"I can't believe you can't even fix a simple ship!" the queen muttered to the Jedi hotly.
"Well maybe if your majesty would stop interrupting me…" the Jedi shot back, uncharacteristically losing his temper.
And Amidala felt it. She felt a twinge of guilt and hurt at the feeling he was projecting towards her.
"Amidala…" he started turning towards her.
Her eyes shot up and turned cold once more, she ignored the warm fire that wanted to run her veins.
"I told you not to call me that Jedi." She said.
He huffed in frustration and turned from her once more.
"I just don't understand why you are acting this way!" he cried.
"Well if you don't know! I'm not going to tell you!" she answered.
The queen and the Jedi had been arguing like this for most of their trip. And so far their trip had been far longer than they both had expected.
Obi Wan had been unable to overdrive the ships system and they where still on their way to an unknown planet.
* * * * * *
Anakin had gotten Sabé out of the Hall safely, but as the Jedi soon realized after the attack, there really wasn't a great danger inside the hall. The droids had indeed ignored everyone else, but they had followed the Jedi master Obi Wan Kenobi, and the Queen of Naboo.
Anakin learned that they had left the planet, and that their ship could not be located.
Sabé had screamed at the people then. Why couldn't they find her? She yelled. They were Jedi knights after all.
Anakin couldn't blame her, if it wasn't for his Jedi training, he would've yelled too.
But with his Jedi training he was able to calmly walk out of the room and take the crazed handmaiden with him.
"Sabé." He said in a gentle voice.
Her head snapped onto his face, her eyes red anger.
"I was supposed to protect her." She said gritting her teeth.
"So was I!" Anakin replied. He took a deep breath and with calmness he never had, he said. " All we have to do is find her Sabé."
"And how are we supposed to do that Jedi?"
He looked around him, checking if anyone else was near enough to hear.
"We are going to every planet that begins with Mos and search." He replied smiling.
The handmaiden looked shocked.
"But they've forbidden you to leave. They want you to stay here, until they give you permission…"
He cut her off.
"I know. But this is Sabé. I need to find her." He said eyes blazing with determination.
She nodded.
Poor Jedi. She thought to herself. He's so much in love. In love with someone who will never be able to love him back.
But she smiled at him anyway. Even if he wasn't very smart in picking the right girls, he was really great at planning schemes.
Just the way I like them.
They took of together, and boarded Obi Wan's ship.
And as they disappeared into hyperspace, a green shadow appeared.
"Wise is this?"
"You said to let them go." Mace Windu answered.
"Future is now cloudier for Jedi Skywalker."
Yoda stood with Mace at his side looking up into space.
"Decide our future, these next days will."
* * * * * * * *
"Oh god Obi Wan!"
Grunt… "I'm sorry! It's not like I can move any faster!"
"Well you'd better."
Obi Wan stood next to the control panel and was currently dismantling it, with hope of finding the wires that would stop the ships' current coordination. And as it had been all night, Amidala was at his side.
"We're going to be there soon." The queen cried.
"I know."
"No I mean look outside." She said pointing to the ships window.
He looked at where she was pointing and saw a planet. And they were speeding up.
"Oh no."
"Oh no? That's all you can say?"
"Well what else do you want me to say Padmé?"
"I don't know you're the Jedi, figure it out!"
"Well all we can do now is land, and hope that there's some decent ships on that planet."
He said philosophically.
"That's an unknown planet!" Amidala cried her hands waving to the planet.
"I know that my queen…" Obi Wan sighed.
"Well?"
"I assure you, you don't need to worry about anything. I'll protect you." He said.
She stopped her ranting and looked at him. For a moment her eyes softened, but they immediately sharpened again.
"Yes well, it's your job isn't it? It's what you're good at." She said walking away in a huff.
Obi Wan watched her go in amazement. He shook his head and sighed.
Women. He thought.
I heard that Jedi. She said through her thoughts.
* * * * * *
As they landed on the planet, Obi Wan sensed them. This planet was indeed inhabited.
And the habitants seemed to have great force sensibility.
He sighed. This could mean trouble. He did not voice his concerns to Amidala.
The queen herself was no longer arguing with him, she seemed more focused and more subdued.
"There's people here isn't there?" she commented quietly as they stepped of the ship.
"Yes this planet is inhabited." Obi Wan replied unloading two duffels bags of necessities.
"Give me one of those." The queen said nodding to the bags.
"That's quite all right." He said.
"I can carry a bag Obi Wan." The queen insisted.
He nodded handing her the bag.
"That's good isn't it? Now we can get a ship."
Obi Wan did not reply. He didn't want to worry the queen further. And on some level, he knew that she sensed some danger too.
"Well we'd better get moving. I sense some people over that way." He said pointing north.
They started on the long walk, Obi Wan and Amidala walked alongside each other each of them staying silent.
* * * * * * *
She had been hunting all day. Tiene Opier, had been meditating and hunting alone for the past three weeks. She did not take breaks any longer. She sensed that what she was hunting was now getting nearer and nearer. She longed for the day when she could finally capture him.
She ran as fast as she could, her heartbeat keeping her pace steady.
She climbed up a tree and jumped from one to the other. Her head was pounding, but her concentration remained intact.
This was the day. She realized. I can feel it.
And suddenly there it was.
* * * * * * *
Obi Wan stopped walking and kept as silent as he could. Amidala, who was further up the road from him, turned and gave him a questioning look.
Obi Wan had felt someone very near. Someone strong in the force.
He put a finger to his lips, silencing the queen.
"Someone's here." He stated and as soon as he said the words he was hit.
He went down like a tone of brick. He was shocked even as he went down, how could he have failed so easily he wondered. And suddenly he was being tied up. Tied up with some hard material. His lightsaber fell from his belt and was picked up by a hand. Obi Wan struggled to get free and he could hear Amidala yelling and shooting a blaster.
"No Padmé! Don't!" he cried.
The blaster shots died down and he heard Amidala come to his side.
"Are you his master?" a voice asked.
"What?" Amidala asked.
"Are you his master?" a woman's voice asked again.
"OF course not!" Amidala said, bending down to him.
She cut the bonds that had tied him up.
Obi Wan looked up and what he saw next was a vision.
A beautiful woman with fiery red hair stood before him. She looked to be a warrior and the blue skins he wore were barely decent enough to cover all of her body.
She stood in a warrior's stance before him and held her hips.
"I am Tiene Opier. Princess of Dathomir. I claim this man to be mine." She said with a dignified voice.
