Star Destroyer Exactor:

Vader looked at Padme and Jobal as they walked out of the Hanger Bay and spoke, "For today, I will simply show you your routine and make sure that you're familiar with everything."

Jobal smiled, "That sounds good, Thank you so much for helping us Lord Vader."

Vader smiled at the two women in response as he spoke, "He got what he deserved. He lost half of his wealth."

"That is all that he cares about, All he cares about is money. For all I care, it can burn," stated Padme hatefully."

Vader nodded, "I agree with you on that."

Vader then led Padme and Jobal towards his Office, "This room Is where we met last night."

Padme and Jobal nodded as Vader continued, "This is where You will Be Mrs Naberrie."

Jobal nodded, "Call me Miss Thule for now on. That was my Maiden name."

Vader nodded, "So this will be your spot, You may familiarize yourself with the desk."

Vader then motioned for Padme to follow him into the room behind her Mother's desk.

Padme was shocked to see the room. Vader immediately spoke, "This is my private Office, No one is allowed in here besides you and your Mother. Always ring the bell or have your Mother give me a reason for you to enter."

Padme nodded as Vader pointed to a Holocom, "That is my private Holocom, It is wired to the front desk so that your Mother can inform me if the Emperor or anyone contacts me. At some points, I may have you making the calls for me if I am occupied."

"Understood," replied Padme.

Vader then motioned for her to follow him as they left to Office.

Padme followed the Dark Lord towards a nearby Elevator and within moments, Padme found herself on the Command Bridge of the Exactor.

She looked around the Command Bridge in shock. Vader at the same time motioned for her to stand at his side as he approached a man that appeared to be in his mid twenties.

"Captain Ozzel."

"Yes My Lord?"

Vader immediately made a gesture towards Padme, "This is Padme. she is my new Personal Assistant. You will be looking to her as you do to me whenever I send her to you with Orders."

"Understood My Lord."

At the same time, Vader turned and faced Colonel Veers, who walked up to his side.

He smiled and spoke, "This is my new Assistant Colonel. Remember to respect her."

"Of course my Lord."

Vader then turned and, motioned for Padme to follow him. "There will be times that I will send you here to issue my Orders whenever I am occupied. Understood?"

Padme nodded in silence.

As Padme followed Vader off of the Bridge, Captain Ozzel looked at Veers with a frown, "This is wrong."

Veers frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, That girl can't be more than fifteen or sixteen. Do you think that she will last any longer than the last assistant of his did?"

Veers shrugged, "We will have to wait and see. The last one, He crossed the line by communicating with the Media. We will have to wait and see how this girl does, If she is smart than maybe she will surprise us and actually manage to stay alive."

Ozzel was silent in response.

After an hour of touring the massive ship, Padme knew everything from her way to Engineering to the way to Vader's personal training room as well as the codes.

Finally, The tour came to an end right outside of Vader's quarters.

Vader immediately spoke, "You will be the only one that will have access to my quarters and you will only enter if there is a very good reason to do so."

"I understand my Lord," replied Padme.

Vader then led Padme towards his room. He pressed in the security code and, Within moments the doors opened.

Vader then looked at Padme as she followed him into the room, "I don't tend to sleep that much. I am usually up at 0600 training in my training room before I shower for the day."

Padme nodded, "What do you do for breakfast?"

"My droid 3PO does that. He keeps the place clean for me."

Padme nodded as she saw a golden plated Protocol Droid come into view.

"Hello Master Vader."

Vader smiled, "Hello 3PO, This is Padme, She is going to be my new Personal Assistant."

"Of course."

3PO then moved towards Padme and spoke, "Hello, I am C-3PO Human Cyborg Relations."

Padme smiled, "Hello 3PO, I am Padme."

"Padme, It is a pleasure to meet you."

Vader smiled, "3PO, Go and make my bed for me."

"Of course Sir."

Vader then turned as Padme spoke, "I will make sure that you aren't disappointed in me."

Vader nodded as he turned on the Holonet. The first thing that he saw on the news was the face of Ruwee Naberrie.

Padme smiled, "It looks like my Dad is the talk of the Galaxy right now."

Vader nodded, "It is complete humiliation."

"At least I don't have to Marry. I want to live my life my way before I find anyone."

Vader nodded and spoke, "I never do plan to marry."

"Never?" asked Padme.

Vader shook his head, "No woman is ever going to want to go that far with me. I am after all, the Most feared Man in the Galaxy," stated Vader as he hung his head in shame.

Padme frowned, If only he knew, she mused in silence.

At the same time, Padme noticed a tiny holoimage that sat on Vader's caf table. It was an image of a woman of around thirty with dark hair and a tiny blond hair and blue eyed boy that stood with her.

Padme spoke, "Who is she?"

Vader frowned, "My Mother."

"Is that you?"

Vader nodded as Padme spoke, Do you see her often?"

Vader shook his head in silence as he thought of the last time that he had seen his Mother.

He had just been nine years old when Moisture Farmer Cliegg Lars had started to fall in love with his Mother, Cliegg was saving money to buy him and his mother free when Jedi Master Qu-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi had arrived on the planet in the middle of a mission.

Vader then won his freedom in a Podrace bet while his Mother was freed by Cliegg who took her as his wife. His mother had asked him to take 3PO so that he would have something from home. Since the day that he had left the planet, He hadn't seen her since and, he wondered why he was having nightmares of her.

Vader then ended his thoughts as he looked at Padme and spoke, "You may go and see if you're still good with that blaster if you want, you will start Work tomorrow."

Padme smiled, "As you wish My Lord."

She then turned and, left Vader alone.

As Vader turned to enter his bedroom, He heard his comlink ring. He answered it and spoke, "Yes?"

"Lord Vader the Emperor demands that you make contact with him immediately," stated Jobal.

Vader nodded, "Thank you Jobal I am on my way."

A short time later, Vader entered his Office and activated his Holocom after pounding in his frequency.

Vader then knelt down as an image of the Emperor appeared before him, "What is thy bidding My Master?"

At that moment, Vader heard a cackling laugh as Palpatine spoke, "Moff Naberrie's face all over the news, is brilliant. What you did to him Lord Vader was certainly amusing. I am amused by the whole thing as the rest of Coruscant is. He has just lost his daughter and half of his income."

Vader nodded, "His wife and daughter will never again be crying for his help either."

Palpatine smiled, "Oh? What did you do to them my Friend?"

"His Ex wife is now my new secretary."

Palpatine laughed, "That should be very interesting. What of his brat?"

"She is wearing an Imperial uniform and, she is my personal assistant. I can't wait to rub it in his face when I have her issue him orders that are from me."

"I will make sure to allow that to happen in the future."

Vader nodded as Palpatine spoke, "I want you to head for Felucia, There is a city that has wiped out it's garrison and they must be punished. Do what you must."

Vader nodded as Palpatine spoke, "You Look tired."

Vader frowned, "I don't sleep much anymore."

"Because of your Mother?"

Vader nodded, "I don't know why I keep dreaming about her."

"Let it go my Friend, She is not of your concern. Just complete the mission."

"As you wish Master," stated Vader with a bow as the transmission ended.

Vader then turned without a word and, headed for the Command Bridge. He did his best to push the thoughts of his mother and his dreams aside as he looked at Captain Ozzel and spoke, "Take us to Felucia immediately."

"As you wish my Lord."

Vader then looked at Colonel Veers and spoke, "Prepare your men for battle. I want them on standby. Have all fighters and bombers on standby. We have been ordered to make an example of a group of Rebels."

"As you wish sir."

Vader then turned and, Left the Command Bridge without a word.

Later that Evening, Padme sat at the small dining table in the quarters that she shared with her mother.

Jobal smiled and spoke, "How was your day?"

"It was pretty easy, He just showed me around the place and told me what to do. He told me that I start work tomorrow."

Jobal smiled, "It was fairly easy for me as well, I did spend quite a bit of time in terms of cleaning up his desk and organizing his reports."

Padme nodded and spoke, "I realize that he is a monster, He even admits it."

"Padme, they all are evil. Vader and Palpatine are Sith Lords."

Padme nodded as she spoke, "We basically made a deal with the Devil to save ourselves from Dad."

"That is correct, I just hate that I dragged you into this. I want you to be very careful around him. If he lays one hand on you, You let me know, Do you understand?"

Padme nodded, "I don't think that he would hurt me. There is still good in him, I can see it just by watching him."

"I know what you mean Padme but, I still want you to be careful."

Padme nodded, "I will be very careful Mom."

Jobal smiled as Padme spoke, "Mom? Why did you leave Dad with me?"

Jobal frowned before speaking, "A mother is supposed to protect her child. That is what I am doing. I can't have you with the Reliaz boy. I know his reputation, You deserve much better. Maybe after you live your life your way without your father in the way, You will find him. I won't choose him for you, I only hope that you find him."

Padme nodded as she hugged her mother before heading into her bedroom.

Naboo:

Ruwee Naberrie sat at his dinner table in rage as he looked at his Daughter Sola and his son in law Darred, "Can you believe that this has happened to me? All because Jobal didn't approve of Palo."

Darred shook his head, "She never listened to you. What I don't get is how she got full custody of Padme."

"It was because of Vader."

"You're telling me that it is because of what happened with Palo's dad and with you and Vader last night that made this happen Dad?" asked Sola.

Ruwee nodded, "There is nothing I can do, I am actually lucky that he didn't kill me because according to Panaka, he was going to until he found out about my custody battle. Now, I can't get her married to Palo as planned."

"We are going to lose a lot of money because of this," stated Darred.

"The day that my Mom dies, She will get half of what is going to be given to me in the will. I was completely screwed over."

Sola then spoke, "What if you had given money to Vader or something?"

Ruwee shook his head, "I have been told that money does nothing to the Man, He won't take bribes. He only takes what he wants and, Money can't buy him."

"When it comes down to it, You are losing more money in the divorce than you are from your deal with Reliaz."

"That is correct, I am estimating that I am going to lose at least a million."

Sola shook her head, "I wish that I could teach Padme a lesson, She has ruined our family and our reputation."

"Your mother is just as much to blame," stated Ruwee.

Sola nodded in silence.

At that moment, A young servant entered the room, "Pardon me Sir, but your mother his here to speak to you."

Ruwee nodded, finding it fairly odd that his Mother would be visiting him. She rarely visited him. Ever since he had been appointed Moff by the Emperor, Tension between the two of them had grown more and more.

Ruwee nodded, "Let her come in."

"She already is here Sir," replied the girl.

Ruwee nodded as he saw his Mother enter the room.

His mother was almost eighty and, She looked fairly good for her age. Ever since his father had died at age ninety, She had spent her days living at Varykino, An estate that he was promised in the family will, since he was the only living heir.

He noticed his Mother glaring at him in disgust.

Winema Naberrie was a woman of virtue, dignity and honor.

She considered herself a good honest woman. She didn't say that she was in an effort to boast either. She knew that she had lived a good life as a good woman and mother. However, There was nothing that disappointed her more than her Son.

She in fact, was embarrassed to say that Moff Ruwee Naberrie was her son.

She didn't even consider him her Son.

Just four days ago, She had received a letter from Jobal that had detailed information about how her Son had beat her several times and had even beaten Padme. It made her sick to hear about how her Son was planning to force Padme to marry a Man who was the scum of the Galaxy and who would never have given her Granddaughter the love that she deserved.

Winema knew one thing, Arranged Marriages were out of date. Her Marriage had been arranged and, She wouldn't have had it any other way. She had been happy with her husband and she missed him terribly.

However, It was time for something new, In her time, The young men had morals and they actually treated women the way that they deserved to be treated.

Now, She only saw rich family's having their daughter's marry abusive husband's like Palo Reliaz. It was something that made her sick. She Had distracted Sola and Darred by sending them tickets to the Speeder races the day before while Jobal and Padme escaped from Ruwee.

Ruwee looked at his Mother and spoke, "What is it Mom?"

"I am ashamed of you. I Can't even look at you and say that you're my son and feel good anymore."

Ruwee glared at his Mom in anger, "What would you have me do? I know that I am divorced but it isn't my fault that half of the will is going to Jobal."

"She isn't getting half of the will," stated Winema in anger.

Winema then spoke, "She is getting everything. She is getting the Estate, She is getting every last Credit that your father and I saved and, You are getting nothing. What you have done to Jobal and to Padme is unacceptable. I don't even know who you are anymore. I am just thankful that your father is dead. At least, he didn't have to live to see you become the pig that you are."

Ruwee gasped in shock at his mother as she continued, "Padme deserves a Man like your Father, A man who will love her and who will give her what she deserves. If I could find that Man, I would happily arrange that marriage. However, I haven't seen any young Man that should be with her in Theed or in the mountains and all that your own daughter is to you is a bargaining chip."

Ruwee glared at his Mother in anger, "I lost a lot of money the moment that I lost custody of her. I was going to get access to the mines that the Reliaz family own."

Winema shook her head as she spoke, "I don't know who you are but you certainly are not my Son. My Ruwee, the wonderful boy that Married my best friend's daughter thirty years ago wouldn't have done such horrible things and he wouldn't have associated with evil men like Panaka. I don't want to know you anymore."

With that, Winema turned and, left her son in anger.

At the same time, Winema looked at her son and spoke, "I hate to think that I gave birth to such a greedy pig. You are not a man you are nothing. You know what you have Son?"

Ruwee was silent as his mother spoke, "You have nothing. You have a wonderful wife that you lost because of money and greed. You have a sixteen year old Daughter that you aren't allowed to see and, you have a mother who has disowned you and took your inheritance away. All you have is money that burns and, Sola who loves your money more than she loves you."

With that, Winema stormed out of the room in rage.

Star Destroyer Exactor:

He could see her right now, She was being beaten by an unseen force as she fell down to the ground in agony.

His Stepfather Cliegg was laying at her side dead near their house.

Right at his Mother's side, Stood his nine year old self who screamed out in horror, "Mom!"

At the same time, He saw the dark figures moving towards him.

With that, Vader opened his eyes in horror.

Who was after his Mother? Why was he seeing himself as a nine year old again?

Was that really him that he was seeing? If it was him? Why was he in the form of his younger self.

If the boy wasn't him? Who was the boy?

Vader knew one thing, After the mission on Felucia, he had to go to his Mother. There was no getting around it, She needed him.

Alright, That is it for now. Thank you to everyone who reviewed Chapter One. Eleven Reviews is pure motivation, I am grateful that all of you have motivated me. I will be taking some time with the next update but I will have it up soon.
