THE FATE

CHAPTER 2

It was a 13 hour travel time which included light speed, how did this feel like it went by so quick?

I slowed the Venture down as I approached the loading dock of the massive ship. The supremacy was highly influenced by the Empire but was much more efficient, had blasters on every square inch of the ship, and had multiple loading docks where TIE fighters were on standby at all hours. The loading dock made Starkiller's look like a joke. This ship was massive, I don't understand for what.

I was directed to land as I saw rows and rows of storm troopers awaiting my arrival, which I wasn't too thrilled about. The Supremacy storm troopers were different than those on Starkiller, they were more abrasive, squared away, and just like robots.

I landed and I looked at that particular button that opens the hatch. I stared for a few moments, just wondering what would happen if I just took off and went back home. That would cause a real scene, I would certainly be shot down before I even jumped to light speed. Anyways.

The hissing sound began as I walked down the ramp. I felt my robes sway in the air conditioned loading dock, I decided to wear my boots with my leggings and a high neck compression top with a boat neckline. I didn't want to stand out and wear my usual dresses or skirts. I don't know what Snoke would do to me, but I wanted to make sure that no eyes could burn holes through me.

"Commander, ma'am, welcome abroad the Supremacy. The Supreme Leader is waiting for you." A red storm trooper addressed me. Never am I addressed as 'ma'am' on Starkiller, only here. Which made me feel "old?" But I'm really not old, I feel old, but 23 year old is not old.

"Trooper, please lead the way." I demanded back. I actually don't know the true way to where Snoke slithers around. I've always followed Kylo or Kor on the way to the throne room.

I was followed by an additional 4 troopers, I felt like this was a bit of overkill. There were seven officers lined up ready to communicate their actions for the day that I would be involved in. Only downside to being a commander is that you out ranked everyone except for two men.

"We will connect afterwards." I said abruptly to the line of officers, hopefully not giving the space to possibly change my course of direction.

As we are walking down the endless hallways, I am observing everything in my path. The smell, the cold metal, and the heaviness in the air. That was one thing I remember about coming here. I feel incredibly heavy. Like I have a massive weight on me that I can't shake off.

We approached a doorway which led to the elevator. The red trooper said "Ma'am, see you in a bit."

That was like the most human thing this one has ever said to me, which was odd.

"See you soon." I replied to the trooper. Trying my absolute best to not have a shiver in my voice and fake my confidence.

I stepped into the elevator and turned to face the doors. It was the brightest area in this whole ship. I was reviewing how I could tell Snoke about the intel we gathered or I could put up a wall. I could hide it from him. I'm so wrong, I could never hide anything from Snoke. That is asking for a death sentence. I will just tell him everything I saw. No hiding, no lying, and no telling my feelings. I need to be cold.

The doors hiss open, and my gazes looks up straight at the throne.

There he is, the old skeleton wearing a skin suit that doesn't even fit him. He looks half alive and half dead. Missing fingers, missing teeth, and missing some skin coverage along his cheek.

"Darth Valla," he said hissing and he motioned me to come forward.

I walked forward and kneeled within about 20 feet of him.
