A Rose In The Frost12

The droid rolled around Xerdon, looking for Obi-Wan Kenobi's house. Eventually it found it and stood outside the door bleeping loudly to attract his attention.

Obi-Wan heard the beeps and went outside to investigate. He was shocked when he saw the droid, Leia never went anywhere without it. He stood aside and it rolled into his minimalist sitting room. It was then that he noticed its "record" button was flashing. He pressed it and a hologram of Leia appeared.

"Obi-Wan, Darth Vader has boarded my ship. Inside this droid are the transmissions that were beamed to me. My father will know how to retrieve them. You have to help me Obi-Wan you're my only hope."

He was horrified. "Vader had Leia!" this could be the end of everything. At least Vader did not know her true identity that would make the situation a hundred times worse.

Padme stood on a high corridor watching Vader's shuttle land below. She watched several stormtroopers exit the ship followed by a girl then Vader. However it was the girl she was interested in. Princess Leia senator of Alderaan. Padme was shocked her daughter could almost be the mirror image of her at that age!

Padme knew only one thing she was not going to let her die! She would save her if it was the last thing she did. But why didn't Vader guess she was his daughter, he was evidently denser then she'd thought.

Vader looked up and saw Padme watching. Padme watching him kidnap a senator as she herself had been kidnapped all those years ago. She glared at him and walked off to think of a plan. This time she was going to win.

Obi-Wan had decided there was no time to see Bail, it would only worry him. He had extracted the disk himself and was carrying it in his pocket. The droid was still following him, evidently wishing to be returned to Leia.

What Obi needed right now was a pilot and a ship. Who he could trick into taking him to the "Death Star" where he guessed Leia was being kept. The main street of Xerdon was crowded with people and he soon spotted just what he was looking for. Sat at a table were a wookiee and a tough looking star pilot who was about thirty years old. These were what Obi was looking for. He went up to them and began negotiations.

Padme paced forwards and backwards along her room; maybe she should talk to Vader again to see what she could find out.

"Let me get this straight. Your willing to pay me 20,000 to be dropped off at some space station called the "Death Star?" Asked Han Solo as though he thought Obi was crazy.

"Yes." Replied Obi bluntly. "No questions asked."

"Fine with me. Okay. You got yourself a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking bay Ninety-four. The Millennium Falcon."

Obi-Wan walked off and Han Solo turned to Chewbacca his wookiee companion.

"Twenty thousand! That guy must really be desperate. This could really save my neck. Get back to the ship and get her ready."
