Along The Stars (Vadaphra ship - Vader X Dr. Aphra)

Chapter 3 : Fair And Square.

Looking into the void of space,all I could do was think.Think about Vader...the Sith...aim for revenge and get motivated by their anger.

''Revenge is one hell of a motivator...''

''You are CORRECT.'' He'd said with empahsis.

Which leads me to the question,why would a Sith Lord hire bounty hunters ? Not just Fett,but the other ones too! That was the reason behind steling thos Imperial Credits from Anthan 13.To pay them. Shame I didn't get a cut but I'm alive so,that's fair enough. I like how Lord Vader and I help each other. I provide him with everything he asks and he helps me - help him with clues he gets from the inside. I'd say we make quite the team ! Plus, I NEVER FAIL, especially when the pice of failure is...lethal.

''Contact me only when you have succeeded. If you do not contact me within a month, I will contact YOU.That is not something you would enjoy.'' Vader told me with a severe tone. My mind made it seem more suggestive than it actually was. 

And finally,last nught,was my final meeting with The Ante on Anthan Prime,where as it looks like, Lord Vader's mission got intertwined with him own on behalf of the Galactic Empire.The reason was me. I jeopardised the whole thing.It was MY FAULT. But I managed,like I always do. That was,until I found Vader in my way.

''Hi boss.This is tight but I can get away.We have--''

''Do not struggle.''

I mean WHAAAAA? I had no clue what he meant by that,although I can confirm I would like those words spoken to me under other circumstances. The pressure around my neck gave me a real reality check as I was struggling to breathe,with my heart pounding in my chest.

''I know where the boy is...'' I said in an attemp to save my skin.

''Tell me.''

''I will...later.'' That bought me some time. But this feels so wrong...

He finally deactivated his lightsaber.I wanted to apologise but he interuppted me.

''I--''

''SILENCE. You will answer for this.''

Even though I could feel his frustration hovering in the air,he did use the forse to shadow me from the incoming imperials so I could get away. That's where we parted. I got on the ship and started worrying about the storms to prevent myself from angry-crying,until I faced the Imperial blockade.It was teriifying until they started retreating and leaving. Thank you Lord Vader, I said to myself. 

And there I was. In the cave,terrified of what happens next. Triple-zero thought that manipulating Vader like that was wrong. Even he said that,so I imagine I was in trouble again.He had no idea what it felt like for me. Being so helpless with your life hanging from a thread. A thread in Vader's hands...

A part of me felt good for doing that,though. Momentarily getting the upper hand,when thought impossible,unthinkable. But, it meant that I would get to live a little longer. On the other hand,it felt so wrong. I feel heartbroken without even having any f-- NO! I-impossible!                                       I have feelings for him!?
