When Angels Deserve to Die
D/C: Okay, if I had invented Star Wars, why the feck would I be writing fan fic!!! I'd be selling these ideas!! ::ahem:: I have no relation to star wars, I am but a lowly fan…
A/N: Pronunciation: Seoidín = show-deen
Amháin = ah-woan
Imagine for a moment that Star Wars wasn't movie-that George Lucas had never been born. Instead, Imagine that the galaxy where star wars took place existed-and on Earth-we didn't know…

Seoidín Amháin awoke abruptly on Wednesday morning. She blinked dully at the light that was pouring through the curtains.
"Seoidín!!" her mother called. How she hated the sound of her name in the morning.
"Coming…" she croaked sleepily. How could it be morning already? Her bed was so warm. Why did she have to get up?! It just wasn't fair!
She slid out of bed and gathered up her uniform from the blue carpeted floor. When she was ready to go, she bushed her shoulder-length brown hair and plaited the piece of hair that fell behind her right ear.
As she walked out the front door, she realised that she had forgotten her science book. She signalled to her Mom that she would be another two minutes. She ran back to her room and grabbed her book. She checked her hair one last time in the mirror and went on.
Suddenly something hit her. She doubled back. Someone was in the mirror! She didn't believe it. It was a man. He was talking. Behind him, she could see a desert. There were houses and sand and a perfectly blue sky. The man walked away but what she saw didn't fade. He hadn't seen her.
Seoidín held her breath. Slowly she reached towards the mirror. Her fingers touched the cold glass. She breathed again. Suddenly, there was a rumbling noise. Frantically, Seoidín looked around. The mirror started bubbling. She tried to take her hand away but it was as if somebody had grabbed her arm. She pulled away violently but it wouldn't let her go. She screamed. The mirror was freezing. She lost her breath and choked on the cold air.
Suddenly everything went black.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, accompanied by his master Qui-Gon Jin, walked through a market on Tattooine. They had landed there for emergency supplies after their ship had been attacked. On board, they were protecting Queen Amidala of the Naboo. Qui-Gon was reluctant to take his young padawan, as the queen needed protection. He wanted to bring the droid; R2D2 as it had a list of the parts needed. But Obi-Wan had been very persistent.
"Master, thank you again for letting me come" Obi-Wan said gratefully. "I'm sure the queen will be safe"
"I told R2 to send word if anything happened", Qui-Gon seemed less than happy about the situation.
As they spoke, Padmé, the queen's handmaiden trailed along behind with the Gungen Jar-Jar Binks.
Without warning, there was a loud rumbling sound. The four turned around to see where it was coming from. They heard a scream and suddenly a girl appeared in mid air, ten feet above the ground and fell rapidly.
Padmé rushed forward. She examined the stranger. Whoever she was, she was unconscious.
"Master Jedi! Come quick! She's badly hurt!"
Qui-Gon ran to her side and Obi-Wan followed. Qui-Gon felt her forehead. "She's freezing" he said. Obi-Wan took her hand, she was like ice to him.
"She looks like a padawan, Master. However, I don't recognise her clothes."
"Yes, I see Obi-Wan. They have a strange symbol, a crest. I don't recognise that either, do you?"
"No…"
Padmé interrupted "We have to help her! No one here seems to know her" Everyone around had gone back to their own business, as if people fell out of the sky everyday.
"You're right of course…" He paused.
"What is it Master, what's wrong?" said Obi-Wan, just noticing that Jar-Jar had wandered of into the midst of the market stalls. He sighed.
"I sense a disturbance in the force" Qui-Gon looked up slowly.
"I sense nothing master"
Qui-Gon smiled. "You are young Obi-Wan. Concentrate harder."
Obi-Wan scoured the scene squinting. He stopped abruptly. "I sense it also Master, but I don't know what it is"
"Me neither… Obi-Wan I want you to take the girl to the ship. Then send R2D2 out here. We must find Jar-Jar. Do you wish to continue young handmaiden?" He asked turning to Padmé.
"Yes Master Jedi"
Obi-Wan carried the girl back to the ship.
**
Sometime later, Qui-Gon, Padmé, Jar-Jar and R2D2 returned to the ship. A small boy accompanied them.
"Obi-Wan, I want you to meet young Anakin Skywalker." Said Qui-Gon.
"Hello" said Obi-Wan warmly.
"Hi!!" Anakin said brightly.
1.1 "Come on Anakin, I'll show you around the ship." Said Padmé
"Really?! Cool!!!" and with that, they left.
Jar-Jar mumbled something about a "sitting down rest" and staggered off.
"Master, who is the boy? Why did you bring him to the ship? He could endanger Queen Amidala!"
He is a slave boy from this planet. I sense the force is strong with him, very strong. What's the report on the young Padawan?
"Not good. The tests show that if she doesn't improve within the next few hours-it could be….it could be fatal."
"Where is she now?"
"I laid her in one of the spare rooms on the ship."
"Very good Obi-Wan-Is there anything we can do?"
"I'm afraid not. Just to keep her warm"
Outside the door, Padmé listened intently. That girl was the same age as her. Where did she come from?
Padmé jumped. Anakin was back.
"Did you find Jar-Jar? She asked, crouching to his level.
"Yeah"
"What did he say?"
"Nothing, he was asleep!!"
"Oh! All that getting in trouble must have worn him out!"
"C'mon Padmé! Let's start the tour!"
Padmé showed him the different rooms and explained what they were for.
"What's in here?" he said running up to a closed door.
"Oh, we can't go in there. That's the Queen's room." She smiled at him, wondering how anyone could be so curious and full of energy.
"Oh…"he frowned "what's in there?" he ran to another closed door.
"I don't know, I think it's just empty…"
Anakin opened the door.
"Wait! Ani! Don't!" she ran forward.
"Why not?" he said. He stepped inside. He turned around. What he saw made him jump; Seoidín was lying unconscious on the bed.
"Ani? Are you okay? Do you know this girl?"
"No, it's just…" he spoke is a hushed voice "…is she asleep?
"No…she's unconscious, we found her along out way to your village. She fell from no where." She broke off. Anakin was walking up to Seoidín. "Ani…what are you doing?"
Anakin held her hand. "She's so cold-I've never felt anyone so cold before"
"Ani…"
"You said she fell from no where. Maybe she's an angel too." He stared at her face. "She's so pale"
"Ani, we'd better go, we promised your mother we'd bring you back by night fall."
"Okay" with one last look at Seoidín, he left. "Goodbye" he whispered.
