Captured By Darth Vader

Broken Promises

Darth Vader's POV:

My Stormtroopers and I brought Lillian back to the ship, I knew I should have sold her, but something about her made me decline the offer. Maybe we could get some more information out of her. She was a brave girl, but she was holding back her potential being a Jedi, she could have way more power as a Sith. Stupid, like all Jedi.

Now, I had to break the news to Darth Sidious. He wouldn't be very happy to hear about the change of plans. I had to think of a way to convince him that this was the best decision we could have made, although it would be hard, I couldn't give him the chance to call me weak for letting her persuade me.

I sat down on the chair in my office and watched how some Stormtroopers cuffed Lillian onto the chair in front of my desk. They secured her to the chair quite fast since she wasn't resisting anymore, maybe she was happy to be here, or maybe she was thinking about a plan to escape.

When the Stormtroopers left the room, I debated if I should take my helmet off or leave it on. Usually I take it off when I am in my office, it is easier to get some paper work done without it, but last time I took it off I could hear Lillian's inappropriate thoughts about me so loudly that I couldn't concentrate.

She really thought I was handsome, her mind was so detailed about my appearance, and my voice, she spoke so highly of my voice I almost thought she enjoyed being here.

I didn't think I was good-looking, the opposite, I thought I wasn't that's why I wore this helmet most of the time. I had scars all over me, a sign of weakness. Almost all of them were caused by Obi-Wan Kenobi, my ex Master and now my mortal enemy, I hated him for what he did to me. Even though I hated him, there was a person I hated even more, myself. I am such an awful person, I am responsible for so many deaths, including Padmé's.

I couldn't stand to look into the mirror to see the face of a killer, and my voice, I hated my voice, the voice I made promises with that I never fulfilled. I promised Padmé I would save her from dying, I promised Willow I would never turn to the dark side, I promised my mom I would rescue her and I promised Obi-Wan he would always be my best friend.

I decided to leave the helmet on and call Darth Sidious to tell him that I hadn't sold Lillian. I went outside my office, I didn't need the Jedi to listen to a private conversation.

"Hello Lord Vader." I was greeted.

"Hello Darth Sidious."

"Do you have good news? For how much did you sell her?" He asked in a calm voice. Even though he didn't specify which one of the women I had sold, I knew who he was referring to.

"Unfortunately, I haven't sold her, but I think she might give away some more information about the Jedi, Master." I replied.

"How do you know that?"

"She promised me she would do everything I want if I didn't sell her."

"That's nonsense, she will never talk Lord Vader!" He raised his voice, he thought I was stupid. Honestly, I thought the same thing, I didn't really have an excuse for what I did, her words were just words. Promises can be broken, I knew that too well.

"Well, if she is such a good Jedi, she should fulfil her promises. I have a feeling that she is going to tell me something soon." I specified my answer.

"Okay then, but as soon as I notice she isn't giving us any information, she will be executed." He said in an angry but still relaxed tone. After that, he ended the comlink call.
