Hi I'm back! This chapter is a little short and I apologise for that but it needed to be. I will try and have another one up tomorrow but if not it will be Thursday, so keep checking.

Thank you mydogisfudge for reviewing again, I'm doing y best to get these out as quickly as possible.

Brown eyes your suspicions were correct but nothing too bad, I'm glad that you liked the last chapter and that bit, I did too.

REAL thanks for the lovely comments; I love reading your reviews.

Gabi you are half-right with your theory but you won't find out until the sequel really. I'm glad you like those chapters because they're important.

Ok here we go.











He sat in a meditative state as the three young women located on the bed giggled playfully at each other.



The same thing had been going on for the past hour now.



Rabe and Corde had said that they had heard noises outside their room and were worried about their safety.



So they'd asked if they could stay with their dear Padme tonight and she had accepted.



At first they had been much more interested in him and what he was up to, rather than talking to Padme.



But after ten minutes of him sitting in his chair without movement they soon forgot he was even there.



He'd decided to enter a light meditation so that he could distance himself from their loud conversations and also to have a better connection with everything around him.



Padme's presence shone brightly in his mind and he'd felt her sneak quick glances at him many times.



He could hear her thoughts worrying about him and his lack of rest and it caused his heart to warm at the knowledge that she cared so much.



She needn't worry about him though.



He could take care of himself.



It was then that he felt the disturbance in the force and flew out of his chair with lightning speed and ignited his lightsabre.



He heard the gasps of the handmaidens but paid them no attention.



"Obi-Wan?"



Her voice was filled with fear as she spoke his name.



Without turning his attention from the window he gave his orders.



"Get off the bed and lay down on the floor now. Keep quiet and don't move."



They did as he said.



"What is it Obi-Wan? You're scaring me."



"They're here."







........................................

........................................







His statement had rendered her speechless.



All she could do was stare, dumbfounded, at the back of her Jedi Knight.



They had finally come for her.



She took a sideways glance at her handmaidens and they looked just as shocked as she thought she did.



She reached for their hands and squeezed them tight in reassurance.



Their gazes did not falter under hers and they turned from fear to silent determination.



The only sound that filled the room was the soft hum of Obi-Wan's lightsabre.



She turned to look at him again.



He was a statue of calmness.



Her forever brave Jedi.



Ready and waiting.



He suddenly came to life when a blaster shot raced through the window and he successfully blocked it with his blade.



That first shot was followed by a couple of dozen more before the first man burst through the window.



He ran for Obi-Wan and engaged him in battle.



Unfortunately for him, it didn't last long as he was cut down with a blur of the blue lightsabre.



The room turned into complete chaos as glass flew across the air with more blaster fire.



The two over guards that they did have at the Chateau finally broke into the room to aid Obi-Wan.



More men charged the room and the blaster fire increased with every passing second.



Amongst it all she caught sight of her knight fighting off three men at once and her heart leaped into her throat.



He needed help, there was no way he could fight them all.



She had to do something.



She saw him shouting to the guards but could hear the words above the noise of the combat.



She started to rise to her feet when one of the guards grabbed hold of her and effectively stopped her in her tracks.



"Come your highness! I'm taking you and your handmaidens to safety."



She snatched her arm from his grip.



"What? No I won't leave. You're out numbered and need our help."



"Please your highness. They're my orders from Jedi Kenobi. He said not to argue with him."



She huffed out her breath and looked over in time to see the blade of Obi- Wan's lightsabre demobilise one man while he used the force to push another out the window.



"Please your highness, we must hurry."



She bowed her head and stood up with her handmaidens.



"There she is!"



The shout didn't go unnoticed and now all attention was fixed on the three women.

He spun round and stared at Padme.



There was no time.



He ran towards them at the same time a small group of their attackers did.



He stretched out with his arm and managed to cut the hand off of one man who tried to grab them.



But he was unable to stop the one who did succeed in grabbing hold of Corde.



"I have her! Everyone leave!"



Corde screamed as they dived out the window and into the darkness.



He immediately went to run after them but Padme's hand on his arm stopped him.



He turned to look at her.



"Please be careful. Bring her back to us."



"I will, you have my word."



She hugged him tightly before letting him leave.











Tbc.





I'm so sorry that this is so short but I decided that it needed it be separated from the next piece and so it's a little shorter than I had first intended. I'll make it up to you though, I'm hoping that the next few chapters will be a lot longer. Let me know what you think of the action, it's my first time writing it and I hope I didn't make a complete mess of it. I was going for a chaotic feel, which is why there isn't much detail. Ok well please leave your reviews, I love them dearly. Sassy.
