A/N: Thank you to all of my reviwers! They are all much appreciated! I tried to make this chapter long, I really did, but long chapters are not my specialty... Maybe if I get lots of REVIEWS then they will give me motivation to write long chapters for you guys. So make sure you put in those reviews! Thanks!

Chapter 1

"Where is she?" a hooded figure asked Bail Organa.

"Right this way." He gestured down a hallway and summoned Kenobi to follow him.

The walk down to the room was short and silent. Both of the men held a grave demeanor, for neither of them were happy about their given situation. When they entered into the room, Kenobi slowly went towards the crib and removed his hood as he peered inside at the tiny sleeping figure, which brought a smile to his face.

Turning back to Organa he said, "I am glad to see that Leia safe." Obi-Wan lowered his voice. "I am sorry that we can't say the same for Luke."

"How did this happen?" Organa questioned worriedly.

Obi-Wan frowned. "I am not sure, it happened so fast. I dropped off Luke safely with his Aunt and Uncle and then I delivered Leia to you here. After I had done that, I felt a disturbance in the force coming from Tattooine. Worried about Luke, I rushed back over there as fast as I could, but I was too late. I arrived back at Owen and Beru's home only find them dead and their house burned. Luke was no where to be seen." Obi-Wan hung his head in shame. "I feel as though this is my fault. Like maybe if I had put better protection over Luke, maybe if I had raised him myself. But… we cannot let that same fate come to Leia. I will protect her at all costs."

Organa placed a comforting hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. "There was nothing that you could have done, my old friend. You did the best you could."

Obi-Wan forced a smile and glanced over at the crib. "Since I have no more business on Tattooine, I shall stay here and become one of your guards."

"What if Vader senses your presence?"

"He won't. He is no longer attuned to me and I will change my name. Do not worry, all will be fine."

"You are not going to try and rescue Luke?" asked Organa; still not sure of what Obi-Wan was planning.

"I wish that I could, I really do, but I feel that there is no more hope for Luke now. Vader already has him in his evil grasp."

"I am so sorry," replied Organa, showing through his eyes that his words held a double meaning.

"I believe we all are," Obi-Wan responded gravely.

"Come!" Organa said, trying to lighten the mood. "We have to get you fitted for your new uniform!"

Obi-Wan let out a groan. "Oh no, not one of those things! They are unbearably hot; I'll be sweating like a pig!"

Bail Organa wrapped an arm around Obi-Wan as he laughed. "Then I'll make sure that your room is equipped with plenty of air conditioning."

Both men laughed as they walked down the corridor towards the fitting room.

BACK AT VADER'S SHIP- (during Obi and Bail's discussion)

A knock came at the door just as Vader was meditating.

"This had better be good, commander," Vader said as he opened the door using the force.

"I believe that we have found your other child, milord," the soldier said, trying not to sound too afraid.

"Good," Vader replied as he approached the soldier. "Where is she?"

"On Alderaan, milord. In the palace."

"Ah, Bail Organa, I should have known. Set the coordinates right away for Alderaan, I want to be taken there immediately."

"Yes, milord," the soldier responded as he left the room.

Turning back around, Vader saw the Emperor's hologram appear before him. Right away, he bowed onto his knee.

"Do they have your child's location?" the Emperor asked.

"Yes, milord. She is on Alderaan with Bail Organa. We are going there immediately."

"Very good. When you find her, I want you to kill her."

At first Vader did not respond.

Finally, he spoke. "If I may ask, my master, why do you want her dead? Wouldn't it be better to train two siths?"

"Your ignorance amuses me, Lord Vader. There can only be one master and one apprentice. I have no need for two heirs. I want no more questions, my apprentice. Find her and kill her."

"Yes, master."

The hologram disappeared and Vader was left alone.

BACK ON ALDERAAN

As Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi rounded the corner to the fitting rooms, a huge blast went off and both of them felt much heat coming towards them. Obi-Wan dropped to the ground and tried to pull Organa down with him, but the man would not budge.

Obi-Wan heard the blast pass over him, and after it passed, he was afraid to look above him. But before he got the chance to turn over, he heard a loud thud next to him. Slowly he turned his head to the right and quickly looked away for he couldn't bear the sight.

Bail Organa's flesh had nearly been completely burned off, and he was red all over, no longer the brown he had been previously. Obi-Wan slammed his fist against the metal floor.

"How could I let this happen?" he whispered to himself. "Why didn't I sense this?"

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of many footsteps and the sound he had been dreading the most: Vader's voice. But it wasn't so much the voice that bothered Obi-Wan, but really it was the breathing that sent shivers up and down his spine. That low, raspy sound that came though his mask.

Quickly jumping to his feet, Obi-Wan took off towards Leia's room, hoping that he would get there in time. While he was running down the hallway, he could hear the child's crying. He rounded a corner as fast as he could and then he jolted into the bedroom. Luckily the room was empty so Obi-Wan would not have any witnesses to see him taking the child. He wrapped the baby into the blanket and then took her into his strong arms.

Hearing the soldiers nearing the room, Obi-Wan knew that he could not go running through the door, for he would surely get caught, so he just took off through the nearest exit: the window. Just as Obi-Wan was flying down the side of the building with the screaming Leia in his arms, Lord Vader entered into the bedroom.

Vader looked around the room slowly and spotted the crib. With two quick steps, he was standing beside the crib and peering inside, only to find it empty. He glanced back in front of him and noticed the broken glass. He strode over to it and looked down, expecting to see someone, but nobody was there.

Turning back to the soldiers, Vader remarked, "We are too late. I am going back to my ship. Round up the rest of the troops and then immediately bring the new general to me. I want to discuss his lack of product."

Lord Vader stormed from the room thinking, 'They are lucky that I have at least one of my children, and it is the boy.'

Inside his head, he also heard another voice saying, 'Perhaps it is good that you didn't find her, then you don't have to kill her.'

Angrily Vader shook his head to clear the voice out of his head. If his master found out that he still heard "that" voice sometimes, he would be as good as gone.
