Torture: Day 2; Mind of Maxell Snow

Queen's Retreat...crowds of people, a wedding, I am there kneeling before Ebe. She is looking down at me with tears welling up in her eyes. She is smiling. I hear clapping, cheering, it is almost deafening.

**JOLT!!! PAIN, RAGE, FERAL**

Step closer Cauil...let me rid you of that hand. Let me feel the tendons snap as I rip it form your arm...Tasting the blood, tasting the flesh, tasting your fear at what you have created...

**blackness**

The streets of Keren...rushing through them on speeders, Mystyn close behind me. She stops on a hillside. I am circling back to see what is going on. She sets up a small camp on the hillside to take in the view. A sunset, framed by the rolling, green hills of the naboo country side and clear sky. Sitting side by side, talking, laughing. I turn to her wide loving eyes. I slowly move towards her lips, her eyes close, then do mine....

**SHOCK!!! PAIN, NEEDLE IN ARM, IV DRIP, EXTREEM FERAL RAGE, CALLING THE FERAL IN SCAR'LET, REACHING FOR MORE, TOUCHING THE FERAL IN DEOMO VIA SCAR'LET'S BOND WITH HIM, RAGE**

Klink!! Klink!!...Klink!! Argghhh!!! The Dance of Death. A beautiful angel covered in shiny, dark red armor. An angel of vengance and destruction, ultimately tempered only by her beauty and self-control. My Tai'Shan. My lover. My only. One mind, one body, one spirit.

*smile*

I see her joy standing and talking to the wookies about the life day. I see her cute nose as she peers over my pool's edge. I see her get frustrated at her ships controls. I see her smirk as I calmly reach down and press the button she was searching for. I see her in the temple sitting in the main ceremony room. I see her looking down at me as I kneel before the shrine to a fallen friend.

*love, Tai'Shan*

**PAIN, HEAT, ELECTRICITY, BURNING**

*eyes close*

*grin*

You will never beat me Cauil, I will never break. Stop wasting your time and mine. Kill me now, I fear nothing, not you, not death, not my future...
