Chapter Four: Vette's Judgement

Harry and Jaesa traveled silently through the forest glancing down at their datapads making sure they were going in the right direction but never talking. They were using the force to mask their presence. It took two hours to reach the edge of the forest, but when they emerged, they saw a bizarrely designed house. It looked like two separate buildings had been combined with another plopped-on top of the smaller side.

Detecting no wards, they ghosted to the side of the house that was facing the forest. A look inside showed a family of nine sitting around a badly beaten rectangular table. The family consisted of a man and woman at either end of the table. Along the longer edges of the table were six boys and a girl. All of them had ginger hair and were eating a small meal.

Looking at each other Harry signed for Jaesa to enter from the front while he would enter from the back. After setting their commlinks to sync with a countdown on her datapad, Harry was moving to the back door. Upon receiving the signal that he was in position Jaesa started a three-second countdown. With a beep from her commlink, Jaesa kicked the door in. Simultaneously she heard Harry doing the same to the other door. Within seconds of entering Jaesa had manipulated the clothes and tablecloth into makeshift ropes pinning the entire family to their seats.

"The rest of the house is clear." Harry announced in an intimidating voice as he stepped inside the room.

"I demand you let us go! You have no ri…" The woman started to shout before another piece of clothing found itself stuffed inside her mouth, effectively putting a stop to her high-pitched screeching.

"According to your laws, we have every right!" Jaesa snarled brandishing the contract. The man and woman's skin paled considerably when they saw the marriage contract.

"Yes, that's right, and we are here to exact payment in the form of one Ginevra Weasley." Harry stated coldly. Seeing the younger children's eyes dart quickly to the girl at the table Harry smirked saying, "Ah, Ginevra Weasley I assume. I will take you to your room to retrieve your belongings. Your new master may allow you to return eventually, although it will not be for a long time."

Jaesa let go of the control she was exerting on the younger girl's bindings. Not giving the girl a chance to run Harry put a hand on her shoulder. The girl tried to scramble away, causing Harry to dig his fingers in harder.

"I'll leave you to go over the contract with them." Harry told Jaesa before turning around and pushing Ginevra towards the stairs.

When she reached her room, Harry stopped her from going in, something felt off in the room. Reaching out his senses he quickly found the source. All the clothes had tracking charms on them. Oddly enough the clothes that she was wearing had no such charm.

"Those clothes you are wearing, how long since you bought them?" Harry asked coldly.

"A few hours ago, why?" the girl asked, feeling intimidated by the stranger.

"Figures, leave all your clothes, bar what you're wearing here. I won't have the embedded tracking charms allowing your parents to see where you are." Harry sneered.

Meanwhile, downstairs Jaesa was going over the terms for the contract, "The terms are non-negotiable. You will make no attempts to find Ginevra Weasley's location. That includes places of residence and current location, nor contact anyone else using any method of communication to have them do the same, including using code phrases. In exchange for this, we will not demand the additional fines to be leveled against you. However, if we find out that you have broken the terms of this contract, these fines will be demanded in full." Jaesa paused, taking a sip from her flask before asking, "Are these terms acceptable, or shall we demand the fines as well?"

"Yes, these terms are acceptable." the Weasley father said, "If this is what it takes, then take her." The mother, although still gagged, nodded eagerly in agreement.

Jaesa smirked inwardly as she heard a gasp from behind her. Unknowingly, these fools were most likely creating the foundations of their demise. Regardless, it would soon be in Vette's hands. They would either have a new sith, or a new slave. Either way, Ginevra would be signing a contract herself, binding her to the empire. It didn't take long for the mother and father to sign the contract and before long they were rebound in their chairs. When all was done Jaesa pushed Ginevra out the door.

Two Hours Later

The group of three had been trekking through the forest for a while, doubling back now and then. Harry glanced back, scanning their surroundings for any sign of pursuit. It was clear Ginevra was tired, and if her face was anything to go by, angry. One thing was certain, the girl was reasonably powerful, just under where Vette stood on the power scale. The question that remained, however, was she willing to be trained. It was another half an hour later that they finally reached the cloaked ship's location.

Harry lowered the ramp and said to Ginevra, "Walk up the ramp. Your new master awaits."

Tentatively she walked up the ramp, only to shriek at the sight of Vette.

"This the girl?" Vette asked, inclining her head to Jaesa and Harry who nodded. Vette merely smirked as she remembered the test she had prepared for the girl. Raising her hand, she curled it into a fist choking Ginevra as the girl struggled against the invisible force stopping her from breathing and eventually passed out. When she came to, she was in a small clearing, alone, and judging from the sky it was almost night. Feeling oddly rejuvenated after the long hike she had been forced to undertake she stood up.

"Hello?" she called out.

There was no answer.

"Great, they've left me here to die." she thought bitterly, "If I can just find a town then I'll be free."

Following the trail as best as she could, the girl soon came upon what her father described as a muggle torch. Looking the cylindrical device over, she found a button on the side, and remembering her father shining the light in her face pointed the flat end away from her. Instead of the light she expected, a blood-red beam of light extended from the flat part with a hiss, illuminating part of the trail. She dropped it in shock. That shock was further increased when instead of not only passing through a rock it also cleaved it in half. Carefully picking the weapon up she headed down the trail and into a forest, happy to have some light. Hearing something move behind her she looked behind her to see what looked like some sort of large worm with arms and many rows of sharp teeth lunging at her. Clumsily swiping at the creature, she was rewarded with its head dropping to the floor, it's neck glowing orange.

Deciding the forest was too dangerous to carry on, the girl decided to take practice swings at different objects to get a feel for the weapon. The first thing she noticed was that the blade didn't seem to weigh anything, or at least was so light that it couldn't be felt. She didn't know how long she stood there practicing, but eventually, she felt somewhat confident she could defend herself against the animals in the forest.

Oddly enough she didn't encounter many more animals once she started moving again. That is until she started at a crack. Looking down she found that she had stepped on one of many animal bones that littered the path up ahead. Knowing the only way to go back was to the clearing she pressed on trying to tread on as few bones as possible. Every crack seemed to make her jumpier and jumpier until at last, she stumbled upon a cave. Carefully looking into the cave, she heard a loud explosion from above, she darted into the cave looking back just in time to see massive boulders falling in front of the entrance. Cursing her luck, she moved further into the cave raising her blade higher to illuminate more of the cave. After following the cave through many winding passages, she came across a metal door. Seeing no way to open it she tried using the blade to cut a hole and to her satisfaction, she was able to cut a hole in the door big enough for her to fit through.

On the other side, she found a wide corridor with dark grey metal walls. Deactivating the weapon with a hiss she kept it in her hand as she cautiously moved forward. Hearing movement she hid inside one of two alcoves only for a door to seal her inside. The alcove that she thought would be safe started moving up. After a few minutes, the alcove stopped moving the doors opened to reveal the stormy sky. Two pig-like creatures pulled her out of the alcove before she impaled one in the chest with the blade of light. Turning to the other one she stepped backward as it ran at her raising its axe to strike at her. She tried to raise her blade to deflect it but had forgotten to take into account the fact that it would cut the axe head off of the weapon causing it to graze her left cheek drawing blood. Angered, she swung the weapon at the creature's head cutting half of it off, but not before she was pushed into the courtyard and away from safety as a transparent blue barrier materialized in front of it blocking her only exit.

Loud laughter reverberated all around her as she attempted to penetrate the blue barrier with her blade only for it to violently be knocked out of her hand. Rushing over to it as it rolled away, she snatched it back up looking around as more of the blue barriers materialized surrounding her completely.

"Hmm." said a deep voice emanating from a transparent blue worm that was flickering, then laughed as the girl tried to cut through him with her blade. "Feisty aren't you, little girl. Let's see how resistant you are after my beasts deal with you." As he said that she saw a hole open in the barrier of the circular open room she found herself in. The creature was silhouetted against the barrier until it was briefly lit by lightning, long enough for the girl to see its massive claws and mouth full of teeth towering above her. "I do hope you enjoy my Rancor, if you hadn't been so feisty, I might have kept you as a slave, but you're hardly worth the effort."

With that, the blue worm disappeared, and the rancor charged at her. Remembering her older brothers mentioning something about large creatures having a hard time turning quickly, she waited until the last moment and dashed to the side. As the creature's clawed hand rushed to meet her. Throwing herself down to the floor she let her momentum carry herself past the creature's arm and tried to stand up. Slipping a couple of times, she still had enough time to run up to its leg and swing the blade through it. As the creature tumbled onto its side she rushed to where its head was and started trying to hack it's head off. In response, the rancor swatted her away and into the blue barrier with such speed that she momentarily blacked out on impact.

When she came to the rancor was crawling its way towards her. Scrambling to her feet she grabbed the blade lying near her and ran behind it chopping one of its arms off, before doing the same to the other arm, and finally hacking its head off. Wiping her forehead of sweat and rain she saw a shallow cut along her stomach. Touching it briefly caused a stinging sensation, however, she didn't have time to ponder this as more creatures entered the room.

Two feline creatures stalked around her. They had wide jaws and rat-like tails. They both took up positions opposite each other and got ready to pounce. Just as they did, she ducked causing them to hit each other. However, as they fell one of them clawed at her back opening a deep gash causing her to scream in pain, collapsing beside the two injured cats.

"If I am to die, I'll at least take your pets with me!" she spat hatefully as she used the last of her strength to cut the two cats in half.

Four Hours Earlier

"Do you mind telling us why you just made your potential apprentice fall unconscious?" Jaesa asked with a definite edge in her voice.

"Because she wouldn't take the test seriously enough if I simply put her in it." Vette replied respectfully as she levitated the girl to her room. Inside connected to the wall was a helmet with a multitude of wires connected to it.

"Isn't that one of those virtual entertainment programs you told me about Jaesa?" Harry asked.

"It is indeed, although I still find myself wondering what use it could be." Jaesa said.

"I modified and reprogrammed it so that it would inflict appropriate pain to the user for injuries. I also made a test program that ends with an arena of sorts that will keep sending creatures to face the girl until she is defeated." Vette said noting with satisfaction the twin grins being directed towards her creation.

"What are you arming her with?" Jaesa asked.

"A single-bladed lightsaber." Vette replied hooking the girl into the device, "If she misses it, there are several more places where she can pick one up. If she fails to do so by the last opportunity, then she will automatically fail and be ejected."

Sitting down in a chair in front of her monitor she summoned a chair for Harry and Vette to watch the display as it flickered to life showing the girl in the chair.

Present Time

Harry looked at Jaesa, who nodded and said "Well if you want her as an apprentice then convince her.

Jaesa rose and tossed a datapad at Vette who looked at it questioningly. "Information on the girl." was all she said.

"She will become my apprentice or become a slave." Vette said, "Those are her only options."

A/N: So, there we have it, Ginny's test. I wonder how many of you figured out what had happened to Ginny. Next time we see Ginny's reaction.
