I like the angle. Will she ever get her memory back? When did the capture take place? Was it before cloud city or was it after? Nice mystery.
Please add me to a PM list if you have one.

Sweet start! I'm not a huge fan of first person narratives but you're pulling this one off nicely. If you're keeping a PM list I'd love to be on it!

shock worried Yikes! Poor Leia!! cry cry I had a feeling it was her! Wondering what will happen next... confused Don't keep us wondering too long! wink
Your feeling was right! Hope you like this next chapter!
Jade_eyes
Wow! She's forgot everything!!!!!!! shock shock You can be a pawn and/or duped in less than a minute that way!!
Yep. Everything. Yeah, it's pretty much a clean slate for Leia. So far...
DarthJainaSolo
Oh...this can't be good. Does Vader know that Leia is his daughter?
Great job!
No, he doesn't. Not yet, anyway... SHUT IT, SERENA!!! Just pretend you didn't hear that.
Jedi_Master_Cazz
This is intriguing! I'd love a pm for this to see where it goes!
Cheers
Intriguing, huh? Wow, thanks.
snowspeeder_gunner
Whoa, she is pretty messed up! And Vader was seeming to be a little bit gentler there towards the end.
Good news for you - it's still intense! Keep it up!
Yeah, poor Leia. Vader's got a soft spot for Leia... we all know it. She reminds him of Padme. Still intense! YEEE HAAA!!
Toki-chan
Cool man.
Great update.
I especially loved how you phrased how she was in a particular situation.
What time period is this?
Thanks, dude. Thanks, I'm glad you liked the phrasing. I have a hard time expressing what I think a lot. This is just after Empire Strikes Back, right when Shadows of the Empire is supposed to be taking place. ROTJ probably won't be happening in this universe.
KELIA
Oooohhh creepy!
I hope Leia isn't going to be fooled into thinking Vader is going to help her, though I am impressed he is treating her so gently. At least for now.
Great update
Well, Leia doesn't have much of an idea of what Vader is, but we'll see how it plays out. Maybe Anakin's starting to shine through, hm?
JediNat
This is GREAT applause please update soon praying
Thanks!
MotionWright
This sounds like a very interesting plot in the making. PM me when you update, please.
Certainly!
Jeditheskyisblue
I agree this plot looks promising.
Thanks!
star_writer24
This is awesome! Hope you update soon.
Why thank you!

Uh-oh... Poor amnesic Leia!
Still this is a promising start. And at least Han and Luke are up there in the header so they're not dead... right? worried
Is there a PM list?
Yeah, everyone's feeling sorry for her. Me, too. Yes, Han and Luke are not dead. They will be main characters in this story. Yes, there is a PM list.
padawan_learner86
Great start! applause (Yah, I guessed right on Leia) It's a nice change to see Leia as the one with amnesia who ends up in Vader's clutches. I sort of hope the Padmé factor will help her out in the end. Then again, she does have Anakin's temper... so this is bound to be good. Oh, what I loved the most: Leia instinctively using the Force - awesome. happy
Could you please add me to the PM list?
Yes, you guessed right on Leia. With the Padme factor, you've hit it straight on the head. You've got the right idea there. Vader w/ Anakin's temper vs. Leia w/ Padme's senator act and Anakin's temper... hmm. I'd go for Leia, personally. Glad you liked Leia using the Force!!
FriskyFishy
cool
I must say I am extremely interested.
This father-daughter relationship has always been quite intriguing, as well as sad. It will be fun to see where you'll decide to go with this.
Very nice!
*Two thumbs up*
Thanks! Yeah, I've always thought it was sad that Leia never got to speak to Anakin before he died. I love Leia/Anakin centered stories. Their bond has such strong potential.
JediNat
*waits for a new post*
Add me to the PM List to!!
peace
Okay! Hey, have I seen you before?
PadawanMom5610
I really like this. It reminds me of a completely different story, one of my favorites, but with Vader and Luke in a similar situation. I love stories about Vader and his children. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this. Please add me to your PM list.
Thanks! Yeah, I've seen Luke/Vader stories like this before, one where Vader got the amnesia. But there are very few Leia/Anakin centered fics, a real shame.
KrystalBlaze
This is absolutely stunning. Please, please add me to your PM list. I don't want to miss a post.
Stunning? Really? Wow!
Meredith_Kenobi
That was.......wow! Absolutely stunning. applause I couldn't wait to see what happened next! And I certainly can't wait now.
Please add me to your PM list!
Another "stunning!" HOLY FORCE!! Thank you!
LeiaLovesHan
PLEASE ADD ME TOO!!!
Fantastic start! Totally something I would do to Leia myself *evil grin* That poor girl...
Thanks!
Ocelotl_Nesto
I like the angle. Will she ever get her memory back? When did the capture take place? Was it before cloud city or was it after? Nice mystery.
Please add me to a PM list if you have one.
Will she ever get her memory back? Wait and see. The capture took place shortly after Empire Strikes Back. After Cloud City.
EGKenobi
Good stuff grin
Please PM me when you update this.
Thank you.
Darth_Marrs
Sweet start! I'm not a huge fan of first person narratives but you're pulling this one off nicely. If you're keeping a PM list I'd love to be on it!
Thank you! Glad you like this 1st person narrative - it's hard for me, trying to capture all the emotions and thoughts of a character as big as Leia. And her with amnesia, it's even harder.
JediNat
UP!!!
Sorry I like to up things and I up often
YOU AGAIN!!!
Next postie up soon, people!! Thanks for all of the wonderful responses!!

RE: Alive - Leia, Vader, Luke, Han - AU post ESB - Drama, Romance, Angst, Action/Adventure
ALIVE
Anakin! Anakin! NO!
Stop! Come back! I love you!
You turned her against me!
You were my brother, Anakin!
I bolted upright, my chest heaving. My body was covered in sweat, and the sheets were tangled around me. The starlight only lighted the room, and as my breathing became normal, I rolled over and pulled myself to the edge of the bed and leaned over. What had happened? What did I see? Who was talking? Was it just a dream? Was it memories of my past? And who was Anakin?
I shook my head, sighed, and rubbed my eyes as I stood up slowly, shakily, only to fall back with a cry onto the bed. “Shavit!” I cursed. I paused. Where did I learn that word?
This was driving me insane. I needed to think about something else. I glanced to the nightstand and realized that I had forgotten to name myself. I shuddered and took the datapad up in my hand. I didn’t know my own name. That was terrifying. I sucked in a breath and flicked on the datapad and began scrolling down the list of names. Eventually, I came up with a few particular ones that had caught my eye. But I wasn’t sure which one to choose. I’d ask Vader.
But first, I needed a shower. I looked around for a ‘fresher and decided that the open doorway to the right of the bed on the other side of the room must be the ‘fresher. I knew that I couldn’t walk on my own, so I knelt down, holding in another cry of pain, and dragged myself into the ‘fresher. Once inside, I pulled myself up to the sink, flicked on the lights, and, still looking down at the sink, mentally prepared myself. I would be looking into my face for the first time since I had lost my memories. Maybe I would remember something when I saw myself. Would I be disappointed? Was I pretty? My eyes climbed their way up to the mirror, and I stared at myself.
Kriff, I looked terrible. My face was pale – too pale, I think – and bruised around the upper cheekbones. To accentuate this fine look, dark patches of skin that revealed how exhausted I was encircled my confused, plain brown eyes. I leaned forward and touched my face. I had brown eyes. Plain brown hair, too. I reached up and felt my hair that was currently a disaster in a messy braided bun. I made a disgusted face, then a smile, then I raised my eyebrows to see how I looked in the different positions. I reached up and pulled my hair, which to my surprise was extremely long, down and out from the ruined braid. It fell to my waist and was thick. I didn’t like it that long.
After I took a long shower that made me feel warm and so much better, I fished around the cabinet for scissors or something along those lines to cut my hair. I found a pair and then thought about how long I wanted to keep it. Deciding that I’d make it touch my shoulders, I cut it off.
Afterwards, I managed to crawl back into the bedroom, where I searched for clothing. I could only find dark grey pants that were too big and a plain grey tunic, but it was better than the shift I’d been wearing.
“Are you feeling better?”
I turned to see Vader standing in the doorway. I smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes, thank you.” I began to pull myself back onto the bed, and I was grateful when he came up behind me and helped to do so.
“You should not strain yourself,” he said.
“I know,” I said shamelessly, “but I needed a shower.” I ran a hand over my wet hair.
He stared at me for a minute. “You cut your hair?” He sounded incredulous.
I nodded uncertainly. “Yeah. It was too long. I don’t know why I let it grow like this, but I like it a lot better now that it’s shorter.” Tired from the crawl to and from the ‘fresher, I rubbed my sore, aching legs. “I have some names,” I said rather shyly. “Do you want to hear them?”
“Very well.”
“Okay,” I said. “My choices are…” I grabbed the datapad. “Aisha… Sabe… and Leia and Padmé.” I looked up at him and was astonished to find that he had frozen, and his breathing had stopped. “Vader? Are you all right?”
His breathing began again slowly. “What is your… your final choice?” He eventually asked, although it seemed hard for him to speak.
I shrugged, blushing. “I don’t know. I’m leaning towards Leia…” Without a second’s notice, I found a sudden rush of emotions burst into me: love, hate, rage, grief – but just as soon as it had come, it flashed by. I put a hand to my head. “What… what was that?” I whispered.
Vader came closer. “What is it?”
“I… I don’t know.”
He stood by me for a moment until I shook my head.
“I’ve chosen,” I told him suddenly. He tensed.
“Aisha,” I said. “My name is Aisha.”
Vader looked at me through his visors for an extended pause. “Do you know what that name means?”
I shook my head. “No. What?”
“It means… alive.”
THIRD PERSON POV
Admiral Piett was a loyal servant of the Empire. He always had been. He served Lord Vader primarily, and then the Empire and Emperor second. He knew that was most likely treasonous, but he felt that it was his obligation, his moral code to serve his commander and crew before anyone else. He would support Lord Vader’s decisions, whatever they were, and follow the Dark Lord dutifully.
“Admiral.” A young lieutenant handed him a datapad. “The smugglers on Ord Mandell have left the area, but we’ve managed to acquire some additional data on the Rebels.”
“Good, Lieutenant. Dismissed.”
The lieutenant bowed shortly and left the bridge.
Piett turned back to gazing at the stars. This was more of Vader’s forte, but he found that he enjoyed it. It gave him a chance to think. Normally, he would think about how he could perform his duty in a more impressive and well-timed manner, but today he was thinking of the Rebel Princess. His crew had found her ship battered, her crew all dead and mortally injured, all except for her. She herself had been on the brink of death, and despite her still living, she still suffered severe leg injuries. She would not walk well for at least another week. But that was not what had his mind running with questions. The girl, despite being a Rebel leader, was a brave one. She had courage and loyalty to her beliefs, and he respected that. But now… she had lost her memories. She must’ve been injured badly in the attack on her ship, most likely from pirates, and now she suffered from amnesia. Ordinarily, it wouldn’t have captured his thoughts in this way, but something about the Princess’s situation he pitied. The girl was, after all, only a little over twenty years old, and she had been through so much.
Well, enough musing. It was time to return to duty. He turned and went to one of the command stations and demanded an update of the searches his crew was running.
“Ensign, I want an update of the Baji sector. How are we faring with the pirating control there?” Piett didn’t even listen for an answer as he straightened and paled, staring at the two figures that had just entered the bridge.
Lord Vader was coming towards him, decked in all the intimidating black armor that never left his body unless in a special chamber. But Vader’s gait was not that of his normal one. He was not striding purposefully towards Piett; he was going slowly, carefully.
Piett barely looked at him. A very small, slouched female figure was clinging for dear life to the Dark Lord’s right arm. It appeared she was using Vader for support, and her body was trembling. Her eyes, which were darting around curiously, had dark circles around them and were so lifeless and dull that they astounded Piett. This girl was very different from the strong, proud Rebel Princess from before.
He couldn’t help but become more concerned and shocked when Vader came up to him and said in his normal booming voice, “Admiral Piett. This is Aisha.”
Piett took one long look at the worn, broken form of the former Rebel Princess... and knew that this was wrong.
TBC...
I know, I hate switching to 3rd POV, but for that particular Piett scene which I'd had in my mind for some time, it was necessary. I probably won't be switching back to 3rd again unless something else comes up, such as if I need to get into Vader's head for a change.
Hope you liked!

OOH it is very wrong! Poor Piett, hopefully he wont have to apologize to Vader like poor captain Needa did.
Vader now probably knows who she is. I wonder when he will reveal it.

I wonder what's so wrong about it? Is it because Aisha is so broken? or the fact she is with the dark Lord. I loved the picture that it showed Leia leaning on Vader though. They are such contrast figures. And how she choose none of the names that were familiar. That's very interesting. A jam packed chapter for such small space.
Is he taking her to Paply?

Good update!
Also interesting how you portrait the admiral as a bit more compassionate. *shudders* You aren't going to make us
like
him, are you?
“Vader? Are you all right?”
Now that is a line we'd never expect Leia to say.
Of course, now that she is Aisha I suppose we'll see the unusual on a regular scale. How long before she'll start ordering these stiff Imps around?
Hmm, just one thing: how come that now that Leia is actively using her gift, Vader senses nothing?

Great update!! Leia cutting heer hair--a literal and symbolic severing I think
Aishea--that is a pretty name... for a sec there I thought she'd pick Padme though
Did enjoy Piett's POV there
Gotta put that lovable spark in those cholate eyes of Leia's though

Wow, great update!
I really like Vader's responses to Leia's choices, like cutting her hair, and the names she picked.
The reaction when she said the name Leia was interesting:
I shrugged, blushing. “I don’t know. I’m leaning towards Leia…” Without a second’s notice, I found a sudden rush of emotions burst into me: love, hate, rage, grief – but just as soon as it had come, it flashed by. I put a hand to my head. “What… what was that?” I whispered.
Was all that emotion from her own memories, or from Vader? Hm, interesting. I'm guessing she'll be more open to the force now that she doesn't know who she is.
I would have loved to see Vader's reaction if she'd picked Padme.

I can't help wondering if she'll regret that later when she remembers herself as Leia, cutting her hair. I know I would. *protects braid from evil scissors*
I liked that line when Vader told Leia what 'Aisha' meant. I don't know why, but that sent a shiver down my spine. How 'alive' is Aisha going to be? Will she side with Vader?
So many questions.
I can't wait for the next update!
