Chapter 5 - Delivery
Due to my lack of computer access during Spring Break here, I wrote these two chapters for you all to read. Thank you for reading my story!
Anakin continued running, his body energy running out. As he slowed down, he dove into the Force, relying on its power to keep him going.
His mind then drifted back to Padmé, his instincts and the Force taking over his body. He remembered the beginning o the war; the Battle of Geonosis.
It all began when he and Padmé had gone toe Geonosis to rescue Obi- Wan Kenobi.
"Look, whatever happens out there, follow my lead. In not interested in starting a war here. As a member of the Senate, I may be able to find a diplomatic solution to this mess."
"Don't worry. I've given up trying to argue with you."
From there, they have been attacked by Geonosians, and then fell into the droid factory, almost getting killed several times. Eventually, this led to their capture and Count Dooku's offer to Padmé. She had refused to join the separatist movement, keeping her faith in the Republic alive, even though it meant Anakin, Obi-Wan, and her demise.
They had been sentenced to death after that by Poggle the Lesser, the Archduke of Geonosis. It was then, on their way to e Geonosian arena, that she had confessed her love to him.
"I truly, deeply, love you, and before we die, I wanted you to know that."
"You love me? I thought we agreed not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie. That it would destroy our lives."
"I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyways."
That confession made his heart and soul soar. The two then kissed, their love for one another clear to the two.
It had given him a reason to fight.
Anakin came back to the world, his legs still carrying him. Dusk was falling over the forest he was in. He looked around and feeling through the Force, feeling for life. Besides all of the creatures going to sleep and coming out for the night, he felt the Wookies merely half a kilometer away, while the droids were far behind him. All this time, Anakin's body had been relying on the Force. He could feel the fatigue in his body, but the thought of Padmé, and the Force, kept him going.
In the distance, he saw the grass huts of the Wookies and could make out silhouettes of different figures.
Anakin reached the edge of the village, a duo of furry guard approaching, bowcasters in hand. He held his hands up in defeat, showing he came in peace.
Obi-Wan approached moments behind the guards, talking to the guards.
"He is my apprentice. He comes in peace."
The guards lowered their bowcasters, stepping aside.
"Thank you, Master."
"What took you so long?" Obi-Wan asked, acknowledging his thanks with a nod.
"I followed the scout and managed to take him out. I contacted you, and then I felt around and noticed a disturbance. I felt a convoy of Trade Federation droids. I went looking and found them. They also had super battle droids and an ATT. They're heading for this village," Anakin said, breathing heavily.
"I see. I'll go warn the chief in a minute. Are you alright? Your voice is shaky," Obi-Wan asked worriedly.
The idea that Anakin had just run many kilometers hit him, and his knees began to shake.
"I just ran to here," he said. "I knew I had to tell you."
Obi-Wan held up a hand, telling Anakin to stoop talking and relax.
"Calm down. We have the message and we will plan what to do next. Go and rest. We will wake you when the droid convoy draws near."
Anakin nodded wearily, being directed by a Wookie woman to a nearby hut.
Once in the hut, Anakin laid down on the soft leaf and hay bed, quickly falling into sleep.
