Location: Kodai

154 ABY: Down the stairs they went, spiralling into the darkness. Their footsteps echoed sharply against the curved stone walls, sounding overly loud, like the booming heartbeat of a condemned prisoner. “Where are we going Master?” Kimi asked softly as she followed the large Chagrian down the old stone steps of his Fortress on Kodai. “You will see girl, I don’t want to spoil the surprise,” he said. There was a slight chuckle at the end of his sentence, that made Kimi wonder if this was yet another trick of the Sith warrior.

It had been over a year now, since Jax had bought her from the Dollhouse brothel on Keyorin. The Chagrian was a regular, he had his eyes on her since the day she arrived at the Dollhouse. The manager had granted his request to break her in on her first night, Kimi was terrified. Luckily for her the other girls provided drugs for her so that she didn't have to feel it. The next day she could barely remember anything from that night, but the Sith kept coming back, just for her.

One night he found out she was force sensitive when he caught her using telekinesis to grab a spice laced cigarette from the nightstand. He offered to buy her out and train her, she hated him but it was an offer she couldn't refuse. After buying her out, he did keep his promise to train her in the ways of the Sith, but she wasn't free. Kimi was his property, a toy for him to play with whenever he pleased, and he often did.

At the foot of the stairs the Chargrian stopped and turned towards her “close your eyes" he said with a grin, holding out his hand. Nervously Kimi took his hand and closed her eyes. He led her down the last steps, where she could hear him unlock the large durasteel door, it grinded as he pushed it open. Her heart was racing, she could sense a lot of Dark Side emotions coming from the space behind the heavy door. Frightened, she placed her trust in him and allowed him to lead her through the threshold. Sand and dust crunched under their feet with each step they made, it didn’t take long until Jax stopped again.

He let go of her hand and moved behind her. The young Pantoran felt his large hands on her waist as he turned her towards the still unknown surprise. “Are you ready?” she felt his hot breath on her neck. Without hesitation Kimi nodded, her curiosity was strong. “You can open your eyes girl” the Sith said with a chuckle and stepped away.

Slowly her golden eyes opened, she was inside the dungeons, a torture chamber. Shocked, she turned to the Chargrian, “Master, I don’t understand” she said feeling worried that she would be the one that was going to be tortured. He grinned at her, “look in there, there is someone waiting for you.” He said as he pointed towards a large chest at the centre of the room. The nineteen year old slowly approached the chest, curious and yet scared of who she would find. With both hands she reached for the lid, clasping it tight she slowly lifted it up, opening the chest. Her eyes grew bigger in disbelief, shocked she looked up at Jax who had followed her. “Tadaa" he said with a grin, as loomed over her “do what you must, you can use anything from this room" he motioned at the walls that were decorated with torture tool. "Break free from that chain" he continued as she looked back down into the chest again.

Inside, lay a Pantoran woman, Cho Jin, her stepmother. Motionless, her eyes closed only her chest was rising and falling to slow steady breaths. Kimi started to feel overwhelmed, this woman had brought her so much pain, she hated her with every fiber in her body. The Chagrian now stood on the other side of the chest. "She put up quite a fight," he said with a grin, "you never told me she was force sensitive." Kimi's eyes grew in disbelief, "force sensitive?, I didn't know." but it explained a lot. For a moment she said nothing, thinking about her childhood, about how much influence this woman had over her father. The touch of his hand on her cheek brought her back, she flinched and looked into his eyes. “Now, where shall we put her?” he asked her with a wicked smile. Kimi looked around the chamber, it was filled with torture equipment. Her eyes fell on an old wooden pillory “There, let’s put her on there.” Jax smiled, “the Pillory, designed to humiliate.”

With Telekinesis he lifted the middle aged woman out of the box and walked to the pillory. Kimi opened it, allowing the Sith to place the woman with her head and hands in the holes. The young Pantoran closed it and secured the beam with an old metal lock. “Perfect" Jax turned to her once more, touching her face, with his right hand, his thumb brushing over her lavender lips, "again, feel free to use any of the tools” he pointed at the wall behind her again. With a faint smile she nodded and looked at the many choices. But  when she heard the Sith walk away, she quickly turned back towards him “don’t go, Master” Kimi wanted him to stay, she wanted him to see what she would do to her stepmother, but also it made her feel more confident to have him there. “Oh child, don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere, I don’t want to miss it" he said as she walked to a a big chair on the other side of the room and sat down with a smile “begin."

Anxious, Kimi took a deep breath and stepped towards the pillory. Her heart was pounding in her chest, she had waited for this day for a very long time. Her sadness, anger, pain and suffering was all Cho's doing, Kimi wanted her revenge. Standing before her stepmother, the nineteen  year old raised her hand and smacked the woman across the face with the back of it. At once she  opened her eyes and looked around in shock. “What is the meaning of this? Who are you?” she asked with a light tremble in her voice.

It came as a shock that Cho didn’t recognize Kimi although it had only been two years since the last time they saw each other. It was two years ago when Cho had sold her into slavery. “Do you know who I am!! I am Cho Jin, the wife of senator Akira Sheiko.. I demand you let me go!” she yelled at Kimi, struggling to get her hands free from the pillory. An evil grin appeared on her face “the question is, do you know who I am?” the woman looked her straight into the eyes, at first there was nothing but then her face chanced, shocked. “Kimi?.... that’s impossible.” “yes I am Kimi Sheiko” she looked down on the woman with disgust in her eyes. “Oh thank the Moon Goddess that you are alive, your father will be so happy" Cho said to Kimi. “Don’t lie, woman! Don’t pretend you actually care about me, I know what you did" Kimi paused and waited for a response. Cho frowned "what are you talking about.. let me out of here."stop denying it. It was you who sold me! It was you who manipulated my father for years.” At once Cho shook her head “why would you say such a thing, we were devastated when you ran away in the dead of night, your father was heartbroken” she struggled trying to free herself “now let me go so we can surprise your father.” Kimi’s eyes were burning with hate “don’t you lie, you sold me to the slavers! You gave them access to the house” at the end of her sentence she spat into her face.

Now Cho's face changed, the fake kindness disappeared, showing her true colours she started to scream,  “let me go!! You little whore!!” spitting back at Kimi. Balling her fist Kimi punched the woman in the face “shut up!” but she didn’t shut up. “get me out of here! You got what you deserved you whore!” Again Kimi struck the woman’s face, busting her lip, blood started to flow “you start to believe your own lies.” “your father hated you for what you did, it broke hi...” but before she could finish her sentence Kimi shut her up by holding her mouth closed with Telekinesis.

“You shut up! Just shut up before I remove your tongue!” with the back of her hand she smacked her once more in the face. “how dare you blame for what you did.” Grabbing her by the chin “I was just 16 when my mother died.. natural causes? I know it was you who killed her.” Her nails were digging into Cho's skin “and you slithered your way into my father’s arms. I was blind then, but now I see who you truly are.” She let go of her chin, there were small cuts where her nails had penetrated the skin, drops of blood trickled down. “I trusted you, I came to you for help. You knew what Toshio, you son!! was doing to me!! But instead you pretended not to believe me. You manipulated my father and filled his mind with your lies.”

She walked to the wall with all the weapons, and took a sharp dagger. Playing with the blade she continued to talk “you made sure Kenji was sent away, because you knew my brother would believe me, that he would help me.” she walked closer to the pillory and grabbed Cho's right hand, Kimi stopped the Telekinesis on her mouth and immediately Cho started to scream “no stay away from me!! You deserved everything!!!” she spat blood into Kimi’s face who wiped it away with her sleeve.

She spread Cho's fingers “this it for every single time you let my half brother rape me!!” she brought the blade to Cho's pinky “I remember....” She cut it off, and Cho screamed loudly as she brought the blade to her ring finger “every....” Slicing it off and bringing it to her middle finger “single....” Blood flowed as her finger fell to the floor “time.. he..” The tears ran down her cheeks as she remembered and cut her index finger off “came.. into...” Chopping her thumb off “My room at night” As Kimi walked to the other side of the pillory Cho screamed in horror “noo... noooo. Please stop, you filthy harlot”

looking at Jax for a moment, who silently watched she grabbed Cho's left hand. “I still remember....” she spread her fingers and brought the blade to her thumb “how...” The blade cut through the flesh and joint “he forced himself...” She took Cho's index finger “on me.. and....” It fell to the floor “raped me!!!” Moving to her middle finger “and you knew!!” Cho screamed louder and louder as she felt her fingers being cut off. Kimi took her ring finger “you knew everything” and cut right through it. Taking her last finger “You let it happen" she took it off, as her pinky fell to the floor Cho looked at her eyes red from crying “please! I am sorry!!” she cried.

“You are sorry, you think I want an apology?” Kimi laughed through her tears as she walked behind Cho. “I want you to suffer” with the blade she cut through her stepmother’s clothes, revealing her bare back. “please! Let me go!” she cried, struggling to get herself free from the pillory. “That will not happen, you know it won't" the pale blue Pantoran replied as she walked to the weapons rack and pulled cat-o-nine-tails off the wall. “You manipulated my father, turned him against me" she walked back to the pillory, in front of Cho, showing her the flogging whip. “I was pregnant and afraid. And you... you made him beat me until I miscarried.” “please.. don’t, Kimi please, I will leave your father you will never see me again.” Cho begged as Kimi circled the pillory until she stood behind her. “you think I want to return to my father? He is next and so is your son!!” she swung the whip at Cho's back, the nine leather braids hit her skin making a snapping sound. Cho screamed in pain, as Kimi continued to flog her, again and again and again.

Tears rolled down her pale blue face as she remembered. Cho had poisoned her father's mind against her, making him believe she had brought shame onto their family. Her father was furious, and gave her a beating that resulted in her losing her unborn child. No one was allowed to know,  and therefore they didn't take her to a doctor. Instead she was left alone, locked in her room.

The Pantoran screamed as she continued to strike Cho's back, remembering how she held the fetus in the palm of her hand, not knowing what she was supposed to do with it. "I was just sixteen!!!" She screamed at Cho, as she saw the images of that tiny lifeless being in her hand.

The screaming had stopped, Cho had passed out but Kimi continued to flog her lifeless body. The skin on her back was cut, bleeding heavily, pieces of flesh hung loose. “enough!” Jax yelled as he stood up but Kimi continued, her rage had ignited a fire inside of her. The Chagrian grabbed her wrist before she could hit Cho once more. “I said enough girl! There’s no point in flogging a corpse” he said, as he took the cat-o-nine-tails from her hand.

“You did well" his voice was calm as he threw the whip on the floor. Kimi dropped to her knees, tears pouring down her cheeks as she buried her face in her bloody hands. Jax didn't move, he looked down on her "stop crying." The young Pantoran looked up at the towering Sith. "How do you feel?" He asked coldly. For a moment she said nothing, just trying to compose herself. "Relief" she said and wiped her tears away, "I feel free" she added. "Good" Jax had a proud grin on his face "to be free you need to break all your chains. Use your pain and your hate to become more powerful" he held out his hand "now, get up." She took his hand and he pulled her off the floor.

“Thank you, Master” she said with shuddering breaths. Jax grinned, and licked his lips “you can thank me later, after you washed this filth of you." He then led her away from the pillory, to the exit. One last time Kimi looked back at the bloody mess she made of her stepmother. Her father and half brother would be next to suffer the same faith. Then she glanced at the Chagrian, he glanced back at her "good" he said with a soft chuckle "you can always try." She said nothing, but she knew when the opportunity would arise she would take it..
