AN: Hola, and here's chapter 12. Hope you like.

12. Claustrophobia.

Claustrophobia is essentially something that can make a being go crazy in a very short time, or even die.

Maul had never been Claustrophobic in any way, but in one of his missions he had gotten a very good insight what claustrophobia was.

His mission had been to kidnap a senators daughter, it should have been an easy mission, get the girl, take her to his master and all would have been well. There was just few things wrong in this plan.

The senator's daughter had been living in a palace and had had a lot of space to move and be all of her life. When he had abducted her and took her to his ship, the girl had been claustrophobic.

In that mission he had learned pity as well. Seeing the shaking girl there, and knowing that that girl would be spending her life after reaching his master in a small cell had taught him that fear even irrational had merits.

He had sedated her and suffered a punishment from his master, for caring about his captive even a little. He had learned very quickly that fears mattered very little and that pity and humility had a little place in his world.

AN: Very hard chapter as well...
