Chapter 3 - The meeting
It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why me? Maé thought to herself. The Queen knew I was looking forward to the banquet and then asks me to sort out her clothes for later which a numerous amount of servants could have done. This task is meaningless and she sent me here to get out the way. What am I supposed to do for the rest of the day? I can't see Sabé, Rabé or anyone because everyone else is at the banquet. I finished the clothes task now what am I going to do?
Maé walked out the room towards her own chambers when she was stopped by an Imperial commander
"Excuse me, Maé is it?"
"Um, yes can I help you?" Maé asked
"Lord Vader wishes to see you immediately in his chambers, if you will follow me now."
"I guess so" Maé answered him. They walked for about twenty minutes until they came to a grey sliding door guarded by storm troopers.
"In you go Maé" She walked towards the door and went in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Lord Vader noticed almost immediately that this girl was force sensitive. This is big news he thought to himself. Perhaps the Emperor noticed her amount of raw talent in the force? If so, she was doomed already and if not...he would have to hide her from the Emperor. I could train her myself and we could defeat the Emperor together Lord Vader pondered to himself. Yes, I will leave early with her; the rebels are nearby anyway so the mission shall not take long. But he needed to know more about her.
"Maé, sit" Lord Vader commanded. He watched her with interest as she smoothed down her dress and sat down. He tried to probe her mind but something was....blocking him? A natural block, how unusual he thought to himself.
"Maé, I am going to ask you some questions about you and your background and family. Answer them as honestly as you can otherwise I will not be pleased, understand?"
"Yes My, my Lord" Maé answered nervously.
"Firstly what is your full name?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Why is he asking me this? Maé thought to herself. Does it matter? Have I done some thing to offend him? I hope not.
"Saramaé Shmi Naberrie, my lord" Maé simply replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
What???????????????????????????? This was his daughter!? All the names pointed towards it. He had even named the child himself after a great sith warrior Saramaé who had nearly killed all of the jedi a millennia ago. No wonder she had had a natural block. Her power came from....himself! Memories of the child's birth and development up until the age of three when she had been stolen by one of the last Jedi, Adi Galla cam flooding through. The reminder of the Jedi opened up old wounds and old memories...........

14 years ago....
"Captain how long until we reach neutral space?" A nervous young woman asked.
"Three hours" the captain replied.
"Thank you captain"
"My pleasure Senator"
Senator, Padmé Amidala Naberrie Skywalker thought to herself. That was a long time ago, she reminded herself before the break up of the Republic and the before the birth of her two children. She felt tears. Stop it she commanded to herself. I had to hide them from him. He would have...oh I don't know what he would have done to them. Probably not hurt them, but then again he was a dark lord of the sith now. He had murdered his old friends and allies. Lord Darth Vader felt no emotions she had been told countless times, but he was still her husband. Maybe still Anakin in there?
Suddenly the floor shook under her feet, breaking her out of her own thoughts.
"Captain, what just happened!?" Padmé shrieked.
"W-we've just been hit by a Star Destroyer!!!!!!" The captain screamed eyes wide open with fear and then turned to the pilot. "Hide the Senator!"
"Too late! They've got a beam pulling us towards them and a shuttle is emerging from the destroyer" The pilot informed them. "And it's boarding us!" Gun shots could be heard outside the door and Padmé Amidala stood there motionless. In that instant the door was blasted open and the Pilot and Captain were shot dead by white armoured storm troopers lead by none other than Lord Darth Vader himself.
"Padmé, we can do this with your co-operation or without but either way we are going back to Coruscant" Vader told her. "It would be in your best interest to come willingly"
"No! I..." Padmé didn't finish her sentence due to the fact that she had just been stunned by a storm trooper.
"Take her back to the ship and leave her in one of my chambers, I will deal personally with her later" Lord Vader commanded.
"Yes milord" the storm trooper answered and with that Darth Vader turned around and strode off towards his shuttle.
