It would be almost a month after Anthoni and his lover escaped the Sith. They'd barely got out when the Imperium came and attacked their base. At the time, they'd been in league with Erica Ra'Kul who turned out to be a traitor to the Sith. At least that's what the reports and investigations came up with. Ra'Kul had been killed in action and the only authority around had been Sith Crusader Virrion Morrak. His ranking authority was the only word worth taking, so there was little else anyone could do about it.
Thanks to a dear friend, Mathias Black, both Anthoni and Keiyara Cole were able to leave the facility without being taken into custody. This allowed Anthoni to do as he pleased and join up with the Sith himself. Maybe Erica had something to do with that, maybe he finally realized the calling of the Dark side. Whatever his reasons, the Sith took him in with open arms. Keiyara however, would be a different story.
There was nowhere the girl could turn to. She was wanted by the Jedi for being a traitor, and now the same went for the Sith. She had been Erica's right hand man, so to speak, and was technically considered her own apprentice though Erica was never given permission to sought one out. The girl was a fugitive in all means of the expression. The only person who would take her now was Black, and he had his own plans for the girl.
Keiyara, while in custody of Erica, had undergone several mind reprogramming sessions to make her believe she was the daughter of Erica Ra'Kul. No one knows how long the brainwashing had gone on, but Mathias knew he was the final piece to the puzzle for he created the technology necessary for the procedure. He was there when Keiyara finally broke and they wiped her old memories from her life. It was something he was never comfortable with. He never said a word when he thought Keiyara had joined Erica of her own free will. But when he found out that the real Keiyara had been abducted and abused, forced to work for her, that's when the man grew a conscience. He promised himself the moment he could save her, he would.
As much as Black hated Anthoni, Mathias could tell that she had feelings for the other man. His own personal feelings would have to be set aside. He hated letting Keiyara go, but he knew she would be happy with Anthoni. The only problem was, she was still grieving. She was devastated at the death of her captor: her fake mother. Keiyara fully believed her mother actually was Erica Ra'Kul and that Virion and his apprentice Aubrey had murdered her. She wanted revenge. She didn't understand that she owed them her life. Black couldn't let her leave just yet.
Thankfully Anthoni had a plan. He couldn't bring Keiyara where he was going. He wished to head to Ziost. Anthoni was going to join the Sith and hopefully bring an end to the war. So they travelled to the cold wasteland of the Sith and Anthoni left Keiyara behind. It hurt her, but Mathias said it was for the best.
He took her back to his headquarters where he put his best men on helping her through. But her mind was so warped she refused to accept help and things got ugly. That was a month ago.
Once things settled down Anthoni would get a simple message from Black Industries offering their salaries and brochures and such things as that and if he'd like to schedule an appointment to come down to their main office. He'd know it was really about Keiyara and where her new home was.
When he arrived, he'd be greeted by a protocol droid who took his coat and led him up a tall elevator. The building would remind Anthoni of terrible things, back when he and Keiyara came to end Mr. Black, Mathias' father. That's also when he first met Erica and found out Keiyara had been working for her since the beginning. That's when everything went to Hell.
The droid would open the elevator doors which led to a single doorway that was locked. He stopped in front of it and turned around the Anthoni.
"I'm sure you're aware of Ms. Cole's condition. We've been working to restore her old memories to her and separate the lies that Mistress Ra'Kul placed in her head. She's stable for now, but she has had several episodes where we needed to sedate her. She is not well. Today has been one of her good days, and I'd like to see it stays that way.
"I'd like you to leave your saber and any other weapons you have here, for her sake. And try not to mention anything about the Sith or the Jedi, and nothing about her time with either of them."
Once Anthoni knew the rules, the droids would let him inside and close the door behind him. The large room would be a decorated living space with large windows showing the city of Corellia all around them. There were sculptures around the tables and several couches to sit on. If Anthoni didn't know better, he'd feel as if he walked into a senator's, no maybe a queen's home.
Anthoni would find Keiyara in the adjacent room where a large king size bed was centered in the room. She was standing by the window, holding something small in her hands. What it was he couldn't see.
She was dressed in a lovely silk gown that covered her shoulders, and then slung down like a cape to her wrists. Her chest was covered by a second later of cloth, but her back was open. She still had all the scars and burns she'd had back when they fought against the Sith intruders. The dress, from there, would connect at her waist and fall around her legs, but ending at her ankles.
Anthoni would see her hair was not kept up in the slightest for she looked like she'd just woken up. Normally her hair was so straight, but now it was clotted and knotted together. She wouldn't look at him, but he'd see her reflection in the glass. Her eyes were dark. She looked like she hadn't slept in a long time.
