Chapter five is here! Sorry, again, that it took so long. I started college! I do not own star wars only my own character Taw'wave aka General Halla Ren
Back in my room I could feel my heartbeat all the way to my ear drums. It rang out, thumping harder and harder with each breath I took. I had just been given the most important mission of my life. Well, the most important to me. Kylo Ren still considers the youngling massacre to be the most important mission given by Snoke but I disagree. That was a test and we both passed, him by the skin of his teeth.
I was praised for weeks when we arrived on Starkiller Base after that mess. Troopers were patting me on the back, Hux complimented me keeping my composure, Phasma grazed my arm every time we saw each other. But what no one knew was every night for three week I would cry myself to sleep. Both Kylo and I were still weak at this point; I would hear him sniffle sometimes through our connecting door. Some night I would join him in his bed and rub his back and he did the same for me. We might be these evil forces now but we once were kids.
But I am no longer a kid. I am a general for the Empire and I will bring them all the supports I need of the Twi'lek race. I was their poster girl, I was everything women wanted to be: beautiful, flawless skin, strong, powerful force user. Phasma was the only one who could maybe be me, minus the force user part. I didn't realize I was flexing in the mirror when I heard a knock at the open door. There stood General Hux's first in command, Captain Phasma. I dropped my arms to my sides.
"Phasma," I breathed out. "You…your armor is looking extra shiny today." I kicked off my boots and sat on my bed. Phasma took a few steps into my room and closed the door behind her. This took me by surprise; she had never done this before. It was always "I don't want the troopers getting the wrong idea" or "I am a captain, you're a general." I could see her shoulders hung, as if her armor weight a hundred pounds. She took off her phase gun and placed it on my desk. Then, something I has never seen her do before, she removed her helmet and shook out her hair.
I long ago decided I would one day get to see Phasma's face. I had designed multiple ways what she would look like in my mind. Brown hair and green eyes, black hair in a tight bun with yellow eyes, even green hair with blue eyes. I never imagined she would be blonde. Her eyes were a chocolate colour which almost clashed with her bright blonde hair. It was short but still has…floof to it. Her skin was pale but smooth, not a wrinkle in sight. I knew she was tall but without her helmet she looked much taller, like a knight in shining Empire armor.
I must have had my mouth open because she tapped a finger on my chin to motion for me to close it. She placed the helmet on the table and sat next to me. Without it her voice was soft but deep. Not deep like a man, but deep enough to make me want to trust her.
"Halla," she breathed. "I'm worried about how you'll react when you get to your home planet. I'm worried…that…" Phasma inhaled and left out a shuddered sigh. I lay a hand on her arm and she take it in her own hand. "I'm worried you'll forget about all of us."
"All of us…or you?" She turned her head away when I said that. I tilted her chin down a little because she was still taller than me while sitting. "Phasma, I'm not going to forget you. I know we've been weird flirting the whole time I've been here, but I have meant every word."
"Even the perverted ones?" She raised an eyebrow and held my hands with both of hers.
"Especially the perverted ones." I made circles on her palm and sighed. "Phasma, listen, I like you. A lot. I would ask you to come with me but I need to do this on my own."
"Plus, General Hux needs his captain or nothing will go right." She leaned forward and rested her forehead on mine. "Nothing will go right," she whispered. I felt a tear fall from her eye onto my cheek. It fell from such a height it splashed onto my nose. I reached up and brushed away another tear with my green finger.
"Do not cry over something that wasn't. Cry over the fact that you now have a hot Twi'lek girl by your side." Phasma gave out a snort of laughter and shed another tear. I spoke again but more softly. "Cry from happiness, because now you know there is someone waiting for you, Phasma. I waited for a beautiful woman and look. She's crying in my arms." I pulled her into a hug.
"I know you have to go but…I can't bear the thought of walking by your room and you won't be in it."
"I give you permission to sleep in my bed, Phasma. And anyone who makes fun answers to me when I return." I kissed both cheeks and stood up. I pushed the button on the intercom and asked the storm trooper who answered to give Hux a message.
"What do I tell him, General Halla?"
"Tell Huxy boy he's going to be without his captain for an hour or so." I hung up and made my way towards Phasma. I peeled off my shirt and mesh undershirt. Phasma's eyes got big and her cheeks went beet red. I slipped out of my mesh tights and black shorts. Straddling Phasma with no clothes on, I leaned close and whispered in her ear.
"Now, Captain. Are you ready to take orders from your superior officer?"
Two hours later
Phasma kissed my nose as she placed her helmet back on and exited my quarters. Two storm troopers passed by only to see me laying green ass naked in my bed. They were met with being force thrown down the hallway. I force closed my door and got up to shower. The hot water wake me up, helping me think about my mission. Getting dressed I heard a knock at the door.
"Halla, get up. I'm accompanying you to Shorbun then leaving your green ass there." Kylo walked in as I pulled my shirt over my bra. "That colour always looked good on you."
"We're evil, Kylo. Black looks good on all of us." I went to grab my saber but remembered I left it with Kortis. I brushed pass Kylo and made my way to the fifth level. Kylo called after me but I ignored his jeers. I stood in the elevator with three uneasy looking troopers. I big them a good day just to throw them off when I exited on my floor. Just before I entered Kortis' room his door swung open and I heard him beckon me in.
"Halla Ren, come in. Sit. Tell me what is on your mind." Kortis sipped from a mug and motioned to a vacant chair. As I sat down I noticed the man who was strapped to a chair was gone. "Word in the halls are that you and Captain Phasma are bedding each other now."
I huffed in his direction. "It was once, like an hour ago. Kortis, it was amazing."
"I would hope so. You have come here once a week for ten years to tell me how amazing she is." I slammed my hand on the table to shut him up. "Alright. By the way, your saber is ready." Kortis force pulled my saber out of a cabinet and let it set in front of me. I ran my fingers over the haft and sharply inhaled. I picked up my new saber and attached it to my belt. I got up to leave but Kortis stopped me.
"One more thing, Halla Ren. When you get to Shorbun-yes I know about your mission to your home planet-find a blue male Twi'lek named Jar'lop and tell him Kortis give him blessing on Halla. That's you. He will know what I mean." I turned to face him but he stopped me again. "You can leave now. I am done socializing with an inferior race."
I once again, like I always do, slammed my door on my way out. I rode the elevator to the first floor and met General Hux in the main comm room. Phasma patted my butt as I entered.
"Ah, General Halla. Nice of you to finally join us. We are three hours behind schedule."
"No, General. We are right on time. This is my mission and I say when we leave." I turned to leave. "And we leave in ten minutes. Have Kylo meet me in the loading bay with two of your best troopers." I stomped away but not before patting Phasma on the butt back.
Ok, chap five is done! Comments and kudos and love are always appreciated.
