Chapter 1
On Naboo
Desperate voices were heard in the darkness.
While Anakin was trying so hard to convince Padme, she was struggling with her own feelings. She loved him. It was wrong and they both knew it. She was doing her best to ignore her feelings. If she didn't, she would ruin his life, not to mention her own.
"Anything is possible, Padme. Listen to me ..." Anakin started desperately, but Padme cut him off to stop him from swaying her any further.
"No, you listen! We live in the real world. Come back to it!" She said firmly, but he could hear shakes in it.
"You're studying to become a Jedi and I ... I'm a Senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, you know that it will take us to a place we cannot go. " She sighed to continue.
"Regardless of the way we feel about each other." She quietly added the last part.
Suddenly his hopes were up again. Anakin stood up and faced her. So she felt something for him. That was a good start. He knew she was stubborn, but if she truly loved him like he loved her ... maybe it was possible. Maybe they could be ...
"Then you do feel something." He said looking at her brown eyes.
"I won't let you give up your future because of me." She said with tears in her eyes.
Anakin gathered all the courage he had and pulled her into his arm. She was just afraid. He needed to make her believe that they could be happy together. They would be alright together.
"I honestly don't care about my future. I may become a great Jedi, the greatest even. But I will not be happy as long as I don't have you by my side. If loving you is betrayal to the Jedi, then not loving you is betrayal to my heart. Padme ... I love you." He softly said, not knowing how she might react.
And there it was. Those 3 little words. She was surprised how those little words affected her. It was like she forgot all about her previous protests. All the courage she had before disappeared.
She softly pulled away and looked at him. Those blue eyes filled with tear and desperation. She couldn't resist anymore. In that moment, she didn't care if it was wrong. She just knew her feelings for him was sincere and his for her.
She pressed her lips onto his. There was a warmth. They didn't stop, knowing what they were doing was wrong or the troubles it would follow.
On Coruscant
In the Jedi Temple, Master Mace Windu and Grand Master Yoda were meditating in silence when they suddenly felt a strong disturbance in the Force. It was so strong that it was impossible to miss.
"Felt it, did you?" Yoda asked.
Windu paused and gathered his thought. It was impossible to not have felt it.
"Yes, Master. I have never felt anything stronger before. It was like ..."
"A new Force-wielder." He finished his sentence for him.
Windu nodded. Both Masters were silent, thinking about what the disturbance meant. What could it mean? Who could be this powerful to cause this much disturbance? Who is this child? Where is he? Or is it she? Who were the parents? What could they do with the child? How would they even find it?
Windu's voice broke the silence.
"Perhaps we must check the Holocron. The one with name of every Force-sensitive in the past and present. The name could be registered as one of the future Younglings of the Order." He suggested, but his suggestion was denied with a nod.
"Not on the Holocron, a child that powerful is. Furthermore, just created, this child was. Meditate on this matter, we should. Find this child, we must. The answer to the balance, the child might be." Yoda explained.
Windu nodded slightly and went to his thoughts.
The power they felt, if that person ended up with the wrong people, it could be the end of everyone. They had to do whatever they needed to do to make sure that didn't happen, no matter what methods they had to resort to.
Windu took a deep breath as he closed his eyes and opened himself to he Force. However, as soon as he opened himself up, he was pulled out with almost a scream. Yoda walked to the Jedi Master when he heard the sharp inhale. It was not like him to be like this. What had he seen?
"Master Windu, calm down, you will. What you saw, tell me, will you, hmm?" He asked, though it was impossible to deny that request.
Windu took a minute to catch his breath. It was truly horrifying, what he saw.
"I received a vision from the Force, Master." He started, panting.
"I saw the Temple in ruins, the Senate smashed, and Coruscant itself shattered by orbital bombardment from immense ships of impossible design. I saw Coruscant, the seat of Galactic culture, become a jungle far more hostile and alien than any on Haruun Kal ... I saw the end of civilization. I saw the end of the Jedi ... by her." He concluded dangerously.
It was a girl. A little girl standing in the fires of Coruscant.
"The Qorit." Yoda said, remembering the prophecy they received with the prophecy of the Chosen One.
"She will the end of us. The Force is warning us. We must find this child and make sure this vision does not come true at any costs. We must train her before the Sith does. Or expel her and banish her from Coruscant where she cannot harm the heart of the Jedi."
"Master Windu ..."
"Something must be done, Master Yoda. That child is dangerous."
In the Chancellor's office
Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine was talking to a handful number of Senators.
Do they ever stop trying? It's not like they can stop my plan. I have been planning for at least 15 years. Who are they to outsmart me? My own Master couldn't stop me and now I just have to wait. I must have Anakin by my side. He is so powerful. He is the Chosen One after all. With what I have in mind, no one will be able to stop me.
He came back to reality and saw Senator Bail Organa from Alderaan staring at him, waiting for an answer.
He had to come up with something.
"Yes. Well, you see, the Jedi Masters and I are doing everything we can to stop these assassinations on Senator Amidala." He said looking at her empty seat.
"As for the bank ... " He stopped, suddenly sensing a powerful disturbance in the Force.
He frowned in confusion and alarm. He almost panted as he winced in pain.
What could possibly this powerful. What or Who?
The Force-signature was so light, pure yet similar. So similar to ... Anakin Skywalker's.
"So it has happened." He hissed to himself.
He always knew that Anakin had feelings for Padme. That was the reason he ordered Dooku to assassinate that Nabooian Senator. So he could ask the Jedi Council to send Anakin as Padme's bodyguard.
But to act so quickly and have a child this soon? It could ruin all his perfect plans to have the Chosen One by his side. He felt so dark potential from a child that was only a seed at the moment.
But also ... a light presence. She was the Qorit of the dark prophecy, but also ... what was all the light in her? What if that ...
The voice of a Senator brought him out of his thoughts.
"Are you alright, Chancellor?"
"GET OUT!" He couldn't control his anger and barked.
Once he was alone with his thoughts, he was thinking of a way to turn this event to his favor. He could not afford to lose the opportunity to lose the Chosen One.
But what if he could have the child by his side? It was obviously so much more powerful than Anakin and if it was anything like its father, it would be angry and unstoppable. All perfect conditions to be a Sith.
He wickedly smiled to himself and went to contact Dooku for further instructions.
Done :)
