Chapter 4: The Unconscious Victim
There was a shy tugging at her bed sheets. Padme turned to see that she was not face to face with Leia. She moved slightly into the middle of the bed. Leia lifted herself onto the bed and lay next to Padme. "What is it Leia?" she asked in a groggy voice. Everything that had happened at the Kenobi's home earlier had left her somewhat tired. When they had come back home all she could do was sit and read or at least sit and look at a book while she was trying to comprehend on how and why Mara was stolen. She had become very tired for the first time in her life from just thinking. "Did you have another nightmare?"
Leia shook her head. "No, the storm scared me, and I was thirsty."
She must have fallen into a very deep sleep because even if she had lived on Tatooine for three years she would always walkup when a sandstorm started. Sitting up she moved to the edge of the bed and rose. "Leia honey, I'm going to check outside quickly and bring you a glass of water. Just try to go back to sleep." She tucked Leia into the covers and kissed her on the forehead.
Padme took the large cloak from the rack next to the door, placing the large hood over her head she opened the door and looked outside to see if everything was in stable condition. She was about to go back in when she noticed something lying ten feet away from the door. She squinted to see what it was, and then finally realized it was human; clasping her hood together she went up to the body.
She noticed as she went up closer that it was the body of a man; leaning down she turned the man over only to find a lifeless face. With a slight panic she looked around for help. "Why am I looking around?! No one is hear but me and a body." She placed her hand on his neck to check his pulse, which the man still had but very faint. Padme lifted him as best she could, and drug him back into her home. All the while thinking to her-self. 'This man is hurt, weak, or about to die. I can't let him.' She placed him on the long couch in the living room. When realizing she still hadn't gotten Leia her water.
Walking back into her bedroom she placed the water on the bedside table, again she kissed a now sleeping Leia on the forehead. She walked out the room back toward where the unconscious man lay when she saw that Luke's bedroom door was open. Closing the door as quietly and as slowly as she possibly could she noticed the adorable potion he was sleeping in.
She looked over at the unconscious man lying on her couch. He had long dirty blond hair pulled back, some the strains were loose and feathering over his face. He would have been very hansom if it weren't for that scruffy beard he had growing on his face, or at least that's what she thought.
He intrigued her, she felt as though she had known, but she could not have known him in anyway shape or form. "He must be a weary traveler."
A moan came from him as he turned over. Padme being frantic quickly went into the bathroom and came out with a damp cloth and warm water. She sat on freest part of the couch and started to dab his face with the cloth.
After what seemed like minutes had past the eyes of the man started to flicker, and his eyes opened. The first thing that went through her mind was how beautiful his eyes were. They were a dark blue, reminder her of the blue sky once a long thunderstorm had fallen when on Naboo.
The man slowly slid up so that his head was propped onto one of the large pillows. He just looked at her. She was hoping to god that her face was not showing the look of fear she was bestowing from just looking at his face which was felled with compassion not curiosity or why he was here and then he spoke.
"Padme? I finally found you."
