    rose Chapter 1 rose

Mara Jade - 10 B.B.Y.

I don't mean to brag.
But why does Palpatine slap me everytime I tell him I tell him
I have ... "taken care of" another stupid Rebel?
He should be HAPPY to hear that Vader's training of me is paying off.
However, everytime I come home. "Master, I have killed two more today."

"Good," *slap* "Go get some rest."
He could at least smile (or not, spare us the sight. Eww...),
or laugh (um, on second thought...) or pat me on the back. Why a slap?
I'll show him. Tomorrow, I'll come home, and I won't let him slap me.

I won't.





Mara Jade - 10 B.B.Y.

Today, I came home and ducked.
Palpatine didn't get mad, or try to slap me again.
He just laughed and said that I was finally ready. For what, I wonder?
My training was intensified. I'm starting to forget things; memories;
of my old life. Of my mother, Sab'e, of my father ... whose name I know not.
I do know; however, that I am strong in the Force. Vader and Palpatine have both told me so.
Darth Vader first realized it when he was training me, a year ago.
I asked him why he felt sad, and he answered me coldly that I mistook frustration at my
attention skills for sadness. But I knew he was sad! Vader realized that I could sense
his feelings, and told Palpatine immediately. I switched from training to be a common Imperial
Guard, to trainging to become an assassin; the Emperor's Hand. I'll be the only one,
and I'll get whatever I ask for. I'm 10 now, so by the time I'm 18, Palpatine promised me the planet Coruscant. People will HAVE to do what I say, or else ... I'll kill them.
The slightest resistance, and I'll kill them as mercilessly as I kill the Rebels.
I'll be a Dark Queen.





10 year old, Mara Jade, walked down the halls to the library, where her tutor, Sly Moore, awaited her. "Why am I here, again, Moore?" She sauntered in.

"To learn everything your small, little pate can store," Sly said coldly. Mara rolled her eyes.

"And you're sure my brain won't explode?"

Sly smiled. "There's only one way to find out."

"Yeah, go test it on Vader," Mara stated. Sly caught the joke.

"Very funny, Jade. Just for that, you lose desert."

"What!?"

"Do you want to lose dinner as well?"

"Noooo...." Mara pouted.

"If you are to become the Dark Queen of Coruscant, you must study," Sly said sardonically. Mara's mouth dropped open. "Yes, Mara, I know your desire. I know everything."




Mara Jade - 10 B.B.Y.

It's nearly been six months since I've last written, and much has happened.
But it can be summarized: I have been given the rule of half of Coruscant.
It won't be long now. I have 7 years, then, I shall become the Dark Queen of Coruscant.
And eventually, the Galaxy.

I will show everyone who's ever doubted me.
I shall become the darkest, deadliest assassin that there ever was, or ever shall be.

I will even become skilled enough to defeat a Jedi Grand Master, if there are any left...

Announcement: PMing will be extremely hard for me, considering the fact that unread messages have added up to 100 over the year that I've been here. If you would like to receive a notice that this 'fic has been updated, please PM me your email address. I will send out emails one at a time so that no one else can see your real name, or your email address. Thank you!

    rose Chapter 2 rose

Mara entered the gym and walked to where Vader was standing. "Is this an unscheduled lesson?"

"No, it's your first important mission, Jade," Vader breathed. "You shall assassinate the Jedi youngling names Siri Olin. She is the daughter of an ex-Jedi names Ferus Olin."

"Where is she? Is she on Coruscant?"

Vader smiled behind his mask. "This is your misson, Mara. You only have her name and her father's. Use your knowledge of the Force and skills to track her down and annihilate her. Use whatever means you wish."

Mara smiled evilly. "Can I kill the father?"

"No," Vader said sharply. "He's mine."

"What's my payement?"

"I shall train you everything I know-"

"Not good enough-"

"And I shall tell you your father's name."

Mara set her jaw. "Very well. It shall be done."

Vader emitted an evil chuckle. "Good."




Mara sat inside the library, staring at the holoscreen; deep in thought. "Having trouble?" Sly Moore asked dryly.

"No, in fact, I was waiting for you," Mara turned towards her tutor. "You once told me you knew everything important there was to know. Prove it."

"How shall I, young one?" Moore asked the 11 year old.

"What can you tell me about a certain Jedi-in-training, Siri Olin?"

Sly smiled. "She is the daughter of ex-Jedi Ferus Olin, and Tara Narsil, who is a senator of little importance."

"Tara Narsil, where is she from?"

"Polis Massa, young one," Moore scowled. "I don't see how that will help you find Siri."

"There are no records anywhere of Siri of Ferus, but, there might be some of Tara Narsil," Mara muttered. "Do you think she'd be with her mother?"

"Siri is barely five years old, and Ferus is a Jedi. It'd be dangerous to stay with him."

"Yeah, that's why I asked," Mara stated dryly. "Okay, so ... Tara Narsil is the senator or Borleias. The capital of Borleias is Germois(*) ... but, no, who would be stupid enough to hide their child in the capital?" Mara sat back and stroked her chin. "But where on Borleias is the best place to train a Jedi? The gettos. Siri Olin is in Carru, Borleias," Jade got up and motioned to a droid. "Get my ship ready. Set coordinates for Carru, Borleias."

Sly Moore smiled as Mara walked away, and Vader came up behind her. "Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is," she whispered.

"Jade is on the right path?"

"Yes," Moore nodded slowly. "She will lead you to your next victim."

"There will be a great reward if she succeeds this mission," Darth Vader breathed. "A very great asset to the Empire will be born."




The Jade's Fire landed quietly at a docking bay in the dead of night. The perfect atmosphere for a murder. Mara stepped out of her ship with graceful ease. "ID, please," a security guard approached her warily. "Why, you're just a kid."

Mara's eyes narrowed, and she extended her hand. The guard's neck cracked and broke; his head hung in shock. His windpipe exploded and he sank to the ground. She bent next to him. "I am not a child."

Mara crouched on the roof of Tara Narsil's house, using the Force to hear what was going on inside. "Ferus, honey, it's time to eat," she heard a woman say. Tara.

"I'll be right there, Tara. I just ... I just have a bad feeling,"
a man answered. Ferus.

"Mommy! I left my dolly outside, can I go get it?"
a girl squealed. Siri Olin; the doomed one.

"Well ... no, honey. Let your father get it,"

"No, it's alright, Tara, let her get her doll,"

"Thanks, Daddy! I'll be right back!"
Siri came running out of the house. "Dolly? Where are you?" Mara started crawling towards Siri using the Force; clinging to the wall the way a spider stalks its prey. Now, how shall I kill this one?


Suddenly, Mara remembered something Vader had said, "Leave no evidence of the Empire." Mara spotted a 4-inch pocketknife sitting on one of the run-down porches. She called it to her hand and opened it. It had just been sharpened.

"This is all too easy..."
