The Rebel Faction

[FONT=Palatino Linotype]Everything was fine until the question of dinner came up. This was something Cierra did not expect and had not been prepared for.

Cierra hesitated. “Y-Yes, dinner… would be fine Mister… I mean Rob. Dinner would be fine Rob.” She then turned to head back to the yacht. “I have some business to take care of, I will see you this evening Rob.”

Cierra quickly walked back up the ramp, closing the hatch behind her. “What is it My Sister?” Aliya asked as she saw the confusion on Cierra’s face. “It’s Stellar, he asked me to go to dinner. He did so very calmly like he had had dinner with me, I mean the real Cierra before. Were they?”

“Ishara never indicated anything and I never spoke to Kyra about it.”

“This transaction must be completed without any issues. What do you recommend Aliya?”

Aliya thought for a moment. “Maybe you should show more relaxation. Maybe act as if something did happen.”

“Perhaps.”

Cierra then walked toward her quarters.



That Evening…


As Rob waited, the hatch opened and Cierra emerged. The look on Rob’s face was as surprising as how Cierra looked.

Cierra had straightened her hair which was as black as night. She wore a black silk evening gown which came down just below her knees where you could see the black fishnet stocking just above her black leather boots.

“Are you ready Rob?”

[FONT=Palatino Linotype]Cierra smiled, “I am ready Rob.”

She followed Rob who led her to the transportation that would take them to a local restaurant. The trip there was enjoyable and Cierra did manage to have a better comfort level with Stellar.

As they arrived, Stellar politely took Cierra’s arm and led her into the establishment. It was a rather nice setting and the two had a table together in the far corner of the dining room.

“Thank you for dinner Rob; this is a very nice place you chose this evening.”

As they drank wine and waited for the main course to arrive, Cierra could not help but hear a couple across the room having a small argument which made her drift from what Rob was saying. She managed to control her own anger over what was going on until the man got a bit louder and grabbed the woman’s hand.

It was enough to trigger Cierra’s own response to the situation…

Cierra focused as her face grew dark as her eyes winced and she called upon the power of fire creation. In an instant, the man’s tie ignited into flames causing him to scream in pain as he tried to douse the flames. Cierra’s laughter filled the room for a moment as she watched the man run from the dining room badly burnt.

She then returned to the conversation Rob was having…

“I’m so sorry Rob, what were you saying?”[/FONT]

[FONT=Palatino Linotype]As Rob had leaned in and whispered, Cierra grabbed him with her hand by his collar and pulled him in. She pressed her lips against his and passionately kissed him. She did not release her grip on his collar and could feel she had tore one of the buttons off as she continued to deeply kiss Rob, feeling the sense of lust which overcame her like a storm suddenly rushing up out of nowhere.

She released her grip on him as she smirked…

“I can assure you, I am no Jedi.”

It was not important for Rob to know she could manipulate the force. In fact, she had hoped she could simply get his mind off the event.

“I have no idea what happened, but by the look of things, I’d say he deserved it anyway.”

Cierra took a sip from her glass as the main courses arrived. It was a very good meal and the subject of the conversation seemed to have successfully moved on.

“This has been a great meal Rob. What do you suggest we do next?”[/FONT]

[FONT=Palatino Linotype]Rob’s attention did seem to get distracted and the idea of seeing the observation deck seemed like a great idea. Especially since Cierra could get an excellent view of the surrounding area.

“That sound great Rob, let’s go. Please, lead the way.” Cierra said as she outstretched her hand for him to take the lead.

As they arrived at the observation deck, the view was beautiful. With the night sky above, the garden was serene and gave Cierra a sense of being home. A Nightsister, such as herself, always felt a sense of being one with nature. She walked about the garden and gracefully touched the leaves of the plants which hung over the walkway.

Stepping outside, Cierra looked far out onto the surrounding area. She could see the city border and the distant lights of sparse settlements far into the distance.

Cierra smiled. “It’s amazing Rob.”

Cierra then looked up into the stars. “So many stars in the night sky; so many worlds all waiting to be conqu… explored.”

Cierra briefly looked at Rob and then back up into the sky. “So beautiful.”[/FONT]
