Part 1/ 5 of the First Arc. This will be split sooooooooo. HOPE you EnJoy 3 (oh yeah you should be expecting next part by thursday)
Vader's Ship -
People were working on their computers fearfully today. They were scared of the empire (which was obvious), but they had no choice but to pretend to stand with it so they could not suffer but today especially, everybody was petrified. Some were biting their lips, others ate their nails. Some rotated their feet from where they sat, while others fidgeted with their hand. It of course was not the usual behavior you would expect from them. They were usually set straight onto their computers, receiving messages for Lord Vader or detecting attacking ships, finding new planets to conquer etc. This was how they usually were. But not today they were not. It was because somebody was coming for a visit. And everybody was scared of that somebody.
Lord Vader'
He was notorious in the empire. Infamous, fearful, scary and if you say his name, everybody will hide from you, thinking you were part of the empire, ready to kill them. Even though the empire gave peace, it was a brutal peace, a cruel peace. Not a perfect peace. They gave a peace that started to tear our galaxy into bits.
But they did it slowly.
Suddenly we heard footsteps. Walking toward us. We could hear tiny echoes of conversation that was between the Lieutenant and Lord Vader. The footsteps got louder until it came to a halt.
The halt led to a silence
The silence then broke when Lord Vader walked ahead of Lieutenant. Supervising us as if a spy was on board. His breaths startled everyone, as he was finishing a full circle. He then looked up at the Lieutenant and said coldly;
"Are you sure there is no spy here, because I can see many?"
After he said those terrifying words, the Lieutenant slowly started to freeze. Knowing he will suffer a punishment. Lord Vader all of a sudden used the force to choke the necks of the spy's. He then looked like he wanted to grin at the Lieutenant but couldn't. Instead he just choked the spy's harder and harder, until they all dropped dead in front of his feet. He then walked over the dead body's, stabbing them with his feet, to reach the Lieutenant. He looked like he wanted to kill the Lieutenant and when Lord Vader came, he just gave the Lieutenant a cold shudder, filling him with fear.
"No more killing of our own, otherwise the master will get mad." Darth Vader said coldly, leaving the room with the Lieutenant stuck in his own web of fear. After Vader left, the Lieutenant was found dead. His body becoming colder in the moment.
We all wanted to help the Lieutenant, but we knew that if we helped, we would be dead too. That was Lord Vader's orders and if we disobey them, we may die with the Lieutenant too. And that was too risky, since we all wanted to stay alive.
After we saw the Lieutenant's body we knew we had to keep calm and carry on to work. After all, if you disobey Lord Vader, you might as well die. We all pretended like nobody died and nothing happened. A few hours passed and I needed to stretch, but I could not get up without reason. It would seem like suspicious behavior as it would seem like I was a spy. I then realized I needed an excuse to get up from my chair.
I first looked into any attacking ships, but none were there, I looked into new planets, but none were there (not in 10 light years, and that we would have to travel hyperspace and I need Lord Vader's permission to do so. I was stuck. And I need to stretch my legs, after all it is a normal need to stretch. And I had to find the perfect way without seeming suspicious.
I really needed to stretch, sooner or later.
And then, I got the perfect plan, after all I had been sitting in the chair for days, and if this plan didn't work, I'd be executed.
So I got up and dashed to the archway, the same one Vader came through, it lead to a giant maze of walls, and so I was determined, to have a short walk and come back to my seat without anyone following or seeing me.
That was the plan, at least until I met him.
