Chapter 5

Avoiding slamming into a storm trooper who was heading out the door, you headed to wait in line for your food. There weren't many people there. A few nurses, storm troopers, some from bridge and a radar tech. With the tray in hand you head to a empty table and sit down. The food was a paste like and of different colors. It was tasted bland but it was enough to pass as food from the first order.

You stirred the orange paste with your spoon as you thought about your encounter with Ren and odd one from Hux. Out of all the two people to attract attention to, why did it have to be two of the most important people in the first order. You mixed two of the paste together as you were lost in thought. You didn't feel like eating anymore, your stomach felt sour. How did this day end up like this? Just yesterday the day was a normal day and now....you hope both there mission on Jakku were a long one. They made you feel nervous and alittle scared.

Sighing you stood up with your uneaten food and toss it out. You decided to head back to your quarters and try to get some sleep. You quickly made your way there and with a relief didn't see Commander Ren or General Hux. As the door to your quarters shuts behind you, you took a deep breath and let it out slowly. A pink light catches your eye and your eyes flicked to it. What looked like a rose made cruelly with metal laid on the table next to your cot. Pink light shimmered from the metal petals and cast pink shadows on the walls.

In a daze you walk to the rose and gently pick it up. It was surprisingly light and warm. You study it for awhile, turning it this way and that. It was so pretty, you couldn't take your eyes off of it. Something brown caught your eye, a small folded piece of paper you missed was also on the table. You set the rose down gentle and picked up the piece of paper. Opening it slowly you see neat cursive in red ink on the page.

"Soon my pet." It read. You let the paper fall out of your hand. Without realizing it you found yourself sitting on your cot with the rose in your hand. You let it also fall out of your hand and it landed with a soft thud on the cot. Closing your eyes you laid near the wall and tried to calm nerves. This is has to be a dream, you just wanted to wake up from this bizarre nightmare. A part of you did like the attention from the Commander but you would not admit it. You heard the commander had no problem getting any woman he wanted, you would not fall for any of his tricks. Surprisingly he was a bit of a man whore, shuddering you hugged yourself. Your eyes grew heavy and you let yourself fall asleep.

A loud knock startled you awake. You leaned up and slide out of your cot and rubbed your face. What time was it?

You slowly walked over and yawned as you pushed the button next to the door. The door opened with a hiss and a lone storm trooper stood in front of you. The trooper took a step forwarding into the room, making you quickly back up until your back legs hit your cot. The trooper seem to look around the room and turned back to you.

"MS-0908?" Asked the trooper in its mechanical voice. You nodded not keeping your eyes off them. Also nodding they stepped away from the door and tilt there head to the door. "Follow me" Confused you slowly walked past the trooper and out your door. They walked behind you and nudge you in the back with there blaster. "Move." They grunted. You complied and started walking down the hallway.

"Where are you taking me?" You asked in a meek voice. Another nudge in the back made you not ask another question. Walking down a few more halls, you turn to see only one black door at the end of one hall. The air felt colder down this hallway so you rubbed your arms as you approached the door. The trooper stepped from behind you and press the black button next to the door. The door opened with a hiss and you were nudge again to move. Inside the room the walls, floor and ceiling were black. A black couch with a chair sat near the wall at the far side of the room with a window. There were two doors that were on the right side of the room and a kitchen on the left.

You stood looking around the room, unaware that the trooper left. Walking to the window you stared at the stars. Whoever had this room was very important. Your job didn't allow you go sit and gaze. So to be able to now was a treat. Turning from the window you went to ask the trooper a question but frowned seeing him gone. Not surprised you walked to the couch and sat down. Why were you here? Who room was this? Your eyes widen. Please don't let this be Commander Ren room or even General Hux. Your thoughts were interrupted by the hiss of the door. A trooper in sliver armor stepped in. Your blood went cold. It was Captain Phasma. You saw her on the bridge and knew she ruled with a iron fist. She scared you and you seen what happened when someone crossed her. She stood there for a second. After the door shut she made her way over to the couch.

You scooted to the other end of the couch as she sat down. Raising her hands she gripped her mask and pulled it off. You never seen her without her mask. She had pale skin with long blonde hair sat the mask next to her. She pushed the loose hairs from her face and turned to look at you. She stared at you coldly with her icy blue eyes. You felt warm crawl up your neck and you kept your eyes on the floor. A few mintues of silence and she spoke coldly. "We need to talk."
