Crimson Tears
Chapter 3
By aznJEDI13
Disclaimer: George Lucas owns Anakin and Amidala and everyone else. Heck, he owns just about everything in the story. This is purely for fan enjoyment.
Notes: This takes place during the Clone Wars. I must warn you right now that I'm not a big fan of Anakin turning into Darth Vader so it probably won't end with anything like that. I hope you like this; I've been reading too many ami/obi ones I was sooooooooooooo mad. That was completely random and I'm going to write a bunch of stories to rebel against them!
I hate love triangles but I write them because it's a plot twister. Right now I have no clue if I'm going to add it or not, actually I have no clue if I'll even finish this one. I don't really know where its going so this is a really questionable story. ENJOY! Feedback is REALLY appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who left a review! Please continue to do so. I was so shocked, I've never had so many reviews and I enjoyed reading them over and over again so please continue! I like long reviews too!!!

'…I can't forget the day I let her slip away, I'm still dreaming about her…'
Sheets were tossed as she turned to her dreams. Vivid moments, seemingly reality, came alive before her very eyes and she dreamed of that happier time and place.
And she remembered.
She walked through the long hall; her footsteps were the only noise.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Thump.
Strange, her feet didn't 'thump'.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Only quicker, she walked faster. Her steps potent, self-assured and conscious. Cautious, was someone following her?
Thump.
There it was again.
Her heart beat heavy. She looked around, from one side to the other. No one was there. No one was around. She turned to her right quickly.
She brushed a loose strand of brown lock away from her eyes. She thought she had seen movement from over there just a second ago. She pursed her lips and squinted her eyes. After convincingherself that no one was there, she turned and began to walk ahead some more.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Thump.
She turned once again to where her back had been. She knew for sure now that someone else was there. She blinked. No one was there. But she had heard what she heard – someone had to be there.
She blinked again.
This was all too strange. She turned to head for the door, but as soon as she turned around she was face to face with him. She shrieked, automatically launching into a defensive stance. "Stay back," she warned, "I can chop your head off with my hand."
The man chuckled, insulting her.
Continuing to laugh, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Senator.".
She didn't laughed in return, but remained stoic, "I don't see what you find so amusing, Sir, but I certainly don't find anything funny."
He smiled, this irresistible smirk, but she looked away and frowned.
"It's nothing, Senator Amidala." He looked at her, confused and then shook his head, "If you'll excuse me, I have to be some where important."
He walked right past her, brushing her shoulder slightly against his. Then over his shoulder, he called, "Still the angel I see."
Leaning against the counter, he turned to her, and smirked. It took her almost a split second to react. She squinted her eyes once more to get the full view of him, "Anakin?"
He laughed, "I suppose you didn't recognize me," pausing, "Must have been my charming good looks or killer smile?"
She laughed, "Or your inflated ego?" She hugged him joyfully, wrapping her slender arms around his now buffer and brawn body..
Charmed sarcastically, "Glad to see one of us hasn't changed Padme."
She smiled, "It's been far too long Ani."
"Please, call me Anakin," He looked down briefly and then up again, "But it's been far too long I agree."
She clung to him tightly, for some reason feeling safe in his strong arms, "I wish we could have kept in touch more." He nodded, "But our lives are just too different, Anakin."
He stepped back and looked at her. Brushing a lose strand of hair away, "They won't always be."
She awoke with a startle, glancing around the room. It had all been just a dream. She had only been reliving a memory. A sweet memory. A memory that would be with her to the end of time. Their first meeting in ten years.
Their first meeting of hundreds to follow.
Following that first meeting was their first goodbye.
Now was not the time for regrets - she had to put all that behind her. There was a reason for these dreams. She remembered and then she smiled. She could see that thin hand written note by Obi-Wan; //I've found him, Padme, I have.//.
Her heart leapt at the very thought – her Anakin was alive.
To be continued…
