Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters you recognize. Star Wars belongs to George Lucas. I do not intend to make any money out of this or any other fanfic I may eventually write
This is my first fic, and as English is not my first language, please forgive any mistake I may commit and help me please by reviewing! I'll be very glad for any help or comment! Read and Review! Please!!!
The title Clocks is from the Coldplay album, but this is not exactly a song fic, I decided for this title because the song inspirited me writing it.

Chapter One: Long Forgotten Memories?
"REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER -- HALLWAY
Princess Leia is led down a low-ceilinged hallway by a squad of armored stormtroopers. Her hands are bound and she is brutally shoved when she is unable to keep up with the briskly marching troops. They stop in a smoky hallway as Darth Vader emerges from the shadows. The sinister Dark Lord stares hard at the frail young senator, but she doesn't move.
LEIA: Lord Vader, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit for this, when they hear you've attacked a diplomatic...
VADER: Don't play games with me, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
LEIA: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan...
VADER: You're a part of the Rebel Alliance...and a traitor. Take her away!
Leia is marched away down the hallway and into the smoldering hole blasted in the side of the ship."
Lord Vader, as he watched Princess Leia be taken away, couldn't help but notice how much she reminded him of someone. Someone long forgotten to the Dark Lord of the Sith, but he knew it better, this princess who just a second ago was in from of him was the haunting image of the woman he, for many years now, had tried to forget. A woman who once was the one reason of his life, a person who had been there deep inside his very soul... He had always lied to himself saying she was a part of a past he had long ago forgotten... A past which didn't want to be forgotten, for every single night it would come back to haunt him in his dreams, reminding him of the man he had been.
He had always dismissed it as something non important, after all they were just memories of a past which didn't matter to him anymore, weren't they?
But this Princess, where was she form? Alderaan... this planet also brought a lot of memories back, most of them being the Dark Lord of the Sith he shouldn't even remember, but the title didn't erase the memories it just hid them under thick layers of anger, resentment, hate... regrets... Yes, he indeed had regrets, he never dared voice them to his master, but Vader always had the impression that his Master wouldn't mind regrets since it was focused to the dark side... and that was what he had been doing for all these years... but now he was feeling powerless cause he wasn't able to control his feelings.
Knowing he wouldn't be able to be himself , he went to his chamber to meditate and so be able again to control his feelings as he usually did, but this time he wasn't so sure.
In his Mediate Chamber, as he let down his mental barriers to be in touch with the Force, he felt what he hadn't felt for a long time, a sorrow so deep he thought he wouldn't be able to survive this meeting with the force, and altogether the memories, he had tried so hard to forget, rushed in his mind as they were not memories but as they were facts happening again in front of his eyes, it was like he was reliving his past again...
Then as he tried to focus again so he would be able to be the one in control, he remembered that Princess who was part of the Rebel Alliance, the Senator from Alderaan, the one who started his blast of uncontrolled feelings.... just because of her resemblance to...
Should I go on, or should I try another plot?
Thanks for reading!
Please
R&R!!!
CLOCKS
(Coldplay)
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that cant be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
You are
You are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing
Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing
You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
