Ok I wasnt gunna updated today cuz I am hella busy, but I felt bad after I
got my last review.. so here it is!!
********************************************
She wasn't the same Angel anymore. She had different memories. "....Padme.." He whispered aloud. "What have the done to you?"
*********
She looks so different. Her hair, and her eyes. He looked over her, she almost looked like a completely different person.
Why isn't she trying to escape? Anakin stuck his face closer to the door to watch her. Doesn't she want out? Anakin noticed she was alone and that she could escape real easily, it wasnt that hard for him to get in. She could get out any time she wanted to.
He was wondering about why she wasnt leaving when the door on the other side of the training room swung open and no other than Vorsha came running to her side, looking as angry as ever. he noticed Vorsha began to say something, so he zoned into the Force and listened to every word said.
"My love are you all right?" He breathed heavily as he tried to comfort her in a hug.
"Yes, I'm fine, why do you ask?" Padme pulled out of his embrace, and walked over to a bench and grabbed a towel and started to wipe down the sweat on her face. She plopped herself down on the bench, completely exhausted.
"What's the matter?" Curiosity creeped in her voice.
Vorsha took a few steps toward her and just stared down a t her black hair as she studied the padded floor. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up so that she was standing just inches away from him. Her hair still fell freely in her face, and he swiped his hand up to move it away.
"Nothing. I just had a feeling you were in danger, that's all." He brought her forehead to his lips.
"I would never leave, if that's what your afraid of." She lied right to his face.
All the while Anakin was on the edge of tears. He couldn't believe the words that were coming out of her mouth. And most of all to him. he couldn't believe it, no matter what excuse he told himself. Was it all a game? Was she pretending to love me? Or is that what she is doing to him? i hope it is.
Anakin could no longer hold his anger. So many bad explanations came to mind, he couldn't control the rage and jealousy he had boil in his blood as he saw them kiss. His blood boiled even more when he saw them hold each other, saw Vorsha kiss the lips, only he was meant to.
He couldn't hold it in. And Obi-wan was no longer here to stop him from doing the wrong thing, and choosing the wrong path. he barged into the room, not caring about the looks he received from its occupants. He just wanted some answers, but he had a feeling his anger wouldn't give him enough time to get them.
ANAKIN! Padme screamed out in her mind. She couldn't measure the amount of happiness she had in her heart just then, but she knew she had to keep up with her plan, no matter how much it would hurt. She had to do. Just till Vorsha was dead. He is not going to like this! She thought of the reaction Anakin would give. I'm sorry Anakin.
"Ahh. Skywalker. How nice of you to join us. Its about time you arrived. better late than never right?" Vorsha pulled Padme closer to his side, to keep her away from Anakin.
"Is this the danger for me that you felt?" Padme questioned Vorsha holding no emotion. "What a pitiful excuse for danger."
"I'm here for Padme. "Anakin spat at Vorsha trying to ignore the sneery comments from his Angel directed toward him. I will not listen. Its fake, all fake!
Please don't believe me Ani!! Please! Padme hoped that Anakin would not lose his concentration. Just this once Anakin, just this once hold your anger!
"Ahh, but she is not for you to have, you had your shot, now its my turn to give her the right destiny." Vorsha stepped forward at Anakin.
"Do I know you?" Padme questioned after hearing from Vorsha that he had his chance. Her plan was working great so far, but she could tell Anakin was on the edge of snapping.
Anakin's heart now just completely broke. She could look him in the eyes and tell him that she didn't love him, just in different words. Say that she didn't know him, didn't remember their love.
"No. I guess you don't." He replied sadly to her.
She has been brainwashed. Anakin almost cried out. She doesn't remember our love, doesn't remember me .
Anakin took a step back to the door as if he was giving up in defeat, Padme was in shock as she saw him back up, but when he stopped she was completely relieved. He wasnt going to give up that easy.
Maybe her memory could be brought back. Anakin stopped his retreat to the door, and stared at the two other people in the room.
"Be prepared to die Skywalker." Vorsha announced as he picked up on Anakin's thoughts.
Now was Padme's chance to act............... it was now or never.
****************************
Padme was breaking down inside. She told herself over and over again to do ahead with her plan, but just looking in Anakin's hurt eyes, brought tears to her eyes. I have to get Vorsha killed!! She continued to yell at herself and gather courage.
"Give it your best shot Vorsha!!!" Anakin blared loudly.
JUST DO IT! She finally stepped forward in between the still fighting men. " Stop it!" she yelled and gathered their attention. "Stop this foolish and not to mention childish fighting!"
She walked back over to Vorsha, face to face, trying to get his attention off of Anakin, for just enough time. He looked her deeply in the eyes and she successfully won him over. She lost all focus he had on Anakin.
"This man has done nothing." She seductively turned him around so that she was facing Anakin, and Vorsha could no longer try to see him. Padme looked at Anakin for a brief moment and she could tell that he was hurt badly, but beyond that he was jealous.
"He has done no damage yet, just let him go." She whispered just barely loud enough to be heard.
"My dear, I cannot let this...." His whispered reply was cut short by Padme crushing her lips furiously against his. Her plan was working. Vorsha softened and deepened the kiss in return, all this thought drifting far from Anakin.
Come on Anakin hurry up!! Padme whined in her head as she had to kiss the disgusting creature before her. She wanted Anakin to hurry up and attack, she was beginning to feel her dinner rise as Vorsha deepened the kiss more. She was completely repulsed by having to kiss Vorsha the way she was.
Anakin stood and watched, he couldn't move. Couldn't think. He watched in rage as they stood for what seemed like minutes just kissing, getting deeper and deeper. Anakin was breathing heavily, his breath hot, and his blood boiling over, his face was turning bright red, and his was right on the breaking point.
I've seen enough! He charged forward igniting his lightsaber and shoved it into an unexpecting Vorsha's back. He had no idea it was coming, instead of keeping his mind open to the things around him, he had focused all his attention on Padme. Mistake, big mistake.
Padme had seen Anakin's anger take its limit and just before he shoved his lightsaber through Vorsha's body she pulled herself back, using the Force to quicken her movement, and avoided Anakin's searing blade as it cut through the front of his body and then pulled back out.
"Always keep you mind on your suroundings!" Anakin spat at the crumbled and dying form the lay on the floor. Vorsha had died without even a fight, but he died with the knowledge of thinking Padme loved him, and he was happy.
"Anakin." Padme whispered and she brought her hand to her lips.
"You remember me?" He questioned raising a brow.
"Of, course I do" She tried to stand up from her fallen position, but was to weak. "This was all a plan. I had to pretend to love him, to get back to you. I did it to get back to you. I had to do it. I had to see you again, I had to tell you I was sorry for not believing you about Lyla."
Anakin stood before, not sure of what to think about her explanation. But he knew Padme would never lie to him, he cold always tell if she was. "Do you hate me?" She questioned him when he didn't reply.
"No. Of course not." He gave her a helping hand and pulled her up, his lips just inches from hers. He held her in his arms tight as if she would disappear if he let go. "You did what you had to do. And you are brave for doing that." He looked in her eyes and they were filled with tears of happiness. "I love you." He whispered against her lips, before her pulled her in for the first passionate kiss that they had in weeks.
"I love you too." She whispered back in between kisses.
*********** When Anakin finally pulled away he felt a disturbing surge of darkness throughout his body. He could tell by the look on Padme's face that she felt it too.
"Sidious isn't too happy." He pulled her in the direction of the door.
"Sidious is Palpatine." She told him as they exited the training room and now ran through the maze of a palace. Anakin stopped as soon as he heard her words. He didn't want to believe them, but deep down he knew they were true. Palpatine had always been there for him. He had always brought Anakin self-esteem up, just by telling him that he was the best. Was it all a plan, a game?!
"What?" He questioned trying to make sure he heard her right. He couldn't believe that the Chancellor, leader of the Republic, of all people was a Sith. And not just a Sith. But the greatest Sith.
"Palpatine, the Chancellor, is Darth Sidious." She restated, and tried to urge him forward before they got caught.
"How do you know?" He started walking behind her slowly.
"I saw him." She pulled him forward for him to go faster, he stayed going slow, still trying to place all the facts.
"And, it all fits." She added. " He has control over the Republic, he is extremely powerful, and he could brainwash the Senate, saying it is for the good of the Republic. I can't believe all the things I did to help him get power. I'm so stupid"
"No, your not." Anakin caressed her face. "He is just doing all this for power. He wants to be the ruler ."Anakin whispered mainly to himself. "He wants more power."
Padme had taken to looking at the ground, her eyes widened as she looked up, finally realizing something. "He's trying to create an Empire."
"Well, he is doing a good job of it." Anakin was now pulling her, sensing something heading their direction. "Come on, we have to get out of here and tell Obi-Wan and the Council!"
"All right." She answered back as they ran ahead through the twisting halls. "Where is Obi-Wan waiting for us at?"
"I had him wait on the outskirts of Theed." He shielded them from the guard that blocked the door he entered through. "He has a ship ready, we have to hurry before those Troopers catch us." He noticed the StormTroopers that were following them. They were a ways back, but they were still there.
As they entered the alley way, they could hear the alarms blaring off in the underground hideout. Now more Toopers would be after them. the Troopers gained speed once they emerged into the city, but Anakin deflected all the shots they managed to fire. It wasn't easy for him though. Padme hadn't been out in sunlight for weeks, and her eyes couldn't handle the force that the light brought to her eyes.
She slammed them shut and covered them with her hand. She screamed in pain, it felt as if knives had just been stabbed into them. She grasped Anakin's hand tighter and the whole way to the ship he led her, her eyes still blocked from the bright rays of the sun.
"Its all right." He whispered to her as he saw their shinny ship come into view. "they will adjust within a few days."
Padme just wanted to get on the ship. she had been running for what seemed like hours to her, and having to run with her eyes closer not knowing where she was going was even harder. And she was already tired from her 'boxing match' earlier, she just wanted to faint.
She knew the ship was near when Anakin slowed her down and grabbed her by the waist, and then picking her up and carrying her up the ramp, the way he did the night they got married. She could hear the engine of the Cruiser humming loudly and the creaking of the ramp closing beneath them. But more than that she could hear the footsteps of the dozens of Troopers nearing and the pings of their blaster bolts getting deflected of the ships shield.
When the ramp was fully closed the door that led into the main part of the ship opened and Anakin still carrying Padme ran into the sitting area behind the cockpit, still hold Padme. He set her down gently on one of the longer bench seats and he could tell she was tired and needed sleep. She tried to open her eyes and look at Anakin, but the light in the room was still to bright for what her new colored eyes were sed to. Anakin noticed this and called out to Obi-wan and Starr who had just rushed in, having set the ship on autopilot.
"Dim the lights!"
After the lights dimmed and Padme was able to adjust to a lower set light she looked at her friends. She couldn't believe how long she was separated from them, and now she never wanted to leave.
******
"You should get some rest." Anakin sat next to her on the on the bench. He pulled her in a deep hug and he could feel all her anxiety loosening up to his touch.
"I'm not tired." She looked him deep in his eyes, he could tell her eye color had changed, but he couldn't yet see how drastic the change was. "I'm just thirsty really, a little hungry, that's all."
"You should eat." Obi-Wan walked up. " We wont be arriving at Corscaunt till tomorrow afternoon." Obi-Wan then walked on in the direction of the ships bedrooms and gave Starr a needing look.
Starr could tell that he wanted to talk, so she slowly followed behind him to his room. She wanted to tell Padme about everything, but it obviously was not the time. So she walked down the hallway leaving Anakin and Padme to help themselves to their own problems, and she made her way behind the man she loved, rehearsing what she was going to say in her mind.
*****
Anakin had made them some 'homemade' soup and they were siting quietly in the small kitchen area of the Cruiser. Anakin ate his share, and Padme just sat looking into it as if it held a secret, every so often she would stir it up, but she never took a bite.
"It's not that bad!" Anakin grinned at her.
"Oh," Padme looked up. "No, it's good, just..."
She gave him an odd look, and decided that she would wait to give him the real reason for her worries. " I'm just not that hungry." She lied, and he could tell.
"Padme, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, or atleast get to you sooner. I wish I could have."
"It wouldn't have changed anything." She tried to argue the issue. "It wouldn't have stopped the things he did to me. The things Sidious did."
"What did he do?" Anakin was completely frightened, he had an idea of what might have happened, but he need to know for sure.
"I think you know that already." Padme looked back to her now cold soup. She could feel his anger rise. He fears were coming true, and the thought of it disgusted him. He didn't blame Padme, he never would. He blamed Vorsha, no Sidious. All he could think of now, was how many more painful ways he could have killed Vorsha, to make him pay for what he did. But nothing was good enough, and he had already given him a quick death, and that outraged him.
"That's not the only thing." Padme interrupted his thought. She was still looking down stirring her soup but she continued. "Sidious... He did.. Something. I don't know what it was, but I don't think it was good. I don't remember anything from it, or what it was about, but they kept calling it a 'procedure'."
Anakin looked down at his empty bowl, he sniffled a little, but inside he was fighting tears. So many things had happened to her.
"I am so sorry." He stood up and walked to her side, he knelt down next to her chair and just looked at her. She was so stiff, so uncomfortable.
"Just hold me. Just love me. I missed you so much." She turned to him and he could see the color of her bright eyes, but that didn't catch his attention. what struck him speechless were the tears she had rolling down her face. They were so full of love and care, that he knew she really did want him the whole time she was away.
He raised up on his knees and Padme sank to the floor with him, glad to finally be free of all her secrets that she had kept for the past weeks. They held each other as tight as they could but after a while, the moment became uncomfortable and they both pulled back, their eyes were both blazing with desire when they pulled in for a kiss that would renew their love. The kiss grew and soon they were making their way to the bedroom.

He raised up on his knees and Padme sank to the floor with him, glad to finally be free of all her secrets that she had kept for the past weeks. They held each other as tight as they could but after a while, the moment became uncomfortable and they both pulled back, their eyes were both blazing with desire when they pulled in for a kiss that would renew their love. The kiss grew and soon they were making their way to the bedroom.
