Dark's Day6

Author's note: If your wondering why Lina dare mocks Palpatine its because she grew up on the under levels of Curuscant and is therefore naturally streetwise and too bold for her own good. Plus she doesn't know much about his power, and he wants to encourage her hate and anger.

"Luke show Miss Sidious to her room." Vader commanded in his heavy "I can't breathe voice."

"Okay." Luke sighed, at least she wasn't ugly.

"Not okay." Lina mumbled under her breath so only Luke and D4 heard her.

"What do you think of her Lord Vader?" Sidious asked his servant thoughtfully.

"Well, she's got spirit." He replied eventually.

"So, how old are you?" Luke asked as they walked down a corridor together. She glared at him.

"18, today."

"Oh, Happy Birthday then." He replied making some vague attempt at politeness.

"Yeah, this is my happiest birthday ever. My fathers a loon and I'm being married off to a complete stranger." She replied sarcastically.

"Well, my fathers a loon too, he murdered my uncle and aunt in front of my eyes, then announced he was my father and dragged me here." Luke retorted bitterly.

"I'm sorry about that." Lina replied blushing slightly, she knew she was being unfair. He didn't want this anymore than she did.

"Don't worry, I know exactly how you feel." Luke said watching her blush. "But believe me they would kill you, Vader, my father murdered his own stepbrother."

"Oh." She replied. She was in far more danger then she'd guessed. She thought it had been "all talk".

"Vader's evil, He's evil, this entire ship is evil." Luke moaned bitterly, staring around him at the black and grey walls.

"The Empire is evil, built on deceit and lies." She added as Luke stopped outside a room.

"Well this is our room." He announced pressing a red button on the wall.

"Our room?" Lina asked paling.
