Yeah, I know it's been over a year since I updated. Very sorry about that.
Please accept my humble apologies and may I die a horrible death if I
should ever go as long again without an update. Anyway it's been a year of
many changes and I just haven't been in the mood to write for ages. But
have decided I wanna finish this story. So here goes.
Family Of The Light: Chapter Twenty
By Jayde Star
Padmae woke early in the morning, a feeling of dread waking her.
"Jayde." She whispered to herself, trying not to wake the sleeping man beside her. But it didn't work.
"What's wrong?" He asked her in a sleepy voice.
"I'm not sure." She replied. "I just woke up feeling as though something isn't quite right." She paused "I think Jayde is in trouble."
"Again?" He asked, "Why don't you call your parents? I'm sure they would know."
Padmae looked at the chrono before deciding it was too early to call them yet. But she knew she wasn't going back to sleep for a while. "I won't call them, not yet anyway. But I think I might go for a walk though, I doubt I'll sleep any more now. You go back to sleep. No point both of us being awake and I'm sure everything really is fine."
Even though the room was still dark she knew the look on his face said he didn't believe her. "If you're sure." He said skeptically.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'll call you if I find out anything is wrong." With that Padmae got out of bed and got dressed.

Padmae spent the next half hour or so wandering about. A couple of times walking close to her parents place, not sure if she should ask them if they knew anything. She didn't want to worry them for no reason.
Suddenly she noticed a familiar face walking in her direction. "Phil! What are you doing wandering around so early in the morning?"
Phil walked over to her and gave her a quick hug. "I could ask the same thing about you, sis." He replied.
"You felt it too, didn't you?" Padmae asked him.
Phillip didn't have to ask what she meant, he just nodded. "I was hoping I was wrong. But if you've felt it too, then maybe Jay is in trouble."
She looked at him with worry evident in her eyes and nodded back. "Maybe it's time we go visit mum and dad and see if they know anything." Without waiting for an answer, Padmae turned and headed for their parents apartment, knowing without looking that Phillip was following her.

Ben answered the door to Padmae and Phillip. All of them realising that the others had felt what they had.
"Mum is calling Uncle Talon right now." Ben said before the others could say anything. "She didn't want Jayde to think she was over reacting or something."
"But we have all felt it. She has to know it isn't over reacting." Padmae replied.
Ben just shrugged and they followed him to the study, where they heard Mara finishing off her conversation to Talon Karrde. Luke stood next to her, looking extremely worried.
"Thank you, Talon." They heard Mara say, "Please let me know if you hear anything."
Mara turned away from the comm. and finally realised her three eldest children had entered the room.
"Mum, what's wrong? Has he heard from them?" Ben asked as his mother looked at them with tears in her eyes.

Yeah, what a horrible way to leave it, I know. Plus it was really short. But it's 1am in the morning. I got the urge to write about half an hour ago and now I have the urge to sleep. Plus it's been ages since I wrote anything so I gotta get back in the swing of things. I might up date again in a day or two. Not sure. But I do promise it won't be as long between up dates as last time. Anyway, I love to read reviews so please post many. The more you post the quicker I'll write the next chapter. Especially as I already pretty much know what I'm gonna write.
