chapter thirty six

Darth Vader looked at Freya, who was helping him with his suit, leaving no one else to handle his suit repairs except her. Only her.

Freya had spent several years brainwashed by her which caused her to suffer various memory loss. She had forgotten about Anakin and her children. But the feeling of what she felt for them was still present in her chest, she just didn't remember who she loved that way.

Darth Vader looks at Freya's concentrated face, he misses her every day, but he keeps very nice memories of her.

After the fight with obi wan, certain parts of his body had to be replaced with mechanical ones, almost turning him into a machine. But his head, his mind, most of his life is there, perhaps he is no longer the same as before because of the dark side, but within all that darkness is his little light, more alive than ever. He treasures all the happy moments they shared, wishing there were more.

Freya finishes the job and looks up to meet Darth Vader's. he also missed the green color of her eyes, now they were only scarlet, but that didn't make them less beautiful.

Then she did something that surprised him, first she put her finger on her nose and then she brought her finger to his. Just like he a few months ago he had shown her.

Due to her memory loss, Freya was like a growing child, she absorbed what she saw as a sponge and then imitated it. That was sweet and innocent, but she was also playing her blank memory against her, because that way they could stuff a lot of bloody missions into her head. They turned her into a bloodthirsty animal.

Darth Vader imitated Freya's movement and she nodded in agreement that it was reciprocated. he then wanted to make a riskier move, so he touched her arm, but she immediately backed away from him. Vader noted that he touched her arm with the bracelet.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he tells her through his noisy breathing and her robotic voice.

Freya tilts her head, stroking the bracelet that had been buried in her skin for so many years. She then returns to the previous position of her sitting next to him.

Before Vader tried to get closer again, the general entered, Freya got up and moved away from them so they could talk, Darth Vader, although he was listening to the general, kept his gaze on Freya. Once the general left, Darth Vader contacted the others.

"Darth Vader, the fleet has run out of lightspeed..." he couldn't finish the sentence as he started to run out of air.

"You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. Captain Piett"

"Yes my lord?"

"Have the troops descend away from the energy field, deploy the fleet so nothing can get out of the system. You are in command now, Admiral Piett" and with that the former admiral fell to the ground without oxygen.

"Thank you Lord Vader" he says before hanging up.

“That was the last time they appeared on our radars, considering the damage we suffered they should have been destroyed”

"No, captain, they are alive. I want all ships to search all asteroids until they are found"

With a bow they end the call. The admiral then hurries across the room.

"Lord Vader"

"Yes, admiral?"

"The emperor demands that you communicate with him" the admiral directs a look at Freya who plays with her powers sitting on a chair in the room, "both of us"

"Remove ship from asteroid fields to send clear transmission"

Darth Vader approaches Freya, she still focused on her little game, letting himself be directed by him.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

"There are major disturbances in the force"

"I've felt it"

    "We have a new enemy, the young rebel who destroyed the death star"

Freya's attention drifted from her game to what the emperor was saying, feeling an interest in the rebel. She remembered seeing him, before Obi Wan died, her memories were not very clear.

"I'm sure this boy is a descendant of Anakin Skywalker," the emperor looked at Freya, "and of Freya Argon."

"How is that possible?" Darth Vader looked at Freya. Well, she had told him that her child had died when he was born.

The emperor continued to speak, but Freya was confused, her mind began to be a complete mess. And then a flashback went through her;

"Take them away!" She asked.

"He's just a kid, Obi Wan can't help him anymore."

"The force is very strong in him. Skywalker's son must never become a Jedi"

Freya acted on instinct, something in her made her jump and speak, "if we could turn him, he would be a powerful ally."

The emperor looked at her a little surprised by her intervention.

"Yes, a useful acquisition. Could that be possible?"

"He will join us or die, Master," Darth Vader says firmly.
