Hondo. Was a thief and a bandit.
He had taken me away. Away from what I knew. Now I was inside his building, and my family was far away.
I had been here for two days now. And I haven’t gotten anything to eat. I was just so hungry. I was starving. Not only for food, but for relationship. I wanted a friend to talk to, because I became so lonely in this abandoned pirate cell.
A voice wake me up from my dreamy sleep,
«Hagar.» it was Ohnakas voice, and I heard his footsteps nearing the cell. «Are you awake my dear?» he came close to the bars, and I stood up on my feet.
«Two Jedi are here.» he smiled, «And I was thinking that I could sell you for a worthy price.» He locked up the door with the key, and two other pirates came in and grabbed me by my arms, one on each side of me, and they led me out.
«You’re gonna sell me?» My eyes was focused on Hondo, «Why? I want to go home. I want to see my family.»
Hondo laughed at me,
«Oh my dear. A pirate never return a prisoner back where it came from. We only sell it away.» harsh laughing.
I lowered my gaze, and looked down at my feet, as they led me through the corridor.
«But I must say you’re lucky.» Hondo continued, «At least there are good people who maybe wants to buy you.»
I looked at him in disbelief,
«Why would Jedi ever want to buy me?»
Hondo laid a finger over my lips,
«Hush. Hush my dear. We are here now. We are here.»
I saw the Jedi sitting with a table in the main area with their drinks. And the pirates led me towards them. I saw that one of them where a Togruta species, at my own age, and the other one where a dark-haired young man in dark robes. And his left hand where covered with a hansk. And as I wondered why he was only covering only one hand, the pirates placed my in front of them.
«See here are a fine piece of my collection.» Hondo said proud, «She comes with this force-powers, wich makes her extra valuable. And she will make a fine service to you in the Republic, but you’l maybe should tame her first, if you’re gonna deal with her. If she runs away, don’t come to me and beg for another girl.»
The young man took a deep breath, looked down at his hands, and then back up at Hondo, he didn’t even look at me,
«Why do you think I want a girl?»
The Togruta looked sharply on the pirate-king,
«What have you done now, Hondo? Have you kidnapped this poor creature?»
«This is bussiness.» Ohnaka stated, «Do you want her or not? She can be free, it is only up to you. If you are not to buy anything, then I’ll say bye, bye. And this one is going back to the cell. Or maybe you’ll like to end up as prisoners your self?»
A saddened feeling flowed up in me, and I turned around to look at Hondo,
«You can’t keep me here.» I protested.
«Oh Hush hush hush my dear. Everything is gonna be just fine.» he stroke my cheek, «Just fine.»
In that moment, I just wanted to back away from him, but the two other pirates held me fast.
The Jedi at the table raised up, and I saw something like lightning appear in the young mans eyes,
«Save your trouble, Hondo.» He said angrily, «Here are some Republic-credits. Now give me the girl.» He slammed a pile of them on the table, wich The Pirate-King immediately embraced.
The two other pirates released me, they pushed me forward, and I fell at the feet of the Jedi-Knight. I looked up at him in fear as I stumbled back.
«Forgive me, sir.»
«It’s okay.» he said calmly, «What’s your name?»
«Hagar.» I replied.
«Nice to meet you, Hagar. I’m Anakin, and this is my Padawan Ahsoka.» he said and gestured towards the Togruta.
I just nodded.
«Now lets get you to the ship.» He continued, «And we will find your family.»
«Thank you.» I replied.
«No need to thank. We are just happy to help.»
The Padawan came around me and laid her robe over my bare shoulders.
«So, Hagar. Its time to leave. Lets get you home.»
