He didn't even notice she was gone. He just thought she was just being quiet beside him. He was loading groceries in the speeder quickly when he turned and saw she was not even near him. Panicking, Anakin dropped all of his bags and searched the parking lot with his eyes. The parking lot wasn't that busy, just a few speeders here and there.
He shouldn't have brought her, but Leia had insisted.
There would have been a tantrum but he avoided it quickly by saying she could go. He remembered calling for Luke to see if he wanted to go, but Leia was chanting, "No Lukie!" over and over. So then Luke had to stay with Padmé.
Now Focusing on finding his daughter, he jogged while calling out for her.
"Leia!"
When he didn't recieve an answer he decided to use the Force to locate her, but it was too clouded with fear and unfocused attention to it.
By now Anakin was freaking out.
"No please no..." "Not Leia..."
He knew for a fact that she didn't go in the store because it was impossible for her to reach the handle, and it wasn't automatic doors.
What if she got hurt?
Kidnapped?
She was probably scared as hell and it was exactly how he was feeling but only two times worse. He felt an urge of overprotectivness of his daughter. If anyone hurt her, his baby girl, he doesn't even want to know what he would do to that person, and that frightened him to an extent.
Desperate for anything he yelled for her name one more
time, but more louder. Giving up, he pulled his hair and sat down on the side walked curb and let out a frustersted growl. Tears flooded his vision and thoughts of never seeing Leia again, surfaced his mind. He was thinking of facing a irate and sad Padmè, Luke not having a sister, and him being an horrible father and have to live with this the rest of his exsisting life.
He looked up, and suddenly saw a tall muscular figure carrying a tiny figure. He squinted suddenly and saw it was her.
Leia! Thank the living Force!
But he suddenly figured someone he didn't know had his Princess. Who the hell had his daughter anyway and why was he holding her?
Seeing red, he stood up and stalked over to the man holding Leia. Anger clearly on his face, he finally approached the man, a snarl already on his young handsome features.
"Give me my daughter now, " Anakin growled.
This loud and desperate request had gotten his daughter's attention and she looked up from the man's chest with tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Daddy!"
"Shh, it's okay baby girl I'm here."
He grabbed her still eyeing the man suspicisouly.
The man to Anakin's surprise right away gave Leia to him. He kissed her soft curls, and he started to vent to him but before he could say anything the man spoke first.
"You should keep an eye on your daughter, young one. You're just lucky I was a decent man."
