Prologue
Do I look like I own Star Wars?
No!
Geonosis-
Execution Arena
Anakin's soft, moist lips pressed gently against Padmé's, who this time, welcomed his kiss. Now they could be sure of their love.
With Padmé's confession, Anakin had been assured once more of her affection. The cart was slowly wheeled out into the blazing arena, as the crowd of Geonosians cheered anxiously. The light shined down upon the two of them, as their lips parted once more.
As it cleared the tunnel, Padmé blinked as her eyes readjusted to the light. She saw that they were inside a giant arena surrounded by hundreds of thousands of natives. Most of them appeared to be the same species as her guards, but she could see members of race or two that was familiar to her.
She peered around the arena as she was wheeled to a stone pillar, Obi-Wan. She skillfully pulled out a pin, which she had been holding in her hand for the majority of the day. Captain Typho had taught Padmé on survival skills; picking locks had been one of them.
Her hands were brutally tied behind her head, as she watched Anakin being treated the same as her. He tried to struggle, and Anakin was slammed into the pillar. She tinkered with the lock once more, and she heard the rustling of gears inside the lock.
-Then a soft click.
Anakin had heard the noise, and he turned to face Padmé. "Be careful, my angel."
She smiled dully at him, for she might end up having to see him perish. Though the Senator would not be defeated without a fight, and she ran over to Anakin after her hands were freed and released Anakin from the chains.
He smiled, as her face was centimeters from his own, and her hands were wrapped around his. "I love you." He leaned in, as the urge to kiss her once more overwhelmed him, and pressed his lips against Padmé's.
She dreaded the thought of parting, but it was necessary, as Anakin caught sight of the Reek that was clearly angered and charging at them both. The beasts three horns were pointed straight at Anakin's chest cavity, which, if hit, would surely be fatal.
"Padmé!" Anakin shoved her out of the way, and she landed on the ground next to the pillar that she had first been chained to.
The beast was quickly nearing Anakin, and he turned to face her. Anakin made a small smile at her and mouthed the words "I love you."
Padmé watched helplessly as Anakin tried his best to redirect the path of the Reek, kicking helplessly at its skull. The attempt was a meager success, and the animal stumbled of course by mere inches.
The fumble was enough to see that Anakin was not hit in the heart, but his skull made hard contact with the Reek's right horn. The blow sent Anakin stumbling to the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Padmé let out a cry, which reverberated throughout the stadium, as Obi-Wan had finally killed of his own attacker and had made ends-meat of Padme's monster.
The Jedi master turned to the Reek and impaled its throat with his light saber.
Just as Obi-Wan had done this, Yoda's transport ship landed in the center of the arena, and the old Jedi master helped Padmé onto the ship as Obi-Wan carried his Padawan's unconscious body onto the ship.
