Chapter 2: Fear
A week later, Anakin was in the garden meditating when Obi-Wan came out. He walked over and stood next to the younger man. When Anakin felt his presence, he stopped and looked over at his friend. "Good to see you Obi-Wan," he told him. Obi-Wan nodded.
"It's good to see you Anakin," he answered.
Anakin smiled as they sat down on the benches that were there. "How's the leg treating you?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Has it's good days and bad days my friend," Anakin answered.
Obi-Wan nodded. "Padmé said that you have been having more visions," he observed. Anakin sighed.
"I keep having these visions of Padmé and the girls screaming for help and I can't get to them," he explained.
Obi-Wan listened to him. "I don't know, Obi-Wan, I have a really bad feeling that something is about to happen," he added.
"How long have you been having these visions?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Hard to say, a long time now," he replied.
"If you could make an estimate how long?" Obi-Wan asked.
Anakin rubbed the back of his neck. "They started after Kellan was born, but you know I was still trying to move on from what I did so I just thought it was just memories trying to haunt me," Anakin explained. Obi-Wan closed his eyes, rubbing his forehead.
"I have a bad feeling about this," he murmured.
"So do I," Anakin answered.
(Inside)
Luke came downstairs when he saw Mara Jade. "Wow, long time no see," he commented, hugging her. Mara Jade let out a laugh.
"No kidding, it's good to see you," she answered, hugging him back.
Padmé and Sabé were talking in the kitchen. "How are things with you and Anakin?" Sabé asked. Padmé sighed.
"It'd be easier if I knew how to comfort him whenever he has these visions," she replied.
"Being there for him helps," Sabé assured her.
Padmé nodded and looked out the window to see Anakin and Obi-Wan still talking. Leia came in with a huge smile on her face. "Hi, Leia," Padmé greeted.
"Hi, mom," she answered.
"How's everything going in the senate?" Padmé asked.
"Well things are really crazy right now since its time to vote in a new queen," Leia replied.
Kellan ran downstairs. "Is Uncle Obi-Wan here?" She asked excitedly.
"He's in the garden with your father," Padmé replied.
Kellan shrieked as she ran outside to see Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan and Anakin were still talking about his visions when the door opened. "UNCLE OBI-WAN!" She shouted. Obi-Wan stood up with a smile.
"Hi there, Kellan," he greeted.
The eleven-year-old hugged him tight with a smile. "You're getting really big," he commented.
"Uncle Obi-Wan, I can make things float now," she told him, pulling away.
"Oh yeah?" He asked.
"Yeah look," she replied.
She turned around and she held her hand out in front of her. Obi-Wan and Anakin watched as a flower unpicked itself and went to her hand. "That's great Kellan," Obi-Wan told her. Anakin smiled, he was also impressed.
"You have been practicing," he commented.
"Yeah, and Luke helped," she answered.
(Two Days Later)
Anakin was walking with Padmé as they went to see who was elected Queen of Naboo, but on their way there, she noticed that husband was really quiet. "What's wrong, Anakin?" She asked.
"I'm just having this really bad feeling, it wont' go away," he told her.
"Mom, do I really have to wear this?" Kellan whined.
Padmé and Anakin stopped, seeing their daughter fuss with the dress she was wearing. "You look beautiful," she answered, fixing the dress.
"I like my uniform better," she answered.
Padmé smiled and held her daughter's hand as they kept walking to the election.
Leia and Luke were already there when they showed up. "They're getting ready to start," Leia told her mother, smiling. Padmé smiled as she stood behind Leia, her hands on her daughter's shoulders. Obi-Wan, Sabé, and Mara weren't too far away. Luke was looking around, getting a bad feeling, so were Obi-Wan and Mara. Anakin pulled Padmé and Kellan a little closer.
(Space)
A soldier walked over to the cloaked figure. "My lord, we have arrived at Naboo," he informed.
"Perfect," the figure answered.
"Shall we send down the armies?" He asked.
"No, don't move an inch, wait for my signal," the figure ordered.
The soldier bowed and walked away. The figure stood up and walked over to the screen, grinning when the Skywalker came into view. "Your time for peace is over," he cackled.
