Corellia:
Vader noticed two Jedi Knights, one Rodian male and one human man charging him with their lightsabers raised.
This is certainly where the money is, Vader thought with a smile.
Vader eagerly stepped forward, as he got closer to the Jedi, he dropped down four feet and forced his blade into the Rodian's gut before pulling it out and slicing the abdomen of the human Jedi.
Before the man could regain his footing, Vader finished him with one quick strike to his gut. He then called the fallen lightsabers to his hands as he took a look at his surroundings.
It was then that something caught his eye.
He noticed a jewelry shop.
He eagerly walked towards the shop, deciding that it was the perfect opportunity for him to purchase a few things for Padme.
As the Sith Lord entered the shop, the jeweler, a man of around sixty nervously looked up from his work as he spoke, "What can I do for you?"
Vader at the same time, noticed a beautiful necklace made with gold and beautiful diamonds
"How much is that necklace?" Vader asked.
"Ten thousand credits, it's my display and it's one of a kind."
"I'll buy it, along with the diamond earrings next do it," Vader replied.
And Vader then started his walk through the shop, and by the time that he was done, he had spent fifty thousand credits on Padme.
Vader of course wasn't one bit concerned with the amount of money that he had just put out. He had money to burn, He was fairly rich and at the age of twenty four, he hardly knew what he could buy for himself with the money that he had.
At the same time, a shop with expensive dresses in the window.
He immediately walked into the shop.
The moment that he entered, he noticed expensive gowns and beautiful summer dresses that were displayed on several mannequins.
At the same time, he examined the size on one of the mannequins. There was no doubt in his mind that it was the same size that Padme wore.
"Can I help you my Lord?" A nervous woman asked as she approached the Sith Lord.
"Yes, go ahead and get me one of each of the dresses in the size that you see on this mannequin."
"O-Of course," The woman replied with a look of shock in her eye.
A few minutes later, the woman returned and spoke, "I have everything that you requested boxed up my Lord."
Vader nodded as the woman spoke, "Does she need matching shoes, any undergarments and shawls or any bodysuits?" the woman asked.
Vader was more than grateful that he had his hood covering his face for he knew that it was red when he realized how much he had forgotten. Padme was without anything, all that she had was the bikini and although she looked good in the bikini, Vader knew that she deserved a full sized wardrobe.
"Go ahead and show me what you have that will look good on a beautiful petite girl of around sixteen years of age that has dark hair and dark brown eyes. Make sure that you throw in whatever toiletries and makeups that you think of as appropriate. In fact, make certain that you give her the best of the best." Vader replied
"Of course," the woman replied.
After just ten minutes, Vader had an additional dozen dresses and gowns picked out for Padme.
A few minutes later, the woman returned as she spoke, "Everything is ready."
Vader at that moment noticed the vanity desk that was set up at the far side of the room as he pointed his finger towards it.
"How much is that?"
"Three hundred your excellency, but I haven't given you your bill yet."
"My bill means nothing, I will take it, throw it in with everything else."
The woman immediately left and within moments, several droids appeared as Vader pointed towards his waiting speeder.
Vader then watched as the woman approached him with a datapad.
"So your total comes to eleven thousand all together."
Vader nodded as he pulled out a valid credit chip that contained fifty thousand credits.
"Don't tell a soul that you did business with me and above all else don't say a word about my presence here. Take the eleven thousand and keep the rest as a tip for your outstanding service.
The woman clutched the credit chip in shock as her hands started to shake.
Vader shook his head, it was obvious that she had just made more money than she had ever made in her entire life.
Naboo:
Ruwee Naberrie watched as an image of Eli appeared directly before him, "Eli? What have you found out?"
Eli breathed in deeply as he spoke to the horrified Father, "There is no easy way to tell you this Ruwee."
Eli paused before he continued, "Your daughter was kidnapped from the transport by a gang of prominent slavers."
"N-No," Ruwee called out in horror.
"I traced her to Eriadu."
"Eriadu?"
"She was purchased by Wilhuff Tarkin," Eli stated.
Ruwee felt his entire body shaking in horror as he spoke, "N-No, please, don't let that pig have his greasy hands on her for another minute, I don't care what he's done to her, I want her back!" Ruwee screamed.
"Tarkin didn't have her," Eli replied.
"What?" Ruwee asked.
"He never even touched her," Eli stated.
"Then where is she?" Ruwee asked.
"He gave her as a gift to Darth Vader," Eli grimly answered.
Ruwee felt his body continuously shaking as a Father's worst nightmare became reality.
His baby girl, his daughter, his Padme was in the hands of Darth Vader, the Galaxy's most feared man.
Tears flowed out of his eyes as Eli spoke, "I promise you that I will do everything in my power to save her."
"And what if he has already killed her?" Ruwee asked.
"Than I will bring him back to Naboo for you, and you will do as you will with him," Eli replied.
Ruwee stared at Eli as he spoke, "No Jedi has survived a fight with that monster."
"I can and I will defeat him because I have an advantage that no one else has, and I also have the element of surprise," Eli replied.
Ruwee nodded as Eli spoke, "I will report back to you after I've either rescued her or apprehended him."
"Thank you Eli," Ruwee replied as the transmission ended.
Ruwee then found himself breaking down in tears as he heard the door of his apartment opening.
Within seconds, he felt two warm arms surrounding him, "Daddy what's wrong?"
He stared at Sola as he spoke, "Eli has some horrifying news about your Sister."
"What's happened?" Darred asked as he walked into the room.
Ruwee shivered as he started to lead his daughter and his Son in law through the horrifying revelation that Eli had shared with him.
A few minutes later, Ruwee noticed a look of rage in Sola's eye as Darred spoke, "I'm glad that Ryoo is on the Holonet."
"She's two, she doesn't need to know about this," Ruwee replied as he wiped a tear from his eye. Darred at the same time put a sympathetic hand on Ruwee's shoulder as he spoke, "I-I'm here for you Ruwee, you know that don't you?"
Ruwee felt more tears in his eyes as Sola stood up, "Stay here with Dad and with Ryoo, I'm going somewhere."
Darred frowned, "Not where I'm thinking?"
"Yes," Sola replied.
Darred shook his head as he looked at Ruwee, "How about you go play with Ryoo, Sola and I both have to do this together."
"You're going to visit Jobal aren't you?"
"Of course I am, we aren't telling her who has her but she needs to know that there will be no ties between us," Sola replied.
Ruwee wordlessly wiped his tears away as he stood up and walked towards the living room.
He looked down at his tiny two year old granddaughter as she looked up at him and spoke, "Hi Papa!"
Ruwee smiled, "Ryoo, how about we go to the park?"
"Ok," Ryoo replied with a smile.
Jobal Thule watched as her Son in law entered the house alongside her daughter.
She noticed a look of anger in Sola's eye as her daughter stepped forward and slapped her twice.
"That first slap was for Padme, the second one was for the hell that my Dad is living in because of you."
"What do you mean?" Jobal asked.
"Her transport was boarded by slavers, she was carted off and now she's in the hands of some wicked man who will do nothing but abuse her," Darred yelled.
"That serves her right, her defiance and her running away has costed me a lot of money. Ian Lego had made a deal that would have nearly doubled my wealth. I hope that this man teaches her her place, whoever he is," Jobal stated with a smile.
Darred at that moment, in rage, knocked down an expensive vase that shattered on the floor as Jobal spoke, "That was an antique!"
"I don't give a dam about your Money or your antiques, your daughter is in the hands of this vile man and all that you can do is say that she deserves to be beaten down, raped and Force knows what else? You sadistic, selfish Bitch!" Darred screamed.
"Darred Janren, how dare you? How can you speak this way to your Mother in law?" Jobal asked.
"You're not my Mother in Law anymore as far as I'm concerned, and a bitch like you should never be allowed to be a mother."
Sola was in shock, never had she ever heard Darred use such a word in reference to a woman. In fact, one of the reasons that her Father had picked Darred as her husband was because of how he treated women.
Sola dismissed her thoughts as she joined the argument, "My Sister is better off without you just as my daughters are. You're never again welcome in our house or allowed to see our daughters!" Sola screamed as she turned and intentionally knocked down an expensive portrait that hung on the wall just a few feet away from her.
"And Darred is right, a pig like you should never have been allowed to have children, you're nothing but an evil bitch. No Mother would say what you just said about Padme, no true Mother," Sola screamed.
"Sola how dare..."
"You should have just given us both to Daddy and had your selfish life back when Padme was still a toddler. She still carries the scars of your abuse. She's still hurt inside and out because of you. I will never beat down either of my girls like you did. You're disgusting!" Sola screamed as she pushed her foot through the portrait.
Sola then stormed out of the house, alongside Darred who coldly stared back at Jobal
Ruwee watched as Ryoo fell to sleep on his couch.
At that moment, he noticed Sola entering the room with Darred.
Darred looked at Ruwee as he spoke, "I-I can't tell you how sorry I am. I as a Father am more than horrified at the thought of what that animal is doing to Padme."
"While we're helpless to save her," Ruwee added.
"What if Vader kills her?" Sola asked.
"Eli said that he will bring him to me for execution."
"And why is Eli so convinced that he can win a fight with Vader? He has already killed dozens of Jedi Knights," Sola replied
"He just thinks that he can."
"If Vader is brought to you without Padme what will you do with him?" Darred asked.
"Turn him over to the Alliance for trial. I'm a better man than him, and taking revenge would make me no different than him. But allowing him to have a fair trial would make me a much better man," Ruwee stated.
"You have a lot more control than I do, if someone ever touched my little Ryoo, not even the rivers of lava on Mustafar would stop me from taking his life."
"I've had a longer life than you Darred, and I've seen what revenge truly does, I pray that you will think like me by the time that you get to my age," Ruwee replied as he looked towards the image of Padme that hung on the wall above Ryoo.
"I-I kind of let you down back there. Back before I married Sola, y-you told me that you chose me because of the fact that I treated women like I did. Y-You don't even want to know what I called Jobal. I-I would have made my Mother cry."
Ruwee looked at the younger man as he spoke, "Y-You were so angry over Padme that you lost control which is understandable. Force, Y-you're old enough to be her dad. Of course you would be angry."
Darred nodded as he felt Sola wrapping her arms around him, "I always hoped that Padme would end up with someone like you, not in the hands of the devil, and it breaks my heart to think of how Vader is treating her."
"I've heard that he's spent time with several of the female Senators and countless Senator's aides. He doesn't love, the man is incapable of it," Darred replied in disgust.
Exactor:
Vader walked into his chambers as he noticed Padme walking out of the kitchen.
He smiled at her as he removed his cloak, "Did you ever manage to order anything for yourself?"
Padme shook her head, "I didn't know the password to your computer."
Vader frowned, "Oh, I-I forgot to give that to you. Never mind though, I picked a few things up for you today."
"A few things?"
Vader in response used the Force to open the door as several work droids entered the room with stacks of boxes, "Take everything into my room," Vader stated as he pointed towards his bedroom.
Vader then sat down as he revealed a small box, he opened the box to reveal the beautiful necklace that he had purchased for Padme on the planet.
At the same time, he noticed the look of shock in her eyes as he moved forward and placed the necklace on her neck.
Padme stared at him in shock, "It's beautiful."
Vader smiled at Padme as he gave her an affectionate kiss, "I knew that it was for you."
"How much did this cost?"
"Don't worry about the money," Vader replied.
"You have a point, it's not like I'm going to be handling it again."
Vader at the same time, removed the cheap earrings that Padme had been given back in the slave market and crushed them with his hand.
He then reached for a smaller box and opened it to reveal two beautiful golden earrings with two fairly large diamonds.
Padme found herself more than shocked as Vader slipped the earrings onto her.
She looked at Vader in shock as he gave her an affectionate kiss on the lips, "You look beautiful. You should see yourself right now."
Padme did her best to smile at Vader as he pulled her onto his lap. Within seconds, she felt his hands stroking her bare thighs.
He then affectionately kissed her cheek as he spoke, "You're going to have everything that you want Padme."
"What about my Dad and my Sister? Or even my sweet little niece? I-I may have everything, but I want to be able to see them. Can't you allow me to see my family?"
"Your place is here with me," Vader replied as he gave Padme another kiss.
Vader then turned on the holonet, Padme noticed a podrace being broadcasted as he wrapped his arms around her tiny body.
It was an hour before Vader finally turned off the holonet, "There's nothing else on that appeals to me. That was a good race though."
"You really do enjoy watching the podraces don't you?"
"I used to love to race."
"You raced?"
"I'm the only Human Podracer to ever exist. It's part of what caught the eye of Master Qui-Gon when he was on Tattooine with my future Master. He witnessed my skill in the race and he knew that I was meant to be a Jedi after watching me win."
"You won?" Padme asked.
"I did, I left the prize money for my Mother and joined the Order right after that."
"Oh," Padme replied.
Vader then kissed Padme as his hands started to roam her, "It's time to retire for the night."
"It's not like I have a say," Padme muttered as Vader scooped her up and carried her out of the living room.
Padme awoke the next morning to Vader's arms still tightly holding her.
She then looked down at herself as she placed a hand on the diamond necklace that sat on her neck, there was no doubt in her mind that the man had spent thousands on her. What for? Did he think that by pampering her and indulging her that he would somehow erase the fact that she was his slave? Did he think that she would eventually forget about freedom and no longer long for it? Did he think that he was going to be able to make her into a perfectly happy and submissive concubine who would eat for his hand without questioning him?
If that was what he thought he had another thing coming, because she would never forget about the freedom that she once had. She would never forget about the time that she had served her people as Queen. She would never forget her beloved Father and Sister and her friends.
She placed a hand on her collar as she felt her hope fading away, how could she escape when the Monster kept her restrained like an animal? How could she escape when he was capable of paralyzing her without even laying a finger on her? How could she escape without access to any weapons or tools?
She sighed, how long would she spend living like this? How long would it be before she knew freedom again?
Would she ever know freedom again?
Corellia:
Eli walked into the small jewelry shop where he noticed an older man bending over a work bench as he repaired a piece of jewelry.
The man turned towards Eli as he spoke, "Can I help you?"
"I was told that Vader came here yesterday. I want to know what business he had here."
"Well, I-I can't tell you what he did," the man replied.
Eli looked towards the back wall and noticed a holoimage of the same man, only ten years younger with two beautiful girls.
"Are those your daughters?" Eli asked.
"W-Why yes," the man replied.
"Would you want one of your daughters to be a slave to Darth Vader? Would you want her to be forced to please him in his bed at night and take his abuse and do Force knows what?"
The man shivered, "T-The thought of that makes me sick."
"He has my friend's daughter. Whatever he bought here was for her, but she's his slave, not his girlfriend or his wife."
"Please don't tell anyone that I told you."
"I won't but whatever you tell me will indicate if he intends to keep her or not."
"He bought my most expensive pieces. In fact, It's going to take me a week to replace the piece in my display case that he paid for, after that, he went through my store and racked up a massive bill before leaving."
Eli shook his head, "He must think that by indulging her, he will make up for the fact that she's his plaything. It appears that he will have to learn the hard way," Eli stated.
"I don't know if this will help, but there's a shop down the street that sells some of the most expensive gowns and dresses. He could have stopped there," the man added.
Eli nodded as he eyed a beautiful golden chain with a beautiful matching pendant that contained a beautiful ruby.
"How much is this piece?"
"Nine hundred," The man replied.
"I'll take it," Eli replied.
"Very well," the Jeweler replied.
A few minutes later, Eli entered the large shop that the jeweler had described to him as he scanned the room.
He noticed a pretty dark haired woman walking towards him as she spoke, "Can I help you?"
Eli probed the woman's mind as he spoke, "I want to know what business Darth Vader had here."
The woman said nothing as Eli spoke, "He paid you off for a reason, he has a slave girl on his ship. He bought everything for her, she's fifteen years old and she's just beginning her life. Of course it's been stolen from her. How would you like to be in such a position?"
The woman shivered as she spoke, "He spent thousands on her, and he bought some beautiful gowns like the one on that display."
Eli stared towards the mannequin and noticed a dress that left the shoulders and back completely exposed. He also noticed how tight the fabric was as he spoke, "There's no way in hell that I would let my daughter wear anything like that."
Eli looked towards the woman and spoke, "Thank you and have a good day."
Eli was filled with disgust, Anakin was trying to buy Padme's love with expensive jewelry and expensive gowns, and Force knows what else.
Did Anakin really know just how foolish he was? Eli almost wanted to laugh at Anakin's stupidity. Everything would backfire on the young man in the end if he didn't change his ways.
Alright, that's it for now, Thank you for reading and reviewing. Any more guesses on Eli? He does seem to know too much doesn't he?
