" I can't believe they'd take her all the way out here," said Anakin, as
they hurried across the Geonosis country.
" Wouldn't put it passed them," muttered Obi-Wan," Anakin, check that camp over there. Any trouble, call. I'll search farther south." They separated and Anakin ran to the deserted camp.
" Hello?" Opening each tent, he realized it was hastily left. Frustrated, he reached out with the Force, feeling around for Padmè life signs. Choosing the tent, he saw a glint of metal and flesh.
" Padmè!" He edged towards her and stopped abruptly. She was chained to the wall by her wrists, naked and unconscious. He'd never seen her without clothes, and this new view was both erotically pleasing and horrid. Her delicate skin was covered in dark bruises, and her head dangled uselessly onto her firm chest.
" Oh Padmè," he pulled off his lightsaber and cut through the shackles, her limp body falling into his arms. Pulling off his Jedi cloak, he covered her nude body and yelled to his Master.
~(-o-)~
Opening her chocolate eyes, Padmè become conscious that she wasn't in her large bedroom, but in a small compartment. Groaning as a bump on her head began to throb, she looked around. She was on a small ship, an older model. Dooku? No. His ship would be much more elaborate. Instinct told her to reach for her blaster, but only felt skin. She wasn't wearing clothes! She grabbed a cover and smelled a familiar scent. It was Anakin's cloak! She was aboard with Anakin and Master Obi-Wan! She smiled at the knowledge of safety. Wrapping herself in his warm shroud, she got up and went to find the two Jedis.
Roaming the small plane was a bit unnerving. Were they even aboard or was the vessel on autopilot? Then she heard a noise. the zapping sound of a lightsaber. Entering the room, she saw a certain Padawan practicing with his saber. Without his shirt, she could see his solid chest and focused eyes
" Anakin."
~(-o-)~
" Padmè," he quickly turned off his weapon and walked towards her. She looked beautiful, with her dark brown hair down instead of in an intricate design. Another turn on was that she was wearing his Jedi cloak, with just enough skin peeking out in the right places. But he knew he must keep his respected distance.
" I'm glad that you are awake." He turned around and reached for his shirt. A silky hand touched at the same time as his.
" Ani." began Padmè, her hand still on his, " What happened? I remember leading a group of refugees out of their camp on Geonosis when Tuskin raiders came. That's all I recall."
" Master Obi-Wan and I were told that you might have been hurt on the planet. We went searching and I found you." he didn't add in the part about her being nude.
" And I was naked," she finished, sliding her soft fingertips up and down his hand. He gulped and stammered, " Yes."
Curiously, she asked," And how did you feel when you saw me?"
" I loved seeing you, but, the bruises. I couldn't believe someone would do that to your body," he answered truthfully.
" ANAKIN!"
The two hurried from the training deck to the cockpit.
" Senator! I'm glad you're awake!
" What is happening Master?"
" We're in a meteor shower. I'm going to try and land on that planet."
A loud rumble hit the rear as sparks flew from behind the cockpit door.
" We've been hit! We're going to have to go down now!" struggled Obi-Wan with the controls.
" Cover your head Padmè!" yelled Anakin over the deafening roar of space outside. Unexpectedly, a stack of filled boxes fell out of the cabinets, crushing Padmè and Anakin.
" Anakin!" Obi-Wan brought the craft to a sudden halt, making the ship crash into the jungle-like terrain. Pushing away the crates, he discovered that his Padawan had taken the serious damage, while protecting Padmè.
" Senator Amidala," he shook the woman's shoulder gently, and was rewarded with light stirring.
" Master Obi-Wan. Anakin!" she quickly inspected the bruises and the gash on his forehead.
" Master Obi-Wan, will he be okay?" she asked worriedly.
" Come, we must find other shelter," he answered, avoiding the question. He hoisted up Anakin with his arms and placed him on a sheet.
" We're going to have to drag him out."
" Look! There's a cave over there!"
After situating themselves with a fire and necessary provisions, Obi-Wan finally spoke.
" Now that my Padawan is injured and our craft damaged, we have no way of leaving. I have healed his cut, but him being comatose. I don't know. We don't even know where we are. Senator Amidala, stay with Anakin. I will try and find help."
Grabbing a canteen of water and a supply of food along with his cloak, he looked back at Padmè.
" A blaster is with Anakin's saber. Stay safe." And then he turned and walked into the shrubbery.
Looking back at the unconscious Anakin, Padmè sighed. She remembered the young 9-year-old Padawan whom she smiled at during the ceremony. Now he was 19 and fully-grown, his Jedi uniform covering his muscled body. Running her hand down his chest she murmured
" Why must you be so irresistible yet be forbidden to me?" Knowing she could do nothing for Anakin, she got up and scanned her surroundings. Off to the right and down the slope, was a small lagoon. Wanting to get away from the stuffy cave, she pulled a cover over the young Jedi and kissed his cheek
" Stay warm Ani," she whispered and pulled up the robe's hood. As a precaution, she took the blaster with her.
Feeling the cool night breeze against her bare skin, she wondered how it would feel if it were Ani's breathe instead. Might as well feel the water, she thought, and besides. a bath would be nice.
Pulling off Anakin's cloak, she tested the water of any creatures before slipping into the cool lagoon.
Anakin blurrily opened one eye. His head spun like a whirlwind. Was Padmè alright? Observing the dimly lit cave, it seemed she and Master Obi-Wan were okay. A splash came from the distance along with a scream. Anakin leapt to his feet and reaching his lightsaber with the Force, he ran down the hill without looking around anymore.
Passing a cluster of trees, he noticed the watery noises growing louder. Peering around the shrubbery, he saw Padmè burst out from beneath the shimmering waters, her chest heaving for air. Surprise made Anakin jump backwards, crunching up dried fallen leaves. spinning around, she gasped
" Who's there?"
Pulling herself to shore, she seized her blaster and looked about. She saw no one around. She walked over to Ani's cloak to pull it on. Anakin realized in horror that she was headed in his direction towards the cloak that lay near his feet. Crouching away, he tried to stay hidden in the foliage.
" Anakin! I better check on him." She came closer, until Anakin couldn't wait any longer.
" No need Padmè."
" Wouldn't put it passed them," muttered Obi-Wan," Anakin, check that camp over there. Any trouble, call. I'll search farther south." They separated and Anakin ran to the deserted camp.
