No no no. This cannot be happening! An Inquisitor? No! When I first thought about capture, I thought that I would be tortured, or something. But this is way way worse.
"Uh... Thank you sir!" I say, but I lower my voice by about an octave so that he won't recognize me.
"Renn? Are you alright? What's wrong with your voice?" The Inquisitor asks.
"Nothing sir. Just a common cold. I'll be fine..." I trail off when I realize that my voice sounds normal again.
"I hardly think so." The Inquisitor reaches out a hand and uses the Force to pry off my helmet. I gasp.
"Padawan! Now this is a welcome surprise. You are worth much more to me than some untrained Cadet. Although I wonder: Why are you here?"
I glare at him and back up. "Does it matter? I guess I'm trapped now. But my Master will know when I don't return."
"Perhaps. But by then you will either be dead, or a servant of the Empire." The Inquisitor advances on me, pressing me up against the wall. "Tell me, Padawan. How much are you afraid of me? I can feel the fear vibrating off of you. Fear for your Master, fear for yourself... But there's something else."
"Get out of my head!" I shout at him.
"Ah yes. There IS something else. What is it, Padawan?"
My head throbs. The Inquisitor holds out a hand and uses the Force to breach my defenses. But I manage to block him just in time.
"Your mental barriers are strong, boy," The Inquisitor says. He lets go of my mind. I collapse to the ground, exhausted from keeping him out. I look up to see a red lightsaber glow over my head. "Now, listen here, Padawan. Either you die here and now, or you let me escort you to a holding cell. It's your choice. Make it fast.
I can't help Crystal if I'm dead.
"Cell," I murmur.
"Smart decision." The Inquisitor deactivates his saber as 2 stormtroopers and Agent Kallus come in. The troopers grab me by the arms and pull me up.
"Jabba!" Agent Kallus exclaims. He smiles. "A wonderful surprise."
"Not for me," I mumble.
"Take him to a cell. We'll be there soon." Kallus orders.
"Sir yes sir!" The troopers drag me out of the room. I look back to see the Inquisitor smile cruelly.
"Congratulations, Padawan. You have just become a prisoner." I glare at him as the white-armoured bucketheads pull me away.

Hope you guys enjoyed! I am trying to do longer chapters since I have more time to write, what with no school. Chapter 6 up right away!
