****************************************************
Anakin awoke in a hospital bed, tied down. Obi-Wan was at his side looking calm, yet tired.
"Where am I?" Anakin asked, trying to remember what happened.
"You took a nasty fall. Lucky you got stuck on some rocks, or it would have been another 150 foot drop. I'm afraid your mechanical arm was severed also," Obi-Wan replied, telling no lies about what happened.
"Wait..... Starr.... PADME?! Where is she? Is she OK?" Anakin yelled sitting up in his bed, his face dead white.
"Starr is OK. We found her on the ground after you saved her," said Obi- Wan. "Padme, she's... well.... Missing."
"What?!? How long? How long has she been missing?" Anakin blurted out, trying to piece his words together through the obvious fear he felt.
A nurse entered the room, and gave Anakin a shot. He began to black out, but managed to see Obi-Wan leave the room before he passed out.
Obi-Wan slowly trudged out of Anakin's room at the Healers and into the waiting area. As he walked through the doorway he saw the gloomy looks plastered across Starr and Depa's faces. He could sense their worry and it made him think of the what if's. We have to find Padme! He thought to himself as he slowly got closer to his friends. I don't know what Anakin will do if Padme dies...... No I cant think about that!
He cut himself off quickly as he saw Depa rise from her chair and rush towards him. "Is he OK?" She began, "We need him to find Padme...Oh I hope she is ok."
Depa's eyes started to fill with tears as she fell into Obi-Wan's embrace. She had hardly known Padme, but they had created a special bond, and she didn't want it to end so quickly.
Obi-Wan lowered her to a chair and tried to comfort her the best he could. "We will find her Depa, We must." He took a long breath and slowly continued. "I am going to speak with the other Council members about this and I want you and Starr to go stay at mine and Anakin's place until we get this all sorted out."
Starr rose from her seat across the room and stared long and hard at them, everything changed so much since Padme had come into the Jedi. She was beginning to get tired of running around, and her face showed it. Her vibrant auburn hair was dirty and mangled and her shinning brown eyes were beginning to lose their spark. Obi-Wan noticed this right off as she looked deep into his soul looking for answers. Answers that would never come.
Depa stood up and made her way for the exit she only stopped when she realized the Starr was not behind her. She turned back to see Obi-Wan gracefully stand up and take her fragile hands in his own. She saw a silent tear stroke down the young girls face and Obi-Wan wiped it away and held her chin lightly in his hand. He brought himself in for a kiss, mainly just to make her feel better but as his lips touched hers it sent a warm wave of love throughout him, he deepened the kiss and only let go to breathe.
He looked back into the young girls eyes and saw the fire that he thought had burned out throughout the latest problems. She loved him, and that's what kept her going. He only just realized how much he really loved her. He almost lost her today. He couldn't bear the thought!
Reluctantly Starr walked away from Obi-Wan and headed towards the exit and out the door with Depa. Obi-Wan watched them fully and then returned to check on Anakin once again before leaving to talk to the Council.
As he walked in the room he noticed Anakin was sleeping once more but his shields were still up and unusually strong for sleeping. Obi-Wan just told himself that he would talk to him about it later and then quietly walked out the door and made his way once again to the Council Chambers. What he didn't see when he left the room was Anakin open his eyes and watch him leave. A thing he should have noticed.
*******
Anakin sat up on his bed a looked around the room swaying back and forth from the shot he just got injected. He quickly yanked all the tubes and wires from his body with his left hand. His good hand. He then quickly turned when he heard the beeping of the machines and did a force trick to shut them down. Hopefully no one comes Please don't let anyone come! I have to save Padme! He leaned to the right and placed his right arm on the nightstand to help him stand. He felt the pressure on his hand. He felt! With his right hand.
Whoa I've never had feeling in this ugly scrap of...... Just as he was about to finish his thoughts he looked down to his arm and what he saw was nit the dull metal arm he expected to see. A clone arm! A million thoughts raced through his head. He was not machine anymore! He looked closer at it, it was an exact match to his original arm the was lost in his fight with Dooku, and he only had a slight scar to where it was attached, Bacta patches had been healing the wound around it since he arrived and they replaced his arm.
He quickly got over the joy at once as he realized Padme was not here to share his joy. No!! She can't be dead! I heard her scream though! But I have to find her...... Even if it's her body.... I can't let her down... I can't ... I can't fail again!
Anakin slowly rose himself the rest of the way up from the bed and grabbed his Jedi clothes that were hanging on the chair and changed quickly... He was running out of time.
When he was completely changed with his lightsaber hooked to his belt and all he put his shields on as tight as he could and cloaked himself so no one with or without Force capabilities could see him. He quietly made his way through the halls avoiding anything he might hit and cause a disturbance. He patiently waited for someone to opened the door to exit so he could leave.
Does anybody come in her anymore? Come on! Someone open the door!! Right when he was about to open the door and scare everyone another Jedi came rushing in and Anakin was out the door before anyone even noticed.
He made his way through the town of Theed suddenly stopping at a shop that was selling speeders, He picked the fastest one and used a mind trick to lower the cost. He then made his way to the last place that he was with Padme. Hoping that he would be able to sense where she had gone. He had tried throughout the way in the town and could pick up nothing at one point he knew that she must be dead, but he couldn't give up and went going. He had to find her. He couldn't let her die. He couldn't fail again!
When he arrived all he saw was blood and torn clothing. He hopped off the speeder and made his way to the edge of the cliff where he has fallen before. He could see a great view of Theed and all the lights that the peaceful town possessed How could something like this happen, and here. It's so peaceful here!
Anakin looked down at the City one last time before he inhaled deeply and opened his mind to the Force. He stood face to the City deep in meditation. Thoughts rushing through his head. He could see Padme. He saw her in a glimpse of the future. Their future. She was holding a little boy, they where on the beach, rolling in the sand, smiling, the a little girl came running to her grabbing her in a huge hug. He loved Padme's s smile, it lit up his day. But they had never discussed having children, especially since they were both in the Jedi Order. He knew that he always wanted a family, but with the Order he never thought it possible, And he knew that Padme loved little kids, but could they have their own.....
His pleasant thoughts were quickly cut off by screams and the image of blood. He could smell the burnt flesh and right when the thought was ending her saw a name. A store name. He knew where she was. They were taking her some where. He snapped out of his meditation still smelling the burning flesh and ran almost falling off the cliff once more to his speeder.
