A Shocking Truth

Lita's eyes fluttered open, with her mind still groggy from the drugs, as she tried taking in her surroundings. Where am I? Lita then realized she was lying on a couch with pillows resting under her head. As Lita was looking around the room she saw that the room was decorated mostly black, but there were hints of dark red and grey highlights. She tried sitting up, but her body was still tired from the drugs, so she decided to just rest for now.

"What happened?" Lita asked herself. Then it all came back to her.

That's right, I met Ben. Then Darth Vader came back. Ben wanted me to leave with him. But I ran back to save my family. Then I got caught by stormtroopers. Then Vader injected me with something that made me pass out. Then she remembered something else, "Oh, no Rori! I had Rori with me when it happened! Was she taken too?" Lita knew that D-3PO was way behind her when she ran back to the lake house and she didn't think the protocol droid could have made it back there, so she wasn't too worried about him. She looked around for her pet and even tried listening for her, but she couldn't see or hear her. "I hope she's still back on Naboo," Lita thought hopefully.

Then the door opened and Darth Vader strode inside with his black cape and mask and stopped in front of Lita, their eyes met. Lita was scared of being in the same room with Vader, but refused to show it.

Did he do something bad to Rori?

"Your pet is fine, child," Vader said to her.

"But... But I didn't say anything," Lita stuttered. Was he reading my mind?

"It's not as much as mind reading as it is being open minded," Vader explained.

"Where is Rori?" Lita asked.

"I will be the one asking the questions, young one," Vader replied. "First of all, where did you get this? he asked, pulling the Jedi handbook out of the satchel.

"I found it at the station when I was getting power boosters for my speeder bike," Lita answered, seeing no reason to lie.

"Hmm..." Vader mused.

"Can I have my satchel back?" Lita asked; she knew she wouldn't be getting her book back, but she would at least like to have her satchel.

Vader ignored her question and asked, "How did you came to be on Naboo?"

Lita blinked with confusion, "What? Why do you want to know that?"

"I wish to know everything about you, child," Vader responded, "Were you born on Naboo or were you brought there?"

Lita frowned, not knowing what to make of The Dark Lord, "Well, according to Aunt Sola, I was brought to them when I was a baby. She said that after my mother died in childbirth, I was sent to live with her, my uncle, cousins, and grandparents on Naboo, I think she said it was when I was only a few days old."

"Were you ever told who gave you to them?" Vader questioned.

"No, only that he was a family friend, who was close to my father," Lita answered sadly. "I wish I knew who. I also wish I knew more about my father, but the only thing my aunt and uncle ever told me was that he's dead," she sighed looking down.

Vader knelt down next to her and lifted her chin up. "Your father isn't dead, child," Vader said calmly.

Lita's eyes widen at what The Sith Lord said then asked, "Do you know my father?"

"Yes, Lita," Vader said softly. "I do know your father very well, because I am your father."

Sorry for the late update I was have trouble with this chapter. I was wondering, should I have D3PO stay on Naboo or should he go with Lita and Rori on the adventure. Please review I really want to know how I'm doing with this story. May The Force Be With You!
