A Rose is a Rose

          I quickly rush into the PA system booth, kicking out the man in the station, and plug in mp3 player I'd gotten on High Day, turning on my favourite playlist and turning the volume all the way up; I lock the door on my way out so that nobody can get in. I run down the hallway, humming along to the song, ignoring the fading sound of pounding footsteps behind me. Glancing behind me as I turn a corner, then looking back in front of me, I nearly run into Master Ren (who I'm supposed to be shadowing 😅), let out a small "Oh!" of surprise, and slide under him, coming up directly behind him as Vader comes around the corner. The music shuts off and Vader sheaths his lightsaber; he begins to scold Ren for my behaviour and I step out from behind him.

          "Pardon my boldness, sir, but it's quite the contrary, it was all my fault; my own actions and decisions, not his." "You would do well to hold your tongue!" I nod and step back. "You're lucky she spoke up for you... again... but you need to learn how to defend yourself, my grandson." "He does." Vader turns to me, and I can feel the annoyance rolling off of him. "Sorry, sir, I had to be honest." He calms down a bit at my explanation but sends me to reconditioning anyway; I turn briskly and walk away, keeping in mind that this was for Liam, and head back to my sector.

Sorry for the short chapter! I haven't done anything recently and I feel bad so I wanted to get something out before my sister kicks me off the computer.

Bye for now,
