----------------------
As Padme Skywalker stared out into never-ending space, she thought of about what happened just days before...
Three days ago...
"Senator Amidala, we must go now!" exclaimed Obi- Wan. He knew that his former apprentice detected his presence near Padme, and he also knew that Anakin was well on his way over here.
Just as they planned days before, Padme took only a small traveling bag and gave one last look at the last picture of her husband smiling. But he was a dangerous man now, and he could not be trusted. She had to leave for her own safety, but she would rather be with him. Anakin Skywalker had turned not only to a violent husband, but he had lost all his light that used to be in his piercing blue eyes. The eyes that always drew her gaze to him, the eyes that seemed to understand everything and anything. But those eyes were now dark with hatred for all that was good and just. She had to leave him.
As she leaped on to the waiting ship outside her window, the door slammed open with tremendous force. Vader's eyes seemed to bore through the very walls of the small apartment. He knew she had gone with the first step into the room. He let out a roar that would have shaken trees.
"Search the perimeter and send a squad after them," snarled Vader. With a look of pure hate, he turned sharply and left the room. He would not let her out of his hands that easily. He had worked so long for such a prize to escape. He loved her more than anything in the world, but he also owned her. Nothing would stand in his way.

"We have reached Croen-9. Please remain seated while we land," said a scratchy voice that emitted from the com. Silently, the door opened and Obi- Wan stepped into Amidala's chambers. With a seemingly calm expression, he was a well built man for his age. With orangy- reddish hair, he had a certain confidence to him. He had gone through so much in such a little period of time. The Jedi Temple had fallen under the hands of Darth Vader and the Emperor. With only him and Master Yoda as the survivors of that fateful day, he vowed to protect Senator Amidala from the same man that was his apprentice.
Promise me, Obi- Wan...Echoed the words of his late master. He had kept his word and taken Skywalker as his apprentice against the wishes of the Council. This child was rogue, arrogant, and careless, but he still cared deeply for Anakin like any father to his son. He had always been anxious and suspicious of Ani's constant contacts with the Chancellor, but the day Anakin turned was the day that the bond between them had broken. But if Obi- Wan focused enough and reached out deep into the Force, he could still feel what was left of the Anakin that he knew. The Ani that had flying skills of an expert and the fighting abilities that nearly equaled Master Yoda. What had gone wrong?
Obi- Wan could feel the loneliness seeping from the room even before he stepped into the room. He saw Padme looking longingly into the window with a expression etched with worry and sadness.
"We are about to land, Milady. I hope that these accommodations will be comfortable for you," said Obi- Wan.
With a sigh, Padme slowly turned to acknowledge the gentle voice. "Thank you, Master Kenobi, I hope I haven't been too much trouble."
"You will be staying at a close friend and loyal citizen of the Republic. Feel free to roam the grounds, but please remember that you are still within reach of Vader."
"He is looking for you, and with great force. He is getting closer and closer each, so please proceed with caution, Senator. We only want the best for you."
With only a curt nod, she got up and grabbed her traveling bag. Silent cries of sadness muted her into silence. All she could do now was try to cope. There will be a day when she would get her Ani back. No matter what the cost.
As she stepped down the ramp and down the walkway to the house, she was thrown into the air, followed by a colossal explosion...
