Guys... I'm so sorry...

Okay, okay, before you start throwing rotten food at me, please hear what I have to say.

First of all, I want to apologize very humbly to all of you, my faithful readers for leaving you for so long. My summer "vacation" from the forums has stretched a bit, since I interrupted my studies and went working as an au-pair to France. I've been pretty busy the first few months, and really had not much time for writing.

But now I PROMISE YOU that I'm coming back. I've been a little busy with the Virtual Sequels project (you might know of it, just follow the link in my sig if you want to know more). But I want to write again, and I'm DEFINITELY going to continue with this story. You have my word, guys. Just give me a week to get back on track.

In the mean time, you can check my short story I wrote. It's a Jedi Purge OC story, a one-poster, called Among the Stars.

See you all later and a huge THANK YOU for not forgetting me!

*sends kisses to all*

 

Good news guys: I'm working on a new post! It will be up definitely sometimes this week (when I get it betaed soon). So please be patient with me (I know, I'm terrible...). I PROMISE not to let this story die!

 

Okay, okay, I know I didn't post... I'm SORRY! I've been a little busy with this new fic of mine - The Maya Tasco Chronicles, a "character prequel" to Amidala_Skywalker's "If the Mask Fits" trilogy. So, while you're waiting for a post, you can go there and read!

 

Up!

I'm working on the new post! AND I have a new beta! I'll post soon, I PROMISE!

 

I'm now waiting for Daphne, my new beta, to send me back my post.

 

*looks around, sees the place STILL deserted*

Oh well, I think I'll have to send PMs to everyone...

 

*fanfares*

Well, ladies and gentlemen, here it is! After more than a year, TFMD is back! This post is a bit shorter than what I used to write, because I'm a bit rusty, but I hope you'll like it anyway.

Enjoy, and please give me feedback!

And many, many thanks to my new beta Daphne for her help!

*****************************

Leia sat back in her seat and rubbed her eyes, trying to shake away the fatigue. The long weeks of being constantly on the ship, with only a few stops here and there, had begun to catch up with her.

Only two more hours and she would finally join with the Executor, an impressive Super-class Star Destroyer, the flagship of the Imperial fleet, commanded by her father. There, she knew, she could finally rest properly.

Her Sith Infiltrator had rooms for lodging, too, but they were only provisional ? two small bunks with rather ucomfortable beds. After such a long time, no one could blame her for waiting anxiously for a proper comfort. And her quarters on the Executor were comfortable, all right.

Leia yawned, and for a moment considered doing a little lightsaber exercise to wake up. But she discarded the idea soon, and decided to lie down for a moment instead. In the moments like this, even the makeshift sleeping quarters were better than the pilot's seat.

She walked into the small room and stretched herself on the bed. Through the floor she could hear the rumble of the Infiltrator's engines, just loud enough to prevent her from drifting to sleep. Closing her eyes, she let her thoughts wander through the past few weeks.

After the Rebels destroyed the Death Star, the Emperor ordered six nearest Star Destroyers to search the sector around Yavin, but there was no trace of the Rebels. Their base on Yavin IV was deserted, as they had expected, but all signs showed that it wasn't so for long. The Rebels had escaped just in the nick of time before the Imperials arrived.

Logic said that they split up and dispersed around the Galaxy, but the Intelligence wasn't successful in locating them. Evidently they knew that their bold attack would not be forgotten. Even the usual small raids,
that had been so common before the Battle of Yavin, had become rare.

Almost one quarter of the fleet's Star Destroyers were searching for the Rebel
bases, and thousands of probe droids were dispatched to comb through every location in the Galaxy likely to host the Alliance.

It was a huge task, yet it didn't bring fruits so far. True, some smaller bases were discovered, and a several dozen ships found and destroyed - but the real heart of Alliance was still beating in some secret hide-out, lost to the Empire for the time being.

As was Luke lost to her, Leia realized.

Her feelings towards him had been now mixed - she still bore affection for her
sibling, but she couldn't forgive him for destroying the Death Star. She felt torn between two loves, the love she has always known for her father, and the love she had instinctively for Luke, from the moment she met him. She was longing to reunite with her brother that she had only know for such a short time.

The fact that he was still escaping the Empire angered her, yet soothed her somehow at the same moment. She couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he were caught, or what her father would do to him. Either he'd kill him, or...

Leia's heart suddenly began beating faster. Maybe he could be turned. Maybe, just maybe, she could convince him that the Jedi's teachings were only rubbish, senseless restrictions preventing one from using his full potential. After all, he was still young and rash, easy to mold - and hadn't he, too, the blood of their father flowing in his veins?

He will never join the Dark Side, her mind cried at her, and you know that.

Leia sat up, suddenly feeling cold. If he could
not be turned, then the Emperor would surely
destroy him.

No, father would not allow that.

Would not? Are you so sure?

Leia shivered. A terrible image appear

 

Hark! What is this? A great new post! That's what this is! Good job!
