Hey guys! Thought I'd try my hand at a Stars Wars fic.. Major AU. Padmé lives, Vader is suit less...
Summary: After Bail and Obi-Wan safely take away Luke and Leia, Palpatine finds, captures, and imprisons Padmé. Meanwhile, he has a plan to take Vader even deeper into the Dark Side... Warning: Torture.
After Bail and Obi-Wan spirited her children off to a better future, for the first time in her life, Padmé Naberrie Amidala Skywalker slumped to the bed from sheer exhaustion. It had been a very trying day between finding out her husband was evil, being choked by said husband, and giving birth to twins. Yes, she had a right to be exhausted after her ordeals. Yet a nagging in the back of her mind warned her that her ordeals were far from over. With that thought, she barely registered an alarm in the hospital going off before she was stuck by a needle and passed out.
Vader's life officially sucked. First he had tried to save his wife from certain death in childbirth. Then he had found it, but of course he went and screwed it up. Now that he was thinking more rationally, he realized that Obi-Wan had most likely snuck aboard her ship. Just the thought of that traitorous bastard was enough to make his blood boil. And to make things worse, said bastard had escaped without a scratch. But no matter what Vader did, he could not escape his own crushing guilt. Even if he had poisoned his angel's mind... It was not the old Jedi who reached out and crushed her throat. He, who swore that he would never let anyone hurt her, was the one that had murdered her. All to serve that old demon from hell... Who was comming him at that very moment. Slamming up his shields, he answered.
"Yes, my master?"
"Greetings, my young apprentice. I trust you are comfortable in your new quarters?"
"Yes, my master."
"Excellent. Now meet me in the throne room of my palace in exactly three hours. I have a new task for you."
"Yes, my master."
And then the connection fizzled out.
Vader sighed and sank into the nearest chair. Was he comfortable? No, he could never again be comfortable after what he did to his angel. A part of him wanted to quit the Dark Side and find something else to cling to. But he wouldn't. Because a monster like him deserved this new hell.
Hey guys! That was the first part of of Crying Angel. Not much of an action chapter, but I had to get the story flowing... Next chapter, we'll see how Padmé's doing and we'll see a little bit about what this mysterious task is... BTW, can anyone guess what it is? First correct guesser gets a shout out when the details of the task are posted (probably in 3rd chapter). Happy guessing, and please review! Thanks!
