AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry for the late of this. College has been the one to control my free time...:)
I'm almost getting finished the next Chapter, I didn't put it together with Chapter 4 because it wouldn't make sense…
I promise I'll try to reliese the next chapter the most by Sunday, I just can't promise due to the amount of things I have to get done for College…
Please R&R
Thanks:)

"Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night"

CHAPTER 4: Leia's necklace
*~~**~~**~~***~~**~~**~~***~~***~~**~~**~~***~~****~~**~~**~
Leia was never one to be easily scared.
But now...
She wasn't afraid of losing her life because she knew that losing her life would be a fair price to pay in order to keep the rebellion going... Besides she had always known that being one of the main leaders of the Rebellion her chances of dying were very high but she was certain that if she died fighting against the Empire, she would know that her death would have being worth ...
That's why she hardly got afraid....
But now...
She really wasn't afraid of dying, what she dreadfully feared was what she could let slip… If any other officer had caught her, she knew she'd die before saying anything but him…
Unfortunately, she was afraid… and also tormented by questions that didn't want to be left aside… such as why did they take a sample of her blood or why were they taking so long to interrogate her… this waiting was the worst thing she had experienced so far… and why did it have to be him?
Even when she had been just a kid, she had wondered how could one be so loyal to a monster. It's not like he was the only one to follow Palpatine but he surely was the blindest… In he missions both as a senator and as a rebel leader she had felt higher officers balance for a second or two before obeying the orders, of course their uncertainty had been very tiny and she always had the impression she was the only one to notice it.
But even for a millisecond she had felt this indecision in all officers she had the opportunity to meet, but him… Vader… she never ever felt him give a second thought to any received order… Would he still have any humanity left?
By Instinct, Leia put her hand in the necklace she was wearing, she had wore it as long as she remembered, it had been a gift of her mother who had made her promise, even being just a little girl, to always wear it as a symbol of her mother's love… Leia had kept her promise, and she intended to go on for it was one of the few things she had of her mother….
Her mother… she knew so little about her, yet she knew she had loved her far too much and probably her father… father…
It was a lucky that Vader never had kids, imagine… being the child of the Dark Lord… it would be horrible to have such a heartless father… obviously that's also why he had never been married… who in the universe would love someone so…
The Dark Lord of the Sith chose this moment to make his appearance.
Leia was terrified, but she'd never show it. She'd never give up to easily…

I know it was short, even shorter than I usually write, but I've decided to let available the part I had already written or else it could take even longer… College hasn't let us think or do anything that is not related to it…
