Nightmare

Count Dooku stepped forward, his long, dark robes trailing behind him. Y/n trembled , her mind flashing back to all that had happened to her at his hands. He had abused her readily when she failed. Hurting her when she did not do what he asked of her. Any hesitation was punished, any uncertainty punished. Betrayal, was unthinkable.

'You have betrayed me, y/n. You're betrayal will cost you much.'

Y/n looked up, knowing this to be true. Taking a deep breath, she tried to stop the tears from falling, tried to mentally prepare for the pain she was going to face.

'But I won't harm you.' he said.

He turned, looking past her shoulder at the handsome captain who had come up at her shoulder. She looked at Rex, tried to turn, but her feet seemed as if they were stuck in cement. She tried to say his name, but couldn't get it past the lump in her throat. She could only watch as Count Dooku raised his lightsaber, and threw it at Rex, guiding it with the force, until he was down, no blood, no chance to run. Rex was dead.
