What Happens When You're Rich

[Jack Hailbranch]

The Rez family....big time credit makers...Carlos himself, a rich boy who had nothing but time on his hands...time that couldn't even be spent with his parents due to their endless traveling. The sixteen year old boy wasn't even able to go with them. Carlos had only one....his sock puppet and that was not saying much especially since his sock puppet was a complete and utter jerk to him. He did although meet Koa Para...Koa had talked to him about how weird it was for a person his age to have a puppet. What did Koa know him and his red tattoos, headband and stupid dog. Carlos sighed as he pulled on his grey shirt and pulled up his jeans. He then began to pull on his flannel shirt. Smiling the blond grabbed his credit pouch and secured it to his belt. For some reason he never liked the idea of wearing high class cloths, especially since he would get bothered by the homeless, and although he was more than willing to give his sock puppet said he would stop talking to him if the blonde gave away one more credit. Carlos opened his apartment door and took the elevator down. Reaching the lobby he smiled at the random people. Carlos walked outside and walked to the corner near a alleyway and a bar. Carlos felt his sock puppet twitch in his pocket. He reached his hand in and the sock puppet slip on. Pulling him out Carlos smiled. "wwhat?" He asked as he yawned. The puppet was silent for a. "Well, I need a pint of booze in my system or im going to turn into a jerk." The puppet said. "Aren't you already a jerk?" Carlos mumbled the puppet looked up. "WWhat...get me a drink kid cmon." Carlso looked at him. "Anyway I can't even purchase booze I'm sixteen." The puppet said. Carlos sighed as he looked around for someone to purchase booze for his puppet. Although the puppet could not actually talk, Carlos believed it did.

"My queen, why we come to this place?" The Graug warrior snarled in his native tongue, his eyes shifting among the crowds of people. No one dared return the stare; they knew how grossly barbaric the Graug could be. Queen Kyriss, for one, enjoyed their fear. It made her feel powerful, gave her just a taste of what her brother Darth Vulcanus must of had during his time as a Sith Lord. Soon enough, the entire Graug species would know what it was like and they would have the Empire they had all dreamed of for so long.

"Patience my child, we have come for good reason. Now that our oppressors are gone, we must prepare to forge our empire in the fires of battle and conquest; to do that we must know our enemies." The queen's voice was hollow and fluid, like the echo of running water through a cavern. She cared not if these lessers heard her, they were beneath her and her people; they would pose no challenge for the Graug might. "We require a new stock of slaves to replace those freed by the Republic mongrels, this place will serve nicely for our first subjects."

As they moved down the street, a small voice caught the Queen's attention. It sounded as if there was a conversation going on, but there was only one voice. Turning down the alley, the Queen spotted a young boy looking around for something; a small puppet hanging from his hand. The Graug Queen gave him an odd stare, observing him from the end of the alley as she watched him speaking to the puppet; eyes locked right on the thing as if he were really having a conversation. Interesting, the crazy and homeless were always good slave options as they were rarely missed.

"Interesting. Fron, Joras, be good boys and fetch him over here for me" the queen commanded to two of her four Graug warriors, both growling in understanding before moving to grab the boy and drag him before the Queen.

The puppet had silenced and the young rich Rez boy sighed. He put it away in his pocket and brushed his hands together.

Carlos had heard a woman's voice accompanied by four Graug warrior's footsteps. Carlos had thought nothing of it until two of the four warriors began to walk up to him.

"What the?" He said in confusion as he was pulled away towards the woman who he had heard earlier. He tried pulling away but the two creatures were too strong for the sixteen year old boy. He was brought to the woman, he looked up and smiled, completely unaware of what the danger was.

"Ummm excuse me ma'am, can you uh if possible...could you uh....Please tell your friends to uh let me go?" The young teen asked.

"My shirt is wrinkling...." He added.

The boy continued to stare at the woman, he then continued to smile as he tried to get his arms free to straighten his shirt.

"UUgh...I wish Ethan was here." The boy sighed he hadn't seen or heard from his older brother in years. The older Rez had left quite some time ago to pursue his dream....wwhatever it was he said it was one of the most dangerous games someone could ever get into....aalthough he would not specify what it was.

The queen returned the boys smile, though hers was not a friendly one; no, it was a a twisted grin of satisfaction. "I would not worry about your shirt if I were you, sweet child" Kyriss sang, gently dragging her claws over the boy's cheek. "You should not struggle against them boy, we are here to fulfill your destiny." Kyriss smiled sweetly, motioning for her Graug to throw the boy to his knees and release him. This particular human would do nicely as a palace servant, he was young and weak so he would be easy to control. He would also be a nice subject for the more adventurous of her sisters; there had been a sudden spike in interest of alien sexuality ever since the Graug had interacted with the Sith Empire long under Krag's rule.

"Tell me lesser child, what is this?" Kyriss questioned as she motioned for one of her Graug to grapple the boy's arm and force the puppet from his pocket to hand to the queen.

Carlos' s smile quickly faded as the queen gave hers, it was not a very nice one in his opinion. The woman said he should not worry about his shirt. Carlos felt her claws moving lightly on his cheek. As he listened he heard a tone in her voice that was harsh....yet so alluring. He then looked at her when she said they were here to fill his destiny. Carlos looked confused. The rich Rez boy turned his head and lifted his eyebrows. "I have a destiny?" The boy asked as he was forced onto his knees before the woman. He then felt one of her guards...the one pull his arm and rip the pupped from the boys pocket. Carlos looked at the puppet and felt his eyes tear. "Hey! T-thats mine" he said loudly but then hushed his voice. "That's my friend...he talks to me....he's always been there when my parents were out at parties or on or on business meetings...I know he can be a jerk but...he is my only friend...next to that Koa kid." He said sadly. He then perked up and smiled as he heard his puppet. "Hey kid...I go to sleep for one minute and now you let some monster take me? Where is my beer!" Carlos looked at the puppet. "Im sorry... I didn't mean to let them get you...tthey just took you, and remember im sixteen I can't" The boy said. The puppet then sighed. and stopped talking again. Carlos sighed and turned back up to the woman.

The queen extended her hand and the Graug dropped the puppet into her hand before bowing and backing away. Already the woman was glaring down at the boy with slight smirk on her lips. Turning the puppet in her hand, she inspected the toy with curiosity. It looked simple enough, no wires, no force trickery. It was simply a toy, which meant that his boy was mad.

"Don't worry, your toy is safe with me lesser child" Kyriss spoke softly, placing the puppet into a compartment on her in her traditional Graug dress. Then, with yet another smile, she continued her previous train of thought. "You share your destiny with the rest of your race, well most of them anyway. Your people aren't fit for the lives they live. Your people are fit only for what the strong deem they are fit for." bending at the waist, Kyriss reached her claws out and pinched the rich boy's cheek.

"We are the strong and we say you are only fit to work."

"Wait...but, no that's my friend he doesn't like being in a stranger's . "He said as he only could look.

"MMy destiny...bbut what about my mother, father and brother....oour business...." He said, as she continued, he could only shake his head slowly.

"You're wrong.....wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong." He said as he continued to shake his head.

The woman began to pinch his cheek.

"How do ylu define strong....surely you cannot classify a whole race as unfit to do anything but work....on what grounds!" He said as he felt a bit hurt.
