I was shaking...I was scared to death...
Our ship just landed in an area that I believe is the new First Order base, or maybe it was a ship. I was so confused, I have completely lost track of time and space, I didn't know where I was going, where I was...I...I just went with the flow. Actually, I have no idea how I even got graduated from the academy. The only thing I knew now I was a lieutenant and with the other 9 people I was about to start my new job in The First Order.

We walked out of the ship in a perfect line and found our selves in a huge, surprisingly bright, landing area in a ship, probably Snoke's. TIE fighters were constantly landing and taking off, stormtroopers running around. Even though it looked so chaotic, things constantly moving everything changing, there was some kind of order to it. I watched as TIE's flew out making that groaning sound as they left the ship, I got so mesmerised by the whole scene that i didn't notice the few people in grey uniforms standing in front of us with datapads in their hands. I understood we were waiting for someone and soon that someone came. Yes, it was the general him self. A tall man with neatly combed ginger hair, that my father would usually make fun of ,even if he respected the guy, he hated his style of dressing , and also his great black coat, that made him seem more scary than he already was.

He stood i front of us, examining each and every one, from head to toes. I have never imagined being so close to him, seeing him in person was a completely different experience than seeing him giving those powerful speeches. I remember seeing him back in my homeland, didn't really pay attention to the stuff he was talking about, but the energy from him was mind blowing, you could see he was enjoying every moment of it, he loved being above everyone.

For a split second we made eye contact, which sent shivers down my spine. The reason of my nervousness was very simple, non like the others, I was born on a different planet called Refiroa, which, not long ago, made an alliance with The first order. That resulted in lots of people in the military being moved to The First Order and that included me. I wasn't actually planning on living a life in a military but our planet had mandatory military service , so when the alliance was made i was automatically resigned to the first order academy, even though i only had 3 months left to serve. After I got in the academy I and the others got only 2 years of training, they thought it was enough, because we had served in the military before. Therefore it would be no surprise if people would look and treat me differently from others because they were trained from birth and here I am 2 years of training saying that I'm completely loyal to The First Order even if I don't really know that.

A voice made me snap to reality.
"Hello I'm general Hux" the ginger man stated "I will ask each of you to state your name, surname and nuber and after that you will be escorted to your living headquarters"
He started from the guy on the left. The guy stated his name, surname, number, just as Hux asked, then the general read some of the information on his pad and moved to the other folk. With every person i felt my body weaken, every second i felt getting closer and closer to what seemed like death to me. I wasn't the last one, there was another guy after me, no one seemed nervous or at least they were not as much scared as me.
I was startled when a girl beside me spoke
"Anita Highland A-6223"
General again looked down at his pad nodding before moving infront of me and look right in my soul, he could totally see my nervousness.
"Aja Kavos R-42" I said trying to sound as natural as I can. Hux tilted his head a bit , like trying to figure out something and then he looked at his datapad. I saw a smirk creeping on his face
"...Refiroa..." he sighed, I didn't know what that ment, but I felt it was not good.
He kept reading and he took a bit longer with me than the others, i was not surprised by that. After some time he looked back at me, he furrowed his eyebrows like he wanted to coment something he just read but he kept it to himself and walked up to the last guy.

After the whole prosidure he instructed to folow him.
As we were walking he kept on talking
"As new lieutenants I expect the best of you as you were the ones who graduated with the highest marks..." really? I never expected, i didn't feel like one of the best, not even near best"...you will start your duties at 6 o'clock so I hope you won't be late. All of the other instructions you will find in your datapads that are in your rooms"

We finally stopped in the hallway with lots of doors, which I assume were the rooms we'll be living in.

"Captain Tollar will show you your apartments. I hope to see you all tomorrow at work"

"Yes sir!"

General walked off and somehow I calmed down, i passed the worst part of this day and now i could put aside my fears and rest in my room.

When I got into my apartment I was a bit disappointed, of course I didn't expect a big room or anything, but everything here was cold and dark,nothing like home. Maybe those who grew up in The First Order didn't see a problem with that, but i had a different thinking , this whole room was gloomy and depressing, didn't know how long will I last here without having thoughs of suicide.

All the people here seemed cold hearted, but I was completely different! I needed warmth to live I needed closness..everything that this place didn't have.
