His Maid..

We landed. 

It took like hours, but we landed and damn that house was huge. A mansion as huge as a space rocket maybe. 

I sat there in the chair, silently waiting for him to order me what to do. I sensed him look at me, and stood up. "Follow me right now, and do not try to run, or you will get punished for disobeying." He said and I stood up. 

He pushed me towards the door opening and so I got a better view of the house. So another ship landed, much smaller and pointier then his ship. A cyborg droid came out the ship and walked towards the both of us. "Lord Dooku, I see you got a new apprentice." His deep raspy voice said, wheezing afterwards. His lungs were so damaged.

"She's no apprentice, General. She is my maid. She will do as she is told, and if not, she will get punished, like all slaves should be threatened." Dooku, the elderly male said to the cyborg. So his name is Dooku, and the cyborg is a general? This is going to be hard.

I kept silence during their talk, and looked around. I saw the giant cliff from the landing platform and saw so many small trees. I looked at them before walking to the little trees and sitting on the ground, looking at the cute trees. 

"Slave what are you doing?" The man asks as he turned to me. "Oh sorry sir, I just admire these little trees. I haven't seen them in weeks." I say and looked back at the trees admiring the small bugs in the dirt and on the leaves.

"You are already getting too much freedom for a slave, get here." He demanded and I sighed and got up, slumbering next to the man.

"Sorry sir.." I said and looked down, to afraid to look them in the eyes. "She behaves strange for a slave." The cyborg said and coughed right after he wheezed. "The men there said they didn't recognize her ship and the electronics." The older man said continuing the story with this general.

I turned away again admiring the view and looking at the cliff. I was a bit taken away almost taking a step forward. "Sir, can I soon get to look at the cliff, to admire the view?" I ask and look down, fiddling my fingers in each others. 

I felt both of them stare down at me, and just stare. "Depends if you do your work good enough." The older man answered and I look down. "I will do my work just as you order me sir." I answer and look down.

The cyborgs eyes were nailed on me, and I liked his presence. Really calming, relaxing, just like rain on the window.

"Can I say something?" I ask and looked up to the both men. I was cold in just some shorts and a shirt, and felt slighly uncomfortable. "Of course, ask." The men went, and I looked behind me and down again.

"I feel relaxed around his presence, just like rain on a window, at evening. Will he be around more often?" I just say without thinking. I felt a growl or purr like sound coming from the cyborg. "Is this some sick joke!?" He yelled I covered my face in protection, in case I got hit.

"Don't touch her General, she is serious, I feel it." The men said, protecting me. "I am sorry.. I won't talk unless ordered.." I said, looking down, not looking up anymore. I zoned out thinking back of my past feeling myself tear up.

"Let's get inside, the General and you will be assigned to a mission for a few days. He and you will get along somehow. It was brave of you to say such a foolish thing, in front of a deadly Jedi killer." He said as I looked around. 

"Shit, where is my bag? It has my stuff in it." I say and looked down. "You are easily distracted, you need to focus on a few certain things." The man said and looked down at me. "Your bag is inside your room." He said and opened the door. 

"I felt comfortable around the cyborg. His eyes gave a warm feeling, and his strength made me safe.." I softly answered and tears welled up. "I trust people too easy, I shouldn't.." I add and stopped talking.

No word was spoken until we reached my room. "I will let you take a shower and put on some easy wearables. Tomorrow you will start by cleaning the house, and after you finished you will cook something for me and yourself and you will sleep, you get it? Droids wake you up at the time you have to start." He ordered me.

"Sir, where can I find the showers and where can I find the cleaned stuff?" I ask and waited for an answer. "The droids will lead and answer your questions, I will be busy with a few meetings, you will not come near me unless ordered." He answered and walked away leaving me alone with one battle droid.

"Follow me slave." He said and I followed.

My life is now a slave instead of a normal life. Maybe another planet was a better option.
