Trust 24 "What if she's not?" said Anakin "then we do what we have to do" said Obi wan "I don't know if I can" said Anakin. Obi wan looked strained for a moment. "Then lets hope we do not have to" said Obi wan. He cut through the lift doors in front of him. He was about to go through when Anakin's hand stayed him. "Obi wan she's been in his hands for almost a month" said Anakin "I know, don't worry I doubt she's turned if anything she probably has Dooku jumping through hoops" said Obi wan. He climbed into the shaft followed by Anakin."You love her don't you?" said Anakin Obi wan looked pained for a second "and you don't" said Obi wan Three weeks earlier Dooku had been surprisingly attentive since she came back to him, as he put it. She knew he was the one running interference with the separatists for her. He was apparently trying to reverse her traitor status with them. He said that Obi wan was freed, though Isis worried that he meant killed not released. Unfortunately she had no way out of her bargain. Despite her being unbound she was still very much a prisoner. Though he did answer her questions without too much avoidance. The answers made her wonder even more what Sidious' real game plan was. Standing here now brought her no closer to them either way. Back to bridge, wedding ceremony The ships captain began the ceremony, his strange accent made the words almost comical sounding. It was like having Elmer Fudd perform her wedding; she tried real hard to stifle the urge to giggle. The ceremony seemed to be taking forever. Just as they were about to announce that they were husband and wife, the door burst open. "I abject" said Obi wan "Obi wan the time to object was ten minutes ago your too late were already married" said Dooku "Then she's about to be a widow" said Anakin "I highly doubt that" said Dooku "Isis be a dear and guard the chancellor for me" said Dooku. Isis rolled her eyes at the request but she did get out of the way. "Are you all right?" said Obi wan "Yeah I'm fine, why?" said Isis "he didn't hurt you?" said Obi wan "no why?" said Isis. "Isis, Palpatine, now!" he ordered. "Be careful," she said She glared at him and headed for the chancellor. Greivous and his guards blocked Obi wan from following her. Obi wan was able to take out the guards but Grievous dumped scaffolding on top of Obi. Meanwhile Isis was freeing Palpatine. "Very good my dear, betray him just like I knew you would" said Palpatine the voice sounded familiar so she looked up. For a split second it didn't dawn on her what she was seeing. Until he spoke and something in her head clicked. Palpatine was Sidious; she drew back a pace in surprise. The old man smiled at her "what a clever girl you are" said Sidious. Isis looked at the scene before her from a new perspective. Sidious wasn't on Dooku's side. Dooku was being set up, but why? "Are you going to finish releasing me or watch the show?" said Palpatine she glanced at him in time to see him flick his fingers and use the force to knock more debris on top of Obi wan. So it was about Anakin all along. She murmured a spell under her breath and Sidious glared at her "some things should be earned don't you agree" said Isis she met his eyes when she said it letting him know with a glance that she knew what he was doing. "Yes, indeed they should," said Sidious he sat back in his chair and just watched for now. One of the bodyguards was standing up and instead of heading for the two combatants he headed for Isis and Sidious. Isis drew her saber, Dooku had insisted that she be armed, and he didn't fully trust his allies not to harm her he said. The guard was obviously some sort of back up plan, though whom he was supposed to eliminate was debatable. Isis placed herself between the chancellor and the guard and made ready to defend the asshole. After fighting him for a few minutes his aim was obvious, he was trying to kill Palpatine. Isis fought it across the floor and eventually took it down. The guard had just hit the floor when she heard Dooku cry out and do the same. She glanced over at the other fight. Dooku was on the ground; one of his arms was on the ground near her. Anakin was standing over him "Anakin no!" yelled Isis She could tell by the look on his face that he wanted to kill him. "He's much too dangerous to let live my son," said Palpatine "Anakin don't, we'll take him back and he'll stand trial" said Isis Anakin looked at her taking in the state of her dress and her battered appearance and it just made the anger swell in him. "There can only be one kind of justice for the likes of him," said Anakin then he drew both Dooku's and his own sabers across Dooku's neck in a scissors like motion. Dooku's head toppled from his shoulders and Isis stared in open-mouthed shock. He turned off the sabers and walked towards her. Isis moved away from him and watched mutely as he cut the chancellor free. She numbly walked towards Obi wan and checked his pulse. She avoided looking at Dooku's body the whole time; afraid she would give into her sudden nausea Anakin was watching her "are you going to help me or stand there?" said Isis "that would depend on you," said Anakin "on me how?" said Isis "on whose side your on and if you married him willingly?" said Anakin "Anakin there isn't time for that, the ship is going down, now help me damn it!" she said He stayed put, and she swore at him "damn it what do you want to hear that he dragged me kicking and screaming to the alter?" said Isis "well it didn't happen, I made a bargain, because I thought he still had Obi wan" said Isis She was angrily flinging pieces of debris off of Obi wan. Anakin outstretched one hand and the debris floated off of Obi wan. Isis grabbed Obi and dragged him clear. Anakin walked towards her and knelt next to her as she kneeled beside Obi wan. "Don't ever do that again, I said I'd come for you and I will, next time believe me," said Anakin. Isis just nodded in response. Too numbed by his tone to say anything else. Anakin turned his back on her a walked over to Dooku's body while she kneeled beside Obi wan. He kept his saber on however and was watching her warily. "You seem to have lost your friends my dear," said Palpatine. She glared at him but didn't say anything in return she was still numbed by Anakin's actions and unsure if he was still her friend. Palpatine looked at her then approached Anakin. "It is possible that she simply gave up hoping to be rescued, perhaps you judge her too harshly?" said Palpatine. "Are you saying that she didn't agree to this willingly?" said Anakin "all I'm saying is that if given a choice what woman would willingly marry a Sith" said Palpatine. Anakin seemed to be thinking it over for a few seconds, his gaze briefly flickering to her. She didn't look very threatening and she had defended the chancellor. He turned off his blade if anything she looked sad and slightly bedraggled. Isis looked at Palpatine funny, why was he defending her? Anakin looked away from her and at Obi wan, Palpatine had told him that Isis had bargained her freedom for their safety. It felt wrong to decry her sacrifice even if it was in vain. She hadn't known that it had been though, so she did the only thing she could to save them. It made him nauseous to know that she loved them that much while the council condoned them using her. "We need to get off the ship," said Palpatine. Anakin reached for Obi- wan's fallen form. "Leave him he'll only slow us down" said Palpatine Isis reached for him at the same time. "Fine Isis you and Palpatine help Obi wan I'll take the lead," said Anakin Isis slid an arm under Obi- wan's arm and murmured a strength spell under her breath before lifting him up partially. Palpatine groaned and took up the other side of Obi wan. He was muttering complaints the whole time. Palpatine waited until Anakin was far enough ahead of them to mutter, "you know he was going to kill you" "So why did you stop him?" said Isis the old man smiled at her and said, "I have my reasons" Two weeks after Obi wan's disappearance and before her capture Isis had been confined to temple despite her protests. She took some shrapnel in her left leg on an assignment so the temple healers had recommended she remain at temple until healed. She was now at least able to leave the bacta tanks and the bed and walk around. She had been working on regaining her mobility in the injured leg. Maybe that's why she found herself on the practice sands. She watched the combatants below her until she spotted a familiar face. Korto was in the arena facing off against a fellow Jedi. She watched them until Korto won then approached him. "Wow nicely done" said Isis "well hello they're my dear long time no see" said Korto "hello Vos, it is Vos right?" said Isis "Yes actually it is, though my first name isn't actually Korto its Quinlin," he said with a smile. "Would you care to go a few rounds?" he said with a smile. His manner left her wondering what kind of rounds he was really referring to. "I'd love to but my healer would have a nerf," said Isis he laughed "never heard of that happening before, I'll take it easy on you, just a few katas" said Vos She shrugged that actually sounded like fun after so much time confined to bed. "Sure sounds great," she said She took out her saber and ignited it. They went through the katas easily. "You seem to be healed to me, want to try some sparing?" said Vos "sure" she said then she dropped into a fighting stance. They went back and forth for a few minutes "your skills are definitely improving Anakin must be a fine teacher" said Vos. Isis responded with a blow that was a little harder than she intended. "Was that anger?" said Vos in surprise "sorry Anakin is a bit of a sore subject lately" said Isis "would you mind telling me why?" said Vos "yes actually I would, sorry" she said "Have you tried discussing it with him, you two seemed so close" said Vos. Isis winched, if only he knew how accurate those words were. Vos had left himself open in his effort to discuss her dilemma so she used the opening to dump him on his behind. From somewhere to her right someone was clapping. It was Anakin "wow good match you know Vos you might actually win one if you talked less" said Anakin. Vos climbed to his feet and brushed his robes off. "Really and how long has it been since our chosen one has actually sparred with anyone?" said Vos "was that an invitation Vos" said Anakin "actually yes well I'll even bet she can beat you like she is now" said Vos Isis groaned this had gone from a friendly bout to a testosterone fest. She briefly thought about closing up her saber and going home. "Well Isis are you up to it?" said Vos. Isis shrugged she had wanted a workout. Though she wasn't looking forward to having her ass handed to her. Nor was she even looking forward to being in the same room as Anakin for any length of time. "Sure why not?" she answered. "Are you sure your up to this " Anakin asked as he took his position across from her on the sands. "I'm fine," she answered curtly. She didn't even meet his eyes. Something about his tone kicked something in her, giving rise to a stubborn refusal to show him any weakness. Another part of her wanted to beat Anakin senseless. Vos walked over to the viewing area and reached discreetly into his bag. Isis ignited her blade and Anakin did the same "what no how are you?" said Anakin He said it in a teasing voice so she assumed he was trying to talk to her, too bad she didn't feel like talking. "I thought you just berated Vos for doing that?" she mocked back He chuckled "so I did, didn't I?" he said. She attacked him and he sidestepped. "Your unusually quiet, where's the usual banter?" said Anakin She circled "thought you wanted to fight?" she said snidely "is that what you want Isis?" he asked She smiled wickedly "do you?" he asked she responded by attacking him again. He stepped out of the way just in time to avoid her blade coming way to close to his face instead he got a haircut. Her attack had put her backside to him so he playfully kicked her in the ass. His playfulness was having an opposite effect on her mood. The anger she had been avoiding came bubbling to the surface like water out of a dam. She swung a back blow with a lot more force than was necessary. The blow drove him backward in surprise. He reached out to read her force signature; usually he couldn't read it unless a strong emotion gripped her. Like it was doing now, Anger was coloring her signature almost black. "Isis?" he said in question. She met his eyes in that instant and he knew now that she was no longer engaged in a friendly sparing session. She meant to kill him and she just might succeed if he didn't start defending himself better. Vos smiled in the stands as he watched the holorecorder in his bag was getting the whole fight. This was precisely why Dooku had wanted her watched. She was showing her Sith training right now and it was all the Jedi chosen one could do to keep himself from dying on the practice sands. Anakin narrowly blocked a blow that would have removed part of his face "Isis talk to me" said Anakin She growled in response and attacked more viciously. "Fine so be it," said Anakin. He didn't want to hurt her but he needed to get that saber from her hands before she killed him. He was rapidly trying to think of a way to defeat her without maiming her or worse when his legs went out from under him and he found himself unable to move. His hand was closed over his saber but he couldn't raise it. Isis stepped on his hand and he gasped as her foot crunched a few gears. Her blade was hovering inches from his throat. "Isis?" he whispered softly "do you surrender?" she asked coldly. "Are you going to kill me if I don't?" said Anakin. He didn't bother to hide the bit of fear in his voice. She had him, he was effectively helpless and it scared him. She blinked in surprise the red haze she had been using to fight him was fading. His words finally registered and she stepped back in horror. "Yes, then" he said she stepped back further and turned off her saber. Then she ran from the room as the realization of what she almost did finally hit her. It wasn't until she was clear of the room that he was able to move again. "Isis wait!" he yelled. "Wow she's better than I thought," said Vos. Anakin barely resisted the urge to hit him before he took off after Isis. He caught the sight of her fleeing figure as it headed for one of the balconies. "Isis wait, please!" he yelled again and ran after her. He caught her on one of the balconies "Isis please we must talk" said Anakin "I have nothing to say to you" she yelled back "yes you do or you wouldn't have tried to kill me" said Anakin "Anakin please just leave me alone" said Isis "I can't" he said and moved forward. "Well try," she said "there is do or do not." he started to say "there is no try, I get it now leave me alone" said Isis "Not until you answer me one thing?" he said "fine whatever what is it?" she said back "were you trying to kill me Isis?" he asked she turned towards the balcony rail and then nodded yes quietly. "Then your still angry with me?" he asked. She kept her back to him and nodded yes again "Isis face me please" he said softly. She shook her head no, so he stepped forward instead. He put his arms around her. She turned to look at him "I'm sorry" she half sobbed before clinging to his chest. "It's all right I understand" he said softly "you can't possibly understand..Sniffle..What you did to me," she said. He looked guilty and sad "your right I can't, all I can do is live the rest of my life begging for your forgiveness" he said softly "I can't give it, not now its too soon" she said. "Then I'll wait" he said he held her for a few more seconds then regretfully released her when she pulled away from him.
