Prologue
The little boy is running away from the only home and family he had ever known. This morning, his aunt had lost her baby. It was not his fault, but his aunt had tripped to a toy he had forget to put in place after he had play with it. Unfortunately, this forget toy had cause his aunt to have a miscarriage. And his uncle was furious with him. The little boy understand his uncle fury, it was not the first time that his uncle show how much he don't understand his nephew. But this time he had hit him. Sure, his uncle has regret his act as soon as his hand had fall onto the little boy cheek. His uncle had try to apologies, and the little boy has act as if he had truly forgive him. But, deep down, his uncle had just convince him that he is useless.
His aunt was send to Mos Eispa to be checked by a doctor. His uncle had leave the farm and go to the city with his wife and nephew. Apparently, his aunt need to stay a couple of day in the hospital, so his uncle had rent a room for him and his nephew to stay. The room was far away from the hospital, and this night his uncle had fall asleep as soon as his head had hit the pillow. The little boy can't have sleep, there is too much things in his head right now. He know that he is a burden for his uncle and aunt. He is too young to help them in the farm. The others children had made this clear to him.
That's why he had leave the room without making a sound this night. He don't want to be a burden. No one love him, his uncle had made it clear this afternoon. So, the best thing for all of them is for the little boy to go to the desert and die there. With this resolve in mind, the little boy leave the city without a glance. He don't know how much time he can survive in the desert, but he hope that he soon will be no burden for anyone.
In his house, the man known before as Obi-wan Kenobi feel something strange in the force. It's a little like if something important for the universe has begin to fade into oblivion. Searching with his jedi power, Ben can't found anything. But the feeling of an horrible danger can't leave his mind. Something in him tell him that the boy who is under his care is in great danger. Ben leave his house and go to the Lars farm. It is his duty to protect the boy, and he would not fail him like he had fail his father before.
The little boy was walking for a day now and he don't have much spare energies left in him. Vaguely, he wonder if his uncle would miss him. But he is to low to think like this for too long. The boy found a rock in the desert and decide to stop there. He know that he can't walk more. this place is quiet and the boy think that there is a good place to rest. Tired, the boy close his eyes and he hope with all his mind that he don't wake up again.
The sound of two concerned people woke him up. The boy look at the man and the woman in front of him. The man is in his late twenty and the woman seem a little older. Both of them smile at him when he opened his eyes. the little boy look into the eyes of the man, the blue eyes so much like his own eyes. The man come to him and take him in his arm. The the first time in his life the little boy feel like if he is accepted for what he was. He don't know why but his heart go to the two stranger in a way he don't have with his own family. The woman smile brightly at the picture of the man and the boy together, she let also, some tears fall.
The man and the woman lead the little boy to a ship who is landed a few meter away. There, the woman take the boy from the man's arm and hug him with all the love she feel. The little boy return the hug eagerly. The woman lead him to the kitchen and give him some food and water. the little boy feel the ship leaving the planet, but for some reason he can't found himself afraid of it. He is, just right now, where he had always meant to be. Exhausted, he fall asleep in the woman arm.
Ben had search for the boy for days, but it was useless. The boy's uncle and aunt can't have give any explanation about the boy's disappearance. Ben is more than worried about the boy's safety. How a four years old can survive in Tattoine desert ? After a day, Ben can't feel the boy's presence in the force. He finally gave up any hope after a month. There is no other explanation than the boy is dead now. With a sight, Ben come to the city to find a ship. Now that the boy is dead, his duty is to made sure that the other twin is safe and stay this way. From now, he is the guardian of Leia Skywalker.
The boy wake up not in his room. The sun is not as hot as the double suns of Tattoine, on the contrary. For once, the little boy take some pleasure by letting the sun fall upon his face. He look around and found a window open. Curiosity taking the better of him he leave the room. but the land he see made him speechless. never before he had see a land so green and so much water in a place. He spot the man he had see before and come to him. He wonder if he can come closer to him, because he is a little afraid of all of this water. The man turn around like if he had feel the boy coming. He smile to him and show him to come closer. The little boy complied eagerly. The man take the boy in his arm and began to talk.
" In this exact place I have marry the love of my life eight years ago. Our life was not easy then, but we had the better gift of the world when we have our son."
" Can I see him ?" Asked the boy.
" Of Course Luke you can."
Saying that the man show the reflect of himself and Luke in the lake. This act made Luke laugh. But soon he stop to laugh to heard what the man had to say.
" You are our son Luke. Someone had stole you from us after your birth, but finally we had found you again."
" Stole me ? Who ?"
" We were injured at this time." Said the voice of the woman Luke loved so much to heard." When we were finally healed three years have pass. We search for you for a year."
" But... Who are you ?"
" I'm your mother Paadme and you are currently in the arm of your father Anaakin Skywalker. You are our son Luke Skywalker and now no one will tear us appart ever."
" ever." Agree the little boy.
