Over five years, Anakin searched for Padme' and his children, and in the
process he wounded himself from brawls that came upon him, causing him to
have severe injuries (So in other words he is wearing his Vader suit, but
his voice his still not as deep he is only 24 at this point.).
'Padme was right,' he thought. 'This path did bring hatred and loneliness.'
He felt his heart being eaten each moment he wasn't with her, he wish he never left her, but that is the only thing he regrets.
Padme' felt lonely as well, her son and husband have been taken away from her and now she only had Lei and memory. Yes Lei does keep her company but it wasn't enough, she wanted her whole family with her, all happy and perfect, well that was in her dream. She sat at her windowsill at the apartment looking at her wedding ring, fingering the designs on it over and over. She began to tear remembering their small ceremony, it was one of the happiest moments of her life, but now that moment was only memory.
"Mommy," says Lei holding her doll. The doll a exact replica of Lei only it was a rag doll so it didn't totally look like her, but it was special because Padme' made it for her.
"Yes," says Padme' looking down at her daughter. Lei looked so much like her but had a lot of her father's personality; she then wondered what Luke was like.
"Where is Obi?" she was too little to be able to pronounce his full first name or his last name.
"He is at a meeting he will be back to play soon." Obi-Wan was alone after Anakin left, it hurt him the most among the Jedi, since he had lost a Master and a Padawan. So Lei brought him comfort, since she was like her father stubborn, talkative, but was also like her mother beautiful, obedient.
"Oh." Lei's face was disappointed, since Padme' never played with her, she was caring, understanding, but she was always sad to her; she never saw a happy expression and her mommy's face.
"Don't worry he'll be back soon."
"Ok." Lei sat down and went back to playing with her doll.
But then Padme' and Lei are disrupted by the door sliding open; It was Obi- Wan thankfully.
"Obi!" Lei runs into Obi-Wan's arms.
"Good morning Lei." Obi-Wan said cheerfully but Padme' could tell he was hiding something.
"And good morning to you Padme'," He said respectfully with a bow.
"Good morning Obi-Wan," she said in her usual formal, cold voice.
Obi-Wan turns his head to Lei, "Lei I need you to go pack your things, were going on a trip."
"Ok," she responds skipping away gleefully to her bedroom she shares with her mother.
"What's the matter?"
"Darth Vader found us."
Padme' s eyes widened, "He found us?"
"Yes he is on his way as we speak, you must pack quickly before he arrives."
Padme' gets up and walks quickly to her room packing her things with Lei. When done they walked out the door with Obi-Wan, but then Obi-Wan stopped suddenly.
"What is it?"
"Shh."
Then she says in a whisper, "What is it?"
"Troopers, they're blocking the exit."
"There's a fir escape next to my room, we can escape there."
"Alright." They turn around and inside her room quietly. ************************************************************************
They move stealthily down the stairs and to the awaiting spacecraft. But as Padme' and Lei just made their way in Vader appeared.
"I have been waiting a long time for this." Vader turns his lightsaber on showing a crimson color.
Obi turns his on as well and they began their battle.
Vader is the one trying to hit obi-Wan but wasn't getting very far, he was using anger, and Obi-Wan took advantage of his weakness.
"I don't-want to-fight you!" Obi-Wan spoke while blocking Vader's strikes.
"Are you afraid I'll beat you Obi-Wan, like Darth Maul beat your Master!" well that enraged Obi-Wan making him this time strike with all his might. But Vader as well took advantage of his anger. Obi-Wan, after awhile grew tired, he hasn't slept well from being always on the move, and he wasn't prepared to fight either. Then Vader pushed him to the ground, Obi-Wan couldn't get up he injured his arm, which he fell on.
Vader closed his eyes, he has been waiting to Obi-Wan for so long, for him being mean, cold, and trying to forbid him from Padme'. He struck down, but then he felt something in the way; he felt a warm presence near him. He opened his eyes and saw Padme' gasping for her last breaths of air, he took it out slowly, letting Padme' land safely to the ground. He knelt down besides her, watching her flinch at points, blooding dripping from her lip but he wiped it away with his glove.
"Ani?" she faintly said, "Is it really you?"
"Yes Padme', it's me."
"You've changed so much." She caressed his cheek with her weak hand.
"I'm a monster now Padme'."
"No, you'll always be my husband, my love no matter what Ani."
"I'm sorry, I would never want to hurt you Padme', I"
"Shh." She caressed his cheek once more. "I lo- I love you-" she faded her hand falling to the ground.
Vader's eyes welled up, he looked at her motionless body; her glow was gone. He then was hearing cries from the ship close to him; he looked up and saw-
"Mommy!" Lei she banged against the window she out of with her hands, she looked exactly like Padme'.
'Could it be?' he looked closer, it is, it's Lei; she had grown pretty like her mother was. But now his daughter saw him as a murder, he couldn't let that happen. He has to do this for her and his wife. He removed his gloves and laid his hands on Padme's wound. He searched through hi old Jedi powers, hoping he still could heal. He went deep into his mind, searching for his power. He found it!
Obi-Wan watched in awe as he saw Padme's gash vanished!
Padme' opened her eyes, gasping for air as if waking form a nightmare. Vader watched happily, but then everything went black. ************************************************************************
Obi-Wan had bonked him on the head. He helped Padme' up, "Hurry before he awakes."
But Padme' wouldn't budge, "No, I'm not leaving him!"
"But if he awakes he'll take you and yur daughter away in a prison camp."
"No, didn't you see that, he healed me; Sith Lords can't do that! He's coming with us!"
Obi-Wan looked at her disapproving.
"That was not a request Knight." She said sternly feeling her soul firing up.
"Yes milady." He said quietly. Obi-Wan and Padme' picked up Vader and onto the ship. They laid him on one of the beds to rest.
"Mommy what is he doing here." Lei saw the whole thing and disapproved as well.
"Lei, I will tell you later, but your going to have to trust my judgment for the moment."
Lei nodded, but not because her mother told her so, but because she saw a sparkle in her eyes, she could see this Sith Lord lifted her spirit somehow. She walked away and sits in the co-pilot seat and plays with her doll.
After about 15 minutes Vader awoke, he was immediately aware of his surroundings. He then noticed Padme' sitting beside the bed staring at him.
"Are you feeling alright Ani?"
"Yes I'm feeling well." Padme' smiled and laid a hand on Vader's. Vadrer looked at her hand closely and saw the ring he gave her all those years ago.
"You kept it."
"Kept what?" she followed his gaze to her ring.
"Oh yes, why do you seem surprised though?"
"I didn't think you'd wear it after what I did to you."
"No, I'd never do that. You only walked out on me because I refused to leave with you. I was heart broken yes, but I never stopped loving you."
"How can you now. I can't smile, I can't breathe on my own, I can't even shed a tear."
"There is a way t help you."
"How, isn't it impossible?"
"No it is only nearly impossible. But We need to get to the Jedi Temple to do it."
"The Jedi Temple, I haven't been there in years."
"Neither have I." ************************************************************************
