"There's a game that I played
There are rules I had to break
There's mistakes that I made
But I made them my way"

This Night by Black Lab

● ● ● ● ●

Out of all the potential candidates for the job, they had chosen me. It wasn't just because I was the most skilled in the art of interaction and espionage, but because I was alone. All the candidates had families and loved ones, whereas I had no one. It was perfect to send someone who has no weaknesses and nothing to lose.

I would be lying if I said it didn't terrify me to be behind enemy lines. It was the first time I ever encountered the members of the First Order face to face. During my missions, I was always hidden, a shadow that tailed the target and gathered the necessary information and delivered it to the Resistance. This mission was different from all the others, this time I was thrown into the Lion's den with all eyes on me.

After submitting my application and official papers to the First Order, they contacted me in a week saying that I've been considered to be trained as an officer. I had to start somewhere. Starting from the bottom and rising up the ranks slowly was a smart way to ensure their trust in me and easily gain Intel on their latest plans and operations, namely Starkiller base. The Resistance would give anything to know the location and structure of the mass weapon.

Starting today I was a new person, a different person. Although I kept my real name Victoria Shepard since they wouldn't find anything on me in the records. I was the daughter of a nobody. I worked at a local merchant store by day and was a faceless and nameless agent by night.

"Victoria Shepard." I heard my name being called out.

This was it, I thought as I took a deep breath and stepped forward. My black boots clicked on the metal floor of the new and improved Star Destroyer. The feeling of dread slowly growing with every step I took to reach my commanding officer. However, my face was blank and my body projected an air of confidence, but on the inside I was the complete opposite.

"Welcome to the First Order."

Hearing those five words made me relax a bit. I had completed their training and now I was officially part of their government. It didn't matter that I was a low ranking officer, soon I would prove to them how skillful and trustworthy I was.

"You will be working under the command of General Hux."

A chill ran down my spine upon hearing that name. I've heard rumors about the general, how merciless and ruthless he could be. I'm not one to believe rumors, but I guess I was going to find out first hand if they were true.

"Yes, sir." I responded respectfully and waited for the announcements to be over then my mission will finally begin.

Seeing as there are only a couple of Hux fics on here, I had to write one because he deserves some love too am i right? Anywho, I chose Felicity Jones for the face of our heroine cuz I love her and think her and Domnhall Gleeson would look cute together <3 The book cover is just temporary until I find time to make another one, hopefully soon. Thank you Aint_It_Fun for helping me decide on the idea for this fic xD

Chapter One will be posted tomorrow. I would really appreciate it if you guys voted & commented your thoughts. It would mean a lot <3

P.S. do check out my other star wars fics, they're in need of some lovin' <3
