Disclaimer: I do NOT own Star Wars! Everything except for my OC belongs to George Lucas.

So I'm rewriting this, hopefully this won't be AS confusing.

P.S. I'm sorry for all the typing/grammatical errors! I was writing this on Google docs and then just cutting and pasting, and it don't have the best Spelling and Grammar checker, versus Word.

Darth Maul knew that he got too much pleasure from watching the female work on the spacecraft before her. But what male species could not look at the attractive woman working on the ship? She wore a jump suit, but the top half was tied loosely around her waist, revealing just a tube top and letting all men roam their eyes over her body; but as she flexed her arm for the wrench, he knew why she wore little to no clothing. She was very well built, and knew that she could probably hold her own long enough to run away from a male, a normal male, at least.

"Hey, Raven," the owner of the repair shop yelled, Raven paid him no mind as she finished working on the engine and waved to the elderly man behind the wheel.

"Try again, Mistah," she called out, still ignoring her disgruntled boss.

"Raven," yelled the owner once more.

"Listen, old man, I ain't deaf," she scowled, her annoyance rolled off of her in waves, "give me a minute, or go bugger someone else!"

Her accent was thick; Darth Maul could tell that she didn't speak English very well – which only made him more curious about the female before him. The owner scowled at her, but suddenly the spacecraft she was working on came to life and the man behind the wheel gave a thumps up as he flew his craft out of the shop. Darth Maul watched her wipe her hands on an already dirty rag as she eyed him, and then turned to the owner. Her brown eyes narrowed at him because of his rudeness to her in front of her previous customer.

"Yes," she asked with so much disdain that it surprised Maul himself.

The manager thrust the chart of Maul's ship into her chest as he said, "Dock four, if it wasn't for your skill I would have you fired for that mouth of yours."

"I'm sure you would loose half your customers," she gritted out, as she started past him.

Not wanting to be bested, the manager said, "Yeah, they wouldn't have a piece of ass like yours to look at."

With that he smacked her ass and Maul couldn't help but chuckle, but his humor was quickly gone as he felt the Force pull around her. She was filled with so much anger and frustration that he watched a wrench fly to her hand and she looked ready to throw it with the Force. Instead, she titled her head back revealing her tanned neck to him and he probed her mind to hear her counting. She then looked back at Maul and threw the wrench back with the force and waved for him to follow her. He followed, his Master was right; she was very strong with the Force.

She was untrained though, so she could merely manipulate inanimate objects, an amateur trick that she didn't use often, just in her anger.

"Okay, Mr.…Malcolm," she said reading off his name, not looking up as she made it to his ship, "says here…simple engine bust?"

Nodding mutely, she waved for him to open his hatch to enter the ship. Unlike a simple race or pod the engine was located inside; which would leave her completely at his mercy the moment he shut the hatch. This mission was too easy!

Once the hatch was down, he made to follow, but she put a hand up to stop him.

"Sorry, sir, but policy is with something this size, when I'm working on it, you must stand behind that yellow line," he opened his mouth to protest, but instead scowled and stood. So maybe the mission wouldn't be as easy as he thought, he couldn't send a Forced suggestion to let him on, she was too strong with it! More than likely she would pick up on what he was, if she had any knowledge of what a Jedi or Sith was!

She disappeared into the ship, and he waited impatiently for her to be finished. When she returned, she wore a confused expression as she looked at a holo-pad, he could tell from here that she was looking at his engine.

"Do you have anyone coming after you, Mr. Malcolm," she asked.

"No," Maul said, trying to keep his voice as normal as possible, but the feral deep growl didn't go unnoticed by her, "why?"

"Your engine isn't starting because you're missing a fuse," Raven explained, showing him a hologram of his engine, "that one right there. And it's odd…usually when any fuse is missing; there's burnt marks around it, or grease, to indicate it was jostled due to some kind of impact. But yours-" she clicked a button to show his engine in perfect color, "see nothing, shows that maybe someone just…pulled it out."

"Can you fix it," Maul said, hoping his nonchalance would make her forget about the whole 'assassination attempt' she somehow created in her head.

He could feel the duel in her mind, but in the end, she decided it wasn't her job to worry, "Okay, what's your engine's make/model?"

"I made it myself," Maul stated, he saw her shoulders drop, "what?"

"Fuses are made specifically to pair with certain engines, that's how they rob you of their money," she explained as she made her way over to a box, "so I have to try a bunch until I find the one that will work…instead of me just grabbing the part! It's gonna take me probably…about an hour? And we close in fifteen, could-"

"Is there anyway you could stay later," he asked as she untied her work suite and pulled the sleeves properly on and zipped up the jumper in the front, I must start leaving again, today."

Raven chewed her bottom lip and said, "you drive a hard bargain Mr. Malcolm, but let me call my brother and I'll meet you here in an hour."

Darth maul left, fingering the fuse he had taken out of his own engine as she set to work. He wasn't too sure what to do on the God forsaken planet of Alderaan. There was much to do, but not much for a Sith apprentice to do. Then again, Darth Maul wasn't too sure what he would do if his Master didn't give him missions or a gym to train in. And now that he had time to waste on his own, he wasn't too sure what to do.

The target had been in his Master's dreams for a while, and that's why Darth Maul was sent to capture the annoyance. But as Maul had interacted with her, and seen how easily the Force flowed through her – even as untrained as her – he wondered if his Master knew about this. What if Darth Sidious planed on killing him, and replacing him with the girl? This angered the Sith apprentice and he didn't even realize that his hand had moved to his saber until his fingers had caressed the double bladed weapon. He trembled to repress his anger as he stormed down the streets of the city.

He ended up walking the barren shores of the beach that overlooked the city that his target resided. Sighing, the apprentice found himself meditating for a while too, but other than that the apprentice was bored out of his mind! His target was so close, but he had to wait for her workshop to be abandoned! His Master wanted her taken as discretely as possible.

'Maul, why aren't you answering?' The voice of his Master shook him out of his thoughts, and then the realization dawned on him. His Master was calling him from the ship, what if she answered?

The Zabrak raced faster than he thought himself possible of back to the mechanics shop, where he found her scrambling down the ramp. His target took one look at him, gave a whimsy Force push and then ran for it. If she got out and yelled this, his mission would've been a failure, and failure was never an option.

Running, when he was close enough, he jumped over her head. She turned to see where the Sith was and so ran into him. Before she fell to the ground, eh grabbed her arm and spun her around and covered her mouth to stop the yell that wanted to escape her lips. Her muffled yell was all that was heard as he led her back to the ramp. She pathetically thrashed in his hold all the way to his prison cell where he threw her in and then locked the door.

She spun around and slammed her fists against the force field pathetically, Raven's glare was angry and the Sith couldn't stop himself from revealing the fuse in his hand from his robe. He twirled the fuse with the Force as a smug grin crossed his face. But that meant he wasn't paying attention, and in a final act of defiance, she gave a Force push to his gut; which made him stumble back slightly.

Using the Force he started to crush her pathetic windpipe when his Master's voice over the communications ink caught him off guard, "MAUL YOU'RE NOT TO KILL HER!"

Maul scowled and dropped the female, she ell and held her throat as she coughed to breath, and then heard his Master's voice say, "that's for me to do."

"Master," Darth Maul acknowledged with a bow, "I should return by tonight."

"Excellent," Sidious praised, "may the Force be with you."

Maul gave one ore look to the raven haired female on the floor of the prison cell, before returning the fuse to it's proper place. He closed the hatch with a thought and then powered up his ship to return to Curoscant.

Okay, so what did you guys think? Please review, in the next chapter a lot more will be revealed – this was just kind of an intro chapter.
