Atalanta's POV
It was the ball to celebrate the 500th year of my family's ruling. I was on my Grandma's lap and gave her a quick kiss later before joining my sisters. Ella and Clata, we all had been part cat from my mothers side, we all had blue hair and tan skin along with tan tails, brown eyes, and tan cat ears. Our eyes were those of a cat's and we were playing impressions. Our dresses were like Cinderella's but no puffy sleeves. We were pretending to be snooty.
"I said WINE, not water! Get this peasant away from my sight!" Ella my oldest sister said in her red sparkly dress.
My little sister Clata copied her, but being two she babbled, " I sid WIN, no watser! Git dit peesant away fro me sit!" she said in her pink dress. I laughed, I had a dark blue dress, my mom looked over and smiled.
We heard a clink, it was from our dad the king it was time for the toast. But all of a sudden the snow fall outside turned into a blizzard, the skies darkened along with the ballroom. The people who were talking, laughing, and dancing looked terrified.
The doors burst opened, and yellow robots came marching in one by one. I felt Ella grab my hand and she hissed "Run! Go to the secret rooms with Clata and hide!" she said, I turned around and grabbed my sister's hand and ran towards the library. I took a book and tipped it back where a door slipped open, and ran inside dragging my sister along and closed it behind her. We ran down the corrider and went to a fork in the path.
A yellow circle was at my feet, and I ran to the left still holding my sister's hand. If you were not a real Cantana (her species) it would be blue, to make sure no one can follow it it was only at your feet only if it disapeared you were on the wrong path or you were at the base where all passages met.
When I got there Ella was standing in the middle, she smiled a gratful smile and took out a stone in the wall that I never noticed before she beckoned Clata and she came over. She let Clata through the hole and picked me up and stuffed me in too. We were in another passage way, Ella's face appeared through the hole, I never seen her so scared before. "Listen, follow the passage way and head off to the village. You are regular commoners you don't know how to act like royalty! Dad never told us this but we're in a war, the man who came is our enemy don't listen to what he says he's a liar! He'll try to kill you!" she said rapidly.
"What about you?" I said, "I'm not going, now leave now they're coming! It was true we heard footsteps coming and to be quiet we took off our shoes and listened after she stuffed the stone backed where it belonged, and we heard a terrifying voice through the wall.
"What are you doing princess? You are not suppose to be here." the cruel man's voice said. I shivered and my sister's proud voice said, "Go away! I'll never join the Sith! You, you monster!" she yelled. "Too bad princess." he said and I heard a shot and my sister's scream of pain.
"Go find the other girls! Now!" he said one of the robots said "Yes Darth Sideous sir." followed by a lot of "Roger, roger." and we heard the feet walk off, thenafter a short while Darth Sideous did too. We waiteda minute or two and left ourselves. We ran through the corrider and came to a door, we opened it and were blinded by snow. We got out and found out we were in the woods nearby the village. But it was being raded and we headed east but not after we snatched food, and blankets deep into the woods.
I woke up at the memory. My little sister who is twelve now making me seventeen woke up too. "Are you okay Atalanta?" she asked used to my new name, yeah I'm fine Rachel." I said to her new self.
Our blue hair a purple, hers was plain purple in a nice braid, mine had red highlights and was in a warrior's ponytail held up high although my bangs hang loose chinese like in my face. We turned our skin white, yet kept out blue eyes, tail, and ears since our species were common and to not let go of our roots. We were in a tent and slept in soilder's position, one facing north and the other south. That way if we were attacked we were in a good position that and we have out weapons in front of us.
We each had swords able to withstand lightsabers, mine was a regular and Rachel's was a twin. We also had another weapon, Rachel has a blaster that she found from a dead clone along with other dead clone's bullets to train more efficiently, while I had a bow and arrow.
We were travelers and bounty hunters, we were not that big as to not draw attention, and the killing were great practice. We also gather info about our primary target, Darth Sideous, a.k.a. Palpatine. He was a wimp to never leave his office, but now we always know where he is. We were sent a message to meet a customer today at an alley on a street called Alley's way. It was nearby a bar owned by the Hutts called Nightmare's Dream and we would meet at excactly twenty-one hundred. It was just a regular day.
At 2100 hours nearby Nightmare's Dream ...
The dark alley was alone except for us, Rachel was in dark red tight suit unexposed, the only place exposed was her arms but only from her elbow down. But then it was covered with black laced gloves that didn't cover her fingers and stretched to her elbows where the sleeve was cut off, and black boots that had flat bottoms. A utility belt filled with bullets hung around her waist.
I was wearing black clothing, it was a tight black suit with the top part a bit exposed. I also had leather gloves up to my elbow but the fingers were different from my sister's, it was held together by a strip of fabric in between my my middle finger and my ring finger and a little diamond on each glove at the top part nearby my elbows. My bellybutton exposed and leather pants shiny with black high heels, and a holder on my waist where my samurai sword hanged. On my back was my bow along with a small sack filled with tons of arrows.
A drunk sleezy man was heading towards us with a grin and I took action. I took my bow and a arrow and pointed it at him and he backed away, another person touched my elbow and I turned around still holding my bow and arrow. It was the client and I put away my weapon and he breathed a sigh of relief," We want you to kill a certain bounty hunter that gave us trouble in the past." he said, "His name is Cad Bane, a worker for the Seperatists. He is here on this planet and we heard you and your sister were really good." he said.
I scoffed, "What's the pay and where is it?" I said losing patience. He showed me the bag filled with credits and I tossed it to my sister who counted it quickly and said "2,000 credits each." she said. I turned to him satisfied and asked "Where's the place?"
