WHAT IS REAL

XXXIX

The cabinet was stocked with all kinds of things a man would need to get ready for his day, and yes there was something for his headache. Kitster made his way back into the room, but stopped suddenly as he noticed a man dressed in black sitting in the chair. He neither heard the door open nor the man walk into the room. He almost fell backwards in shock but caught himself against the wall. He suddenly realized that he was in the last place he ever wanted to be.

Kitster knew who the man in the chair was and inwardly he swore. "Oh Sith Spawn! What did I do to deserve this!" Vader just eyed him with his cold blue eyes, and the silence stretched out until Kitster thought he was going to die from the silence. He knew that Vader used to be his best friend Anakin Skywalker and he thought maybe if that boy was anywhere inside this man maybe he really could talk to him.

"Anakin Skywalker, I never thought I would ever see you again."

A flash of yellow appeared to fill the ice blue eyes, and Kitster knew he had made a serious mistake. He backed up to get farther way from Vader, but he hit the wall instead. He thought something was going to happen to him but just that quick it was gone and Vader planted a smile on his face.

" Because you are my old friend I will let that slip this once, but that man does not exist any more so DO NOT use that name again." Vader said through his "plastic" smile.

Oh How could I be so stupid? I am dead for sure now, Kitster thought. Out loud he said, "Yes Lord Vader, I am sorry."

"Come sit, Kister. You look like you could fall over with a breath of wind. I need to talk to you."

Kitster cautiously walked over to the bed. He was thrilled to be sitting again. He did not know how he had made it through that conversation without falling over. Kitster would not look at Vader but Vader was used to that so he just started talking.
