Hide Your Love Away
Chapter 2
The office of the Supreme Chancellor was shrouded in darkness. Silence filled the air, surrounding the lone figure at the tranparisteel window like a cloak. His hood was pulled back off his sad, features, displaying skin stretched tautly across his hawkish visage. A receding hairline of curly white hair topped the image. The Supreme Chancellor Palpatine looked like an aging, harmless old man.
But looks were deceiving.
He turned from the window as the door to his office opened, admitting a young woman with jade green eyes. She wore a grey body suit the color of shadows, and a half mask that hid most of her features from view. Covering her eyes and slanted across the lower half of her face, it wrapped around the back of her head. Palpatine looked at her dispassionately. She was a well built woman, lithe and strong, but graceful. She was the perfect instrument.
"Remove your mask."
She knelt on the floor before him, reaching one slim hand up to remove the mask. Golden hair tumbled about her shoulders as the mask was removed, framing a face with classic bone structure. She was beautiful, there was no doubt about that.
"Your report."
She bowed her head, her green eyes focusing on his feet. "Skywalker and his wife are nowhere in this sector of space, your Excellency. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi has recently returned from a mission to the planet Corvis Minor. I cracked the codes on his ship but an hour ago. He was never near Corvis Minor, and was, in fact, in the outer rim. He wiped the memory logs before I could get to them."
Palpatine stroked his face with one hand, regarding the woman thoughtfully. "You have done well, Jade. I have another task for you."
She waited silently, her eyes on the floor.
Palpatine stepped towards her, "The medical droids will give you a compound that will allow you to conceive a child at this time. You are to go to them, receive the injection and then, I want you to seduce Jedi Kenobi through any means necessary."
Her eyes flew to his face, her shock radiating out in wave. "But, my lord!"
His eyes hardened, "You will do this. I must know Skywalker's whereabouts. Do not fail me, Jade, by adding your force potential to his, you should create a child who can serve me when you are gone. If Skywalker refuses to turn, your child will be my chosen one."
She bowed her head and fought back the wave of revulsion she felt at trying to seduce a high and mighty Jedi. If nothing else, this would be a form of revenge. She nodded. "Yes, my Master. I will not fail you."
He motioned for her to leave and, rising, bowed to him one last time before exiting the room. Palpatine turned back to the window, waving his hand at the intercom, "The medical lab if you please," he said in silky tones, so different from his harsh words of before. The perfect disguise, for the perfect plot. His smile was tight. He wouldn't fail.
