Chapter 6 - Your walls and my walls

I walked around the room. I was getting bored. There's gotta be something interesting in this room. I opened his cabinet, nothing much, just uniforms and other sets of formal clothing with different shades of black and grey. Was everyone here required to wear black? I closed the cabinet doors and walked towards the desk. Maybe there was something there I could entertain myself with. As I reached the desk, there were so much papers. Some were blueprints, some were letters, and some were printed with very small characters that I couldn't even read them properly due to their size. I looked through the blueprints. Some were of a ship, and the others were of a weapon. I lifted one up against the light. It was a weapon. I tilted it to the left, then to the right, I didn't understand what it did. The descriptions were written in a different language.

I sighed and placed it back where it was before. I then went back to the bed and threw myself on it. A million thoughts ran through my mind.

Why did I have the force?

My dad didn't have it, my mom surely didn't. She died when I was born. My dad kept telling me stories about her, every night before we went to bed. Every day a different story. All about how they were childhood friends, and how they fell in love through the years. I could still see the light in his eyes whenever he mentioned her to me. Now, that I've lost him, the only comfort I could get was from thinking that they were together now.

And me?

I have no one.

I lay there on the general's bed, fighting back tears from falling. Until I fell asleep.

I awoke to the sound of the room door being slammed shut. I jolted up and saw the general barging in the room, marching towards his desk. He sat on his chair forcefully, then put his head in his hands. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. I watched as he continued to cover his face with his hands in frustration. I bit my lip, undecided whether to mind my own business or ask what was up with him. He groaned. Was he asking for the attention? Was I supposed to mind him? If he didn't want me to bother him then why was he acting like this?

I didn't want to do it.

I really didn't want to do it.

But, I did. Of course I did.

I went into his mind. It was going to be a onetime thing, I promised myself.

I didn't know how I did it in technicalities. All I knew was, I focused really hard, and willed my own mind to enter his. He had built up walls. He was a fighter. He didn't know or notice it, but he had defenses against his mind. How he managed to resist mental probing even though he wasn't force sensitive, I was curious to know. I didn't search deep in his mind. All I was looking for was in the shallow parts. His current thoughts right now. I didn't pry more.

Stupid, spoiled brat.

Spoiled brat? Did he have a kid?

If it weren't for his capability to use the force, he would be blasted by me personally.

Okay, he definitely wasn't talking about his kid. Or was he? I don't think he had a kid anyway.

I hope he doesn't influence this girl much. 

He sighed.

Perhaps the Supreme Leader would allow me to take custody over her. Though it would be suspicious if I, myself, asked. I will just have to wait and see. Damn Ren and his tantrums. I just had that elevator fixed, and he just had to throw a fit inside, didn't he. The sooner I get back on that base the better.
