Darth Vader's Daughter

Catherine is sold to Demon Cuix

"I know I'm supposed to take you to the nearest detention cell. However, I know the commanding officer in charge over there and he doesn't have the time or the patience to deal with the likes of you. So what am I to do with you?"

"You could adopt me." I replied.

"Adopting you is out of the question. I'm already going to be in serious trouble if Richard ever finds out that I didn't carry out his orders to inprison you . I can't very well drop you off at the military academy since he sometimes goes there to inspect the new recruits. So the question remains what am I to do with you?"

"Me don't know siwa. It's not me place to question you or tell you what to do." I replied keeping my eyes to the ground.

"You know kid, you are smarter then Richard gave you credit for. If the circumstances were different I'd say you'd make a great officer someday." At this, I fought back tears remembering how Richard had promised to send me to the best academy the Empire had to offer when he had considered me his little princess.

"Oh now don't go crying on me. I hate to see children cry. Especially a little tyke like yourself. How old are you anyway?

"Me sowwy." I replied with a sniffle. "Me don't know."

"How can you not know?"

"We neba habe a pawty fowa me."

"You've never had a birthday party?"

"Nu. Dey only wasied (raised) me cause dey not able to habe kids. So..."

"So when their daughter was born..."

"Me was nu longa needed owa wanted. Me is two me fink."

The officer frowned. "How could Luetenent Leeson and his wife be so cruel? Your just as sweet innocent little girl." The officer sighed.

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." An officer said as he came walking up to the officer who's hand I was currently holding. "We've been given our orders we are to get on the next transport to Tattooine. Evidently, those higher up seem to think it would be a good idea to be on good terms with the Hutts." The officer replied rolling his eyes. "Why they want us to associate with scum like that is beyond me. Hay, what's with the toddler? Wait, I know you, your Luetenent Leeson's little girl Catherine right? You know your not supposed to wander around the ship. You really should head home before he gets worried."

"Me...Me... Me..." Tears welled up in my eyes and I began to whimper.

The officer who's hand I was holding jabbed his elbow in the other officer's arm. "Shut up will you?" He hissed as my lip began to tremble.

"Ow!" The other Officer frowned. "What did you do that for?"

"Catherine, sweetheart, do me a favor will you? Go take a seat over there while I have a chat with my fellow Officer."

"Otay." I replied wiping the tears that were starting to fall down my cheeks.

Officer POV

"What's your problem?" My fellow officer demanded after Catherine had walked away.

"She can't go home, she doesn't have one."
