Alais remained quiet as she drove towards the security station. She knew the girls would be in good hands from then on, the entire planet viciously against slavery or trafficking of any sort. She kept glancing over at Kal as she drove, noting that he avoided looking at her for the most part, his mind troubled. Alais reflected on her own thoughts and everything she had done back at the mansion.
She knew it was wrong, and she knew she had crossed lines. Why was that kind of power forbidden if it made her more capable? She was more use when she had that power than she had been as a lost little girl without a weapon. Alais knew that power could save her when everything else failed her. It was not an external, alien concept like she had been taught. It was a fundamental part of her, a side of her that had been dormant this whole time. Did that mean she was inherently dark?
Alais’ thoughts stuck with her till she arrived where they needed to be. She turned to the oldest girl, “Don’t mention anything about the saber or the flying stuff. Otherwise it’ll get us and you in trouble,” There was something unnerving about the look in Alais’ eyes that caused the girl to nod frantically before leading the other girls out.
Alais wasted no time, taking the truck back towards where their speeder was parked. It was back to just the two of them now, the mission ringing in her mind. More than that, she thought of how justice had been served. However, she knew this wasn’t the end of it.
Alais reached over to grab a datastick, handing it to Kal, “I nabbed it when we were in the office. It’ll hopefully give us leads in case there are more operations like this. I just know there’s a head honcho somewhere at the top that we can take down..”
A few moments of silence passed. It was then that she finally looked at Kal, biting her lip, “Kal… do I scare you?”
