A young girl about 10 ran through the ship where her parents told her to hide if they were attacked.. She cowered under the bed, listening to her parents screams as they were slain.. All went silent before she heard the footsteps enter the cabin.. Shmi held her breath.. As the bulkhead was ripped open and a hand grabbed her out of her hiding space.. "You will bring a pretty penny.." The Zygerrian slaver said to her, before he handcuffed her and led her from the ship.. On their ship she was thrown into a cell with the other women.. Who all glared at her.. So Shmi sat in the corner and cried.. Not long later the ship landed on Tatooine... The women and men in the cells were led from the ship to the local market place.. Where they were sold in lots to whoever would pay for them.. "Go with them." The Zygerrian said shoving her at the two Twi'lek women.. "Don't be afraid, you now have a new Master Gardulla Besadii. You will like her." One of the women said.. "Thank you." Shmi replied.. "Do not be scared.. Our Master is one of the better ones." The Twi'lek said to her.. "What do they call you?" The Twi'lek woman asked the woman.. "Shmi, Shmi Skywalker." She replied with a vacant look.. "Hello Shmi, I am Relporey.." She said.. "Hello." Shmi replied as if in auto pilot.. "Are you alright, you fell off the box?" Relporey asked Shmi.. "Yes, I do not know what came over me.. I do not usually faint." Shmi said to her.. "The Zygerrians are not known for their kindness. You may just need a drink.. I will get you some Jawa Juice when we get underway." Relporey said to her.. "Thank you, I would like that." Shami said to her.. Once they were underway, Relporey bought the drink to Shami as promised.. From there, it was a silent trip home to her new home, where she was put to work.. Shmi showed a flair for electronics, so Gardulla The Hutt put her to work there.. Her duties were to fix the and rebuild the droids she owned.... They were sold again to unsuspecting Outlanders as Relporey liked to call them.. Life went on this way for a long time for Shmi, then one day, when Shmi was 19 years old.. She was outside working with another slave woman.. When they saw two men in hoods standing watching them.. You could not see their faces, just the darkness of the hood silhouetted in the sunshine.. "What do they want I wonder?" The older woman said to Shmi.. "I don't know." Shmi replied.. Looking over at them both.. Next thing Shmi remembered was the woman standing over her slapping her face.. "You alright there?" She asked with a snicker.. "Yes.. What happened?" Shmi asked.. "You fainted." The woman replied.. "I am sorry." Shmi said as she stood, she looked around and the men were gone.. "Too much sun. Go inside." Relporey said to Shmi..
