Sarah's adventures: battle for the key

Chapter 13: Vader and the mind probe

After her lesson she had been brought back to herself. She laid tediously in her bed. Her head pounded as she desperately tried to get some sleep. But she just wasn't tired enough to do so. at least she had gained some of her strength back, her body not in as much pain as she was earlier. She had been tossing and turning in her bed for hours, until she heard the cell door open. She turned and watched as a man in a mixture of black leather and metal armor entered, Darth Vader.

"Nice of you to visit" Sarah said sarcastically as she turned to face him

"I hope you find your quarters adequate Sarah ?"

"Yes, it's just what I dreamed, even better than my room at home," she joked, sitting up, her legs now over the side of the bed.

"Spare me your sarcasm Sarah! I've come to discuss the location of the key."

She stood up "good luck with that."

"Very well, send in the droid!" Vader called to the door. in came a black rounded droid. Sarah recognized it as something she had only heard stories about "I believe you recognize this machine."

"An interaction droid." She whispers aloud as her eyes light up. She had never Seen one in person but the way Leia had described it, it was nothing anyone should have to experience.

"Indeed, and since you have rejected your one chance for peaceful nigoshiagions, and now we shall discuss the location of where that key is."

"Keep that thing away from me!" She screamed, keeping her hands up in a defensive position.

"The injection arm is primed, now tell me where is the key."

"I'll never tell you."

"So be it."

"No, no stay back you hear!" Sarah tried to force push him back, but he uses his powers to keep her still.

"Hold still you little fool, there is no escape." He shouted.

She watched as the mind probe came closer and closer. She tried her best to break free of Vader's force grasp but it was too late. Before she knew it the need was in her arm and screamed.

Vader let go as she grabbed her arm. She felt it go through her body. It stung and made her dizzy. She could barely tell what was happening around her. She stumbled backwards onto her bed, painting like she had just ran a marathon. Her mind became cloudy as the world once again faded. The only thing she could focus on was Vader.

"Sarah, do you hear my voice? focus on my voice, and only my voice."

"Voice?" She whispered not recognizing it at first .

"That's right, you hear only my voice. Listen to it, trust it. I am your sister." She herd the voice change from a melatonin to her sisters.

"No." She whispered again as the world started to become clear again. She saw a figure appear where Vader once stood. It looked exactly like her sister, tall, brown hair, hazelnut eyes, her Jedi attire. They were still in the cell. Sarah had no idea how she got there but a small smile lingered across her face. "Amy?"

"Yes, all your secrets are safe with me, you can trust me." She heard her sister say. "I need to know what you did with that key."

"Key." she mumbled.

"The key to the wishing Star, what did you do with it? The hero's need to know. Help us Sarah."

She thought for a moment how her sister could know the hero's. She had never stepped foot in the kingdom.

"No" Sarah mumbled again, not really believing that this was her sister.

"We need it sarah. Where did the key go." She watched as her sister came over and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"No, I can't." Sarah said as she turned her head away.

"You must, it's your duty."

"Duty? " Sarah questioned.

"Yes, your duty to the hero's. Your duty to the kingdom itself. Master Yensid himself commands you to tell me."
She didn't know why she was getting so upset, but she could feel something was off. Something was wrong with all this.
"Yes, do you wish to please your master. Then tell me what you did with that key, say the words!"

She could feel the information trying to leave her mouth but she knew she couldn't. Even if this was her sister she needed to keep it a secret. And if it was her sister would understand.

"Your master orders you to tell me!"

"Yensids wouldn't, oh" she moaned in pain.

"You're trying my pashunts sister, tell me what was done with that key." Amy scolded her.

Why was she saying that? Amy never lost her pashunts.' Sarah thought before saying "No."

"Listen to my voice, you are now in great pain. Exsushateing pain."

She could feel her body began to hurt all over. She guided her teeth as she grabbed hold of herself. Why was she in pain? What did her sister do to her?

"Pain, the universe of it, your world is nothing but pain."

"No, make it stop! Help me Amy!" She cried out.

"Tell me what I wish to know."

This made no sense, since when did her sister not care for her.

"Help me!"

"Tell me what I wish to know! Where is that key!"

"I can't tell!" She screamed as she laid back on her bed. She curled herself into a ball, hoping it might help.

"Your skin is on fire."

Just like that she felt like she was laying on a campfire. Her body, she could see it burning. Why would her sister do this? why! "Stop, please make it stop!"

"I will when you tell me we're the key."

"No please!"

"You're dying in torment! Where is the key to the wishing Star!"

"No!" She could feel herself gasping for air.

"You only have a few seconds left, your heart is about to burst! The brink of life is nearly gone!"

"I won't" she choked out. She could feel her heart beating faster and faster, as if it was racing against the clock.

"You must!" Amy screamed at her.

"Aaaaaa!" Sarah screamed as she was on the brink of death.

"Stop!" This time she could hear Vaders voice. The pain she felt had gone, her heart began to slow.

"You are no longer dieing. No longer in pain, your mind is blank. You float without a thought or concern"

Her mind begins to fog again as the room once again fades.

"Lord Vader is everything alright?" She hears someone else say.

"No, get out!" He screams before calming himself "have a medical personal see to the prisoner make sure she suffered no serious damage."

"Yes lord Vader." The voice said as she heard him leave.

"Sleep." Sarah heard him say. Suddenly she became very tired. Her eyes slowly closed as she drifted off into sleep.

Authors note: 2/13/22
Well this was a fun chapter to write. It's about time Vader shows his face, after all it's a Star Wars book. Don't worry Kylo should show up next week, his is actually really cool. I actually got inspiration from the Star Wars audio drama of a new Hope. They go much more in-depth into Leia's interrogation which is were I got the idea. High suggest giving it a listen, it gose a lot more in-depth then the movie, you can fine them on YouTube by search Star Wars audio dramas. They got one for almost all the movies.
Anyways next update should be a lot longer and possibly the last. If not the second to last, since there's only about 7 or 8 chapters left. Alright enough chatter from me, I've got books to write! Please check out my other ones, i promise there better then this. See y'all next week!
