Beneath the Helment

The Escape

5:00

Finally, I was off my duty, it was time for the other half of troopers to do there job.
It always got hot in the tents they put around the perimeter, they were even nice enough to put heating in the tents. But there was no need since our suits had heating in them already.
No one liked being stationed at Hoth, but I did not mind it, less work to do. No one ever hardly  stops at Hoth anymore, if it is anyone it's the empire checking in on us and dropping off supplies for the month.

I had stepped out side and noticed the wind starting to pick up, "just great".

Finally after a 10 minute walk, I could start to see the resting quarters. The resting quarters were built into small mountains, and they also had heating in them. Plus we all have to share with someone, I share with TK-3874, but I call him Ralf. We had given each other names, we thought it was more proper then numbers. I agree.

Finally I was close, I could not wait to take this stupid suit off. I get to our door and type in the code, then the doors slide open.
"Hey Ralf I'm back".
He's sitting at the desk listening to the radio. "So how was work" "Shh!"
He turned the radio up, the daily news, or whatever. I started to slowly take off my suit, it always took awhile to get it off.
I finally got it all off except for the boots, I walked over to the beds and started to tug them off.

"Have you heard the news?!" I'd look up at Ralf looking at me. "No..?"
"Starkiller escaped!" I stopped breathing for a second. "Lord Vader's apprentice, Starkiller..?" Ralf rolled his eyes and turned towards the radio "yes stupid, do you know any other Starkiller?" "They have ordered us to keep a close eye out for him, but nothing else we can do." Tugging off my other boot I laughed "ha, like he would come to a planet like this!"

"You'd be surprised.."

(Hey! Thanks for reading the first chapter. But please, I promise this story sort of gets better. I'm simply 15 years old and just trying something new!)
