Chapter 1; childhood 

Zipporah never knew her father, Zorba, the Hutt had been reaching his end by the time of her birth. He could hardly move; he had retired and her much much older brother Jabba had taken over, no one had believed that Zorba's favorite slave Fusun was pregnant with his child, it was thought impossible, everyone believed it had been another slave who impregnated her but Zorba refused to believe this, and tirelessly fought with the other Hutts about how the child was his. Once the child had been born they named her after Zorba, resulting in the name Zipporah, it was said that when the child was born, she had been born with green skin, but within a week the green had turned a light shade of peach.

but nevertheless many were still skeptical and Zipporah was dubbed "The fake Hutt" Jabba did little to stop this as he did not have an ounce of care for the baby, or he didn't until Zorba died, Jabba became conflicted in his thoughts and feeling for his father and turned to his half-sister for closure, the two-year-old Zipporah was taken from her mother Fusun and given to Jabba, from that day on people kept their suspicions quite in fear that Jabba would kill them for speaking ill of his precious little sister, little Zipporah had become Tatooine's moon, she was soft and kind something hardly ever seen with the Hutts, it was strange and unusual but she was a child her mind had yet to be corrupted but they were sure of one thing if Zipporah Desilijic Tiure was truly a Hutt she wouldn't be able to stay innocent for long.

on the sandy planet Tatooine 

36 BBY

It was early morning, and both suns had begun to rise the sand was softly blown through the air, and for a moment it almost seemed as if Tatooine was at peace, but it was not, five blaster shots loudly rang through the streets, and not a creature had paid any mind to it, morning violence was nothing new slowly it had become the lullaby that lulled the babies of Tatooine to sleep, or at least young Zipporah. it was strange but the sound of a blaster had become so common that she struggled sometimes to sleep without hearing it. four-year-old Zipporah was already awake and with the help of two slaves she was to be dressed "I want pink!" she cried stomping her little feet onto the hard stone floors "Zipporah please Jabba shall be upset if you don't go down in time" the slave's accent was heavy her pretty face was twisted in anxiety out of fear of what Jabba shall do to her if she is unable to have the young Hutt ready "No!" large tears poured down the child's face as she began to sob even louder than before "Child please" begged the older slave, she was thin her eyes hooded as she struggled to stay awake. Zipporah took a shaky breath as she began to wipe her eyes, the two slaves let out a breath they had been holding in, the child was going to cooperate. the young slave unzipped the green dress and the child went running, she rushed out the door, her feet bare and only in her white nightgown, as she rushed through the podiums and twisted through the halls she managed to escape the two slaves. the child sat down and let out a shaky breath as she began once again to cry "Why are you crying?" Zipporah turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked to be no older than 5. she parted her lips about to tell him to go away when she noticed a bucket full of dirty water in his hands "Why do you have that?" she questioned the boy looked down confused and turned to stare back at her "it's my job...don't you also have to work?" Zipporah shook her head "Jabba says only slaves have to clean....are you a slave?" the boys frowned he hated that word "I'm a person and my name is Anakin." his frown deepened as he remembered how his mother had told him never to say such things to people, she worried he would anger someone of power and he would be punished "my mothers a slave" admitted the girl "I wouldn't judge you if you were one" the two stared at each other in silence  "what's your name?" he asked "Zipporah" she answered, his breathing stilled and his cheeks heated up "your lying!" accused the boy and Zipporah opened her mouth wide in anger "Am not!" the girl was now standing up her hands balled into fists "are too, Hutts are ugly slugs, your too pretty to be a Hutt!" Anakin had discarded his bucket of dirty water on the floor and had taken a step closer to the girl "Hutts are not ugly!" she shouted "your ugly!" she exclaimed "Am not!" argued Anakin their loud shouting had alerted others of the kid's presence. a woman Zipporah had never seen before came running in Anakin's direction quickly picking the boy up. his head facing the other direction from the Hutt girl "Forgive us he is only a child" begged the woman.  Zipporah's slaves had caught up to her and now stood a foot away from the girl "I do not want your apology I want his" Anakin turned his head to face her and stuck out his tongue "Zipporah Gardulla is already here, we must dress you now." the younger slave quickly picked up the girl and began to walk back to her room, the two children held eye contact until they couldn't see each other anymore.
