Captured By Darth Vader

Scrambled eggs

Some days later, Darth Vader came into my cell again. This time he was alone, he had a plate of scrambled eggs and a big glass of water in his hands. He left the plate and the glass on the ground, close to my mattress.

I didn't have the strength to stand up, so I just stayed seated on my mattress. I hadn't eaten in a few days and that was starting to affect my health, I was getting weaker, and I had trouble falling asleep because of how hungry I was.

Darth Vader stood in front of me, his imposing body towering over me.

"Eat." He ordered.

I wasn't sure if I should be eating, the food could be poisoned. My hunger was increasing with every second that passed, but eating the scrambled eggs was too risky, what if he put something in there so I'd talk?

"I said eat!" He was losing his patience, which scared me a bit, but I had to stay strong. I'd rather die from hunger than letting him find out where the Jedi were, it was still too early to let him know.

"I will not be eating that!" I replied fiercely at his order.

"Oh, is Lillian a picky eater? Would you rather die than eat?!" He asked, at first it sounded sarcastic, although his tone changed into a rather annoyed tone afterwards. I was not a picky eater and considering my state I would eat anything but poisoned food. Was he really expecting me top trust him, after what he had done?

"No, but how can I trust you that this is not poisoned?" I asked him suspiciously.

"You will just have to, I am not letting you die, not yet. " He replied.

That made me trust him even less, the things that I just heard sounded way too nice to be said by Vader, he would kill me at any opportunity he had.

Instead of shouting something back at him, I decided to stay silent and wait for his reaction. I wasn't strong enough to argue with him, neither was I strong enough to receive any more punches. I was sure one punch would be enough to knock me out right now.

"I see, you won't eat on your own." He said after a while. What did he mean by that, was he going to feed me?

He took off his gloves to take out his comlink and dial a number into it, I couldn't figure out who the person he was calling was, but I was hoping it wouldn't be Darth Esvietis, or even worse, Darth Sidious. I was sure they would tell him to just kill me right here.

"Send two Stormtroopers to cell number 4." He said to the unknown person on the other side of the line. Those Stormtroopers were probably coming to beat me up again. 

This was probably the end of me, why was I so stupid to think I could actually destroy the Death Star without being caught. I got myself into this situation because of my foolishness.

In some minutes of pure silence, Darth Vader removed his helmet, to reveal his beautiful complexion, before I could think about him any longer, the door opened and two Stormtroopers came into the room.

"Take her, press her against the wall." Darth Vader told them. What?! What was he going to do to me?

The Stormtroopers pinned me against the wall, holding both my hands and feet. I tried to resist and move as much as I could, but my body was too weak and the Stormtroopers too strong for it to work. I also couldn't use my force, since the arrows on my wrists impeded it.

Darth Vader took my chin with one of his soft and warm hands to make me face him. His grip was so tight it hurt a bit. With his other hand, he grabbed the fork on the plate and scooped up some scrambled eggs.

He guided the fork near my mouth. I refused to open my mouth, so he tightened his grip around my chin and yaw even more. That made me scream out in pain.

The moment I opened my mouth to let out a sound, I felt the cold metal of the fork in my mouth. When I realised what just happened, the fork was back out of my mouth and I was left with the scrambled eggs.

I wanted to spit it in his face, but he was already holding my mouth shut with both of his hands.

"Swallow it, Lillian, be a good girl for once." He said to me looking at me, his face was only a few inches away from mine, and I could feel his warm breath touching my face.

When Vader noticed I wasn't going to obey him, he held my nose shut, making me unable to breathe, unless I swallowed the food. So that's what I did. I swallowed the food and opened my mouth gasping for air, I took a large breath before Darth Vader, put the fork down my throat again.

He did that until I finished the whole plate of scrambled eggs. I was exhausted and breathing heavily. The Stormtroopers let me go and started leaving the room. They didn't seem affected or traumatised about what just happened, perhaps this was normal around here. 

Darth Vader took the glass of water and held it my direction. After the salty scrambled eggs, I had no choice but to take the glass. I finished the big glass of water in just a few seconds. He didn't even need to say a single word for me to take the glass and from his expression I could tell he was more than happy about it.

He put on his gloves and helmet again, preparing to leave my cell and leave me alone. I hated him, I really did, why wouldn't he just let me die, so he could kill me? He was the cruellest man I had ever met in my life.

He took the empty glass of water and started leaving the cell.

The door opened and as he was about to go out he turned around and looked at me, or at least that's what I think, I couldn't see his eyes because of the helmet.

"Good girl, Lillian." He said. Then he proceeded to leave the room, leaving me alone, reflecting about what just happened. I was especially thinking about the last sentence that came out of his mouth.
