You switched POVs??? tongue I'm good with it. This is fanfiction--do what you need to get your story out. And as far as that goes I think you did a good job. I've always had a soft spot for Piett.

Thanks for the PM! Looking forward to more.

Ahh, good idea. I like how she naturally picked Leia and Padme, especially Padme.

Piett took one long look at the worn, broken form of the former Rebel Princess... and knew that this was wrong.


I really liked this different perspective we get on the situation, and Piett feeling sorry for Leia is not what I would have expected, but it's good.



Keep up the great work and the intensity dancing

Interesting Leia chose the name Aisha, though it is very fitting.

I can't help but wonder how she will deal with the inevitable memories and feelings that are bound to come.

worried worried worried worried

I'm not surprised Piett serves Vader first and the Emperor second. That's probably how he's managed to survive.

Great update

ooooh I love this! Can't wait till Luke and Han come into it. But will Vader turn her to the Dark Side? I guess its a little late because she alredy thinks of Vader as a nice man. Oh so many possibilities! Add me to the PM list if you have one please! praying

I love this! I read through 9 pages on Word without even realizing it. I thought there was more, but was disappointed to learn that chapter three is the latest.

Your first person descriptions of Leia's disorientation at awakening are great. Vader is interesting, but obviously not as conflicted as Piett.

I was pleasantly surprised that Leia chose the names closest to her, but when Vader threw down the Dark Side emotions, I worried when Leia said she felt something. Now Vader knows she is Force sensitive and is going to exploit it. I think.

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.

Excellent imagery.

Update Soon! More! More! More!

Please PM me!

Put me on your PM list, too! This is good. Poor Leia, doesn't know who she is, and the one to show her compassion is Vader. Maybe Anakin might awaken? Nah! He's got his own reasons...

For some reason, I loved that she cut her hair! Good chapter! happy


Good, I'm glad you like it! I knew that cutting her hair would upset some people, but I'm glad to see that you're for it! Thanks!


Ocelotl_Nesto


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.


Piett's gonna be hanging around... probably for the rest of the story, so don't worry about him. Vader doesn't know who she is... yet.


Toki-chan

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?


Piett, strangely, feels it's wrong to be taking advantage of Leia's situation, because of her condition. Yes, Leia and Vader are great characters to put together - dark vs. light, father vs. daughter... it's a great battle of similar tempers and emotions. Leia may look more like Padme, but I'm sure every SW fan will agree that Leia has Anakin's temper. The naming thing I slaved over for days - I couldn't figure out which one to choose. I wanted it to have a big impact, but I didn't want her to be Padme, and I didn't want her to choose Leia for obvious reasons - she needs to become a new person so she needs a new name. Kinda like a rebirth. No, he's not taking her to Palps... yet.


padawan_learner86


Good update! happy Also interesting how you portrait the admiral as a bit more compassionate. *shudders* You aren't going to make us like him, are you? wink

“Vader? Are you all right?” tongue Now that is a line we'd never expect Leia to say. wink 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? grin

Hmm, just one thing: how come that now that Leia is actively using her gift, Vader senses nothing?


Make you like him? Why ever would I do such a thing? wink
Yeah, very unusual things are going to happen - but we'll see about Aisha and how she reacts to Vader's temper. I can sense fists flying already...
Vader knows that she's Force-sensitive; he just hasn't done anything about it yet. You'll see why.


Jade_eyes

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


Yeah, I wanted to heavily emphasize the fact that she wanted Padme above all the other names except Aisha. Glad you like Aisha! I had a hard time picking out a name that had big meaning. Glad you liked Piett's POV - I will likely switch back to his POV every now and then.



PadawanMom5610

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.


The emotions were from Leia and her past. Maybe it's starting to come back...
Yes, that would have been amusing - however, I didn't want to call her Padme during the fic, so I decided to choose a completely new name.

dancing_star

Wow!! Wonderful update!! dancing Interesting on Leia's choice of name, thinking and the fact that she cut her hair. Very nicely done! I was so glad to see this updated! Can't wait for more!! grin

You liked the haircut, too? Yay!




Meredith_Kenobi


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!


So you don't like cutting the hair... well, it was sort of necessary for Leia - cutting her hair also means that in a way, she's cutting off her old life to start a new one. As for Aisha being alive... we'll see.



JediNat

I MISSED A POST ON THE DAY IT WAS POSTED shock
Fantastic update , and yes it's me again
peace

YOU MISSED A POST. THAT'S IT. YOU'RE FIRED.
Just kidding, Nat! Love to hear from you! Thanks for the comment and bugging me to update! I need reminders now and then..

Thanks for the PM! Looking forward to more.


YES I DID! AAAAAH! But seriously, I agree with you. I needed to get into other character's heads - and Piett is one bystander who was very important. I will be switching POVs again in this chapter - yes I know, it's a CRIME!! lol - to Vader's, and I will continually do that. Also, we have to get Luke and Han in here sometime too, right?
And I think Piett is probably the best-loved Imperial officer around. To this day I don't know why, but like you, I've had a soft spot for him and always thought he was all around a decent guy. I'm glad he gets a lot of time in the fanfic spotlight.

Yes, I wanted the name to have definite meaning to it. It'll be hard for her as some things start to come back, too.. And as for Piett, I've always got the feeling that he was extremely loyal to Vader, but has a secondary loyalty to the Emperor. He serves his commander on his ship before anything else.
