Personal Entry- Weakness to the Feral

Why is a covert agent reviewing the security of a temple converted into a base? Why am I tasked with such things on Yavin 4? I approached the temple as I felt Scarlet rise from a sleep on Dantooine. She reached out to across the bond *smile* I need to wrap this up so I can see her, it has been too long…Much, much to long. Speeding back to the starport I was struck with a feral scream across the bond…rage, fury, bloodlust…Gods what is she doing? I called to her and received a disoriented response. I urged her to stay in the medical center until I arrived. Speeding off in my tie to Dantooine, I ran into the medical center to see her calmly sitting on the bed. A few places of her armor were scorched, but not with a laser weapon…I looked at her exposed skin…a few hits it seems, but not burned…they felt cold…Ah!! Pirates and their SG82 rifles…She did not seem to be in too much pain, her injuries were minimal, especially for a Zabrak. I reached under her padded armor to lift her shirt slightly so I could inspect her stitches. Perfect…no damage.

I wanted to show her Theed while I could escort her. Stormtroopers can be made to turn the other way, however if she were to go alone…Scarlet needed to see the occupation so she could be prepared for it. When we landed I was greeted with laser fire from a Rebel Sniper. *sigh* I pulled out my DX2 and charged him. I knocked him down with my pistol and told him to stop. He would not stop struggling and fighting. I raised the pistol and took aim at his head.
I am sorry your duty has caused you to be foolish…

I ran back to the Starport to see Brem. Scarlet was excitedly talking to him. The errant rebel came by and tried to attack us. Brem and I quickly showed them why they should leave us be. Scarlet was not happy. There were too many people so we went to the cantina. Wow, again, too many people for Scarlet this quick after being cooped up. We stepped outside and then it hit me…

Her smell…but she was not there. Standing before me was Highway. *feral* I felt the hair on my neck bristle. Her scent is on this ranger…

*Max?*

I snapped out of something I had not felt for awhile. The feral bloodlust wanted to consume me. I looked down and noticed my trigger finger was stroking my sidearm. I fought for control, for focus. I could hear Highway and Scarlet speaking but do not know what they said.

*Maxell what is it? She must live her own life.*

*feral*

If he harms her…

*I know, I fear for his life should he ever harm her*

No, not his life…his friends, his family…his guild…Will all die!! I will leave him alive to suffer in the death that was caused by his carelessness. All their blood will be on his hands!!

*shiver*

They were talking again. Scarlet said let’s leave and we parted. Gods what came over me? A scary part of my mind opened up and let loose a flood of emotions across the bond, radiating outward for all to sense.

We went to the starport and boarded my sorosub. Silence, beautiful silence…no scents, no sounds besides our own. I began to shrug off my battle armor. Scarlet stood before me. We spoke of my actions, I apologized for my weakness. We went into the main room and spoke, standing face to face. Something touched me from the bond, a...hunger…*shock* It had been so long…Scarlet, the feelings, the bond, the love…my hunger…I stepped away intent on taking her upstairs to the observation deck. My sudden withdraw shook her from her state. She was embarrassed and shocked at herself. Scarlet, it has been so long for you, for us…

We went upstairs and looked at the beauty before us. She stared out into space at the shimmering stars and nebulas. I stared at the soft curves of her body and her face as the starlight danced across it. Sensing me close to her she turned and we embraced. Gods it has been so long…her touch on my flesh, her lips to mine…the hunger consumed us both…kisses, soft bites, the tight grip of passion surrounded us.

*PAIN!!*

The wave of pain washed over me from the bond. Gods what has happened to her?!?! I slowly withdrew my tight embrace from her…Kark…blood…I got up and began frantically putting on clothing. I told her to try to do the same that I was flying her back to Dantooine and Dr. Narheen. She was upset at our foolishness, as was I. It was stupid of me. I am stronger then that. I should have known. I should not have lost myself to my desires. I failed her…Dammit I failed her.
