"Luna stay strong!"

the words were stuck in her head, the last words her mother ever said to her, it had been 8 years sense her mother was sold to a different master but she would still cried over it and sometimes she would cry herself to sleep just thinking about it, now she sat on the floor thinking about her mother when the tears begin to run down her cheeks, she quickly wiped them away, at the age of 14 she knew better for if her master found her crying he would punish her

"Slave!" yelled a man, she shot up and wiped her eyes "Yes master?" she asked. "Hurry up and get those drinks" his voice was harsh and cruel "Yes master" she said running up the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed the tray that had cups filled full of blue liquid, she started thinking about her childhood, sense the day she was born she had always been a slave, never knowing what it was like outside the planet of Nal Hutta, she started to run down the stairs but slipped and fell spilling the cups all over the place just as her master came around the corner, "Oh you stupid stupid girl!" he yelled grabbing her by the arm and jerking her up onto her feet "You stupid girl" he yelled again landing a blow on her face "I'm sorry master, please forgive me" she pleaded trying to block "You need to learn not to mess stuff up!" he hit her again "Now go get more" he said throwing her on the steps "Y..yes master" she said jumping up with tears welding up in her eyes and running up the stairs to grab more. She was boiling with anger and hate for her new master whom she had been sold to just two years ago, as she pour more of the blue liquid into the cups she thought about what it would be like to be free and away from this place and away from her horrible master, she touched her face where he had hit her, it felt hot and it hurt, she boiled with anger as she picked up the tray and started slowly down the stairs then walked down the hallway and around a corner were her master was waiting, He grabbed her by the arm "Now you be good and make sure to smile" she nodded and he let go of her, she walked out and started offering people drinks, she gave a Twi'lek a drink. She looked around and saw a man in the corner who's top half of his face was covered by his hood but she could see the bottom half of his face which looked like red and black tattoos, out of curiosity she slowly walked over stopping a few times for people who wanted drinks until she was right next to him "A pity really" she heard him say softly, she spun around and looked at the man "Are you talking to me?" she asked, the man spoke back "You have so much hate and potential" he sighed "and it could be used for something greater then serving drinks" he reached out his hand and grabbed a drink "It is truly a pity" he sipped his drink and sighed again, Luna look at the ground then back up to him "What do you mean?" she asked, the man smirked "You are strong with the force and could prove to be very powerful" the mans voice lowered "So powerful that you could escape this place and never return" he sipped his drink again "Powerful" the words stuck in her head, she wanted to know more "And how would I get so powerful?'' she asked "I would teach you" his cup slowly started rising in his hand, Luna gasped "You mean I could do that?" she asked "This and more" he said with a grin "When can learn?" she asked with wide eyes "Soon" he said placing the empty cup on the tray "Soon" Before she could say anything else her master called her "I.. I have to go" she said walking away. by the time she reached her master and turned around he was gone, she scanned the room for him but it she could already tell he had left, her heart sank as she thought that she would never leave this place, that he was just lifting her spirits only to crush them "for fun probably" she thought but her mind was in a whirl "Why had he left after he said he could train her?, after he said she was so much more?" but her thoughts were interrupted as her master barked orders at her "Go get more drinks and bring out some food while you're at it!" she bowed low "Yes master" her mind raced again" would she ever become powerful like he said?" as she walked out of the room her heart sank again as she wondered if the man would ever come back for her.
