  Leia's eyes widened in fear. The settling in that she's about to go through so much pain. At Majka's side was an IT-O Torture Droid. She'd heard whispers about these droids — torture devices invented by twisted Imperial minds. It is said that they can deliver unimaginable pain. Pain so intense that it has never been experienced before — worse than pain from any disease or wound known in the universe.

Usually, Majka never even has to use it. Just by having one at her side it usually gets the criminal to confess. The fear the droid instills in them is almost always enough.

"Are you ready to discuss the position of the Rebel Base?" Majka asked. She shooed her guards outside after tying the Princess down, before she began staring into the young Princess' eyes.

"It's useless to ask me such a thing. I'd never give up innocents to the evil of the Empire." Leia quickly said.

"That's a shame. Your highness, I don't want to use this on you if I don't have to. But I will if you prove it's needed." Majka stared at her.

"You'll never get any information out of me." Leia said.

"Is that a promise?" Majka asked bending to meet her eye level, "Because I think you're smart enough to know I have a way to make you tell me."

The Princess kept her mouth shut. She wouldn't let Majka have the pleasure of seeing her afraid. So she did the same thing anyone would do in her situation. Leia spit right into her face.

Majka sighed, wiping the saliva off her brow. In frustration she waved her hand in front of Leia's face. She felt through the force and into Leia's mind. But Leia kept her mind shut, she willed it in her being to keep it all to herself. It was a lot of effort on her part though, as Majka was so skilled in this area of searching through memories.

She pulled away. Majka couldn't finish. It was the small part of her that was still (Y/N). Leia was screaming from resisting her brain to her hand. Majka recognized that the Princess must be reasonably strong in the Force to resist her this much.

There was a moment between the two women. Majka saw something when searching Leia's mind. She swore in her memory she saw a flash of a face she knew all too well. It was the face of (Y/N), the self she once was. Majka reasoned in her head that maybe it was a photo that was in Alderaan because of her parents. But the image she saw was of her face, crying above her and mouthing the words:

It's gunna be okay.. It's gunna be okay..

There was no way that could be in her brain? She tried to shake it out of her head, but she couldn't.

"What? Are you tired?" Leia smiled, she acted smug, the way Majka used to when she was young.

"Tell me, Princess, were you by any chance adopted?" Majka stared at her. Leia was confused by the sudden change in questioning.

"What does my family life have to do with any of this?" Leia asked, her brain was in so much pain. Beads of sweat fell down her face and dangled into her mouth. The salty water teasing her dehydration. And her pale face the only thing that gave away her small smile.

"I figure we're close enough now, don't you think?" Majka sat across from where she was restrained.

"Close isn't what I would call it." Leia hissed. She felt violated, her mind boggled and twisted at the sight of a hand.

Majka stared at the girl. Could it be possible? She didn't understand how but it had to be. There couldn't be any way that her face could be in her head. Leia probably doesn't even know. Regardless, Majka couldn't do the thing she was best at anymore. Looking at her gave her the same feeling she did when she gave her finger to her child's hand.

She wanted to cry again. She wanted to feel her child in her arms again. She wanted to watch her family be in front of her. She wanted the children to hug her and fill her with love again. She wanted to feel her husbands hand in hers again.

"I'm sorry." She muttered. Because for some reason she felt the need to say it. Majka wasn't evil. She couldn't be. She hated everything about her position but she was stuck in it. And for a moment, she revealed this to some girl.

"Listen Majka, I don't know who you are, or where you came from. But I don't care. And you won't get to know anything about me or those plans." Leia said, regaining her strength, "At least not while I'm still alive."

"That can be arranged!" Majka yelled in frustration and then she had to leave the torture chamber.

Her own heart felt overwhelmed with outrageous emotion. There would be no way that this was her daughter? She was lost in the lava on Mustafar along with the rest of her life and family.

"Majka, how'd it go in there?" Tarkin was waiting at the end of the detention block.

"She resisted me. She won't talk." Majka said. Even though she truly didn't try her hardest at all.

"Perhaps she just needs an extra push is all." Tarkin rose an eyebrow, "We'll give her an hour to regain her strength and then bring her to me on the observatory bridge. I think our little Princess has just decided where our first stop will be in displaying our new technology."

"You don't think I gave her an extra push?" Majka stared at him.

"I think she can be reasonable. This was once a member of the Imperial Senate. Maybe torture isn't the way to go about this." Tarkin walked away, leaving Majka back on her own.

The two parts of her again were torn. With one side rejoicing to show her strength over the galaxy, and to blast away the last remnant of her past as she had done to the rest. She'd killed everything that lived in (Y/N). She's killed (Y/N). But the other caring part of her, the part of her that craves the light screamed in terror of her last bit of light began to die.

Majka went as quickly as possible to her meditation chanber. She stripped herself of all of her armor. All the useless junk she used to hide her body and contain her pain. Instead of containing it she screamed. She screamed so loudly and let it all out.

In some way, some how, she knew. She knew that something was wrong at the beginning. She knew that this couldn't have happened. But she never had the proof. She never had the evidence to prove the claim wrong. She screamed. And kept screaming until her voice grew hoarse and she felt her head spin from the ringing of her hearing aids. She felt it. It wasn't a matter of anyone telling her that she didn't have a family, she knew she did.

And now was the time for her to prove to everyone she wasn't a joke. That she isn't just a ploy for the Empire, that instead she and her family are the Empire. Majka stared at herself. In it she saw the half that was still human. And she allowed herself to keep this piece, no matter how painful it is.
