Title: A Jedi's Bounty
Author: Rainbowstitches
Author's note: Tried writing a star wars fan fiction before and didn't like how it went so. This is attempt to and to be honest I prefer this Idea more. I have a lot more canon facts and things to work off after I got 'The Jedi Path' and 'The Bounty Hunter code' by Daniel Wallace. If you haven't read them then read them just for Ahsoka's sassy comments. The story came super based on the song Forgiven by Within Temptation because it just suited the situation so well. So I hope you like and R&R please.

Description: Life won't always stick to what you think will happen and that's all to be learned from Eska's life. Eska Ask'ii was reborn as the notorious Bounty Hunter Bade Snare after a long series of events. These events left buried for years only to be uncovered in a rush of events. Time will only tell if she will ever be able to return happily to her life or if she will be trapped in the past forever.
Chapter 1: What a beautiful lot of credits
Secreted away in dawns first light the speeder landed in the lower levels of the underworld. The air was damp and the foul smell from the drug dens and other vulgar places leaked its scent on the empty streets. Coruscant looked beautiful from the higher levels but deep down the planet seemed like a dark nightmare. Like an epidemic the wicked plagued the streets as a safe haven. 3 people sat chilled in the speeder 2 human males from inspection and one male Twi'lek; each with an extended range of weaponry. At the back of the speeder a large box swayed back and forth as the speeder rushed through the crowds of criminals; the box let out muffled cries and moans. The much older Twi'lek, known simply as Lar, looked over his shoulder at the box. Lar smiled slyly before turning fully round and slapping the box harshly.
Lar was of a red purple shade a scar stretching from his left eye down to an unknown spot. He was tall and well built, he was best with close combat rather than ranged. He had joined the two when they needed a location and someone who could get to the filthy politician who was their acquisition.
Now the two humans were twins but with a large difference between them. Sat next to the driver with dark hair in high pony tail and eyes closed sat Bade; his features were softer and more feminine than his brother who was gruff and bulky. Slightly lanky Bade was the negotiator and talker; he was alluring and sly. A natural silver tongue with exotic tanned skin and wide purple eyes; he knew his way around most things and naturally street wise. Yet here is the thing Bade had taught himself to be a he when really he was a she. Now Cade her brother was definitely a male, with his bulk and charm. Cade had the exact same skin colour and hair yet his eyes were a blue in colour.
Cade was driving quiet back against the seat watching his sister's hand clench and unclenches as though it were a glitch in a droid. Lar was not making a fuss like usual as he watched the buildings pass by them in a quick blur.
"So where are we meeting the originator?" Lar asked spinning a knife on the end of his pointing finger
"Some apartment block up here" Bade replied moving round in her seat to face the Twi'lek
"I don't understand why you wear so much" Lar mused looking her in the eye causing Bade to slip down back in her seat
"Too many scars and too little anything else"
"And that matters?"
"Lar shut up or I'll cut your share" Bade growled leaning back into the seat
Lar had firmly shut his lips at this point as the speeder carried on passing building after building before slowing to a halt outside a less rundown apartment block. The criminal and illegal business transpired around them both outside and inside the block; what they were doing was no better. The constant activity kept it running with credits delivered to hand in seconds. Cade put the hand break on and looked at his sister who slid out of her seat and slinked over to the comm. pressing down on their originators name she carefully waited for him to come to answer.
"Yes?" the hologram in front of her grunted and eyed her up and down unfriendly
"We have your acquisition" she put forward in offering for more friendly contact with the gruff man "we brought him alive"
"Well, bring 'im up" the small round gangster cheered looking at Bade with some glee
"We'd rather not" she pushed forward looking bemused by his behaviour, the man's face swapped from the gleeful self to a strict mafia glare.
There was a none intelligible reply before the comm blinked off, Bade smiled to herself and strutted back to the car admiring one of her dark tanned hands while she leaned against the speeder. Lar took this chance to entwine his fingers into the long dark hair that swayed with the movement of Bade's head.
"When is he gonna be comin' down?" Lar asked as she bent down to stroke one head tail gently
"Any moment now" as she said this the very man came out the door and approached the speeder
Lar smiled cheekily at a tough looking Tortuga who simply looked him up and down bemused. Shaking her head Bade showed the men to the large box behind the speeder and waved her hand over it to reveal the glass. The captive entrapped within it panicked and slammed at the door; Bade was quick to wave her hand back over enclosing the acquisition in darkness again.
"Well, never thought I would get the joy out of him thank you" the mafia boss clapped his hands and the Tortuga and a man moved forward one bearing a large amount of credits and the other prepared to take the crate.
"Hold on there, this is what the 3,000 credits you offered" Bade began slapping her hand down against the crate "He caused us a lot of grief"
"3,750 credits to compensate" the boss replied waving his hand again for the man to snatch the crate up again
"Look, my friend, you see we had some others offer a larger bounty for this man" she bit back force pushing the large man back. On a normal occasion she would not use the force on Coruscant but right now she was having to
"How much were they givin'" the boss growled
"900,000" Bade put forward "and we'll also take the 3,750 as well"
The boss glared at her "Why should I give you that?"
"Because I know where you are and I can have ya smoked out of your rat den" Bade amused moving her coat back to reveal two cylinders, one clipped to each of her sides.
"Get 'em the cash" the boss trembled allowing one of his men permission to sprint up to the penthouse while his face slowly drained of colour. When the Tortuga returned with the money in cases labelled 300,000 and 1,000 and 250 they made their exchange. Throwing the cases in the back Lar moved forward next to Cade while Bade checked the cases giving the thumbs up for each case they moved forward away from the lower levels and back to the higher levels.
As they rose up onto the surface, the world became a glow with the warm golden light and the air became fresher. Slipping back into the seat Bade began to plait her hair as she waited returning to their apartment. Pulling into the garage the speeder stopped. Jumping out from the back she handed three cases to Lar and then gave out Cade's share before taking her own from the back. Taking the lift up to their apartment and opening their door; each one of them dispersed, Lar heading for the guest room. Bade slipped the credits away before lying down on the large bed.
Her whole life had taken a turn in a weird direction from being a Jedi Padawan to becoming a Bounty Hunter. Her life was a disaster from the start and her story? She would never tell you no matter how much you paid.
Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who has read this I think this will be one I'll carry on because I'm in love with the story. Next chapter promise to have Canon characters involved instead of just Oc's but I had to start it somehow. There will be a lot of Lar to come later on since I love his character. Please remember to review
