It's been forever since I updated this story. The funny thing is, I've had this chapter written for over a month! I personally find it a pretty lame chapter, but I do need it to advance the plot, in a way. I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter Four
Ahsoka
My stomach drops. Senator Amidala is dead. She was a dear friend of mine. Now she is gone. I wonder how she has fallen, but now is not the time.
Bail Organa leads Elsa and I to a small shuttle and he gives us large robes. "I suppose you'll want to attend the funeral."
I nod. "She was a close friend of mine."
The rest of the trip is silent. I try to hold back my tears, but they won't stop falling. Greif is flowing over my body, weighing me down. My teacher, my friends, my brothers. They are all dead. Killed in this horror known as war, fighting for the demon known as honor.
When we reach Naboo, I put the robe on and so does Elsa. We follow Bail Organa out of the ship and walk into the crowd. I then catch a glimpse of her. The coffin is uncovered. Her brown hair is flowing all around her, laden with flowers. She is in a beautiful blue gown, no doubt a ceremonial one. In her hands is a necklace.
Elsa turns to me. "Who was Senator Amidala, Master?"
"She was the Queen of Naboo during the invasion of the Trade Federation. She then became senator and we became good friends. She was there for me whenever I needed her." I can't hold my tears anymore. They fall like a waterfall down my face and robes.
-After the funeral, Bail Organa takes us back to the ship. He leaves for a few hours and then returns to the ship holding a baby.
I go up to him and look at the child. "Who is she?"
He breathes in. "Padme Amidala's daughter. Her name is Leia."
I gasp. "Padme had a child?"
He nods. "Twins. Luke and Leia. She named them just before she died."
"Where is Luke?"
"We are hiding them from the Empire, they're both Force-sensitive. Luke went to Tatooine with family. Kenobi will watch over him. Breha and I are taking Leia."
"Who is the father?"
"Anakin Skywalker."
I gasp. Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala had children together? I had a hunch that something was going on between them, but never that far. Bail Organa then hands the child to me. "I'll fly us back to Alderaan."
I nod and sit down with the baby girl. Elsa looks over in curiosity. "What is her name?"
"Leia." I am guessing that Elsa didn't hear the conversation between Bail and I, but most likely for the best. She is only thirteen, after all. I look dawn at Leia and smile at her, but she starts to cry.
Elsa then leans over and puts her hands in a clamp above Leia. When she opens the hands, a small snowflake is left behind. Leia suddenly stops crying and smiles. Her tiny arm reaches out for the snowflake and she giggles.
I look at Elsa. "That was good thinking."
She blushes. "Thanks, Master. I used to do that for my little sister, Anna, when she cried. It would always make her smile."
Yes, I decided I would introduce Leia as a character, since I will definitely use her in the future. Speaking of the future, I've decided to add in a few more characters from the world of Disney, including Anna (and one other) in the next chapter. Is there anyone you'd be interested in seeing come into this story? All suggestions are appreciated and will probably be used.
