Hey this is my first fic ever I'm really excited to actually print some of my short stories that I've written like this one I hope you enjoy.
It was a cool night on Tatooine; the stars were shining brightly as always. The wind swept sands were a deep blue at night making Tatooine look even more graceful in the eyes of a moisture farmer. The moisture farmer's name was Tyler and his wife's name was Page, he and his wife were about in there thirties. Tyler was just admiring the way that Tatooine didn't look like a barren wasteland at night. He heard the distant noise of a Bantha's call Tyler wasn't worried because there was always a Bantha herd that came around his property to dig for water that drained out of the storage tanks when the Moisture Vaporators got too full. Tyler always emptied the tanks and sold the water, but the water level in each tank varies from time to time.
Tyler walked back to the house but not before going to the tech dome to turn on the perimeter sensors. Even if it was just a wild herd of Bantha's he didn't want to take any chances that there might be Tusken's around those herds of wild Bantha's trying to herd them to their camp wherever the hell it was. Once he got the perimeter sensors online he went back into the house to see how Page was doing with their newborn son Jon. Page was sitting in a chair feeding Jon a bottle. She looked up and saw Tyler and smiled.
"I think it's about time we went to bed. What do you think Page?"
"Sounds good to me, I'll put Jon in his crib first he's starting to get sleepy."
"No Signs of Tuskens tonight so I won't be up late, just that Bantha herd that keeps coming every night, I still put up the Perimeter Sensors just incase something goes wrong. Wouldn't want you or Jon getting hurt I love you too much. Can never be careless out here, bad things happen if you are. Well like I said I'm going to bed, come when you're ready."
"I will goodnight." Page said. Once she put Jon in the crib she turned on the baby monitor that would notify her if Jon needed anything. After she got that taken care of she got dressed in her slip and crawled into the bed with Tyler. Soon the house was silent. Except for the faint sound of the Bantha's call.
Outside a few Bantha's came up to the perimeter sensors but did not go past it. But there was something strange about these Bantha's six dark figures quickly but silently slipped off of their mounts. They placed a few silver cylinder objects next to the sensors. One of the black figures pulled out a device that activated the cylinder objects. The objects sent out a disruptive signal that overloaded the sensors that they were placed next to. The sensor grid in that area was down. The black figures made their move. They ran across the perimeter and to the Vaporators. They were quick at what they were trying to accomplish. They barely made a scuffling noise as they ran over the sand. The black figures opened one of the hatch covers next to a Vaporator and climbed down the ladder still not making any noise. It grabbed two of the water containers and quickly ascended. Then one of them grabbed the water containers and sprinted back towards the Bantha's.
But their job wasn't done at this point they headed towards the Tech Dome and stole blasters and parts. They gave the blasters and parts to one of the other members in the group. that member sprinted back to the Bantha's but stopped half way there because the one who carried the water containers to the Bantha's met up with the one who was carrying supplies. The member gave everything to him then ran back to assist the others in the tech dome. The black figures in the Tech Dome went inside the house and checked rooms to see if there was anything of value to them.
One of them stumbled on the baby and quickly wrapped it in a towel and carried it back to the Bantha. But before he could the baby monitor noticed the baby was out of the crib and sounded an alarm that woke both Page and Tyler. Tyler smelled Tuskens; he grabbed a blaster pistol from the nightstand and ran into the hallway to see that there was a Tusken running out the door, probably startled by the monitor. Tyler fired and the Tusken collapsed. Page went to check on Jon but he was gone. The Tuskens had taken him. Tyler checked the Tusken that he killed to see if it was carrying anything but it wasn't.
"Dammit! Page I got one of them but it wasn't carrying Jon." He said.
"Didn't you set the Perimeter sensors?"
"Yes I did I set them right before I came- oh no!" Tyler ran to the Tech Dome and saw that the grid was malfunctioning because of some outside disturbance.
"Those bastards, they tampered with the sensors, and stole my son!" Page came in the Tech Dome and wrapped her arms around Tyler hoping that some day Jon would return...
