HIDDEN DANGER

Silence. These days silence was the only place Anakin felt at peace. When he was alone he could think of her. Her sweet face her beautiful hair her intoxicating smell. Only when alone could he fully admit these feelings and desires to himself for his wife Padme Amidala Skywalker. Nobody in the senate knew of his relationship outside of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. To the rest of the republic she was still Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo. Anakin wanted to tell everybody about them but Padme and Obi-Wan convinced him not to, neither of them wanted to see Anakin expelled from The Jedi Order.

Anakin closed his eyes and stretched out with the force, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He pushed his mind past the billions of minds on Coruscant and further. Within mere moments he was on Naboo, it was dark it had been several hours since the sun set on the luscious green landscape of Theed. He inhaled deeply as his traversed the night sky. Finally he had arrived. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face on Coruscant.

He moved forward off the balcony on which he landed on Naboo, Anakin effortlessly moved through the blaster proof windows that looked out over the river in the centre of Theed. There she was. Asleep in bed looking more beautiful than the first moment he met her. Anakin sat on the bed next to Padme, she rolled over would have been face to face with him if he were there. Anakin stretched out with all the strength the force gave him and gently caressed Padme's soft cheek.

Padme lay in bed half asleep she had been laying in bed for an hour. Yet she couldn't sleep. Her heart was laden with pain. She missed Anakin; it had been three months and twenty-one days since they last saw each other at a galactic conference on Alderaan. She exhaled and decided she had to go to sleep; she had a meeting with Governor Sio-Bibble in the morning and could go half asleep. Padme rolled over she could feel something sitting on the bed next to him, not a thing almost like a ghost. She felt a familiar feeling of a hand softly stroking her cheek and a brilliant smile crept across her face. She opened her eyes and could see nothing. She closed her eyes again before sweetly whispering 'I love you Anakin'

Anakin fell to one knee exhausted. He wiped away the clammy sweat that clung to his face and hair. He had never tried anything like that before, not over such a huge distance. He had never seen any Jedi do it. He managed to pull himself to his feet; his knees shook violently under his weight. The door to his bed chamber opened and two druids walked in the first was human looking and was a dusty old metal colour his name was C-3PO, Anakin had spent months gathering parts and building the protocol droid on Tatooine when he was ten years old. The other was an astromech droid called R2-D2; he had met Artoo when Padme, Jar-Jar Binks and Master Qui-Gon Jin stumbled into Watto's shop. Padme.

'Is everything alright Master Anakin' Threepio asked in a posh accent.

Anakin winced as he moved across the room to his chair. ' Everything's fine Threepio' he replied his voice gravely and strained.

Artoo beeped impatiently behind Threepio. 'I was just about to Artoo' he snapped back. Anakin had gotten used to the pairs constant banter over the past few months. 'Master Anakin, Master Kenobi as requested your presence in his chambers'

Anakin looked confused and slightly irritated 'Did he say why?'

'No sir, he simply said it was a matter or some urgency ' Threepio's head twitched from left to right 'If you ask me he's a bit peculiar, if you don't mind me saying so'

Anakin bit his lower lip to suppress his laughter. 'Well I'm sure he doesn't mean to come off that way'

Artoo tweeted behind Threepio again. 'I am not being judgmental Artoo I'm simply stating an observation'

Artoo beeped a negative monotone noise. 'There's no need to be vulgar'

Anakin interrupted them before they carried on for an hour.' Can you tell Obi-Wan that I'll be there in a moment'

Threepio quickly looked back at Anakin 'Certainly Master Anakin' He turned to the door and shouted back intolerantly 'Come along Artoo'

Anakin moved over to his bedroom and pulled out a clean set of robes. They were the same style as Obi-Wan's robes but the colour was more like Mater Qui-Gon's robes. He quickly got dressed and clipped his light sabre to the belt that was tightly fastened around his waste before limping off to Obi-Wan's quarters.
