True bond chapter 10
Padme, Obi-wan and Luke exited the ship that had just landed on Yavin four and made their way inside of the hidden Rebel base. "Wow" Luke said looking at the X-wing fighters that were being worked on by mechanics. The three of them where greeted by a female with brown hair and was a spitting image of Padme who has several armed Rebel guards next to her. The Rebel's looked tense as they watched the new comers closely.
"It's ok we are with the Rebel alliance I am looking for Leia" Padme said. The brown hair female who stood next to the Rebels looked at the other women "I am Leia" she said. Padme looked at the girl for a moment examining her and then embraced the woman "Leia…" she said as happy tears rolled down her eyes. Leia staggered back surprised by the unexpected hug from the older woman "Who are you?" she asked confused.
"Its me Leia its your mother Padme" Padme said as happy tears of joy rolled down her face. Leia's eyes widened, she knew she was adopted though she never knew why she was given up for adoption. "Mom..?" she said shakily, the guards left Leia's side and returned to their duties. "Yes, I heard about what happened to Alderan and I feared that something had happened to you so we packed up and came here" Padme said finally breaking the long embrace to look her daughter in the eyes.
"You're my sister?" Luke asked surprised at the woman. Padme nodded "This is Leia your sister, and Leia this is your brother Luke" Padme said smiling at the two of them. It was good to have the family back together…well most of the family anyway, she still missed Anakin even though he had attacked her on Mustafar so many years ago but she still loved him.
Hours passed and they all caught up on the lost years and Padme explain why she had to give Leia up for adoption excluding the part of Anakin becoming turning to the darksdie and how if the Empire ever found them that it wasn't going to be good. Obi-wan walked through the base and thought he saw Rex, but it couldn't be. Rex was a Imperial Stormtrooper unless something had happened to him and he decided to switch sides. But sure enough there Rex was talking with other Rebel leaders about the Death Star.
Rex felt he was being watched and turned around and saw a man he thought had died during the purge of the Jedi "Obi-wan Kanobi?" he asked looking at the man. "I suppose you have a reason for being here?" Obi-wan asked eyeing the man suspiciously. "I understand your confusion sir but I am the one that helped Leia escape the Empire" Rex replied. "I realized that what I did was wrong and I didn't like killing innocents, all those worlds destroyed because I followed orders. I am trying to make up for my mistakes by bringing down the Empire, believe me or not it doesn't matter right now we need to focus on taking down the Death Star" Rex continued.
Over the next two weeks Anakin had been confined to his room but over time he was allowed to roam the station only under guard of course or he was even escorted by Wraeththu. Anakin didn't understand why this darkside user was being so kind to him, it was like nothing he had ever seen before and he couldn't shake the fact that somewhere in the back of the head that he was suppose to know this girl.
Anakin sat inside of his room meditation, meals where brought frequently and he was even allowed to train to keep his body and mind strong but he wasn't allowed to leave the station. The door to his room opened drawling Anakin from his meditation and Wraeththu stepped in holding a tray of food, she sat it down in front of him then took a seat in front of him.
After he ate he looked up at the girl and nodded, he closed his eyes and lowered his mental shields. This was also something that this darkside user had been doing with him, she was helping restore his memory, he didn't know why but something told him that he could trust the girl so he let her enter his mind.
Her presence was cold and full of anger but at the center of it all Anakin felt a warmth, a gentle kind and loving presence. This was also something he had not expected to feel from the darkside user, it was foreign unnatural almost or at least that what he was taught to believe by the Jedi anyway.
The two force signatures connected as Wraeththu entered her master's mind; there she carefully began her work. She had been able to pull fragments of her master's memory back to the surface but noting substantial yet.
After three hours Anakin felt the female's presence leave his mind and he opened his eyes. "Shall we train?" he heard the female known as Wraeththu asked. "You want to train with me?" Anakin asked raising a eyebrow. She nodded then led him through the halls to a empty hanger. "I don't normally train with darkside users" Anakin said walking a little in front of her and turned to face her.
"In time master you will remember" Wraeththu replied and let her cloak fall off of her onto the floor and pulled the two hilts of her sabers from her hips. The crimson blades ignited in a loud crackling hiss. Anakin pulled his on saber out and activated the blade, he had also found it strange that he had his old hilt but it was emitting a crimson blade as well and not the blue one had had remembered.
The two began to lightly spare and Anakin watched as Wraeththu's movements seemed familiar to him, it was something about the Shien reverse grip. The two exchanged blows and blocks back in forth. As Wraeththu spared a genuine smile was across her face, it would of course had been better if Anakin had his memories back but this was as close as it would get for now.
Anakin couldn't help but smile back, the girl was good, very good. The two spared gradually picking of speed and power until they were both going full force, neither one giving ground. It wasn't aggressive of course but when they finished they were both out of breath and sweating. "Thank you for the sparring match master, no one has ever been able to give me a challenge in a long long while" Wraeththu said putting her sabers back on her hips.
A memory or thought flashed in Anakin's mind "Your reckless little one, you would have never have make it as Obi-wan's apprentice but you might make it as mine." Anakin found a smile across his face and then found himself saying "Sure thing Snips." They both froze and looked at each other.
"Master…" Wraeththu said walking up to him and looking into his blue eyes. Her hand gently touched his cheek as she searched for something in him. 'Maybe his memory is starting to come back' she thought.
But whatever memory that had broken through the fog in Anakin's mind was engulfed in it once again. Anakin reached up and took her hand from his cheek, he saw the hope in her eyes but when he spoke the hope vanished and pain took its place. "Listen Wraeththu, I appreciate what you are doing for me and all but I am not your master, I never had a padawan, they would only slow me down."
He turned and walked out of the hanger not wanting to see the pain in the female's eyes. After the door closed Anakin heard a loud scream come from the hanger, it was a mix of pain and anger. Then he heard the banging and crashing of things being hurled around the hanger.
Anakin didn't know what he was suppose to remember, 'why did she keep insisting that she was his padawan?' he wondered. Anakin walked to his room to get some rest, the sparing match had worn him out. He didn't see Wraeththu for the rest of the day in fact a stormtrooper had brought his food to him, normally it was always Wraeththu.
