Chapter 4

(Seela Tualin. She came prepared to dance)

3rd Perspective
The room went silent. The crew, everyone in the room was shocked. Except Nala, Ezra, Lexi, and of course Zander. They all this information.

"Y-you were a slave?" Seela stuttered. By the time Zander was finally in the center everyone was staring at them.

"Yes, we were," Zander said. Liz and Zander looked at each other, then back at their aunts.

"You're lying right? Th-there's no proof of you two being slaves," Arruna begged what Liz said wasn't true. Zander pulled his shirt from the neck hole and stopped when the right side of his chest was a visible.

There was a fading red mark: S-326. It was burnt onto his skin. Many people turned away, others couldn't help but stare, the rest covered their mouths in shock.

"I have the same mark. It says S-327, mother was S-325 and father was S-324," Liz sadly said. Arruna stepped closer to them. Tears ran down her face, slowly. She went in and hugged them. Her sobs were now loud, Zander and Liz hugged back. Seela also went in for the hug. She too, was crying.

"Aunt Arruna, aunt Seela, don't cry. We're fine, see." Zander let go of the hug, along with Liz. "We are here, in this room together. That's all that matters."

"Wait, so if your family were slaves then, where are they?" Cham stepped in.

"They were taken by the Empire, typical of them. The Spectres tried to find my parents, if they were died or alive. No files were found. I tried on my own too. Broke into Imperial files when I was fifteen," Liz explained.

"Hold it there, sister," Zander forced Liz to face him. "You broke into Imperial files when you were fifteen?"

Liz nodded.

"How were you able to do that. You need training, gadgets, hacking skills to be able to do that kind of stuff."

"I learned how to hack when I was a bounty hunter," Liz covered her mouth as fast as possible. Now the room was loud as it could be. Nobody could here their own voice.

"Is this true Ezra?" Kanan asked.

"Yes." Ezra didn't look at him he stared at Liz. She has been keeping the secret of being a bounty hunter from his brother for years.

"Okay, Liz." Arruna pulled out a chair and made her sit on it. "You have a lot to explain. You are going to explain either way! Now start when you were born."

"When I was born?" Liz pouted.

"When you were born," Seela repeated Arruna.

"I was born 4 days after Empire day, umm, my home world is Lothal. Uhh, my parents are Ella and Leonardo Vallis. And I have an older brother named Zander," Liz said.

"Continue," Arruna said.

(So, I'm gonna go do 'flashbacks' to make it easier. I am doing this because there won't be any interruptions and it will go by faster.)

*flashback*

Two years after Liz was born the Empire were taking away homes and children to be trained in the Empire. As what Liz was told. Her family ran and ran, as far away as possible. A few days later, they were roaming Capital City, with no money, hungry, and no home. Their clothes were dirty and they felt like they lost everything, which they did. Until this nice man came along and told them that he helps people and families after they lost everything to the Empire.

He gave them shelter in his ship, food and new clothes. The man gave the Vallis family a deal, he found a home where the Empire barley goes and search for people. He showed them a hologram of the house, Ella and Leonardo loved it. Unfortunately, it was on a different planet.

They accepted anyways. Yet, it came with a contract. Ella and Leonardo were suspicious, but they were desperate for a home they signed the contract without even reading it. Which was the biggest mistake of their lives.

The man, known as Sal Zudway, took them to a planet called Zygerria. There, Leonardo and Ella tried to attack him, but fail as guards held them back, unable to move.

"You can't do this," Leonardo yelled. "We aren't slaves, we didn't agree on this!"

"Oh, yes you did," Zudway showed them contract. It was a contract on agreeing to be his slaves for life. He wanted to make sure he would keep the slaves and that nobody will be able to take them away from him.

Once, they landed on the planet, they were given cloaks to cover up and Mr. Zudway took them to his mansion. He was second most famous slave owner on Zygerria.

He owned to many slaves to count, and he added more every month. And that month was the Vallis family. He had the parents and Zander get the slave number burnt onto their skin. Little Zander cried, being only seven at the time. Liz was only two, Zudway went easy on her, he said he wouldn't let her work until she was four. But she will start training at the age of three.

In the mean time, Liz befriended Mr. Zudway's adopted son, Lucas Zudway. He was two years older, but that didn't stop them from playing with each other. Once Liz hit three years old, she began training right away. A month later she could already be a servant. She knew how to talk, a few words she still didn't know or couldn't pronouce right.

A few days after she was able to be a servant, the Queen of Zygerria was asking for new slaves. Saying her old ones, were 'to sick' to continue to work and that they died of their 'sickness.' She was looking young slaves that were strong and would behave. Zudway took the Vallis family to the Queen and showed her what they were able to do. Ella was a professional dancer and singer, Leonardo and Zander would work on building statues and buildings.

"I have a three year old girl. She is still practicing on being a servant. If you don't want her, I could keep her," Zudway held the chains atrached to Liz's wrists. Ella let out a big no. She began to cry, her family was about to be separated. She got whipped because of that. Leonardo tried to stop the guard from abusing his wife. Zander and Liz began to cry as well.

"Enough!" The Queen yelled. The room was silent. She got up from her throne and walked to Liz. Ella and Leonardo held her breath, waiting to see what the Queen might do to their baby girl.

"Shh," the Queen calmed down Liz, she stopped her crying when the Queen kneeled in front of her. She cupped Liz's cheeks, Liz laughed. "I'll like to keep her too."

Ella and Leonardo began to sob quietly. Their baby girl was about to be taken away and raised by the Queen of Zygerria, Ruler of everyone on this planet, Master of all slaves.

~I am sorry. I suck at bad last and first names. I can't come up with any good ones.
