Angstober Day 26
The Day I Lost You
Spoiler: This is an excerpt from Favorless
It’s hardly comfortable to be letting someone who’s his enemy touch him this personally, especially when he can’t even sense him or his intentions. Feeling so much had hurt, but feeling nothing hurts even more, and it’s far more terrifying.
He’s not expecting the Jedi to be quite so gentle about treating it, either. No one’s really taken care of him since his mom. And that was so many years ago, he’d long forgotten what it was like. It was something he knew he’d never have again, because she’s gone.
Grief still threatens to overwhelm him when he thinks about her too long, remembering her smile and her gentleness, and – He’d lost her not long before becoming a Sith, and he was still struggling with that, with how was he supposed to just move on and keep living when he’d ended up with Sidious.
“Use your pain to fuel you. It… is a gift if you choose to use its power,” Sidious had always told him. It took him time to understand how that even made sense, but that never made it stop hurting.
And… now is not the time to get lost in thinking about her.
But it’s jarring to see a Jedi acting the way Anakin always imagined they did, back in the days he was still with his mother, and dreamed that one day he might become one. That changed after it was the Sith who rescued him, after he realized how corrupt the Jedi truly were.
They left him on Tatooine, like all the other slaves, because they never mattered. They didn’t think his mother mattered, either, and she died because of it. That… isn’t something he can forgive.

YOU HELD YOUR ARMS CLOSE TO YOU AS YOU WALKED THE PATH UP TO THE COMPANY BUILDING — Cameron Development. It was midnight on the dot and the night air was chilly. Normally, you’d be in bed by this time, tired and exhausted after running errands for Rafe Cameron all day long with little to sometimes no break. Being his assistant wasn’t exactly anyone’s dream job, but it kept your lights on.
For some reason, the man had called you into the office, saying there was an issue that was urgent and had to be handled immediately. He had an edge to his voice, one that should've been your first warning to not walk into that building.
As you skipped up the steps to the building, still hugging yourself, you pushed the door open and followed the only light that was on down the hall. His office door was cracked and you could hear him mumbling to himself. Reaching the semi-open door, you pushed it open, the wood creaking as you did so.
“Mr. Cameron?” You called quietly, spotting his tall frame hovering over his desk — palms planted firmly on the wood and hair ruffled as his eyes ran wild over the small pile of papers on the desk. Your voice broke him out of his muttering daze as his eyes slowly rose to meet yours. His movements were slow and calm, his wild eyes meeting yours.
His movements were slow and calm, until they weren’t. Within seconds, he’d crumpled up the papers in his hands and rounded his deck to tower in front of you and grab your upper arm, bringing you impossibly closer. You could see him a lot more clearly now — he was visibly strung out and angry. 
You gasped at the rough contact, immediately trying to tug your arm away which only prompted the irate man to tug you closer. 
“What’re you-”
“How much?” He huffed out, infuriated. His jaw was clenched tightly.
You were sure you looked lost and confused, more scared than anything. Rafe had a knack for treating his employees like shit and you were no exception to his rage now, it seemed. But you’d never been at the receiving end of his abuse until this moment. It was frightening, to put it mildly.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about-”
“How much fucking money did you steal from me?” He gritted through his teeth. You stuttered to find the right words and he took that as a sign to continue berating you. He released his grip on you to uncrumple to documents he was holding, using one hand to push you against the wall behind you as the other practically shoved the printed matter in your face. “Five-hundred and twenty-six thousand...” He started, voice rising with each word. “Five-hundred and twenty-six THOUSAND dollars. That’s how much money has been withdrawn from my company and deposited into shell companies — companies that do not fucking exist!”
You looked away from him this time. You honestly didn’t think he’d find out. Or at least find out that it was you. Five-hundred thousand was pocket change compared to what he was bringing in yearly and Rafe was careless, so you didn't think he'd notice and if he did, you assumed you'd be able to lie on the spot. Clearly, you'd misjudged both him and yourself.
He’d put you in charge of the books when it became too much paperwork for him one day and you just happened to realize that your paycheck could’ve been much higher than what it was but you knew he’d never give you a raise. You’d worked with him for almost 2 years and had never even seen the chance of a promotion. Who was Rafe Cameron to acknowledge his employees or their efforts?
It wasn't like you'd taken it all at once. It was over the last couple months that you'd misplaced the funds into shell companies and collected it at later dates for your own personal gain.
“Suddenly she’s quiet.” He taunted, throwing the papers to the floor. “Look at me,” He demanded, but you refused. He took that as a sign to grab, more like yank, your chin in his direction. “Where’s my money?”
“It’s gone, most of its gone…” You muttered with tearful eyes, speech slurred due to how he had your cheeks pressed together. You weren't lying. You'd spoiled yourself with the money. Shopping, grocery runs, furniture...
“I trusted you. You think I’d let any of those lousy, dumbasses touch my assets? No. But clearly…clearly I made a lapse in judgment with you.” He reprimanded. “You’re a damn thief.” He spat as he let go of your face, so harshly it prompted some of your hair to obstruct your field of vision.
Your heart was racing like crazy. Your hands had been clawing at the wall he had you pinned to, eyes following his pacing frame. “I can pay it back. I’ll pay it all back-”
“Oh, I know you will.”  He scoffed darkly. “But clearly, your word can’t be taken for it so, I’m going to need… collateral.” Rafe sounded much less angry now. But his tone was still clouded with an air of darkness that made the hairs of the back of your neck stand up. Suddenly, he was in front of you again, brushing a loose strand of hair behind your ear — a much softer touch compared to the previous ones.
“Take your shirt off.”
You were dumbstruck, mouth falling open at his demand.
Surely, he couldn’t be serious.
“Mr. Cameron-” You tried.
“Sir.” He corrected.
“...Sir,” You repeated, taking the hint. “I have a husband. Not to mention, you’re my boss. I’m sure there’s another way-”
“There might be...” He cut you off, the knuckle of his index finger trailing down the length of your neck as he licked his lips before speaking again. “Unfortunately for you, I want to do it my way.” He rasped. “So, take your shirt off.”
This was wrong. On so many levels was this wrong. He was your boss — your sick, deranged boss. You may be a thief but this was ludicrous. Was the terror in your eyes not enough assurance for him?
You gulped as you looked into his eyes, letting a few beats pass before moving your shaking hands to the hem of your shirt, pulling the fabric over your head and hesitating to let it drop to the hardwood floors of his office. 
Rafe eyed the valley of your breasts that was revealed by your bra, a small smirk forming on his features at the sight. When one of his hands came up to cup one of them through the material, you couldn’t help but cringe slightly at the touch — it was foreign and it felt so… dirty. You wanted to just say fuck it and dash out of his office — shirtless and all. But you knew that would only cause more trouble — he’d ruin your credibility and career, destroy your marriage, and God knows what else.
So when the man used the hand that had been trailing your neck to untie your sweatpants, you stood as still as a statue and let him. The loose apparel falling easily to the ground, pooling around your ankles, leaving you half naked in front of your superior.
“I never took you for the criminal type, y’know…” He whispered into your ear. “I always thought you were so obedient. The things I thought about doing to you whenever you nod when I give you an order, watching you rush around the office in your skirts just to get whatever I need done finished…I never thought watching you do whatever I say would be so fun.” He cooed and you couldn’t help but feel trapped at this moment.
Just how long had Rafe been pining over you? You suddenly wondered if this was really collateral or just a way of getting something he’d always wanted.
Was it both?
The thought ran around in your mind as he roamed the length of your body — calloused hands outlining the curve of your ass, palm trailing over your clothed core. You didn’t even fully register when his thick fingers pushed the fabric of your panties to the side, one digit gathering the wetness that had gathered before being quickly pushed inside. You whimpered lowly at the intrusion, instinctively closing your legs but Rafe wouldn’t allow it, using his knee to hold your legs apart.
His lone finger poked and prodded at your g-spot, forcing light moans out of you that you tried your best to keep low. You hated the way your body responded to his touch — the faint squelching sound you could hear as he pumped his finger in and out of you. A lone tear rolled down your cheek, small whimpers escaping your lips before he harshly pulled his finger out of you and took a few steps back, allowing you to close your legs.
But the racing and thumping of your heart within your rib-cage didn’t stop there, tearful eyes watching as Rafe’s hands moved to his belt. The metal clanking against itself as he undid the object and abandoned it to the floor. 
In one swift motion, his entire demeanor changed as he grabbed the hair on your head that he could reach, practically ripping you off of the wall that you were clinging to. You yelped as the man did so, using your tresses as a makeshift leash, pulling your body towards his desk as you struggled not to trip over your pants that were still wound around your ankles. Using his deadly grip, he shoved your face into the wooden surface, swiping papers and office supplies out of his way.
You hissed the contact, a small ache blooming on your cheek as your own hands were planted on the wood as well in awkward position due to how he had you pinned down.
The hand in your hair never left your body as it trailed down to pin you against the slab by the back of your neck instead. Your body jerked as he used his free hand to force your panties down your legs, leaving the material wound around the middle of your thighs.
You don’t even know when he found the time to pull down his own pants during his manhandling, only starting to internally panic, realizing the weight of what was happening when you felt the warmth of his tip rub against your sex. You tried to wiggle out of his grip, causing yourself more pain the more you moved.
You pleaded with him through labored sobs as your fingers clawed at his work space, leaving faint white marks in your wake. You didn’t even know what you were saying — a string of useless pleas falling on deaf ears.
Your fighting only came to an abrupt stop when you felt his dick push past your entrance, biting down on your lip as a small pinching feeling radiated from in between your legs at the unwelcome intrusion. You felt every ridge and vein as he took his time settling within you. The man behind you let out a gruff groan while the hand he’d used to guide himself inside of you moved to capture your waist, pulling you further onto him.
When he pulled his hips back only to slam back into you, you couldn’t contain the watery scream you let out. It felt like he’d punched you in the throat, fucking into you as if you weren’t a living thing. You could feel each and every time the tip of his cock would hit your cervix, the desk beneath you bruising your abdomen with each forward thrust that slammed you against the wooden fixture.
"Please! I can't-"
"Shut up." He immediately cut off your protests, voice curt and nasty. "I don't wanna hear you speak."
Nothing about his movements were pleasurable. His grip on your waist had grown tighter, so tight that his short nails were digging into your skin, feeling like miniature knives against your side. The hand on your neck followed, squeezing the nape of it until you were gasping for air between each cry and shriek.
The sound of his skin slapping against yours, the feeling of his pelvis meeting the curvature of your ass with each thrust made your chest feel tight. You hated the way you could feel yourself clenching around him, a familiar sensation building in your lower half. 
Before you could even attempt to stop yourself, your hands were curling into tight fists as you came around him with a pitiful cry. But Rafe wasn’t done just yet, and you laid under him as he continued pounding into you at a borderline animalistic pace. The desk screeching against the floorboards after a particularly, brutal jolt. You were quickly becoming sensitive, the friction causing your clit to ache as a tingling sensation spreading throughout your body.
It was only a few moments before he rammed into you for the final time, his hips stilling as they pressed against your backside, the feeling of him spilling into you almost making you sick. He didn’t bother being quiet as he held you flush against him, making sure to empty himself completely with a few soft pumps into you afterwards, pulling out with not an ounce of care, eliciting a wince from you as he did so.
He roughly released both holds he’d had on you, not saying a word.
You could hear the rustling of fabric and his heavy breaths behind you as you gathered yourself mentally. You didn’t move, not an inch until you heard his voice again.
“Get up.” You sniffed. Not wanting to irritate the man any further, you used your arms to push yourself up to stand straight on shaky legs. You didn’t turn around as you carefully bent over and pulled your pants up, trying you hardest to ignore what you felt running down the inside of your thighs or the way the fabric of your underwear felt against your swollen clit.
All hopes of not having to look at the man who’d violated you were shattered as he rounded his desk to sit in front of you, planting himself in the chair as he opened the laptop that he was lucky hadn’t been thrown from the desk in the harsh turn of events.
You stood in front of him with your head down. You didn’t bother to wipe the tears from your face, fix your hair, or check for bruises that you were sure you had and would have to find some way to cover up. You just watched liked a punished child as he opened the device in front of him, typing and hyper focused on the screen. You wondered how he could be so unphased.
He was like that for a few passing moments until he’d seemingly gotten what he needed, pulling the USB drive from the side of the machine that you'd just noticed, leaning back in his chair as he fiddled with the small stick. His face was flushed red and his hair was all over the place.
“Do you know what this is?” He asked, out of breath but still managing to sound smug. You had an idea. But you hoped you were wrong. So, begrudgingly, you shook your head side to side. “It's our movie. I know it’s not the best angle because, well...” He motioned towards a corner of his office, prompting you to shift your sights in his line of sight, spotting a camera mounted in the corner, so small it was just barely visible but you knew from the placement it probably had a view of the entire space. Your heart dropped, slowly turning back to your boss to find him eyeing you with such a predatory gaze that it made you shudder.
“Don’t look so scared. No one else will see it, so long as you get my shit back.” He spat. “But I gotta admit,” He started, getting up from behind his desk and coming to stand next to you, his lips dangerously close to your ear. “Fucking you was much better than I ever imagined.”
His words had you choking back on your own saliva, swallowing harshly and refusing to look at him as you stared straight ahead with a disgusted snarl on your face. One of his hands swiped lightly across your torso as he left your personal space, opting to sit half-way perched on his desk. Fiddling and examining the memory stick like a prized possession before looking up at you with half-lidded eyes and an unsettling grin on his features before speaking.
“You can see yourself out.”
That was all you needed to hear before your feet were rushing you away from him, barely stopping to snatch your shirt up off of the floor before making a bee-line out of his office. You struggled to put your shirt on as you practically sprinted through the doors of the building so fast, you wouldn't be surprised if you had it on backwards, hot skin immediately bitten by the night air.
Your breathing never calmed as you rushed to your car, struggling to unlock the door, throwing yourself into the vehicle when you finally managed to. You sat there for a few seconds, staring ahead at the street and breathing like a mad woman before you lost all control — punching and slamming on your steering wheel, a long string of curses leaving your lips before you were bursting into tears, sleeve-covered hands coming up to cup your face as you cried into them. 
You hated yourself and you hated Rafe. You had nowhere to go from here. Rafe's words made it clear that you wouldn't be quitting any time soon and what the hell were you going to do about your husband? Rafe had a full length tape of you, bent over his desk as he did what he pleased and no matter what you knew happened in that office, Rafe had Kildare in the palm of his hand.
It didn't take a genius to know that Rafe Cameron would bend that video to his very will. This whole thing made you look bad, a thief and a cheater.
Your hysterics didn’t last long when you realized that even though you were in your car, that man was still just feet away. You’d still have to see him the very next day and every day after that, but right now you just wanted to go home and you didn’t even know if you really wanted to do that — to climb into bed with your husband who had no idea what had just happened, knowing not only that your future was tainted but technically, so was his. 
You didn’t waste any time in starting your car, nearly whipping into the curb at the speed at which you pulled off. Watching streetlights and stores pass by.
It wasn’t until you passed the pharmacy, bright neon red sign lit up in the dark, that you felt your stomach drop.
You’d been off birth control for months now, wanting to try for a baby with your husband.
And in the middle of the night, you found yourself praying that a loss of dignity and aching legs were the only things Rafe Cameron just sent you home with.

Angstober Day 26
Dark Water 
Spoiler: This is an excerpt from The Chosen Twins
Obi-Wan Kenobi
For having no purpose left to fight for, the droids are still putting up a lot of resistance. I don’t have much time for it, but I try to momentarily keep an eye on Caleb. He’s… not handling it will. If anything, he seems to be in a daze, but he’s still fighting, and that’s what we need.
I climb onto the lizard, letting Caleb climb on behind me, before it takes of across the rocks, for the next position with heavy fighting. 
Its satisfying to be destroying what may be soon of the last of the Separatists droids. The war is over, and we won. 
It’s in that moment of distraction that I suddenly sense a surge of danger in the Force. I whip around, right as a canon blast rings out – from one of our canons?! It strikes the ground right next to the lizard, hurling us straight over the side. I only have a split second to register that it was Cody who gave that order before I’m scrambling to find a way to slow my fall.
I plunge straight into the water, slowing myself from going straight to the bottom with the Force. Caleb lands in the water right above me, and I think it’s only that that keeps him from going all the way to the bottom, with how much in shock he is. I instantly scramble for my breathing mask, slipping it over my face, before swimming to the surface.
I turn to help Caleb out of the murky water, who struggles to catch his breath as he hold on to the side of the rocks. “What’s happening?” he asks me, desperately.
“The clones turned on us. I don’t know why,” I reply, tone clipped, “We need to find a way off planet and contact the Council.” This doesn’t make any sense. The clones are loyal to us. Why would they ever do something like this?
We clamor up the steep rocky side, ducking behind something to stay hidden as the clones move close by. They’re discussing looking for us. I don’t know what changed, but suddenly it’s like they think we’re enemies.
I don’t have a way to fight them all off or try to demand answers, though. I need a way out of here. I want to anyway, though, because this doesn’t make any sense. We’ve fought together since the beginning of the war. I cannot understand why they would do that, and I can’t deny the anger pulsing through me.

Angstober Day 26
Shattered 
Spoiler: This is an excerpt from Inheritance, a fic we have yet to release. ^-^
Vader is still on Mustafar when he feels it. Something in the Force feels wrong. He can’t place it, but it’s undeniably there. He just knows he needs to get back to Coruscant. Sidious hadn’t called him, but he doesn’t wait. He should, and he’s certain his master will be upset, but the Force is urging him to go, and he complies.
The sky is partly cloudy, just as it has been a lot as of late, when he arrives at Padme’s apartment. The first thing he notices is the strange lack of her presence. Then… two very brilliant presences, that block out almost everything else. And… a strange sense of loss.
Sabe, surprisingly enough, is waiting for him when he arrives. She feels strangely empty, and her face is pale. Something happened. “Anakin,” she greets immediately.
“What happened?” Vader asks. ‘Is – where’s Padme? Is she alright?”
“She went into labor after you left,” Sabe explains. “And she… she didn’t make it.”
“No,” he whispers in denial, taking a step back. She can’t… no. This shouldn’t have happened. Sidious promised they could save her, and he didn’t. She’s gone. He can feel it in the Force. The sudden, gaping void he feels would make so much sense.
“I know she was… close to you,” she continues quietly. “I’m sorry.” Suddenly, how close she looks to tears actually makes sense. She was Padme’s sister in all but blood.
“The child?” he asks faintly. He feels faint. He failed her, his angel, and…
“Twins,” Sabe answers. “They survived, but… I need to tell you. I was in the room, and I could’ve sworn I felt something in there. It was…” She frowns.
“What?” he demands.
“Dark,” she states after a moment of consideration, “It was cold. I can’t explain it.”
The Dark Side, that’s what she was feeling. Vader can tell as much from her description. And that can only mean one thing. Padme isn’t dead from childbirth; she’s died from something else.
She was killed.
By Sidious.
“Show me,” he demands.
The ride over to the medcenter is completely silent. It’s not like there’s anything to say. As soon as Sabe takes him to the room, he senses it. The Dark Side is still hanging heavily in the room where Padme died. Sidious.
In that moment, grief crashes over him in a flood, followed by the sense of betrayal.
Why? Sidious promised him that he was going to save her. Vader did… all of this for her and their children, and… it was all for naught. Maybe, maybe he was able to save the twins, but Vader instinctively knows the truth. Sidious was lying to him, using him, the same way the Jedi were.
Whatever left in him that made him Anakin Skywalker shatters entirely in that moment. He has… nothing. No one, except his children, and he has to protect them from Sidious. And now, there’s only one way he can do that.
He calls Rex to join him and Sabe immediately. “Take the twins and get off planet,” he orders, determination settling over him.
“What are you going to do?” Sabe asks warily.
“They won’t be safe as long as they’re here,” he replies, dodging the question. “Just take them and go. Both of you. Don’t come back unless I tell you.” Because, even if he doesn’t die while fighting Sidious - he hopes he does. He doesn’t want to keep living, not while Padme and Obi-Wan are gone - he’s certain he won’t win. Sidious will, and if he kept Vader alive, it would be to remake him into an apprentice he could control completely. If things come to that, he wants the twins as far away from here as possible. This is something he has to face. Alone.
