It was very early the next morning when Anakin awoke. He turned to see Padmé still sound asleep in the bed.

"I love you Padmé, but don't worry, this is for the best" He whispered into her ear before kissing her, then leaving the room.
Anakin went to get dressed, and when he was fully changed, he made his way for the front entrance. He turned one last time and looked at Padmé from across the hall.

"Goodbye Padmé, I'll be back soon."

Anakin turned, walked outside and closed the door behind him.
~*~*~*~
Padmé soon woke up. Her mind flashed to the previous night and she looked around for Anakin. She didn't see him and she sighed. She didn't know how long it would be till she saw him again...
~*~*~*~
Anakin walked farther away from the wedding reserve, and the chapel into the large sand dunes. He stood and waited under the already hot sun until a large space craft appeared before him. When it had fully landed, he recognized the figure of Darth Sidious step out.

"Hello Anakin, I'm glad to see you've followed our instructions and brought nothing with you. Follow me this way to the craft and we shall speak more of your joining this Sith's when we arrive."

Anakin simply nodded ad did as he was told, following him onto the large ship, and taking a seat inside.
~*~*~*~
She slid out of bed and got dressed, and went to make breakfast. The resort seemed empty without Anakin... she quickly cooked and ate her breakfast, feeling strangely alone.
~*~*~*~
Eventually the ship arrived on a strange planet, what appeared as a larger craft. They had not spoken the entire flight there and continued on in silence until they entered a large conference room.

"Have a seat young Sith." Sidious said.

Anakin did so and sat down in a large thrown-like seat.

"First, and foremost, this is yours now." Sidious rolled a light saber down the large table in the center of the room to Anakin. "Try it out."

Anakin picked it up and triggered it, it came out in a beam of red, darkest on the inside. Anakin maneuvered it around like a baton. When he was satisfied, he hooked it on to his belt.

"Ah, no Anakin. As for that..." Sidious continued
"Here, this is what you must wear now." Sidious passed him a large black outfit. Long black pants, a shirt and a robe to match. "Put it on, see how it feels. Get used to it."

Anakin left the room and later returned fully-attired in the suit.

"does it look good?" Anakin inquired.

"Perfect. You'll make a great warrior." Sidious replied.

Anakin took his seat once again, as they continued to speak of the rules of the Sith.
~*~*~*~
Padmé wondered where she should go after this; back to the lake resort, or back to the senate. She finished her meal and got up, walking over to the window. She wondered where Anakin was now.......
~*~*~*~
"That's about it,.. oh and Anakin, I have been watching you, i feel you deserve to be declared a Darth. Vader, .... yes you shall be called, Darth Vader." Sidious said.

"So soon? It's only been a day, I have only completed few tasks which were only hunting down rebels. Are you sure?" Anakin asked, politely.

"Yes Anakin, trust me, you are ready. One day, you will get this..." Sidious turned and walked to a cabinet, picking up a large black mask.
"It hasn't been worn since the great master before me. We can tell who has the power for it, only the strong deserve it. You will be the first to have it passed on to you. But first Accept our declaration as Darth Vader for you." Sidious replied.

"In that case, i will accept. I feel bad betraying the Jedi, though, i assume they deserve it for keeping me from Padmé. And so, this seems a suitable revenge, and an appropriate way to still contact her. Speaking of which, how shortly will it be before i can see her again, or speak to her?" Anakin questioned.

"I'm sorry Anakin, we have no time to contact Padmé any time soon, but fear not, you will get your wish. Now follow me, Darth Vader." Sidious said, leading him to an even larger room....
