his_sarah_jane Write two letters to two different people. In one, threaten. In the other, apologize.
Colonel Jacen Solo,
I’m afraid that we’ve never had the pleasure of meeting. We do, however, have a couple of mutual acquaintances in common. Specifically, I am referring to Chume’da Allana Djo. I know that you hold a very special place in her heart. Likewise, the girl holds a very special place in mine. While we come from vastly different worlds, she opened my eyes to the joys of having a daughter before my own was born. Now, she’s quickly filled the role of an older sister to Valerie. She’s very much become a part of my family.
Which leads me to the following. In a recent conversation with a relative of yours, I have discovered that you are not the angel or the saint that Allana believes you to be. While I can never tell her that, I can tell you that I would never let you dare to harm her. Despite the conflicts surrounding her galaxy, she has a good home on Hapes with her mother. And she possesses an equally good home in Milliways with me. As far as I am concerned, her life will always remain as such.
You may not find me such a threat, Colonel, but I assure you that I am. In my life, I have faced my own sets of dangers. I am no stranger to death or loss, or even killing to defend those that I love. There are a limited few that I would sacrifice anything for: Allana falls in to that category as one of my daughters.
So, I request with all upmost politeness that you leave the girl alone. Do not even consider bringing her into the disgrace and evilness in which you dwell. If you dare, I will be forced to take action.
Sincerely,
Sarah Jane Smith-Bond
DearLuke Ashley,
I do hope that this letter gets to you. From this point on, I want you to have nothing to do with me. I’m not your mum,Lu Ashley. I never was. People like me… we’re not meant to have families, you see. My life is too full of danger. I don’t know what I was thinking allowing you and Maria and Clyde in. But it was wrong. It wasn’t meant to be. And for that, for all the pain and confusion that I caused you, I need to apologise. Everything I said to you this afternoon – it wasn’t enough. After what the Bane did to you, you deserve much more, my boy.
I’d imagine that you’re all settled in now in yournew old home, getting to know your parents and the world that was taken from you. Mr Smith ran a background search for me after I got home from the police department. They’re wonderful people. You’re lucky to have them. I’m certain that you know this by now.
I should have checked. Oh, I should have searched harder, Luke. But maybe I was so desperate not to be alone any more. I haven’t had a family since my aunt died. And even before then, it was scarce. You turned my life around. You allowed me to feel something that I thought that I never would experience. Even though it hurts now, I’m thankful. I’m so very thankful, Luke. Even if it was only for a brief time, you gave me a family again. It was lovely, so very lovely.
But it never should have been. You’ll have a wonderful life with these people, Ashely. And in time, you’ll forget me and return to being the boy you were before the Bane interfered. This is all as it should be. Don’t ever think otherwise.
Love
Sincerely,
Sarah Jane Smith
