Chapter 4 – Underworld intelligence
"are you ready rose?" I look up from tying the final knot on my outfit to see my mistress standing in the doorway, looking at me with a slightly scared expression that shouldn't be gracing her features.
I smile softly and move gracefully towards her and wrap my arms around her body, resting her head on my shoulder. "I will be fine mistress, nothing I can't handle." I whisper quietly to her as I hold her close, enjoying the feel of her in my arms. "This will be a week at the most; you know how many they can drink." I look up at her and smile as I move slowly towards the exit.
"I will be back before you know it, you will see."
BANG
I spring out of my bed and look for the source of noise. I sigh softly and hold my side as I try to sit back down, I wince slightly as I feel my broken rib move from sitting. I bite my lip and sigh sadly as I think about what has happened. It's been four months
I whimper slightly as I hear someone scream down the hall and the guards begin making grunting noises while encouraging the others in the one act that makes me sick to my stomach and truly scared.
Gang Rape.
I walk silently through the streets of the Coruscant Underworld, gripping the blaster hidden under my cloak as I feel eyes watching me from all around. I release my power slightly and give off an intimidating aura, allowing me to move freely without being stopped. I pause just outside of my target and take a deep breath before changing my aura to a sexual feeling and gracefully walk into the cantina.
As I walk towards the bar owner, I can feel the lust flowing off everyone as I pass. I sigh softly and stop in front of the owner, silently handing him a data pad with a message from my mistress. He looks down and reads it quickly before looking back at me expectantly; I open my cloak to show him my outfit, allowing him to inspect it before wrapping myself back up, taking the data pad and moving into a room he directed me into.
I shake my head softly and remove my cloak completely; exposing the outfit I decided to wear. I picked out something I remember seeing when I was doing research on the hutts; I found Jabba the Hutt makes his slaves wear this outfit so I got it in black with silver trimmings, making it contrast with my pale skin nicely. I look at the table and pick up the item given to me by the owner.
A Collar.
I shudder slightly before placing it around my neck. I take a deep breath as I feel my force abilities weaken but my morphing ability still works happily.
I lengthen my hair until it's down between my shoulder blades and colour it jet black before adding slightly curls to it. I give myself the once over in the mirror and nod silently before gliding out of the room.
I shiver and wrap my arms around my stomach, as I lean against the cold stone wall. I hear the heavy footfalls of the robotic guards come and sigh sadly while closing my eyes. Knowing I don't have too much longer until I'm taken to see him again.
The past week has followed the same routine, get up, get dressed, going out and dancing before going back to bed. I am beginning to give up hope that my target wouldn't be coming here like the Jedi informant suggested however, 8 days after I arrived here, they finally came.
As I am dancing on the stage, swaying my hips, I saw my target walk in through the door, followed by what looked like androids. I smile softly and look back at the people in front of me but I keep my target in the corner of my eye.
30 minutes later the owner called me over and told me I would be doing a private sitting, I nod and follow my target into the room. I smile seductively and saunter over to the pole in the middle of the room and begin my dance as I listen to my target talk.
40 minutes later found me grinding into the lap of my targets companion when I heard him say it.
"Grab her."
I struggled against his hands and screamed before they manage to cover my mouth and nose with a cloth covered in something, knocking me out.
I get pulled out of my thoughts and look up when I see the door open and the robotic guard come into the room before I am pulled to my feet and the shackles on my wrists are chained together. I cough slightly and bend forward, wrapping my arms as much around my stomach as possible when the android pushed my back and forced me to move forward.
I whimper slightly as I pass a cage, holding a girl that looks no older than 17, completely stripped down with welts and bruises covering her body while she is tied up.
I groan quietly as I slowly wake up, instantly I know something is wrong, I slowly open my eyes and look around the room I can see.
I look around and see concrete walls with metal bars, falling from the roof to the floor, there are hooks on the wall, hanging off them are several items, all of them look threatening. A table sitting against the wall is covered with a cloth. I look up at the chain connected to my wrists and see it is collected to a hook hanging from the ceiling. I bite my lip and sigh softly while tugging on the chain...
"It's no use." I jump as much as the chains let me and whip my head around towards the door to find a guy leaning against it, watching me struggle.
"I know but it is expected in this type of situation." I snipe back sarcastically as he moves towards me, only to get back handed across the face, splitting my lip with his ring.
"Now now, my dear, sarcasm will get you nowhere whilst you're in my care." I watch silently as he moves around and gets a data pad and sits down in front of me. "First of all, my name is Dr. Constantine" I freeze when I hear his name and figure out where I remember him from, he used to work for my last master to break me. "and my employer has tasked me with this job; you see, he plans on selling you to the highest bidder but he is required to make sure you have some knowledge your future owner might find interesting aswell as any skills that will allow us to increase the starting price. Now we know you either are a Jedi or work for the Jedi as an informant, so you will have access to information most people won't; that is the information I am required to get a sample out of you now. However for the moment I am going to ask you some questions, these are simple yes or no questions so you only need to move your head, speaking will result in pain." he looks up at me and gives me a cold smile. "I'm sure you will learn this lesson quickly"
"Are you left handed?" I shake my head
"Right handed?" I shake my head again
"Ambidextrous, then" I sigh softly and nod.
"Good we are making progress, any visual or hearing problems in the last 3 years" nods my head.
"Oh really, you are allowed to speak, please describe what the problem was." He looks at me curiously.
I bite my lip and sigh before slumping in the chains. "I was deaf in my left ear for 5 months after a trade federation concussion grenade went off near me" I look up with a defeated air around me and he smiles almost softly at me.
"I'm glad you're being honest." He pauses in his writing before looking at me again. "Although I am curious as to why you are not fighting me with this."
I look away from him and bite my lip before sighing sadly and changing my facial features into something he would recognize. "Because I learned my lesson the last time I was in your care Dr." I can see he is looking confused as I speak.
"You have never been in my care child." He gently grip's my chin and forces my face into the light. I smile slightly when I see his expression turn to shock. "Oh my, my dear rose, I never thought I would see you again" he drops his hand and moves towards a panel and taps some buttons. "This makes things much easier since I remember quite clearly what affects you. I think it is time I re-introduce you to an old friend" I can see him leering at me out of the corner of my eye but I concentrate on the door sized panel on the wall.
I gasp and freeze before I start shaking as I see the frame from my nightmares. A table with several straps to make sure I can't move at all with needles covering the entire top.
I whimper slightly and look towards the Dr.
He just grins at me.
I whimper quietly as I stand outside the door, waiting for the command to enter. I swallow to try and get rid of the lump in my throat and feel the collar on me brush against my neck. As I stand waiting, I remember when he put it on me.
I head butt the guard taking me towards the Dr and quickly bury my knee against his throat, I grunt slightly as I push harder, wanting to make sure he dies when I hear a shout behind me, I turn around just in time to see a blaster blot impact me in the shoulder, both knocking me off the guard as well as leave me gasping for air.
I cry out in pain when the guard grabs my wounded shoulder and drags me into the Dr's room and straps me to the table.
"Naughty rose, you know better than to attack your guards" I whimper slightly in pain but watch as he moves around, picking something up from the table. "Luckily for us, I managed to procure something for just such an incident" he holds it up to my face and my eyes go wide when I see it is a collar. "this collar, is designed to force obedience, but as you know, I like when you fight, so I reduced it, now you will still have free will to deal with anything except a direct order, if I order you to sit then this will force you to." I squirm slightly as it tightens it around my neck. "This should be enough to make sure there are no more incidents like today." He smiles at me mockingly.
I gather the blood in my mouth and spit in his face. "Fuck you"
He closes his eyes before getting a cloth and wiping his face. "I think we should see if that mouth of yours can have a better purpose while you're here." He removes the straps and I try to attack him but find that I can't move my body at all. "Now... on your knee's" my eyes go wide when I figure out what he is going to do. I struggle against the bind my body is in as I stare at him, wide eyed as he reaches for the belt holding his pants up.
I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts as I hear the Dr finally call for me.
"Come in rose dear." I take a deep breath and open the door before shuffling in, closing the door behind me and going to stand in front of the hook that used to hold my wrists up.
"You called for me Dr?" I asked him quietly as I watch him doing some work on a data pad.
"Yes my dear, it appears that our time together has come to an end." I look at him with a confused expression, not fully understanding what he meant. "my employer has managed to sell you after several people viewed the live preview you have them 2 weeks ago." I shudder and close my eyes as I remember that...eventful afternoon.
I pull on my arms slightly, trying to reduce the strain from being chained to the roof for so long, I groan quietly but quickly close my mouth when I hear the door open and see the Dr walking in. "good afternoon my dear, it's time for a bit of a show." I allow a groan of relief escape my lips when he snaps his fingers and my arms are allowed to fall to my sides. "Follow me." I sigh softly but follow the order given.
He leads me down several winding halls before taking me into a pitch black room and connects a chain from my collar to the floor. I still can't see anything but I can hear him walking around the room before he comes up behind me. "Remember to be a good girl and put on a good show." He moves back and suddenly the room if flooded with light, exposing the viewing booth's that circle around above her.
She looks around and gets a feeling of dread as she recognises some of the biggest crime bosses in the galaxy, including a representative From Jabba the Hutt. "Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the preview of auction number 3423. Name: Rose Celeste, she has been trained as both a bodyguard and assassin by my employer when we last had her in our care. She is a graceful specimen who is skilled in exotic dancing. She has had contact with the Jedi and learned some of their fighting styles and infused it into her own unique style." I shiver and look around the room as I hear everyone muttering and giving nods of approval at my skills. "Now while this is just a preview all of you are able to place Pre-Auction bids, due to her previous training her starting bid has been raised from 100,000 to 350,000 credits. While you are deciding, she will be giving you a small show, now Rose, my dear, why don't you give everyone a dance." I look down and sigh softly before raising my hands over my head and begin swaying my hips to the music, letting my mind get lost in the music, ignoring all the eyes watching me, I dance as I always do to music.
10 minutes later when I open my eyes, I find that everyone was staring at me with lust oozing off their bodies. I feel the chain around my neck fall off as I hear footsteps behind me and turn around just in time to catch Bo staff that is thrown to me. I look down at it for a second before looking at the Dr again, only to see him pointing over my shoulder.
I quickly swing it so it is down my back and stops the other person hitting me before I dart forward and spin on the spot, spinning the staff around me as I watch one of the guards get close. I start making strikes at the guards, forcing them onto the defensive; I crouch and sweep my feet out, knocking one of the guards down, I jump onto him and, quickly and efficiently, I snap his neck and stand up, watching the second guard.
He charges towards me and I raise my leg and kick him in the stomach, forcing him backwards enough that I bring my staff to my knee, snapping it in half and grip the two halves before charging at the guard, hitting him methodically and efficiently on the weak points of his body, making him drop to the ground.
I hear heavy footfalls behind me; I quickly spin around and see a guard coming, but quickly notice that all the normal weak spots are covered by his metal armour. I growl and charge at him, hitting him in as many spots as I can but he quickly backhanded me and sends me into the wall.
I slowly get up and shake my head to clear it when I feel a pulsing running through my body, I close my eyes and concentrate on it for a second before I realise it's the same pulse I get whenever I fuel my strikes with my emotions and anger. I slowly open my eyes and give a feral grin before I push off the wall faster than he could react, I plant my foot on the knee cap and smirk at him as I hear his knee break under the force.
I lose concentration for a second and pay for it as it punches me in the stomach, sending me flying back. I wrap my arm around my stomach as I get up off the ground and growl at him before remembering an ability for my research; I close my eyes and direct the energy flowing through me into my hands.
I slowly open my eyes and scream as I raise my hands causing lightening comes arcing out of my fingers and connecting to his armour, frying his body from the inside out. I take a deep breath and lower my hands before standing tall, walking into the middle and looks around at everyone above me, looking at all the shocked looks that graced everyone's features.
I nod silently and stay standing still, knowing I can't do anything else. "As such, I will be walking you to the platform where your new master's ship is waiting." I sigh softly but nod in acceptance. "Good, then follow me." I follow him out of the room for the final time.
He guides me out of the building into a busy pathway, I have a quick look around to discover that we are still on Coruscant; I follow silently along, stretching out my senses carefully so I don't alert the Doctor to my attempts.
As I push my senses further, I slowly begin to feel something responding to my energy. I concentrate on the feeling and recognise it as Master Plo-Koon; I smile slightly when I sense him sending a message to someone before I see him heading towards me. I open my arms slightly; waiting for what I know is coming. I let him walk right past me, hitting his shoulder against mine, as he does this he slides a lightsaber into my grip, which I quickly recognise as my curved hilt one and hide in my cloak.
The Doctor guides me and my guards walking for about 20 minutes and I slowly feel more Jedi near us from all around, I smile slightly and grip the handle of my lightsaber, just waiting for the moment to strike.
I hear the Doctor let out a sigh of relief that we it through the plaza to the lift without being attacked, I smile slightly at how wrong he was.
I move slowly into a position so I can attack the robotic guards, I take a calming breath and smile slightly when the doors open and I can see who is waiting for us.
Master Windu, Master Plo-Koon and my mistress are all standing there, making it so the Doctor can't get out of the lift.
"Good afternoon, can I help you gentleman?" the Doctor asks in a slimy voice that makes my skin crawl. He sounds calm and collected but I can feel the fear and nervousness rolling off him in waves it is almost overwhelming.
"You can give us our prize for winning the auction." Master Windu said confidently. I look at him confused, wondering how they know I had been put up for sale.
I can feel the Doctor relax when he heard that statement. "Just the people I was looking for, good, do you have the payment?" I bite my lip and nods silently towards mistress; I see her nod back minutely.
I grin at the fear that goes through the Doctor when all three of them draw and activate their lightsaber's. "No, but we will be taking her anyway." My mistress stated calmly.
I quickly activate the lightsaber and slice through the 4 robotic guards that surround me before pointing the weapon at the Doctor's back. "I think I will be going with them Doctor" I say mockingly.
"Unfortunately for you, my dear rose, you have forgotten something." I look at him suspiciously before my eyes widen in horror as he taps his neck. "Rose, protect me from the Jedi." He spoke calmly
I screamed at him as I was forced to turn around and I got into a fighting stance in between the Doctor and the Jedi. "Rose, what are you doing?" I don't respond but quickly charge forward towards my mistress, I raise my sabre and slash down towards her, only to be blocked by her own. "Rose, talk to me, what's happening?" I kick her in the stomach and jump backwards, getting in between the two Jedi and the Doctor before I point my weapon at the ground, non-threatening but ready to use in an instant.
My eyes dart between the two masters and my mistress. I open my mouth and manage to speak one word before the collar forced me into silence again. "Collar" I smile slightly when realisation dawns in all three sets of eyes. I gasp and quickly raise my sabre to block an attack from Master Plo-Koon and am forced onto the defensive as his strikes get closer and closer to my neck.
I hear the Doctor scream as Master Plo-Koon managed to clip the collar with his lightsaber, unfortunately I also managed to put my lightsaber through his thigh. I quickly deactivated it and helped hold him up while my mistress knocked the Doctor out.
I sigh softly and help Master Plo-Koon towards the ship, stopping to give a quick hug to my mistress before we all move towards our transport to the temple.
