I looked past the rows of Storm Troopers, to where another ship, one I hadn't seen due to the rather rapid approach was already taking off. My problems however, were quickly replaced by something far more sinister. I had not yet been off-planet, nor had I ever been in a real ship for a sustained flight, only testing out various controls of clients ships on-world. My spine stiffened as I reached the back of the transport, where a line of seats were, and was motioned by the officer to sit and strap in. And I could not stop looking around at the impossible, unreadable faces surrounding me as we marched forward, boarding the ship.ĭespite the Storm Troopers wearing thick helmets, I could feel the draw of eyes on me. I did not know why I was spared, given an opportunity of redemption but it made me suspicious. Or rather, become them, under the definition of conscription. Yet when we finally made out way past the centre of town, to where a transporter was waiting, several other small groups of Troopers marching in from town the hope started to set in. It seemed logical that the First Order would trick a prisoner into believing they had been spared, then dragged to be shot in a square somewhere. Still, the quick pace I couldn't stop fear from piling up. I had shot the first man who whispered it a venomous glare, but all the same I razed the crowds for signs of Crissy. More than once I heard someone whisper, "Rebel Scum" at an audible volume. Some faces held shock, others fear from the weaponry in the hands of my chaperone, but most held revulsion and scorn. I did not need to be a mind reader to figure out what they were thinking. We had walked through streets, people turning to stare at me being escorted by two Storm Troopers and an Officer. The entire way back to the First Order shuttle, I believed I was walking to my execution.Įverything felt so completely unreal, it was almost laughable.
