A Rebel Dream ~ Star Wars Fan Fiction

The Rebellion

Authors note: This is a longer chapter and
so are the rest for the middle section and one of them had to be slit in half so it is not as long. If you have been enjoying the book so far I would love to know your thoughts. If so the rest of the book is really interesting and my favorite parts to write (was the pre-ending). I even have one timed to a song but I will tell you at the beginning which chapter it is in the authors note in the beginning. On top of that the release of my new book is coming and will be on my instagram tomorrow then I will introduce it on here though I will not start posting the chapters that I wrote until the rest of this book is all posted. In this chapter it introduces a new character and he was really fun to create and build his involvement in the plot. So enjoy ☺️!! (Sorry very long authors note, lol)

I opened my eyes squinting at the sun that glistened across the courtyard as steam rolled over. As soon as we were out of the building the sweat begin to boil up behind my neck forming tiny water droplets. The sweat was simmering in the broad afternoon and every time I stepped I could feel the heat press through my shoes. I breathed in heavily and despite all the heat it was the first time I had been outside without having cuffs latched around my arms.

It was a small taste of freedom, just a small but none the less freedom. We continue to walk and my breaths became ragged as my energy was beginning to deplete. I wanted to take a small breather but I knew the stormtroopers would not do that. We came to a halt as I knew we'd reached the destination. They pulled me out of the way punching the code into the door. It whistled open cold air steamed out of the building, which quickly dried up the sweat and I became relaxed. The stormtroopers pushed harder as they begin digging into my shoulder blade. Another door opens revealing a conference room, I puzzled in the sense this is hardly what I expected the day to turn out being. The troopers pushed me into the room and resealed the door back up. People poured into the room from all different directions as I noticed familiar faces of people that I trained with. They began to take their seats in the semi circle that inclosed the room. A data pad Instantly lit up shining a blue fluorescent light across the room. I stayed in the back of the room standing as did many others as I glanced around trying to get a good look. On the far right hand of the rooms was Josh, we had met on several occasions during training. He was never like anyone else here who cared about power or gaining something, he had something more, as he was full of sentiment than lust and inward objectives. I stared at him and got his attention and in return he nodded his head at me. A warm feeling overcame me, something I haven't felt in a longest of times, as it slipped back away. An older man stepped out on the podium and begin addressing the crowd. His voice rang familiar to me which sent a wave of fear and chills spiraling down my body.

"Greetings, lieutenants, guards, and high ranking officials, I am Grand Moff Takin of the empire."

He spoke and I noticed a lot of people all already beginning to be drawn towards him as every word could inspired people. Nobody in the Empire could ever inspire anyone especially when I've seen the true inspiration radiate through the ways of the rebellion. Then my eyes lit up in the realization "Tarkin" I repeated it out loud to myself in the form of a whisper. He was the one who was with Vader when I was held hostage on the cruiser. I exhaled, stories about him always floated around most not good but I remembered one where it was mentioned he worked closely with the emperor. When you were young and your parents were part of the Senate you were introduced to Palpatine. It was a memory I would've liked to forgot as it was buried it deep within my mind. Being around the emperor was this feeling that you were dying under his cold clammy breath and it terrified me. Tarkin the continued his speech.

"You are gathered here today on unexpected circumstances. These reasons being you have all worked extremely hard and will be moving up in rank and assigned to a new leading Moff and Commander."
