Chapter 11 - (Hope in the darkness.)

Chapter eleven:

When Venus looked through the records on Coruscant she saw that Anakin had come from a planet called Tatooine. The planet is where she would find the most of her information.

When Venus landed on Tatooine she saw that it was hot, desert planet. She used the Force to disguise herself so the locals wouldn't give her any trouble. She went up to a person who was walking and asked where they were.

The man replied. This is Mos Eisley. You look though as you could use some sleep. If you wish you could come to my home and have dinner with my family. Venus thought for a minute and said to herself that she could kill them if they posed a threat. I will go. She said.

Venus and the man jumped into the man's land speeder and flew off. While they were riding the man spoke. The name's Owen by the way. What's yours? Venus hesitated for a minute and said without looking at him. Ja-ni.

So where do you come from Ja-ni? She didn't answer him. Okay you can at least tell me about your friends or family. Yet again she did not answer. Guess we just won't talk then.

When they arrived at Owen's house a boy around the age of five ran out yelling. Uncle Owen, Uncle Owen. Owen bent down and put the young boy onto his shoulder's. Oh, excuse my rudeness this is my nephew Luke Skywalker. A surprised look came across Venus's face. Did you say Skywalker?

Yes, I did why? Venus shook her head and said. Never mind. As she started to walk into the house. Strange lady isn't she Luke.

Luke: Yup.

Vader had three Star Destroyers looking for Venus but to no avail. Vader was sitting in his chambers with his helmet off, trying to breathe. As soon as he healed himself the dark side left him and he went back to normal.

He used the Force to make the dorm fall back into place so he could breathe. If only he had trained her more. Then maybe they could find the secret to heal him from his wounds. Just then an officer walked in. The helmet was attached back into place as the man started to speak. My Lord the Emperor wishes to speak to you. Vader walked away without saying a word.

The Lars family had sat down for dinner. While they were eating Owen said that Ja-ni had something on her mind. He asked if she did and she responded. Do you know a man named Anakin Skywalker? Luke looked up when he heard his father's name. Do you know something about my father?

Owen frowned and said. All we know about him is that he died from a crash a week after Luke was born. Venus could tell that they had been lying to the boy for some time.

She looked at Luke and thought if he only knew how wrong they were.

The Emperor showed up in person instead of a holo to speak to his apprentice. As of now Lord Vader you will discontinue your search for your apprentice. I will pick some of my Royal Guards to continue the search.

She is searching through my past. Wouldn't it be wiser if it were I who continued the search. Said Darth Vader. Are you saying that I am unwise Lord Vader?

Vader: No, I am sorry Master. I didn't mean any disrespect.

Emperor Palpatine: Good. It as come to my attentions that the Kamioans have went behind my back and have secretly made their own Clone army. I want you to investigate this personally.

Vader: It shall be done.

It was nightfall on Tatooine. Luke had just fallen asleep. Venus was sitting on a window sill when Owen walked up behind her. How do you know Anakin Skywalker? He said.

Still looking at the night sky she did a fake laugh and said. I'm not really sure if I do.

Owen didn't quite understand but in response he said. Just don't get the boy's hopes up. Oh yeah I almost forgot. We're going into town tomorrow if you want to come with us. She nodded her head and Owen walked away.

The Emperor's ship had launched and headed for Coruscant. But before the Emperor had left the ship Darth Vader had already set a plan in motion. He would send a bounty hunter to retrieve Venus.

When she came back she would not be allowed to leave his side. None of the Emperor's assassins would be able to kill her if he were there.

Not even the Emperor himself would try and kill her. The Emperor and himself were friends,

yes, but neither would dare get in the other's way.

General Veers had entered the room with documents in hand. These are the names of the bounty hunters you have ordered my Lord. Vader took the list and skimmed through it until one name caught his eye. General.

General Veers: Yes my Lord?

Vader: I won't more information on this bounty hunter named Boba Fett.

The Emperor was inside his office looking through the documents when a man in a cloak appeared.

Emperor Palpatine: Ah, you have finally arrived I need you to find a young girl named Ja-ni and bring her to me alive. And I mean alive. Do you understand me, Jamba Lo?

Jamba: Yes, my Master.
