Love and Loss
by: spirithp
As the Republic starts to crumble, General Grievious sweeps into the capital, breaking the Republic even more. As Obi-Wan and Padme are drawn together, how will Anakin react? And most important, what will he do to win her back?
WOHHH lol. First serious story here. Hope it turns out to be a good'n! Enjoy!
Prologe
As dawn's first light broke on Coruscant's tall city-scape, everyone woke up to disaster. It was as the Senate and all citizens of the Republic had feared. General Grievous was attacking the heart of the Republic, a place thought to be untouchable.
Padme Amidala was no different than the rest of Coruscant. She'd woken up before dawn for an early meeting. But when she looked to the sky to see lasercannon fire and explosions, still bright in the early dawn sky, she decided that the meeting should wait. She'd sat up, watching the HoloNet in disbelief for the latest news updates. Grievous was here, but not with near enough troops to take the capital. The whole strike was still puzzling her and the rest of the universe when Dorme awoke about 15 minutes after Amidala. Her friend was making them a light breakfast when the reporter announced that a ship with confederate markings had dropped into the atmosphere, and was speeding around Coruscant.
Dorme walked in, carrying a tray with some toast and two eggs for the both of them.
"Something's happening."
"I heard from the kitchen,"Dorme said, sitting down on the bed next to her, picking up some toast, "If they don't have enough droids to take Coruscant then they must be here for something else."
"Or someone."
Dorme didn't get the chance to reply. Padme's transparasteel window shattered into a million tiny pieces, the morning light glinting off the shards as they flew inward, a gas grenade flying into the room.
Both women fell unconscious to the floor.
