Finding You...Kanan Jarrus x oc

Woods

It was the day before the gala, and my handmaidens were putting the finishing touches on the dress for tomorrow night. It was beautiful, I felt like royalty.

As I had finished changing into my white dress suit, a knock was heard from the front door of my suite. A handmaiden let in my fiancé, Charles Bolton in. He was dressed in his usual dark green uniform and his hair was slicked back nicely. He was a handsome man, but there was a darkness to him.

"You look beautiful my dear. Are you ready for lunch with the senators?" He complimented me and kissed the back of my hand but his lips felt cold.

"Of course." I faked smiled at him. Ive been doing this for so long I knew how to make my fake smiles and laughs seam real.

Charles is a Major General in the Empire's army. He was well feared by everyone. Thats how the Empire rules, not with peace and freedom but with fear and tyranny. This man has become dangerous and darker every time I see him. If nothing is done his way or I speak out, then there are consequences for me. He only hits me where I can cover it up with makeup or clothes. Thats why I wear only long sleeves. The bruise get darker and bigger each time he hits me. I can't leave for two reasons.

One he'll find me and do something worse if I run away, he'll kill me.

Two, the rebellion needs an inside man. In this case inside woman. Ive been giving them information behind the Empire's back. Behind Charles back. And I knew if he found out he would kill me no matter what.

So either way I'll die, if I do go down then I'm doing it my way. The right way.

"General Bolton! Miss Woods! Glad you can join us!" One of the senators said. I politely bowed my head and did a small curtsy, low enough that I did make Charles bend down. He only nodded his head at the people at the table.

"Glad to be here senator Galvin." Charles led us to a spot where he pulled a seat out for me and I quietly sat down as he pushed me in.

"Miss Woods you look beautiful as always." A female senator said. I didn't know her name but I smiled and nodded at her.

"Thank you senator. I am honored to be joining everyone for lunch today." I smiled at them making them nod their heads back at me.

Lunch was nothing special, they all talked politics so nothing really note worthy to tell Fulcrum. After Lunch, Charles brought me back to my apartment complex 

"You did well today my dear. Your learning." He says as he closest the door behind us. This made me stiff my back up slightly before I sat down on the couch.

"Yes, well I try." I softly said

"Imagine how perfect my children will be. With your obedience and my strength, they will be powerful. I expected nothing less." Charles roughly held my chin to look up at him as he went behind the couch. He pulled me into a small kiss before letting me go.

"Nothing less..." I smile up at him as he nods in acceptance.

" I must leave my dear, I have things to finish before the gala tomorrow night. I'll probably won't see you till tomorrow evening." He said as he walked back to the door. I quickly followed knowing he will want a proper goodbye.

"Then I will see you tomorrow night." I sweetly told him. He turned quickly and grabbed my face angrily.

"Are you trying to get rid of me so quickly? Hiding something?" He squeezed my mouth as he angrily breathes

"No!" I sacredly mumbled, I looked at him with wide eyes hoping that he wasn't on to me about being in contact with the rebels.

"No?! Are you hiding something from me? Huh!!" He shook me

"I just want to make sure you don't see my dress for tomorrow!!I want it to be a surprise!" I quickly said. He threw me onto the ground before leaning over me.

"Okay... I forgive you." He mumbles before kissing my head quickly. Then he stands up and straighten himself up before leaving and shutting  the door behind him.

I was left on the floor heaving thanking the maker that it wasn't worse. I slowly stand up and walk towards the window to look at the view of Corellia. I hugged myself as I looked down at the people walking the streets. I saw all types of people down there, family's, couples, poor people, orphans, every type of person you could think of lived down there.

I remember growing up, even though we didn't have much we had enough. Enough to put food on the table. Enough to put a smile on my father's face at the end of the day. Enough to love even if its just for a little bit. I had enough then that I was full and happy.

Now, I have everything. That's enough... I don't want it anymore. I never did....

Now people are suffering more than ever. You can see it. I see it every day in their faces. The way they walk. They beg for help and yet no one dose. The Empire says they freed the galaxy and gave it peace. But its just more chaotic than ever.  There's no peace on my home planet, the one next to it , the one after that.

On this planet.

A beautiful planet under a dark force of power.

A powerful galaxy under the control of a evil man.
