It was pitch-black, and pouring rain as Darth Vader rode up on his speeder bike to a house. The house of an evil man. He parked his speeder bike, and strode to the front door. He banged 3 times before the door was flung open to reveal Abaddon. Without a word, Vader pushed his way into the house. "Who are you?, the now terrified man said.

"That is none of your concern for now. " Vader replied, towering over the short man with arid green hair, black eyes, and orange skin.

"My name is Abaddon. Please, don't hurt me!" The man said, shaking.

"I know who you are, and I will not promise that." Vader said. picking him up with the force. "Now, you and I are going to have a discussion. If you answer my questions, I may not propel you into each wall of your house."

"Please!" Abaddon screamed, looking like he might vomit, Vader waited a moment, and then released Abaddon from his force hold. Abaddon stumbled down to the floor. "What do you want to know?" Abaddon choked out.

"Abaddon, have you ever been to The Star Dust?"

"No." Abaddon answered.

"Do not lie to me Abaddon, if you do, it will not end well for you."

,

"I give you my word, I don't know what Star Dust is!"

"Your word means nothing, Abaddon! Do you know someone who goes by the name of Shira?"

Abaddon began to rise from the floor, Vader didn't stop him. He moaned until he was at his feet, and facing Vader. "Yes." He said, in a gleeful tone. "Yes, I didn't meet her at The Star Dust. I did meet is the most beautiful creature I have ever come across."

"When you met her, did you hurt her?" Vader asked, seething.

"That was not my intention. She is breathtaking, but feisty, impossible to tame." Abaddon said.

"Did you beat her?" Vader screamed, his eyes turning fire red.

"She's just a slave to use!" Abaddon yelled back. At that moment, he felt himself being lifted off the ground.

"Just a slave?" Vader bellowed, using the force to toss him into a wall. Vader forced him down to the ground. He landed with a thud, and Vader stepped in front of him. He pounded him with his fists. Abaddon was moaning in agony, one one blow, and this waste of space would be gone. He raised his hand high, it was about to come down on Abaddon when suddenly Padme's voice came into his mind, pleading with him to stop. He could hear Abaddon still breathing. Vader lowered his hand, strode out of the house, and quickly mounted his speeder bike, and drove away.

Rain still poured down, and pounded the pavement when Vader arrived home. Thunder clapped assaulting his ears as he opened the door to his home. He rushed inside, and closed the door, locking it quickly." Vader, Vader, Vader." Padme called, stepping out of his media room, and meeting him at the door. "I woke up, and you weren't here. "You're drenched. Are you alright?" Padme's words rushed out, and Vader was touched, it scared him, the fact that he showed mercy to Abaddon terrified him.

"I am alright," He stepped closer to her, and placed his hand on her back. She didn't finch or move away. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. Why don't you change your clothes?"" She was still in the clothes she wore to the market.

"I should." Padme whispered . "Don't you need my help first?" She knew Vader didn't require her assistance. but she didn't want to leave him.

"Go get changed, I will do the same. We will meet in the media room in 1 hour."

"You won't leave?" Padme whispered.

"No, I am not leaving." Vader said, firmly. He took his hand away from her back, and watched as she walked away, and headed toward the turbolift.

When Vader entered his media room, wearing a fresh rode, he found Padme already there. He scanned the room. The teapot that had been in the room was gone, replaced with a bigger one, and on the clean tray on wheels, beside the tea were plates of bread, and red meat. "You must be starving. Padme said, softly. She had changed into a long casual white dress. Her hair was twisted in a bun that was held together by a matching clip, she looked like an angel.

"Yes, I am." Vader confirmed, wheeling the tray closer to the black couch, and sitting beside Padme. He quickly began to eat. After his first bite of meat, he spoke. "Thank-you. I know my droids did not prepare this."

"I didn't know where you were. I was going to search for you."

"Don't do that." He said, immediately. "I will always come back here." Padme was silent until Vader finished his meat.

When he picked up a piece of bread, Padme broke the silence. "Where did you go?"

"Nowhere important." He answered softly.

"Did you go to Abaddon?" She asked, shocking him.
