Disclaimer: Not mine, not now, likely not ever. Who knows, maybe I'll
marry Hayden Christensen, meet George Lucas and he'll give me the actual
rights, but the chances of that are slim to none (even though Hayden is
'single' and looking for a marvellous intelligent 19 year old girl, which I
would happen to be…)
A/N: so I was reading my reviews (cause I really like getting them) and someone made mention that my um…work wasn't exactly polished. So, if anyone has noticed any problems, feel free to email me about them. I have a bad habit of not checking my grammar (darn you Quebec French!) so it might not be all it can be. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure my characters are saying what they should be saying (not necessarily what I want them to say, cause you guys wouldn't read "Hayden: Elise, I love you" for 18 parts…)
For those who are a bit confused: Aleese Jaide will be in a later part, I know, maybe she'll be in this part, you'll see. Aleese Jaide IS Mara's mother (as I was going to show you later) but I would rather that you knew now. Allie will be back, but I wouldn't want to be around Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker when they're mad at me so bleh! Enjoy!

There was a soft knock at the door, and Mara sighed. "Duke, if you're even thinking about coming in here, I swear…" Mara threatened at the shut door.
"Its not the Duke." The soft voice said. Mara stood up and threw open the door.
"Allie!" She just about screamed. "What are you doing here!?"
"I was on planet to say goodbye to my daughter, and the Duke thought it would be good for kicks for me to say goodbye. Mara, I'm sorry about everything." She whispered timidly. "I didn't mean to ruin your life, I really didn't, but my daughter…"
"Allie, I don't know what to tell you." Mara said, frowning. "I mean, it was cruel. Letting me get my hopes up like that. You should have just let me marry him the first time if you were going to hurt me like that."
"I wasn't, really I wasn't. I didn't think he'd find out about my little girl, and he did and got a message to me on Coruscant. He was going to kill her! She's so little Mara, I couldn't let her die!" Allie said, breaking into tears. Mara sighed. It was Allie, and Mara couldn't go through with all of this having Allie on her conscience too.
"Alright, alright, just stop crying. It's embarrassing. Now, I want you to take a message to Luke." Mara said, pulling her in the room. "I've jimmied this datapad on the 'Essentials to Great Sex' to display a message to Luke. I need you to take it to him on Naboo. I…I don't know when I'll see him next but I need him to know it. Will you repay me this favour?" Mara asked quietly.
"Yes, anything Mara, anything!" Allie said, breaking into tears again. She slipped the small datapad into her pocket and hugged Mara tightly as the Duke wandered in.
About 10 minutes after Mara had left him, he'd begun work on finding some evidence of the rape. Ever since, he'd been working day and night, only ever eaten when forced to by his mother and sister.
"Luke, starving yourself to death won't help Mara at all." Leia had often scolded her. Luke usually ignored her, pouring through law book after law book for the solution he knew had to exist.
"Is there anything I can do?" a feminine voice said from the doorway, where the three figures poured over books.
"Aleese!" Padme smiled, standing up and walking over to greet her long time friend. "You made it."
"Yes, of course. I got your message, and I came to see what the important package was that you needed me for. Panaka pointed me to this room, where I find you and your friends pouring over old texts. Anything I can do to help, it looks like fun." Aleese grinned. Luke studied her in the pale lamplight. She looked amazingly like Mara. The same red-gold hair hung down her back, only streaked with small wisps of silver, stopping below her shoulder blades. Her eyes were a shimmering blue-green colour that seemed to reflect the deep pool of emotions that was underneath. Most interestingly, she shone brilliantly in the Force, and Luke wanted to just sit and drink in the light that flowed from her. She had obviously had some Jedi training in her past, especially with the level of control she seemed to exert. This was Mara's mother, the same body, the same spirit, and the same pool of strength.
"Oh, its no fun. Just looking to save someone from being stuck in a life of hell and misery." Padme said, her joyful tone betraying the seriousness of the situation.
"Ah, Padme, forever the do-gooder. And is this Ani?" Aleese motioned to Luke. "You've changed, only gotten younger though." She smiled
"No, Madame Jaide, I'm Luke." He said, standing up. She was so much like Mara that he wanted to pick her up and twirl her around.
"Luke! The twins?" Aleese said, looking at Leia and then back at Luke. "The little twins. Amazing."
"Indeed, isn't it." Padme said, smiling with all her pride.
"They're beautiful Leia." Aleese said, her voice taking on a less enthusiastic tone, as if she was mourning someone.
"There's more Aleese, we've found someone else." Padme smiled, and lead Aleese to the table.
"Ready my love?" He asked. Allie made her way out of the room, shooting Mara a meaningful look. Mara nodded solemnly and got into a defensive position.
"You wont rape me again." She whispered menacingly.
"Oh my dear, you don't know if I raped you the first time. Let alone if I'll rape you now." He laughed, as if it was some hilarious joke. Behind him, a man came stumbling in, carrying a vile similar to the last time. "Now tell me, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?"
"I don't want to do this at all, and I wont let you do this." Mara spat. She backed away from him, and went through her training in her head. "If you leave now, I wont hurt you."
"My dear, you can't stop me from getting what I want." He laughed and stepped closer, taking her arm forcefully. Mara pulled away from him and glared.
"Don't touch me!" She sneered, moving away from him again, struggling not to do something rash.
"You are mine, and you will learn to act that way. Whether you want to or not." The Duke said, and lunged after her. It was a blur, her mind reverting back to everything that she once was, her body responding to her whim, and then suddenly her head cleared and he was on the floor. She looked up and noticed that the man with the syringe was gone, his syringe left on the floor. Kneeling beside the Duke, she felt for his pulse. It wasn't there. She picked up the datapad that had been on the table beside her, and frowned. It was coated in blood, and there was a similarly sharp point on the side of his head leaking blood. He was dead. She'd killed the Duke.
For a moment, Mara allowed herself the chance to let out a sigh of relief, and then she couldn't help but burst into laughter. He wasn't going to get her again. He wasn't going to hurt anyone again.
This was how the police found her, laughing hysterically on the floor next to her dead husband. Mistaking the tears of joy for those of pain, they tried to consol her as they carted her away for murder.
A/N: Yay? Boo? Lemme know
Oh yeah, there's one bad word. **gasp**. So? So? AHHHH!!! LEMME KNOW!!! 145?
