Hayley sat in the middle of the meditation chamber, trying to locate Erian through the Force. So far...all she'd been able to feel is pain...and she couldn't get a good lock on him either. Erian was in terrible danger...and it was her fault.
She felt the blonde Jedi approach from behind. "Hayley?"
"I can't find him, Mical." She spoke in a whisper.
"You've been at this for days. It's not healthy." Mical counseled.
Hayley ignored him. "I'm going to go find Marty."
Mical wasn't particularly fond of the bounty hunter...but knew that he was probably the only one who could find Erian. He remained silent as Hayley stood and brushed past him as if he wasn't even there. Mical sighed to himself...

Hayley sat in a meditative position in the middle of the Jedi map room. The many solar systems and stars flitted around her, constantly moving about. It was a humbling experience, just to realize how smal in comparison to the galaxy you were.
She didn't hear Mical come in. "Has Marty contacted you yet?"
Hayley frowned. It always came back to Xavier. No matter how hard she tried, she could never rid herself of that man. "No. Have you?"
"No. Do you think we should start looking for Erian ourselves?" Mical asked.
"I'm not sure...I fear it is already too late."

There was a pounding an urgent pounding at the door before the door finally burst from it's hinges and crashed against the opposite wall. Lilith entered crying hysterically. "I'm sorry... I never meant... I didn't think it'd..." She couldn't finish her sentence. She threw her lightsaber at thier feet and knelt down, offering her head.
"Kill me! Take my head, it's the only way it'll-" She was propelled backwards into the wall and fell before the doorway from which she entered.
{Foolish girl! I am the Force and I give you strength! You've ascended to something more than what a mere mortal could!} Came a disembodied voice from within her that was unsettlingly deep. Though her mouth moved, it seemed as if it didn't come from her at all, like it was larger than her and part of something even larger than itself.
"No! You made me hurt him! You didn't tell me it would consume him!" She argued, her head turning as if she could see this thing she argued with.
{Didn't you know? He was the type perfect to be a Jedi Keeper... didn't you know that it's how the Jedi actually made their story tellers and secret keepers? They hollowed them out and filled them with knowledge that was embodied with the essence of the Force and that how they were given personalities like real beings.} It replied.
"You lie!" She looked up at Mical and Hayley. "Mical, please!" She begged! "End my suffering! My longing to be loved by you that will never be filled and kill this beast within me!"
{B+tch! You are worthless and you sicken me!} The monster within her spat. It called her lightsaber from across the room and ignited it. {I will find another, more worthy vessel to do my bidding! Maybe the girl Master. }

Hayley didn't catch the reference and didn't sense the amount of danger Lilith was threatening her with. Her lightsaber instantly sprang to life, as did Mical's beside her. Using the Force, she closed the door...making sure that Lilith didn't get to any of the other students.
"This needs to end now." Hayey growled.
(It is only the beginning for me...and you shall help me.) The creauture within Lilith spoke threateningly.

"Mical... kill me, please. I would rather die by your hands than by the wrath of this wretched beast inside me." Suddenly blood began to pour from three sudden cuts that just appeared on her cheek. "Or Hayley, please... for the sake of Mical do it. And when I'm gone you can quit blinding yourself to his feelings!"
{Foolish mortal! Don't think I'm letting you off that easy. I've threaded our essences together and now you can not ever be free. They kill you and you alone will feel the pain. We'll jump host together and fuse with another.} The creature announced. Lilith stopped and felt. She did feel more powerful all together, no longer felt this other soul floating inside her.
It was a part of her now.

Hayley felt as if she was frozen, she couldn't move...all she could do was stand there. Her eyes flitted about, looking for a way out of the paralysis, but there was no way to escape. Many thoughts ran through her mind as darkness clawed at her vision...all she knew was that she could not, would not give into whatever thing was eating away at her mind.
But even she wasn't strong enough to confront the evil or good of the soul that had been in Lilith, and the last image she saw before the darkness took her was Lilith standing and Mical rushing towards her...

Lilith crashed into Mical and blocked him from helping Hayley. {You will not help her. She is ours to take} The beast growled. Mical looked into Lilith's eyes as they suddenly changed with a flash.
"Mical... God! I'm sorry. Kill me and help Hayley before he can rip us from this body and kill her to." Lilith pleaded. She didn't know what it was, but just then she leaned down and kissed him, tears falling frantically from her eyes. There was a flash of blue light and then all was still as she scrambled off from him and ran. Hayley got up feeling woozy but okay. Mical had quelled the beast within her. At least for the time being.

Hayley noticed Mical's dumbfounded look, but assumed that he'd tell her if it was important. He helped her stand and steady herself. "Whoa...I am gonna have a major headache from that one..."
"Don't make too many sudden movements, it won't help your headache." Mical suggested.
"I know that. Where did Lilith go?" She asked, suddenly serious.
"She ran off but-"
"I'm going to follow her...and end this." She said, her hand going to her lightsaber.
Mical gripped her arm. "No! You can't. It's not her fault, there is a...being, I believe, inside her. If we can free her from that then-"
"Mical...she's too dangerous. I'm sorry." Hayley offered.
"Please, I'm not asking you this as a Master...I'm asking you this as a friend. She is a friend of mine...and if I can help her than I will." Mical explained.
Hayley couldn't argue with that. "Alright. But you have one chance, Mical. But first...I'm heading to the cantina to get a drink."
"That won't help your head-"
"I don't care. I just want to get drunk for once..." hayley murmured mainly to herself as she headed off towards the cantina. "Feel free to join me."
Mical, of course, followed...if not just to keep an eye on her...

Lilith headed out into the streets of Nar Shaddaa, shivering and shaking. What was going on? What had he done to her. For now, her tired old soul felt at peace within itself. She stumbled and fell, trying to find a back alley anywhere.

He found Hayley sat with Mical, both seemed down. What he had to say would not cheer her up.
"Hayley, Mical." he said They both turned, and for the first time he saw tears in Hayley's eyes. She jumped up and hugged im, and he hugged back, glad to be there to aid his friend.
"Master Windu, im so glad to see you!"
"And i you Hayley, and i you." Windu let go of Hayley and shook Mical's hand. "Good to see you again my friend." Mical nodded in response.
"Hayley, im afraid there is something i must tell you. On Coruscant, the other masters and i have felt a very strong, and i mean very strong, disturbance in the force. We traced it to a women called Lilith. She has been possessed by the pure essence of the darkside. The masters have sent me to nuetralise this threat." Hayley looked at him, Windu decided to explain it clearer.
"Im to either get her back to the Jedi Temple where the masters will try and help her, or, failing that, im to eliminate her."

Hayley looked at him, as if she had known that that was why he'd been sent here. "I know...she has already murdered one of my students. I should have been more careful and alert to the situation. I take full responsibility for it."
"No, it was my fault as well. I will not let you take full blame. I left her alone..." Mical piped in, almost eager to take the blame instead of Hayley.
"Kinan, how exactly do you intend to capture her?" Hayley asked.
"Like I said, I may have to eliminate her...I don't find it pleasent either, but it may be the only way." Windu said.
"I understand." Hayley stood straighter, trying to gain her composure. "Well, feel free to stay here...and all of our facilities are open to you. Including the archives."
Windu nodded. "Are you and Hayley the only Masters here?"
Mical nodded. "Yes. The rest are merely students and disciples. In fact, I'm quite surprised you found us at all."
"Master Darrah told me where the hidden Enclave was years ago. The whole idea had been her's...so the council gave her control over it. I would have came with her...except-"
"You can't stay in one place for too long or you start getting antsy?" Hayley laughed, which Mical hadn't heard in a long while.
Kinan smiled. "Always the protagonist, I see."
"Well, I should get back to training the disciples. I shall see you later, Master Windu." She bowed and took her leave. Leaving Master Windu and Mical in the Enclave's main room.

Windu frowned as Hayley walked off. This incident had changed her, she was no longer continuously bubbly, she now seemed brooding slightly. He thought it best not to tell her everything, not just yet. To lay the most important thing on her would only hurt her more. He returned his attention to Mical.
"I am going to the room where she absorbed the knowledge from the Holocrons. That may give me some clue as to the girl's whereabouts. Mical, keep an eye on Hayley, fear this may have had a bigger impact on her than we realise." And with that he walked of, robes flowing behind him...

"Let the Force flow through you...do not try to control it. Become one with the Force and it will control your movements." Hayley said, watching the young disciples move their training lightsaber in synch with the blast shots being fired from the small floating remotes.
It was a welcome relief to train the young disciples, as they were always eager for new knowledge...and quite fun to watch. They were all highly intelligent, which was why the Council had sent them here. It was almost a safe haven for those who were extremely strong in the Force.
Here they would be trained in a tough but safe environment, sheilded from the politics and danger of the real galaxy. She smiled as she watched them, they took her mind off other things...such as the war and whatnot.
Mical walked in behind her, certain to make sure his presense didn't disturb anyone. He was starting to believe what Master Windu had said about everything having a traumatic effect on Hayley...and it worried him considerably.

Windu knelt in the Holocron room, and allowed the force to flow through him. It revealed everything that had happened in the room, past students, events, and then he came to the most recent event with Lilith. He focused on it.
A few minutes last he ran from the room to the training room where he found Hayley and Mical training the disciples. Mical turned to him, and saw that Windu was very shaken...
