He had walked away from her. From his heart. The single perfect moment in his life had been when he had held her, when he had kissed her. He walked now towards the Hall, where his padawan waited for him. Anakin, the boy trusted him so completely. How could he ever betray their friendship? And by betraying Anakin he would be betraying his fallen master also. It was an impossible love. They both knew it.
Then why did their love seem to be fate? And why did his heart cry out each time he took a step. He shook his head.
You are a Jedi knight. She is a queen. This is for the good of the galaxy. He thought, trying to speed his pace up. He could still feel her. She had stopped crying and was just walking out of the garden. Obi Wan did not look behind him.
* * * * * *
He stood in the shadows. His presence was not known. He had witnessed the little scene between the Jedi master and the queen.
"Trouble is this." He said quietly. And beside him Mace Windu revealed his presence, stepping out of the shadows.
"Obi Wan has done the right thing."
"Right thing is it? Know I do not. Love her he does, love him she does. Right to apart from love is it?" he asked.
Mace Windu could not respond. In all his years as a Jedi he had never heard the Jedi master talk with such uncertainty. And as he turned towards the Jedi Kenobi, who to him was still very much the boy Qui Gon had practically adopted. Could it be? The queen's destiny lies with him?
Mace Windu sighed. And he and Yoda stepped once more into the shadows of the Hall.
* * * * *
Amidala reached for her head and brushed another piece of hair out of the way.
She smiled at the few senators still outside. And heard Chancellor Palpatine's voice booming out of the Hall. She saw Obi Wan at the door. He was still and his face was once more a Jedi mask.
She walked to him and in her most diplomatically cold voice said.
"You needn't have waited for me."
He glanced at her, and through their bond she felt a slight feeling of surprise. He was surprised at her change in tone.
"Remember Jedi. You are only my protector nothing more." She said once more.
And inside Obi Wan felt her tearing through their bond. She wanted to destroy it, and although on the outside she appeared to be calm and collected, inside he saw that she was far from calm. She was shutting down their bond.
/Don't Padmé/ he whispered through their bond.
She lifted her head to his, and met his eyes.
"Do not show me such disrespect Jedi. I am a queen, and you will treat me in accordance."
He drew his breath in sharply. And nodded.
"Well I was waiting for you, your majesty, it would be against Jedi protocol to leave you unprotected."
"A yes the almighty Jedi protocol. It needs to be followed to the last word doesn't it Obi Wan." She asked her voice cutting through him like ice.
He simply sighed, and prepared to turn around.
Amidala was busy controlling her emotions, and it was consuming her. She desperately wanted to break the bond that they shared, but could not. She wanted to hate him, but it was impossible. Had he been ingrained into her soul that fast?…
And then he was diving for her. And a loud explosion came from within the Hall. Amidala hit the ground roughly.
And suddenly there were cries, and panic. But not where Amidala was laying. It was coming from inside the halls.
She quickly got up and regained her senses. There was a large piece of the ceiling standing in front of the doors now. She saw Obi Wan working to cut through it.
/Anakin! / Obi Wan called.
/Master! Is Amidala ok? / His padawan asked.
Obi Wan sighed. Anakin seemed to be ok, and he could feel Sabé near his padawan.
/She's fine. Listen; take Sabé through that exit I showed you earlier today. / Obi Wan looked to his sides, to the main entrance from the outside world.
"Obi Wan!" Amidala cried running towards him.
Destroyer droids.
/Anakin get Sabé out of there. The queen and I have to leave. There are destroyers here and I think they may be after us/ he cried to his padawan
/Master! /
/We'll meet you at a planet called Mos/ He tried to cry to his padawan but his thoughts were interrupted by the who were now shooting at him. Obi Wan cut his connections with Anakin and hoped that the boy understood what he had meant to say. He turned to block the shot coming from the droids.
"Obi Wan!" Amidala cried once more.
"Follow me!" Obi Wan cried to her through the noise.
He ran towards the docking area, where they could certainly find a ship.
* * * * * * * *
He stood there, trying to calm everyone down. It was a pretense but only he knew that to be true. He cared nothing for these pathetic life forms. He searched the room for the young queen and was happy to find that she was not there. But as he looked to his right, he saw a vision he did not want to see.
The boy!
He's not with the queen! Then who?
Obi Wan Kenobi…
My plan has not completely failed. They will betray him, and my task shall become even easier.
The dark Sith hid his smile, and continued his efforts to calm the crowd.
* * * * *
"Why is there only one ship on this blasted bay?" Cried Amidala holding her dress up in one hand, and shooting a newly acquired blaster in the other.
"I don't know my queen but we'll have to use it." Obi Wan said, blocking the shots, the droids where directing at him.
He had been right the droids had gone after them.
They ran towards the black ship that held the name Fire.
Amidala was the first to go up the ramp as Obi Wan stayed behind and tried in vain to destroy the droids.
"Obi Wan, you're not going to get them that way. Come on, fly us out of here." Amidala cried from inside the ship.
Obi Wan took one more look at the droids, and decided that the queen had a point. He ran up the ramp, and quickly buckled into the pilot seat. Amidala sat on the co-pilots seats and they regarded each other for a minute.
Obi Wan broke the gaze, and looked at the controls. Standard controls, he thought, this is good.
He entered a co-ordinate, and the ship took of.
Unfortunately the droids where still after them.
" I didn't know destroyers could fly in space!" Padmé cried.
"Neither did I my queen" Obi Wan responded, a look of confusion entering his soft features.
He tried his best to outmaneuver them as they shot through space. A couple of shots hit the hull of the ship. Obi Wan had just set the ship on autopilot and was preparing to fire the guns, when suddenly the droids retreated.
Amidala sat there in wonder.
"What happened?" she asked in disbelief.
Obi Wan himself was confused. But, it was more than the droids…
"Something's wrong my queen." He said.
Amidala looked at him and knew that he was right, but she did not have his senses and could not know what was wrong.
"What is it?" she asked keeping her voice calm and cold, as she recalled the fresh wounds that had gathered earlier that night.
"We aren't' following the co-ordinates I punched in. This ship isn't going towards Mos Eisley. It's headed towards the outer rims." He said sitting back on the pilot's chair; he began to furiously work the controls.
"Why would it do that?" she demanded.
"I don't' know my queen. But it might mean that someone has sabotaged this ship."
Amidala's face did not show it, but inside there was a great worry building up.
"Can't you fix it Jedi?" she asked.
"I'll try."
******What happens next???? Yes that's all for now folks. I'm really lacking inspiration.
