chapter thirty nine

Freya looked to the side where Darth Vader was perched. she sighed.

"I'm starting to get my memories back" she starts to say herself.

Darth Vader looks at her carefully.

"If I hid from you that they were alive, it was for this reason. I didn't want the emperor to find out about their existence."

"There is more?" Darth Vader is a little hesitant.

"They were twins" she gives him a look accompanied by a hidden smile, "you didn't know because you weren't there, as you promised"

"It would have been, if only..."

"If only you had gone with me" she faced him.

Darth Vader stares at her from under her helmet and, though she Freya couldn't meet his eyes, she felt that she could.

“This is a rebel who turned himself in,” they announce behind her back, so they break eye contact and move closer to where Luke is, “although he denies it, there may be more. I request permission to conduct a comprehensive search of the area. He was armed only with this" hands him Luke's saber.

"Well done Commander, leave us, start your search and bring his companions to me."

"Yes sir" he nodded and left with the Stormtroopers.

"The Emperor has been waiting for you" Darth Vader tells him starting to walk.

"I know, father"

Freya hearing this put her hand on Darth Vader's arm, the man gave her a look through her helmet.

"So you accepted the truth" he picks up her pace.

"I accepted the fact that you were once Anakin Skywalker. My father."

"That name means nothing to me"

"That is the name of who you are and that you wanted to forget, I know there is still good in you" Luke looks at Freya, "in both, the emperor has not taken them all" Luke moved away a little, leaning on the railing where Darth Vader and Freya were before, "that's why you didn't want to destroy me and that's why you won't take me to the emperor"

Darth Vader takes Luke's lightsaber and ignites it.

"I see that you have built a new saber. Your skills are complete, you really are powerful as the emperor foresaw."

Luke turned to them with a pleading look.

"Come with me"

"Obi wan once thought the same as you. You do not know the power of the dark side. I must obey my master"

"I will not be attracted, you must destroy me"

"If That's Your Destiny"

Freya immediately turned to Darth Vader at the words that came out of her mouth, instinctively moving towards Luke to protect him.

"Analyze your feelings, I feel the conflict within you, stop your hatred" Luke approached him brushing his shoulder with Freya's.

"It is too late for me, my son," he called to the Stormtroopers, "the emperor will show you the true essence of the force, he is his master now."

Luke glared at him, "my father is actually dead," he says disappointed. Luke takes one last look at Freya before following the Stormtroopers.

Freya gives him an annoyed look once Luke is out of sight.

"Father of the year," she says wryly.

Freya hurried to the emperor's side when she felt the tug on his arm, as it was her way of giving simple orders from him like that.

"Welcome young Skywalker, I was waiting for you. You won't need that anymore" he took off his handcuffs, "the guards are leaving"

Luke stared at him.

"I hope to complete your training, in time you will call me master"

"You are wrong, you will not convert me like you did my father"

"Oh, Luke" the emperor rises from his chair, "my young jedi, you will find out that you are the one who is wrong. About so many different things"

"His lightsaber is his," Darth Vader tells him, handing him the weapon.

"Yes, the Jedi's weapon, similar to your father's. But now you know that your father will never be able to leave the dark side, not even your mother" He beckoned to her and Freya forced herself closer to him, "I I have control over her and so it will be with you"

Luke took a hard look at the way he treated his mother, as if she were a pet.

"You're wrong. I'll die and you with me" he tells him with a smirk at the end.

The Emperor laughs: "You may be referring to the imminent attack by your rebel fleet. Yes, I assure you, we are safe here from your friends."

"His weakness of him is his overconfidence"

Freya hid a small smile when she noticed Luke's defiant attitude, it was so similar to...

"Your faith in your friends is your own," he says, taking his seat again.

"It is useless to resist, my son"

"Everything to date has been according to my design. Your friends on the sanctuary moon will fall into a trap as will your rebel fleet, and it was I who gave the alliance the location of the security generator. It is within reach. "Saved from your despicable and insulting gang, a whole legion of my best troops awaits you.
