Ebony didn't look up from where she sat, she barely moved, her voice became a whisper and her breathing shallowed, "i wasn't born to be a bounty hunter, really i was born to be like you, a sith. Born in the undercity of coruscant, born in the festering cesspit of crime, and my family was deep in it. My father died when i was 5 and my mother was attacked before my eyes, i don't know who took me, but whoever did, sold me into slavery for 13 years. I hate the sith, because no one bats an eye about what goes on down there, no one does still" Her breathing slightly quickened. "I was a slave for 13 years of my life, and only got free because the same man we're trying to kill attacked the hutts when he was a jedi, he came to the slave quarters, he did things to me too. It's why i have a history with him, why i am going to kill him. I got free because he left me to die and when i survived i fled into the desert and somehow came across a bounty hunter, a mandalorian. I followed him for three months and he took me in, and then i spent 7 years training with him to be a real hunter, then he left" Ebony stopped for a moment, she looked at the sith.
"Ever since i was a little girl, the sith scared me, on that little corner of coruscant, we were taught to not argue with the sith, never back chat or even look at them. I learnt that too on the hutt planet i was a slave on. It's why i joined the republic, because even when i first met you, i had this in built fear of sith, this deep set feeling of having to prove to them that i was not going to be one. That if i a force user could duke it out on my own, i didn't need their teachings" Another shallow breath. "I don't know where i'm going with this, [member="Vaulkhar"], the man i was sent to mos eisley to find, was you, you were my original target, an informant led me onto the other sith, he tried to protect you and when i researched who i failed to kill, i found out it wasn't you" Ebony sat there, receding back to her original position, knees pulled to her chest and eyes aimed down.
"The first man to ever force himself onto me, was a sith, so was the second. You people, you're an order of fear, and that's exactly what i feel every time i'm around you, i feel the fear of you finding out. I came here at first, because if this bounty on me dropped, then i could leave, i could get away from you. Because i came to realise i was in a kind of trance, i fell in love with a man that would kill me if he knew what i've done, what i came to do in the first place. I came here so that i could run to the furthest side of the galaxy with a clear conscience, because the republic is everything you're not, it's safety, and quite frankly, the jedi are what i want, they are what i want to be" Ebony finished with a gulp, she didn't dare look up, she was good with her telepathy, and she knew when someone was angry, needless to say, she didn't need that skill now"
"i don't know what you want to do to me now, kill me if you want, i'd be no match for you in a fight, you could just leave me tied up down here and throw me in a cell when we're back to coruscant, i don't see you doing much else. So your move" She finished and simply waited. Not even wishing to look at the man at the end of the bed.
