I'm sorry for the few updates, everyone - I'm trying to write my own novel, which is extremely time consuming and hard. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this story - I'll get to writing the next chapter very, very soon!! Maybe even today. I'll get to replies soon as well. Thanks for waiting, and I'm glad you like it!

: Yeah, Vader's still having trouble with the whole new identity thing. He'll probably be more careful in the future. Yes, I already feel bad for Han and Luke... Thanks!
dancing_star:
Thank you!
Vaders_Angel:
Yes, I can tell you right now it won't be pretty! Thanks, and I'd love to add you!
Jade_eyes:
Nope, it wasn't part of her dream - it really happened. Glad you like it! I love Leia/Vader stories because there's no connection in the movies. Shame.
ILDV:
Okay, I HAVE to add you. Another fellow JIX fan!!! Thanks for bringing him up - I already have him in a lot of my stories cuz he's my favorite male character, but I should add him in this one, too! THANK YOU!!! I'd love to add you the PM list!! So happy you're enjoying the story! And er, yes. This is a redemption fic. Wouldn't have anything else!
KELIA:
More drama between the pull of Vader and "Gon" will be in this next chapter. Glad you like it!
Darth_Marrs:
Thank you! One of the few stories I've written that does.
Golden_Jedi:
Yep, on both counts! Thanks!
alderaanprincess:
Yeah, but I have a feeling he won't do that again. Glad you like Qui-gon's entrance!
PadawanMom5610:
Yes, they did - this is as much a romance as it is a drama/AU. Han/Leia will be present in this story. Glad you like Leia seeing Vader as Anakin - wasn't sure how everyone would take that.
ccp:
Thanks!
padawan_learner86:
Yes, she's a natural. She just doesn't know it yet.
Ocelotl_Nesto:
Pretty much... rather guilty, actually. But I haven't shown much of his emotions yet, other than what Leia can feel because it's in her POV. I'll probably do another POV with Vader.
Icecruncher_Amidala:
Thank you!
Jedi_Master_Cazz:
Yes, I felt Leia, in all her darkness, needs a positive influence. And since Obi's looking after Luke, I thought it only right that Qui-Gon looked after her.
DanaeMariSkywalker:
Thank you so much!
JediNat:
Why thank you!
JediMasterAmanda:
Certainly! I'm glad you like it.
Thanks so much for all the reviews, guys! Appreciate it!!

ALIVE
The next morning I awoke to perfect silence. Vader was gone, and I was alone. Rubbing my still sore neck, I slid my legs off the bed, intending to feel the instant pain as I put pressure on them, but as soon as my feet touched the ground, I gasped. I felt hardly any pain at all. Timidly, I put more and more pressure on my shaking legs until I was standing fully upright. Though able to feel a tinge of pain, I could actually stand without falling to the ground.
What happened?
I thought.
Vader said I wouldn’t heal for two weeks, and it’s been less than a week. Maybe he did something?
I wasn’t sure.
Hesitantly, still uncertain how long my legs would hold, I began to limp slowly to the doorway. I still felt some aching pain, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as before – I could walk. It was a liberating feeling, and I felt a wave of triumph and hope overcome me as I touched the doorjamb and entered the living area of my quarters. Sitting down on the sofa, I inhaled and exhaled, both weary and, for the first time in my new existence, happy.
Maybe, just maybe, I could restart my life. Maybe I could begin a new course, travel down a new path. I wanted to learn as much as I could about everything – the galaxy, the status of the government, Vader. If he hadn’t been around to help me, I probably would’ve died.
But for some reason, a slightly nagging feeling lingered in my mind, and I began to wonder if Vader was holding something back still. I wasn’t sure, but something was telling me that everything wasn’t all right. Shaking it off as just nerves, I decided to firmly put my trust in Vader and hope that he had the best intentions towards me.
A small part of my mind, however, told me that I wasn’t one to easily trust.
After a half hour of restlessly searching the quarters for anything to read or do, I finally managed to find a holoproj. Flipping it on, I realized that it’d been already programmed to some news station. A finely dressed human woman was talking about something… someone, rather.
“And it appears that Jabba the Hutt has been murdered by the Rebellion insurgents. The planet of Tatooine will be devastated by this loss.”
I frowned. Who was Jabba the Hutt? Why was he murdered? Well, fine, he was hideous, as the picture on the screen showed clearly, but why? And who were Rebellion insurgents? Some kind of terrorist group?
“Aisha!”
I looked up, startled, to see Lord Vader standing in the doorway. Without any explanation, he moved forward and suddenly shut off the holoproj. I grew instantly alarmed as I somehow felt his irritation and… was that worry? “Vader?” I said hesitantly. “What’s the matter?”
“Where did you get this?” He thundered, causing me to curl deeper and father back into the couch to escape his wrath.
“I… I found it.” My eyes slowly narrowed. What is he so angry for? What did I do wrong?
“Where?” he demanded.
Finding myself growing slightly irritated myself at his fury, I said in a more bold voice, “In here. I was bored and tired and had nothing else to do. Is there a problem?”
He was silent for a moment, almost as if he was unsure of what to say next, but he finally said tersely, “You should not have done that. Your condition is… delicate. I will not have you putting more stress on yourself.”
“How is watching the news stressing?” I asked. “I need to know what’s going on out there. Whatever my condition is, I’m going to find out eventually. You don’t intend to keep me here, on this ship forever, do you?” I stared at him with wide eyes.
His fists clenched. “Aisha… there are people out there. People who could hurt you. I’m trying to protect you.”
His last words, for some odd reason, brought an unpleasant taste in my mouth – it was almost as if I had heard those words from him before… Shaking my head, I said, “Protect me from what? People like the officer who attacked me?” I swallowed painfully, not wishing to remember that unpleasant episode.
“Yes,” he affirmed. “You are a vulnerable young woman, Aisha. And that is why you must stay here while I show you how to protect yourself.”
“How?” I asked curiously.
He held out a hand. “Come with me.”
Vader led me through various passageways until we entered a dark room. At a wave of his hand, dim lights flickered on, and he brought me to the middle of the room. It was mostly bare except for a few droids powered down by the wall and gleaming rounded stick-looking things hanging above them. I glanced at Vader’s belt. “Is that some kind of weapon?” I asked.
He took the thing off his belt and handed it to me. I didn’t know why, but a sudden rush came over me, and I nearly gasped. I felt so… powerful! It was amazing. “This is more than a weapon,” he said calmly. “It is the heart of the Force.”
“The Force… you mentioned that earlier,” I murmured as I turned the weapon over in my hands.
“Indeed,” he rumbled. “And starting today, we will begin your training.”
Vader had me sit in the middle of the room with my eyes closed. He then shut off the lights and said, “Now, Aisha, I want you tell me what you are feeling.”
I stiffened. The dark I did not like – it brought back painful memories of my rebirth on the crash of the ship. I guessed that I had been scared of the dark from a young age, and it didn’t seem to be going away now. “Annoyed,” I said, not wanting to show weakness.
After a pause, he said, “Not what you’re thinking. What you are feeling.”
I sighed. “Frightened. Anxious.”
“Why?”
“I don’t like the dark,” I admitted. “I don’t think I ever did.”
He seemed to digest this information before saying, “If you are to become one with the Force, to control it, you must conquer your fear. It is the only way.”
“What is the Force?”
“It is an energy field that is in all living things. It binds the galaxy together. It is the power of the Sith and the…” he halted. “It is the power of the Sith.”
“Who are the Sith?”
I heard an odd sound from him – maybe it was laughter. “You ask too many questions, young one. One thing at a time. Right now, I want you to focus. Focus on your emotions. Let other emotions dominate your fear. You must conquer it.”
I sighed – this would be harder than I thought. But I kept my eyes closed and immersed myself into my emotions. I felt suddenly dizzy and disoriented, but I could sense in great detail everything in and around the room. Almost as if in a dream, I searched out my emotions and concentrated on my fear. It suddenly came rushing up on me, and I could once again hear the screams of terror and agony on the ship – I could feel the blood running down my face and the excruciating pain in my lifeless legs as I crawled down the corridor of the ruined, battered ship. All at once I felt anxiety and panic pour into my senses, and I began breathing faster –
“Control your fear.”
It was Vader.
I tried to slow my racing heart, but I couldn’t. I could feel the darkness and despair welling up in me…
I can’t do this!
I screamed inwardly.
Vader!
Conquer your fear! You must do this!
Vader’s cold command was of no comfort or support to me, and I began to hyperventilate as the chilling darkness slithered toward me –
But without warning, a golden light entered my confused, frightened mind, and I could see something – or someone – entering my mind’s vision. The darkness cowered and shuddered as the light shone upon it, and a golden sword flashed in the darkness. The dark shrieked and withered away until it was fully gone from me. I felt my heartbeat slowing down already as I looked at the light in wonder.
Calm yourself, young one.
That voice! That warm, kind, comforting voice! I knew that voice! As I focused on the light, it bent and shaped into a familiar figure, one I had seen in my dreams…
Let go of your fear, young one. Come into the light. Become one with the Force.
I – I don’t know how,
I said hesitantly.
A larger hand reached out to me.
Take my hand, young one. There is nothing to fear. I am here. I am watching over you.
There was nothing else I could do. I took the warm, gentle hand with my pale, much smaller one. Immediately I felt a rush of peace and calmness as the golden light enveloped my whole body. I could breathe easier again.
Remember, young one,
Gon said, smiling kindly down on me.
The Force will be with you. Always.
My brow furrowed.
But what about you?
But his hand drifted into nothingness, and the light flickered. I shivered instinctively as I was left in my mind alone once more, but I wasn’t as afraid as before. He had given me comfort. I wasn’t alone anymore.
I was jolted out of my concentration by two strong hands gripping my shoulders, and my eyes snapped open. Instantly I felt a wave, a furious rush of emotions - anger, betrayal, rage – I stared up at Vader, who I knew was angrier than I’d seen him before.
“How,” he snarled viciously, “Did you do that?”
TBC...

Great update!

I'm sure he doesn't want her to see the news... it might trigger a flood of memories
But she's showing her real potential/talent and who was that benevolent helper?
Leia also instinctively feels something's not right--it won't be long until she pins it down

I think Vader's a bit confused. he's either mad that she reached for light or jealous about it.
