So, this was thrown together really quickly. It's based off of a headcanon I got sent on my roleplay tumblr account. Prologue is short, but I've got more up my sleeve. This is going to be roughly four chapters long. The tentative word count being ~7-10k words, but that might change as I work around with the words some more.
Anyway, I'm Macie, and this is "Of Lies and Deception", and it's my first angst-y piece(:
She puts her head in her hands, her entire body is trembling. She's been so foolish, so ridiculous and she's really acually quiet ashamed with herself. Of course she has to be the one who makes the biggest mistake she could have possibly ever accomplished, the biggest regret of her life, and then it comes back to bite her right in the face.
Oh, how ashamed she is of herself.
Of course.. no one has to know of her little slip up, right?
She could just go on as if nothing happened, as if everything was normal and she never was the idiotic woman back on Dantooine.
It's just that simple, she just doesn't have to mention anything.
She adjusts her stance, standing up from her position on the floor. She takes a large gulp of water and spits it right back out into the sink, hoping to get the wretched taste out of her mouth. Luke would be ecstatic to be a father. Sure, he's never actually come up to her and told her such words, but she can see it in his eyes. After all, she loves him and they have that bond..
The bond. Crap. That could foil her entire plan of this deception. But then again, she has no choice in the matter, she can't hurt Luke by telling him about what she did and the outcome of the forsaken event what seems so long ago.
She wraps her arms around her torso, her head pounding and tears are forming in the back of her eyes. She's sure gotten herself into a pickle. But, she's Mara Jade Skywalker and she knows how to get out of them. She's done it more often than she could even remember.
