Dark Eyes, Dark Side

Tiji stumbled through the doors of the cantina, her eyes hollow and black, her breathing labored and face tear streaked.

Her knees hit the floor, but she didn't feel it as the war in her heart raged madly and energy crackled around her.

She trembled, her cloak falling around her beaten and scraped frame, her lightsaber, blasters, and armor nowhere to be seen. Her tunic had several long gashes and what looked like lightsaber cuts echoing form underneath them, but were soon hidden as the girl curled into a ball, forehead touching the cool floor.

Sobs shook her, but nothing but her struggling gasps for air truly escaped her as she battled her own dark intentions.

"Tiji," her father came into the room behind her, panicked and angry as he beant by her. "Tiji, look at me!"

Her head raised, the veins in her face dark and her eyes glowing with emptiness.

"Get... away," she spat, voice echoing as she force shoved him clear across the room. He hit the wall with a thud.
