Disclaimer: Yeah, you know which one's are Lucas's and which ones are mine. If not, ask and I'll clarify for ya.
A/N: Okay, another part for you guys. Thanks for all the reviews. You guys are reviewing faster than I can write the parts!!! Oh well, I'm really not complaining.
In response to some of my wonderful reviews: Renee: You hinting at something? ;-).
In response to December Wind: How can the NR do anything, when she's marrying him out of her own will? Just cause he throws around some threats doesn't mean its illegal, just that's its not nice. But technicalities will play a big role. If you guys know anything about Canadian Law…
In response to Brasa: I liked your broth comment, it was cool. And Physics is evil!! (but don't give up on what you love cause of it, not that I'd ever be able to go into Biology)
And to the rest of you, who are all super-wonderful, I still love you guys lots and lots, and I appreciate your support and reviews! Anybody named the Great Butt crack really ain't worth my time…
Broken Hearts, Shattered Dreams, Part 10By Aleese Sundancer
The Duke had won. With all of their struggles, all of the fights in their lives against the evils in the universe, the Duke had won. The moment she heard the soft 'I do' from her mouth, Mara's heart broke and she wept openly.
"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife." The minister said solemnly. The Duke spun Mara to look at him and lifted her veil. "You may now kiss the bride." And the Duke leaned in. Mara turned her face away so that his lips landed firmly on her cheek. Out of the corner of her eye she saw his eyes flash, but return to their triumphant sparkle. He took her arm again and walked her back down the isle towards the door. Outside there was a white speeder, decorated quickly with some ribbons. Some pedestrians walking by smiled and congratulated them, choosing to ignore Mara's red eyes and tear stained face.
"I want to go see Luke." She told him, not moving to get into the speeder.
"There is no reason for you to see him." The Duke said, his smile getting even bigger, even though signs of impatience showed in his eyes.
"I want to see Luke." She told him again. She glared at him openly, and started walking towards the apartments where Padme had housed them. The Duke reached out and caught her arm.
"I don't want you to see him. You are MY wife, and you are to act like it. Understand." He said, his voice taking on an ominous tone.
"I am a PERSON, and I will see who I want." Mara said, pulling her arm away and stalking to the apartments, her dress dragging along the sidewalk. The Duke got in the speeder, and had it drive up beside her.
"Get in the Speeder Mara." He said, ordering her.
"I am going to see Luke." She said, still walking. When they hit the apartments, she took the lift to the floor where Luke was. She opened the door without knocking and stormed in, to his side. The guards left when they saw the Duke enter soon after her, nodding them away, and the Force returned to the room. She could see the energy fill Luke, and he straightened up. She knelt beside him and untied his hands.
"Luke…" she whispered. He looked into her eyes and nodded. In that moment their hearts were one, and their souls mingled. Luke knew everything, but that farmboy optimism returning. He'd thought of something. Silently, he willed Mara to go along with the Duke for a while, while he set everything up. Despite his optimism, he was still crying softly. He never wanted Mara to have to marry that man. The Duke put a possessive hand on Mara's shoulder, and pulled her away from him. She reached out and took Luke's hand, pulling it close.
**I love you** she sent to him through the Force.
** I love you too** he sent back. She smiled slightly, and stood up. Letting go of his hand, she threw him one last glance and was pulled out of the room by the Duke.
"That is the last time you will see that man." The Duke said, and with his firm grip, almost threw her into the lift. She landed hard against the wall and was automatically in a defensive stance. All of her instincts wanted to just shoot him, but being put in jail wouldn't help her or Luke. There was no way she'd be able to get away with his murder. All of her training would be useless, so she was left having to do it Luke's way. The legal way. "You will live on planet with me and you WILL be happy." He emphasized
Mara was content to simply stare at him. If looks could kill…
Luke felt better with the force. After replenishing his store of energy, he got up and wrung his hands gently from his struggles against the ropes. His contact with Mara had been what he needed. He replayed the whole wedding in his head; everything that Mara had sent him. It was heart breaking to watch his love marry another man, but it had inspired his plan. He had a plan, and he would be able to implement it soon. Reaching out with the Force he could still feel his connection to Mara, feel her turmoil and that underlying hatred for the Duke. He reached out to her and sent her feelings of love. He felt her calm down again and smiled slightly. Willing himself to stay optimistic about being with Mara one day, he went over to the comm. and called his mother and sister. After explaining everything to Leia, and getting her and her lawyers to come to Naboo, he rushed out of the room to talk to his mother more about the situation. There was little she could do to save Mara, but she would have much more knowledge than she on laws.
Allie watched from the corner of the room as Luke did what he needed to. She felt horrible, and wanted to just disappear into the corner forever. After watching Luke rush out of the room, Allie cleaned up the room to make it more liveable when he came back. She didn't know what he had planned, but she hoped it would right the wrong that she'd committed. She wished with everything that the situation hadn't happened, but it had. Stepping into the lift after finishing up, she planned to head back to the planet and talk to the family that was taking care of her daughter. She needed to apologize to them. There was nothing more she could do for Mara and Luke; she'd 'helped' enough.
The room was luxurious on the Dukes ship, and was obviously meant for her. There were many more of the same sort of seductive dresses and a couple of jumpers all in her size. She sighed and got out of her wedding dress, opting for a blue jumper. She sat down on the bed and studied the books he'd left out for her, and gagged. So many books how to be the perfect housewife, and a couple of books on sexual positions he must like. As if she'd ever have sex with him. She shuddered at the thought of even touching him or even carrying his children, and put down the books. Children. She wasn't even sure if she wanted children with Luke, let alone the Duke. Unconsciously her hand moved to her abdomen, and a small smile drifted to her face. She could almost see a little baby in her arms, blond hair and green eyes, giggling up at her. Some part of her longed for this little boy, but another part thought 'diapers'. She felt Luke reach out for her with the Force and calmed down her thoughts. She felt his love for her flow through her veins, and then reached back to him. As she reached out with the Force, she felt something strange. Tracing it, she let out a soft gasp. It was impossible…well not impossible but…no. She had to be wrong. Dismissing the thought, she turned back to the books on the table. Maybe Luke would enjoy some of these….
A/N: Okay, for some reason when I updated that story it didn't go back to the top but…bleh! So, just click on my name (Aleese Sundancer) and it'll come up with all my stories. It's the last one called "Where the Past Lies" rated Pg-13. Feel free to review. I also like the number 82…
Any questions for me, lemme know. I know that I don't explain everything, cause its just too hard to cover it all and not have a REALLY boring story line. "and then they didn't do this cause this. And they also didn't do this cause of this. And then…". Hehehe
Love you all.
