Light in the dark

Chapter 14

Lux ran a hand through his hair with a sigh, as Violet helped herself to the food rations. Logically, he should have taken her back to the Jedi and then continued his journey for Ahsoka. Instead he foolishly brought her along, into potentially life threatening territory.

His original *undercover* plan, was disguising himself as a Death Trooper, and slowly making his way through the Star Destroyer, until he could find whatever Lord Vader was using to influence Ahsoka-still remaining defiant as Mistress Aedha. With the routine searches of ships however, there wasn't a chance he could leave Violet on board. She'd have to come with him.

As they approached the edge of their hyperspace travel, he turned to her. "Violet? How good of an actress are you?" He asked, tapping his fingers on the edge of the control board.

She looked up from munching away on some portion bread. "Yeah?..." she raised an eyebrow then shook her head. "Horrible. I got kicked out of the theater." Lux cursed under his breath, while she beamed. "So I'd love to help!" She finished with a bright smile.

As he made the final preparations for landing, he realized how bad of an idea this was. Originally, he was simply landing, and walking inside like he knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn't exactly difficult to mimic a storm trooper.

Now he had Violet, whom he couldn't get killed, yet he was taking her in as a *prisoner* on the Star Destroyer. He had considered making up a petty crime for her, so that she wouldn't be in immediate danger-but of course he remembered she was already wanted by the Imperial Army, and that they'd surely recognize her.

The ship shook slightly as they emerged from Hyperspace, with a clear view of the Super Star Destroyer that Vader was on. Seeing it sent a chill up both their spines, as Lux secured the binders on her wrists, with a shaken hope that he'd be in and out of there, with plenty of time to save Violet from the fate he was essentially sentencing her too.

Of course she'd agreed to it, but even through her strong demeanor, it wasn't hard to tell that she was terrified inside-who wouldn't be, in that case?

The ship doors slid open as they landed in the hanger bay. It was showtime.

"Commander! State your badge number and name of the prisoner!" The rough voice of a storm trooper shouted at them.

Lux took a breath. "Commander WS-107, prisoner Violet Bysar."

Hahaha I haven't updated since July. I needed to fix that whoops.
