When she was nine years old, Nas stowed away on a privateer ship named “The Gallant Lady” commanded by the great Captain Celrek “Hawk eye” Ardran. His first mate Swift Hand Luke found the little passenger hiding in the cargo shivering, wearing only what looked like a feed sack for a tattered dress. He yanked her up by the collar and hauled her to the captains quarters, scolding her the whole way on what the consequences might be. At the very least she would be stranded on some planet, the worst, she would be sold into slavery. Her big grey eyes began to well up not wanting either of those, then fear took hold when they came to Captain Hawk Eye’s office door.
Nas struggled trying her hardest to run. Swift Hand only held on tighter as the Captain opened his door. The Captain narrowed his gaze on her and commanded her to stand still. She did and lowered her head, wanting nothing more then to disappear at that moment. Unable to choke back her tears any further, she cried and shivered more. That did it, Captain Hawk Eye might have been many things but cruel was not one of them. His look softened and he brought her into his quarters, he ordered Swift Hand to get a plate of food for her while the Captain thought of what to do with her.
Nas sat in a chair with her tiny hands in her lap, feet dangling over the edge. She decided to speak up and try her case. She told him that she could dance, cook, clean and that she was a fast learner. His back turned to her, he smiled at her boldness then made his face blank when he turned to face her. He told her he already had a crew that cooked and cleaned. She begged him to stay, that she would be no trouble, he wouldn’t even know she was there. He knew better then that, a twi’leck female even though she was a child; would certainly catch the crew’s attention. He sighed heavily and looked to the door when he heard a knock. He ordered the other being to come in. It was Swift Hand with a piping hot plate of food. Nas’s eyes widened feeling her stomach jerk with hunger pains. It had been two days since her last meal and that plate was gold. Swift Hand sat the plate down on the table and waited for Captain’s orders.
The Captain dismissed him and asked Nas to come to the table and have a seat. She did just that, eying the plate but she would not dare touch it until he said it was okay. He pushed the plate toward her and told her to dig in. She did literally. She picked up the meat in her left hand and the bread in her right, filling her tiny mouth till she could barely chew. Hawk Eye stopped her and showed her how to use her silverware, how to cut her food and slow down. After she was done he gave her a blanket and pillow and created a pallet on the floor by his bed for her. He told her, she would stay here until he could figure out a place for her. She hopped excitedly up and down grinning from ear to ear. He reminded her that if he couldn’t find her a position on his ship that she would have to leave. …more to come
