Summary: Padmé finds out Anakin has died, and dies inside. But things just aren't what they seem. ;)
"Ani..no..Ani…Watch out!" Sabé watched Padmé trash in her bed from side to side mumbling parts of a cry to Anakin. Every night Padmé seemed to have nightmares of her best friend in... Pain? How would She know? Padmé wouldn't talk about it. Every time the subject came up she would change it. Sabé was so worried for her best friend. Beads of sweat worked themselves up onto her forehead as she began to thrash more.
"Ani, no!" Padmé cried out and with a jump she sat bolt-right up on the bed with a huge gulp of air, her eyes as wide as pennies.
"Padmé?? Are you alright?" Sabé asked with concern quickly filling her voice as she laid her hand upon Padmé's shoulder.
After a moment of silence Padmé gently nodded to her friend and gave a meek yet comforting smile. "Sabé, I am well. It was just a dream. Please get some sleep. I worry for you." Padmé said in a smooth comforting tone.
Sabé smiled at her and nodded, "As you wish." And with that Padmé was once again to her dreams… The nightmares that plagued her every night never seemed to cease. She dreaded sleep, for it only torn her more away from her best friend.. Her Ani.
The beautiful landscape that surrounded her seemed all too familiar to her. Day after day it was the same problems only a different date. Don't get her wrong, the senate was important to her, but so was her sanity. Padmé took a soft breath and sighed out gently.
"Miss, Master Obi-Wan is here to see you, he said it was urgent." Sabé knew Padmé only wished a bit of peace for herself at the moment, but something about the Jedi Master told her it truly was important.
Padmé nodded her approval to Sabé, "Thank you, Sabé. I suppose I have been out here for quiet a little bit." Following the handmaiden inside she spotted Master Obi-Wan through the large chamber doors. The Jedi Masters soft blue eyes were filled with a quiet distress that she couldn't put off. "Master Kenobi, it does my heart well to see you again." Padmé gave a soft smile to the Jedi as she took his hands in her own and hugged him.
Obi-Wan returned her soft smile with a hug. "Padmé, I have some news of Anakin... You may need to sit down for this, Milady." Obi-Wan began as his eyes softened from a distressed look to a concerned one. "Anakin was in a an accident on our last mission.. he saved a child from an explosion, but he didn't make it out.. Padmé, I am so sorry to bring you this news.." His eyes shone with truth as he explained what had happened to the senator.
Padmé nodded gently remembering the dreams she was having. "Somehow.. I knew." She said holding her voice steady as not to break down in front of her handmaidens and the Jedi. Obi knew how bad she was hurting inside, but wouldn't push her to let it out. "Thank you Master Kenobi, but I think I need to be alone for a while.." Padmé said gently. Looking up at the Jedi she smiled, "Please stay and watch after my handmaidens and duties." She stood tall and straight, "I am taking the next month off, I will be referred to as normal Padmé Naberrie. Master Kenobi is my fill-in while I am gone." Padmé looked down at her old friend, "If he will accept my request."
Obi-Wan nodded in acceptance and smiled to stay strong for Padmé, "I accept and will make sure things stay well in your absence."
Padmé nodded and stood up giving him one last hug. Starting today, She was going to find who she was, something deep down told her things didn't add-up. Padmé would find Anakin, or find what was left of him. The duty to her planet was dealt with, now she had to live up to the duty to her best friend… Or was he more?
