Fire And Death [Day 14]

Luke Skywalker woke up when he smelled smoke. He didn't waste any time and jumped out of bed and rushed over to wake his sister.

"Leia! Leia! I think there's a fire!"

The twelve year old woke up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Leia!" Luke panicked.

They had been taught what to do in case of a fire but never in a million years did he think it would happen! 

Leia soon became aware of the situation and stood up and took her brother's hand. They peeked out to see the fire was relatively away from them. The twins ran out of their bedroom than out of the homestead, out into the night of Tatooine.

They waited for what seemed like hours for their aunt and uncle to come out, to tell them that everything would be alright. 

But they never came.

********

Years later Luke still had nightmares about the day their aunt and uncle died. After that, they had done whatever they could to get off Tatooine, and two years later they were bounty hunters. Sometimes they worked alone and sometimes together.

But he found it very odd when Darth Vader himself required his help. Well, he had requested both of them but Leia was already out on a different bounty. So after some discussion with his sister he left.

But the force had a thing to tell the son of the chosen one, a truth. 

The emperor had murdered his aunt and uncle.

A/N: Yep...the emperor was behind the fire. He was aiming to kill Luke and Leia too but nope that couldn't happen. Also yes Vader knows. XD Sneaky sith lord. XD Yep it's short but whatever! Hope you enjoyed!
