The Heart of the Bad Batch

Chapter 32: Locked Up

Mentions of torture

My eyes fluttered open and I saw that I was in a cell. I set up and let out a groan.

"(Y/n)," A deep voice said.

I turned my head and saw my father behind me chained to the wall. He had a cut on his forehead and I quickly crawled over to him.

"What happened?" I asked as I tore a pice of my shirt off and bandaged his forehead.

"(Your mother's name) (M/n) kidnapped us. She came to the house and... I told her to leave... but she had a group of Bounty Hunters with her, the boys didn't have a chance." He said with a groan.

"Why?" I asked as I sent him a look of shock.

"I don't know... she didn't tell me." He said with a sigh.

"Did she do this to you?"

"No, Cad Bane did."

"I thought he was after her?" I asked shocked.

"Guess she was able to get him to help her." He said as he rubbed his forehead.

"Where is the others?"

"I don't know. They knocked me out and then took the boys."

"If she hurts them-"

"I'm sure they are fine." He said as he sent me a reassuring smile.

I heard footsteps and turned my head to see (m/n) and another man.

"Why is she here?" She asked as she glared at the man beside her.

"Well I wasn't going to leave her to contact the Jedi." He said with a frown.

"Maul-"

"Darth Maul? I thought you were dead." I said as I stood up.

"It will take more than Kenobi to kill me." Maul said with a frown.

"What's going on, (m/n)? Why are we here?" I growled out.

"Because (m/n) owes Jabba money and so she is selling your friends." Maul said calmly.

"No! You can't do this." I said as I looked at her shocked.

"It has already been done." Maul said as he turned and walked away.

"Mother please.... Please I am begging you." I said as tears streamed down my face.

Mail stopped waking and I saw (m/n) freeze up.

"Mother?" He asked as he turned to look at me.

"I'm her biological daughter." I said softly.

"You told me the child died." Maul growled out as (m/n) let out a gasp and held her throat.

"I..... thought..... she had!" She gasped out.

"Yet here she stands.... My legacy." Maul said as he walked up to the cage.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I shot him a glare.

"Tell me. Who is your father?" He asked calmly.

"I don't know.. he died when I was younger." I said softly.

He let out a chuckle arms shook his head.

"(Your age) years... you have lied to me." Maul said as he turned to look at her.

"I! I didn't lie! I thought the slavers killed her!"

"Slavers? You sold her?" He asked as he gritted his teeth.

"Mother Ta-"

"DON'T YOU DARE BLAME MY MOTHER!" He yelled as he slammed her against the wall.

"I... I only did what I thought was right."

He drew his saber and my eyes went wide.

"No! Don't kill her! Please!" I begged as I grabbed a hold of the bars.

He stopped and turned to look at me.

"She sold you... and you want me to spare her?" He asked with a frown.

"Look, she's a horrible mother. Probably the worse, and she wasn't always that way. But she once was a kind and loving woman. I know she has messed up and she has hurt me, but I don't want her dead." I said softly.

He dropped her and she let out a gasp of air. He walked up to me and looked me over.

"You're force sensitive." He said calmly.

"Yes... I am." I said with a frown.

He looked me over and backed up.

"You're strong.... I'm not surprised." He said with a smirk.

"Just leave her alone, Maul. She isn't suppose to even be here." (M/n) said as she gasped for air.

"But she is... tell me what is your name?"

I glared at him and then looked back over to her. She was on the ground holding her throat and coughing.

"I asked you a question, girl." He growled out.

"(Y/n).... (Y/n) (L/n)." I said softly.

"She still keeps your last name." Maul said as he turned to glare at her.

"It is my birth name." I said angrily.

He turned to look back at me and let out a chuckle.

"You have my temper.. that much is certain." He said with a smirk.

"Why would I-"

I instantly stopped talking and backed away from the cell. I saw a smirk appear on his face and he walked closer to the cell.

"And my smarts." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"No." I said as my eyes went wide.

"Oh but it is true.... My dear (y/n)... how you have grown so beautiful."

I looked over at (m/n) and saw that she was staring at the floor.

"You're lying."

"But I'm not. I am your father." Mail said with a smirk.
