“If you escape, your family dies.” Like a knife it
slit through Aaricia’s body.
“The rebel base.. where
is it?”, a stormtrooper watched her from behind his helmet, Aaricia shivered.
She looked around herself, found herself sitting in a big, bare chamber with
metal walls and a metal floor. The lights were dimmed. She was stuck in a
chair, her whole body hurt. Three stormtroopers were standing around her..
“Ok you still won’t tell? TK-661 go ahead.. we have all the time..”
A second stormtrooper approached her with a big knife that was covered
with blood.. her blood. He
grabbed one of Aaricia’s feet, the cold steel
penetrated the flesh.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”, she jumped up from under
the blankets, sweating profusely. Tears crawled over her cheeks, she hugged
herself.
Gou looked at her, friendly but a bit sad too. He tried to put a hand
on her head.
“BACK OFF!”, Aaricia yelled and instinctively
she pushed his arm away.
“Aaricia look in my eyes.”, Gou said to her
with a soft voice, “You are not there anymore. You are back at Azaki depot, you
are safe now.”
With a wild glance in her eyes Aaricia looked around herself. She
recognized the inside of the medical bay from Azaki depot. She felt a bit
disoriented and weird, everything that happened the last days felt like a
dream, or maybe more like a nightmare.
Her head hurt, she was still feeling nauseous.
“I’m sorry for.. for
my reaction Gou, I.. I was dreaming that I was there again, again interrogated.”, Aaricia cried.
Slowly he approached her again and this time he managed to put his hand
on her right arm.
“They will never touch you again, you hear me? Never!”, he said to her with an angry voice.
“They will kill my family.”, Aaricia said to
him in a bitter tone, “Because I have escaped.. they
told me that if I escape, my family will die.”
Gou stared at her for a few seconds and then he smiled.
“They think that you are in Dathomir prison now.”,
he answered with a grin, “It was on the Holonet. Operation Sasseke’s Freedom
succeeded successfully. What a fools..”
Aaricia smiled.
“Thanks Gou, thank you so much.. you can’t imagine how scared I was the last days..”, her
eyes widened with fear, “I.. I-“
Gou hugged her.
“Aaricia don’t think about it now, you have to rest. Now you are here,
we are with you. You are safe.”
She nodded.
Carefully he checked her bandages. On the right Aaricia saw a pair of
artificial hands lying on a table..
