Ch. 5
Padme Amidala looked over at the two children that the Kaminoan cloners had just delivered to her. Now, at the age of 5, the cloners had decided to stop their accelerated growth due to the recent unrest in the Republic due to her leadership.
Therefore, Padme had relatively no use for them!
Amidala paced restlessly across the floor of her apartment. What would she do with these two children? The small, blonde boy named Luke sat silently, as if studying her while the darker haired girl called Leia chattered on to her brother.
And on top of the child situation of her own, their were problems within the Republic! The Separatist movement was gaining power every day!
Due to earlier Jedi purge, hundreds of planets had begun to secede under accusations of tyranny. Hundreds of systems joined the Separatist movement every day.
The cruel irony of that was that the Separatist movement was being led by Darth Sidious, AKA the former Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
Now...she just had to find something to do with the two children............
* * * * * * * * *
Obi-Wan cradled Faith close to his chest. The child looked out at the twin sunset of Tatooine, her dark gaze thoughtful, just as Livia's had been. The similarity to his former apprentice made his heart ache, but Obi-Wan buried the pain deep inside so as not to scare the child.
"Uncle Obi-Ben...why did the bad man kill mommy?"Faith whispered, her eyes filling with tears .
Obi-Wan's gray-blue gaze misted over. The Jedi Master blinked back tears, composing himself.
"Well, little Jedi.....that truly should be a story for another day.......Not all Force users are good. Some use the dark side. You will have to make the choice which side you will use. But that will be a long time from now........You will understand some day."
Faith was silent for a moment, then nodded, her dark eyes understanding. "I understand Uncle Obi-Ben. I'll never ever, ever, ever use the bad side.....I'll never do that to anyone no matter what,"the child said, shaking her head with certainty.
Obi-Wan looked into the eyes of the child he cradled in his arms. So many emotions rang with clarity in the dark gaze.
Compassion.......
Determination....
Sadness.....
Confusion......
And....faith. Childlike faith that everything would work out okay.
Obi-Wan nodded, then turned his gaze back to the suns setting. Yes....they would have to have faith, just as they always had.
* * * * * * * * *
Padme Amidala watched as her handmaiden, Corde, carried the two children to a ship. From there, the handmaiden would take the children to her homeworld of Naboo where they would be cared for.....or something to that effect.
From Naboo, Padme would try to forget of her failed plan.
For now, Padme would try to hold together the government she was now leading........that was falling apart at the hands of the Separatist movement.
* * * * * * * * *
Darth Sidious smiled slightly to himself. In barely a few minutes, the Senatorial chambers would go up in flames....with the Senators and Padme Amidala in it.
So what if there were quite a few needless deaths involved in his revenge on Amidala? They were necessary in his plot.
((sick, sick man....))
He glanced down at his chronometer...............Yes, only a few more minutes and he would have control over the government yet again.
Currently, he was bound for Coruscant.
Upon his arrival, he would 'sooth' the citizens and resume his place as the galactic leader.
For now, all he had to do was wait.
* * * * * * * * *
Anakin looked out the window.
All he wanted to do was run away from everything that had happened in the past few weeks. He had a choice.......
Give in to the darkness and hatred that beckoned his soul....
Or flee.
In truth.....Life had simply gotten....too painful.
The constant reminder of his beloved's death was apparent in the hurt in his daughter's eyes.
Every time he gazed into the eyes of Faith, he was reminded of Livia. Every time he looked at Obi-Wan's neutral, but sad, expression, he was reminded of the loss.
No, it wasn't that he was fleeing the reminders and his family.......he was fleeing his own inner demons brought on by the Sith's words and the pain of loss.
He just needed to escape from the galaxy for awhile.....
He just needed to escape from himself.
* * * * * * * * *
Anakin Skywalker looked down at the blank datapad that sat before him on the desk. Sith...this was hard.
'My dearest family (Master, Obi-Wan, Faith...Jedi..),
Due to the recent circumstances....'
No, that wasn't right.
Anakin hit the delete button on the datapad, cleaning it to blank once again.
The words he needed were so hard to find. How was he supposed to express the fact that he was leaving.....and may never return?
Anakin turned back to the datapad, intent on finding the right words to express what was going on inside of him.
*************************
Well, I am so sorry this chapter was so short....I just felt this was where it should end!!!
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the future/coming chapters......
Darkness and storms rumble in the near future for the once strong Republic. Will the government, which at one time stood mighty and tall, be reduced to ashes under the fire of the Sith?
The Jedi have been all but destroyed, that much is clear. Will the remaining Jedi be able to find the strength to rebuild, even after their ever smaller number is being diminished?
Shadows haunt one specific Jedi, disrupting his once normal, loving life. Now that he has chosen to take a path of solitude, leaving his loved ones behind, what awaits? Will he actually go through with his choice to leave?
If so, how will his friends and family handle it?
Thank you!
