Pairing: Sidious/Maul
Warning: Slash, angst
Author's Note: The first slash-fic I ever read was about this pairing. I read it years ago, but it wasn't until now 'til I wrote one myself. From Sidious's point of view.

Summary: When Maul was lost, someone mourned..

In Mourning

First, there was his screams.

Then, there was nothing.

My apprentice was gone.

"Senator Palpatine?"

I was hardly able to look up and face the one who had spoken, my vision blurred with pain.

"What... are you crying?"

Oh, and with tears too.

And they say that the ones of darkness never cry...

"I'm fine. Just leave me be."

"But.."

"GO!"

In under a minute, I was alone with my grief once again.

Alone in darkness that suddenly wasn't too appealing at all.

He..

He was gone.

My apprentice.

My shadow.

My love.

He died screaming my name.
