Entering his breathing chamber, Darth Vader sat down on black metallic chair.
Allowing the machine to take his helmet off, he took a breath of the filtered air. It had been weeks since he had been able to take a break from his duties.
In his last mission, he had slaughtered over one hundred Jedi Knights. The Emperor had been pleased. So he thought he had earned this small break.
Standing, he walked over to the small storage unit he kept in the room. In it, he kept a small notebook.
Opening it, he turned to the first page. The image that greeted him was haunting. It was a holo-print of himself before he had been put into the suit. He kept it there to remind himself of the price he paid for failing to kill Kenobi.
Turning to the middle of the book, he marked off his victory.
One hundred Jedi.
The Jedi Purge was nearly in its final stages. Vader himself had massacred nearly three quarters of the Jedi population. Each and every time he killed one, he recorded it in his book.
Their deaths had bought him great pleasure. He began to run his hands over his face – taking in the scars and the shape they took to mar his face.
He started to put the book away, but noticed something had fallen out.
Bending down, he picked up the loose object.
Scrunching it up, he threw it back down.
Feeling the anger rise, he put his menacing black helmet back on. With a quick flick of his hand, he effortlessly threw the storage unit and the chair against the wall.
Smirking, he left the room, with the shattered pieces of the meagre objects lying on the floor.
And as the chamber closed, the torn face of Padmè Amidala remained with the broken shards.
