke from him in time for him to speak.*
*Nikka simply shrugged at the question, thinking anywhere would be appropriate, but she would rather be alone with him than around a group of people.*
"Let's go where we can be alone, or we can stay here. It doesn't matter to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Darth Phantom on 08-07-2002 10:25 PM:
:: He nodded slowly in agreement ::
" Alright ... "
:: He paused for a sencond as he held her in his arms ::
" The view is much better here ... "
:: He said softly. He gently took a deep breath and let out a small sigh of relief. A cool breeze picked up, the Sith Lord removed his cloak and wrapped it around her ::
" I love you. "
:: He sat for a moment just watching the Moon ::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Nikka Darkstorm on 08-07-2002 10:39 PM:
*She wrapped herself inside his robe and leaned in on his shoulder more as they sat there gazing at the moon. Then the words echoed inside her head endlessly like a broken record....
"I love you...."
As she looked up into his eyes once again, her mind just went blank and at first, she didn't know what to say. Nobody had told her that in so many years, it was overwhelming to her.
