A Rush of Blood to the Head

AU What if Anakin never turned to the Dark Side and he went into hiding with the other Jedi. In Naboo, he meets a strange young beauty with a secret of her own. Written from Padme's POV.

1. Introduction

Disclaimer: Star Wars isn't mine!

My name is Padme Amidala,

Four months ago the war in the Republic intensified. Jedi were hunt down and killed. Democracy became dictatorship. The Dark Side took over. All who rebelled were killed. And those of us who were smart enough to remain inconspicuous survived. My mother and father are senators. They kept quiet to protect our family. But now they have started infiltrating people's minds, weeding out the faithful and slaughtering the rest. It isn't safe anymore. So my parents sent my sister, Kira, and I to our home planet, Naboo. We couldn't risk living in the palace, so we were sent to live with my mother's distant cousins in a secluded town. Which is where we are now.

Author's Note: This is my first ever story, so I'm really sorry for any minor mistakes. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my writing, please do tell! :)
