Chapter 1
Mara lay staring at the ceiling of the medical wing of the Imperial
palace, a ripping pain running through her abdomen.
"Push now Ms. Jade." The modulated voice of Twelve-one-bee droid rang out.
"Son of a Sith! I am pushing!" Mara screamed. She was red faced, angry,
tired, and full of hatred for the man that got her into this predicament, Skywalker.
"If I ever..." Mara muttered, and stopped abruptly when she felt
a tiny mind reach out and touch hers.
"One last push Ms. Jade." Twelve-one-bee's voice cut through her thoughts
This time, however, Mara's throat muscles were too tight to speak through.
Suddenly, it was over. Through the haze of pain she heard the droid congratulate her on a healthy baby girl.
A few minutes later she was holding her daughter in her arms. She had afew wisps of blonde hair, and the most brilliant blue eyes she had ever seen.
"Whitney," she whispered. "Call her Whitney."
A few months later
"Mara Jade," The Emperor's voice rang out. " You have successfully born a baby girl, correct?" He smirked. Now it was time to put his plan into action.
"Yes, my master." Mara spoke evenly, not giving a hint of her private dread
at this meeting. /Kind of hard to argue that when she's in my arms now isn't it?/
"I trust that you have remembered our agreement?"
"Yes, my master." /You mean the one where you take my little girl away and kill her if I fail. Yep, how could I forget?/
"It is time to release the child into the care of these gaurdians. You are not to have any contact with the child again and if you do, you both shall be killed." He leaned forward, his eyes narrowing and his voice chilling a
few degrees. "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, my master." She grated. She would do it only to keep Whitney safe.
"Good." He settled back into the throne. "It would be most
unfortunate if for any reason she were to come looking for you." He then turned to the guardians, "Lindy, Steve, take the child to the planet whose coordinates are set
encrypted into your navicomputer. And try not to make any stops along the way. Skywalker will recognize his own."
"Yes master." They said in unison. Lindy walked over to Mara, gave her a sympathetic look, and took the child from her arms.
"The records are already in place for you on the planet, and you have a 'family' that you will be part of. You alias will be a couple just moving in from the south to start a new life with their baby in the north. I trust you will be able to handle this?"
"Yes master"
"Good, you are dismissed."
The couple bowed and left, with Whitney in their arms.
The Emperor turned an eye to Mara. "Emperor's Hand, begin preparation for your mission now. You leave in two weeks so I suggest you hurry."
"Yes my master." Mara hurried out of the room. Yes she would hurry, but first she needed to figure out what to do about Whitney. /Should I join forces with Skywalker? No, the Emperor would kill her before we got
anywhere near the planet. I have two weeks to find a plan. The Emperor is
right,I better hurry./
that's it for now folks, I'm sorry it took so long to post this, but I got hacked and couldn't get online. Next one will be up shortly.
