Absolution

[Aurek]

Cade aggressively stalked towards the two men, their guns were raised now pointed at him. Before either could fire a shot, Cade pulled both his and Anthoni's sabers, activating them both in unison. The two men stumbled backwards, one yelling "Jedi!"

Cade showed no mercy, with a deft swing of each blade, Cade decapitated both men, watching as their heads fell to the pavement below with a soft thud.
Cade looked over at Anthoni, who threw a knife into the woman he was supposed to help. Cade screamed at Anthoni.

"What the fuck are you doing?!"
Cade rushed to the woman, pulling the knife from her thigh and throwing it to the side. He wripped off the sleeve of his robe, balling up the fabric and pressing it to the wound. Now soaked with blood. He ripped another piece and tied it around her thigh. As a bandage, it would suffice until they found the girl professional help.

Cade spoke in a soothing voice to the woman.

"Hang in there.. we'll get you the help you need."

Cade looked to the two corpses he had just ruthlessly murdered. He had no regrets, killing the two men took a weight off his shoulders that he couldn't explain. He felt... alive.

Cade looked to Anthoni, who channeled the force to choke the third man. He looked at the man, painfully begging for air. He looked back at Anthoni, angry but powerful.

In those moments, Cade knew that Anthoni had been right.

The man was going limp his body was shutting down. Anthoni watched as the life slowly left him, with eyes burning with red flame. He saw the man make one last attempt for life, slowly his arm began to rise, reaching out for Anthoni's face. He stared at the man, why should he live, he was about to do this girl harm, why should be live?

Then Anthoni looked at the wounded girl and took in her features. Short with long blond hair, her cram was small and delicate, and her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue. Anthoni looked at her and she looked back at him. The women was in much pain, but Anthoni saw fear in her face as she stated back at him. Anthoni saw complete terror, she was scared of Anthoni frightened by what he was doing.

Right then Anthoni dropped his hold of the man. He fell hard on his knees and sucked in air violently. The man lashed around as he coughed and breathed in greedily, taking in something he once took for granted. Anthoni looked down at his hard rough hands, then at the women.

What have I become?

Then he slowly walked towards her but was stopped by her sudden cry. Anthoni truely frightened her, but why he just saved her life? He did what he had to to save her. He then looked at the man and took the rest of his anger out on him. He kicked the man in the chest and told him to leave. The man ran off not thinking twice about leaving.

Anthoni then awalked to the women wether she was scared for not. He knelt down and picked her up, underneath her knee and neck.

"Don't be scared your going to be all right."

He then looked at cade, who looked genuinly changed. Like the man was having a major internal struggle. He did not know how to react so Anthoni just spoke to him telepathically.

"This girl will bleed out in twenty minutes. I've seen this wound before, it will either get infected and they'll take the leg. Or she will loose to much blood." He then walked out of the alley leaving Cade to lag behind.

Cade looked down at the girl through fiery eyes.. Anthoni had sealed her fate. The two other women had fled after the thugs had been killed, leaving this poor girl alone.

But what choice did he have? The lomger he stayed on this damn planet, the bigger chance he'd be spotted by Jedi hunters, or Imperials. He had no choice anymore -- this was a matter of survival.

At least that was how he rationalized what he did next. Pulling the hilt from his belt, he activated his lightsaber and without hesitation plunged the blade through the girls heart, instantly putting her out of her misery.

Cade took a final look at the innocent girl he had just murdered in cold blood, knowing her face would haunt him until the end of his days.

But he had the rest of his life to dwell on that. For now, he needed to focus on surviving.

He stood and followed after Anthoni.

With the girl in his arms Anthoni walked down the lonely streets of Nar Shadda, the women was dying rapidly. Anthoni though he hit a vital organ, he knew she was about to die. Anthoni killed a women just to get to a thug. The girl looked up at him, her eyes starting to glaze over. "Will...will I die?" She asked him through clattering teeth. Anthoni did not know what to say so he said nothing for a short amount of time. "No you won't die, I told you your safe with me." It sounded strange he just stabbed the women did he not? But no less he gave her false hope, hope that Anthoni himself wished was true but he knew wasn't. "My...my name's Rachel." She said as she tucked in closer to Anthoni probably trying to get warm. Anthoni cursed inside his head, he did not want to know this womens name, not like this.

As they walked Anthoni decided to cut through another alleyway it was closer to the ship yard and would buy the women few precious minutes. When he got there Anthoni felt something awful in his mind, something wrong. He set Rachel down gently along the hard stone. The then he left her there in Cade's company, he guessed Cade would feel the disturbance aswell and protect the women while Anthoni scouted ahead.

When he left he peeked out around the corner and saw several imperial troopers guarding the entrance to the Spaceport. Anthoni ran back to Cade about to tell him what he found awaiting the three of them. Then he saw her, Rachel laid lifeless on the ground and Cade's saber was in hand. He instantly knew that Cade had killed her, and the look on Cade's face told him it was not easy.

Instantly Anthoni sprung into action. He grabbed Cade by the collar and pushed him against the wall. "What did you do? Why Cade? Why?" He said to him raw emotion on his face. He was not angry, he was sad. This man just murdered an innocent women, a man he thought was once so noble.
