Chapter 4
Vader could not sleep. He had never been able to sleep well. He was constently haunted with nightmares. He had stopped trying to get more than a few hours of sleep years ago. He went to check on his children. He entered Luke's room and looked at his sleeping son. Luke was a fast learner. He had improved immensely. Vader was very proud of him. He was also starting to see things from a different perspective he was no longer all light but not yet dark. Then there was Leia so much like himself he thought as he headed to her room, but she looked like his angel. He approached the bed and gently brushed a stray curl behind her ear. She was as strong as her brother but she holding back and only Luke was able to get her to explore her powers. Their bond was very strong, they could tap into the other powers, and together they would be unstoppable. Soon they would be ready to claim their galaxy.
Luke woke up early and found his Father in the kitchen. "Good morning, son" Vader greeted. Luke wiped the sleep out of his eyes and nodded to his Father as he grabbed some caf and sat down next to his Father. "Luke, I need to speak with you about your sister." Vader told his son. Luke frowned, he hated that his Father and sister were at odds. He had tried to talk some sense into his stubborn sister but when she was that mad it was hard to break through to her.
Luke sighed, "Yes, Father."
"I think it is time for us to make our move, but I don't feel that Leia is ready for that." Vader told his son.
"No, she is not ready for that, I think it would be safer if she didn't go." Luke responded. "I agree, but I don't like the idea of leaving her by herself she could escape I do nor trust her to honor our agreement." concurred Vader.
Luke looked down he knew she would try and escape if given the chance and he knew how much that would hurt their Father. Luke agreed with his Father Leia belonged with them where they could keep her safe. For now they would have to keep a closer eye on her until she understood her place and so no harm could come to her.
"She still has to adjust to this situation, she will come around just give her time." Luke replied.
"I have a private home where we could send her where she could be guarded and tell we return." Vader suggested.
"I think that would be our best option but I don't want to be the one to tell her." Luke said.
Vader glared, "What, scared of your little sister?" Vader retorted.
Luke rolled his eyes and responded, " No, but I prefer to stay away from her when she is mad, she has your temper and therefore you should be able to handle her better."
Vader shook his head, "I will go and make the arrangements, and there are not many I would trust with her." Luke sipped his caf as he watched his Father leave. It would be a long day and he would have to do so damage control after they told Leia they were sending her away.
Vader made the arrangement to send Leia to Bast Castle. It was the perfect location and because of the climate it would be hard to escape and he had his most loyal troops and servants there. He knew they would keep her safe for him or pay the price. And he knew they knew what that would be and would not fail him. He had contacted them to get things in order for her to stay there. She would be well cared for until he Luke had done what need to be done.
Later at Bast Castle.
Vader and the twins arrived at the Castle and were greeted by the staff, Leia was pissed off and wasn't talking to either of them which was a blessing considering the mood she was in. And he was more then relieved when the maid took off to see where she would be staying for a while. Vader gave the final instructions for Leia's care while they were gone. He did not want them taking any chances, not with his daughter she was a Skywalker after all and they were not to underestimate her. Then they left for their final battle.
Leia was sulking in her room. She couldn't believe they were leaving her behind. She was fuming. It wasn't like she couldn't take care of her self she had been doing that before she met either of them and did fine. Yet they didn't think she could handle this fight. She would show them, well at least with out them here she maybe get the chance to escape. She knew she had promised to stay but she knew she could not help anyone staying here and if she escaped she could help the rebellion again. So she decided to explore her new home to figure the lay out and form an escape plan. She knew she had to steel a ship there was nowhere to run too on this planet not with its weather patterns so that was her only option.
Leia slipped out of her room and started exploring the Castle. She didn't like the way the staff was staring at her it made her uncomfortable. She knew well how most felt about the dark lord and wasn't surprised at their reaction. But still here it came more out of respect then just out of fear. She was shocked these people respected Vader and liked him. Well it looked like she get no help from the staff in escaping she had hoped they would have feared and hated him like everyone else but no she was stuck here with the Vader worshiper. Then she noticed a room with uniforms, maybe if she wore a uniform they would know whom she was and she would be able to leave on a supply ship saying she was taking a few days off to vist family. She took one of the uniforms and thought it would be best if she wore it once in a while and interacted with the staff so they would think she did work there and then when she tried to leave they would not be any wiser. This would also mean she would have to stay away form them when she was her self or they would recognize her. Well, it worth a shot and it not like she had anything to lose. They could not hurt her and she knew this but if she did escape she knew they would be the ones to play the price. This did make her pause and feel bad but they did work for Vader knowing who he is they choose their own fate.
She slipped into the uniform and head down to the kitchen. She was relieved that in these clothes no one really paid attention to her. She entered the kitchen and noticed some staff with caf chatting at the table. She walked up to them and sat down. They stopped talking and looked at her.
"Who are you?" one of the people asked.
"Hi, I am new here, my name is Leila," She greeted.
"That is strange, we don't normally get new people her," another responded
"I came with Lord Vader, he transferred me from another location. I served his daughter a little and he thought she be a little more comfortable with someone she knows around" she replied.
"Oh, really we were just talking about her, what is she like?" one of the cooks asked.
"I really don't know that much and even if I did, Vader is a very private mad and would not like me commenting on family matter." Leia stated firmly.
"Of course, sorry we just can't believe he as kids and we can't help wanting to know more. by the way I'm Lilly and this is Sam, Taylor, and Syd." Lilly apologized.
Leia nodded and the conversation broke into different discussions and she had a nice conversation with Lilly. She had made a friend and they had agreed to meet tomorrow to hang out. She was happy she found someone to help past the time here. But she needed to get back to her room before she blew her cover so she left her friend and changed back into too her clothes.
She went back down stair for dinner well aware of the stares she was getting again. She ignored them and sat down at the table. A woman joined her. Who was apparently the overseer of the place and was explaining to Leia about the castle. She was happy to here she had pretty much free range of the castle with the exception of the lower two levels and the ship yard. And was told those areas were guarded at all time and they knew what she looked so she would not be able to slip past them. But maybe in lowly uniform the guards wouldn't bother to notice her or at least she hopped they wouldn't.
Well I hoped you liked it. Reviews are a great way to help me improve and I can't do that without your advice. So go a head and review please and tell me what you think.
