*laughs nervously* you all are going to kill me arent you? *giggle nervously again* Umm... It's the last chapter... Just GUESS what happens...
Chapter 19
"Wake up, my dear," a voice whispered in her head. "It is time."
Khariya's senses began to awaken before her eyes opened. She was lying down on the most comfortable bed she's ever known and she was so tired and there was so much more to do.
There was something her brain was telling her.a fight. and Anakin. A fight against Anakin? No. no, nothing like that. Bigger. aliens. flying. robots. Yes that was it. A fight with Anakin on her side. against an army of robots and flying. things. Anakin. pulled away..
"You're starting to remember, my dear?" the voice asked. Khariya sat up and saw a man standing before her. He was much older and wore a dark hooded cloak.
"What happened?" she asked, feebly. "My whole body aches. Who are you?"
"Princess, you should rest," the man said. Khariya was startled with what he called her.
"Princess? Why did you call me that? Only Anakin calls me that," she snapped. "Where's Anakin?"
"I'm sorry, Khariya," the man said calmly. "Do you have any idea what has happened to you?" The man sat down on a chair at the foot of the bed. "Well, then. I guess I should explain."
"Explain what?" Khariya's head was dizzying. She was so helpless where she was and now all she wanted was to be with Anakin. The man seemed to read her thought.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for you to be with Anakin now. First I want to introduce myself. I am Chancellor Palpatine."
"Chancellor? I'm on Coruscant? Chancellor, what did you mean impossible? Is.is he dead?" she murmured.
"Oh. goodness no. but. I'm curious, Khariya. Isn't it true that you and Anakin had some sort of relationship that was deeper than friendship? Why I heard not even two days ago, that you were seen with him at Tatooine. Am I correct?" Palpatine prodded.
"Why do you talk about it in past tense. Anakin and I. We're still together," she said.
"I'm afraid not, Ms. Naberrie. I'm quite sure that that's quite not so," Palpatine announced. He shook his head and stood up and walked to a bubble floating by a window. "Come and see."
Khariya stood up and walked to the sphere. With two hands she carried it close to her and looked inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you, Anakin Skywalker, take Amidala Padmé Naberrie to be your wife, for as long as you both shall live?" the man asked Anakin. Anakin hesitated, thinking about Khariya. This is what she was always telling me. She told me that I was in love Padmé the whole time. His mind wandered to the night she gave him the Holodeck. She was in tears, even though she was trying to comfort him.
". When this is over, you'll be together. The only thing you have to do is let it take it's path." she had told him that night. A sole tear fell from his eyes.
She was right, he realized. When it was over, he and Padmé were together. but during the path getting there, he fell in love with Khariya. Anakin and Padmé were together just like he had wanted in the beginning but things changed and now he wanted to be with Khariya. but he couldn't. That was impossible now.
"I do," Anakin exhaled.
"Do you, Amidala Padmé Naberrie, take Anakin Skywalker to be your husband, for as long as you both shall live?" the man asked Padmé.
"I do," she whispered. Her thoughts wandered to Khariya and to the conversation at Tatooine they had as they waited for Anakin to return.
"He's yours, dear sister. Not mine. But he has it in his head that he loves me, which couldn't be farther from the truth. You might not think that Anakin's heart belongs to you but by the time we get home to Naboo, there won't be a doubt in your mind. I promise you that," Khariya had announced as she was fixing C3PO. She had been confident in her prediction and in the end, it was true. The priest said the last words and she heard him say, "You may now kiss the bride."
"This is for you, Khariya," Anakin thought as he leaned down to kiss Padmé.
"Thank you, Khariya," Padmé thought as she tilted her head to kiss Anakin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Khariya watched the wedding through the bubble and as she watched she fell to her knees on the floor, crying.
"No. No. Anakin. Why did he?" Khariya choked.
"After the fight on Geonosis, you were taken captive by one of my men and they took you to me," the future Emperor explained. "Without even trying to find you, they had marked you dead and planned a wedding the next day. "
"I don't believe you," Khariya denied. "They wouldn't do that."
"Listen to their thoughts yourself," Palpatine said. Khariya reached out to the Force and heard snippets of what she thought was what Anakin and Padmé were thinking.
"Khariya. Ha. How could I possibly have thought I loved her? Why her when I could have Padmé?" Khariya heard. Khariya was sobbing so hard she almost couldn't breathe.
"P. Padmé wouldn't betray me like that. She. She's my sister," Khariya said, trying to comfort her self. "She wouldn't just... do this... Without... even LOOK for.."
"I thought Khariya would never leave. Now Anakin is mine without a bratty sister to get in my way."
Khariya couldn't believe what she heard. The hooded figure stood before her with one hand offered to help her up and more.
"They betrayed you," he said. "They hurt you. Come with me and you can hurt them back."
"No," Khariya said feebly watching them say their I do's. "I couldn't. They're happy."
"But you're not happy. You're so strong in the Force. You can use it and I'll teach you how to destroy them," he said. He could see her pained state turn angry as she watched furiously at Anakin and Padmé kiss. Her fists clenched on the bubble, bursting it, and he watched, satisfied, as her body turned rigid. She looked up at him, as she was kneeling, her eyes turning into a passionate fire. Her face portrayed her pure livid rage.
"Teach me." she whispered putting her hand in his.
and 'tis done. Hehe you think it's not? Well it is! The movie is over and so is my yarn. Lolz now of course there will be a sequel. ummmm unfortunately, probably wont be till 2004 when the next star wars movie is released. Probably sooner because I'm not sure I'll do what I did with this story where I followed the real plot of AOTC but threw in a new character and added scenes and dialogue so that it made sense but in a different angle. PLEASE REVIEW!!
Thank you, to all the readers who finished my story! Especially those who were here from the beginning in case they ARE still here. Not quite sure anymore because this story took a little over a year to finish.
Special thank you's to Chloe for writing the few "scenes", Josh for always kicking me off the net so I'd work on this story and to my best friend, Yemi for putting up with me. Chances are without you, girl, I would not be writing because you remain the sole person in this world that understands how much writing means to me. At least I hope you do. *grin*
REVIEW PLEASE!!!
