A Rose In The Frost19
Anakin
sat down next to Padme and starred around the ship. At the rebel princess stood
starring at him, the wookiee and smuggler at the controls and Obi-Wan Kenobi
sat in the seat opposite observing them all. Artoo was sat in a corner he had
boarded the ship during the hail of gunfire. Leia's droid sat next to Artoo,
beeping quietly.
"What happened to Vader?" Leia asked Obi-Wan curiously.
"Anakin, Padme and I killed him." He replied truthfully.....from a
certain point of view.
"Anakin how long have you been Vader's prisoner?" Leia asked again
still puzzled.
"Nearly nineteen years." He replied looking at Padme who smiled at
him. Anakin felt his old feelings for her returning, he had no idea how he'd
lost them for so long.
"And you're my father?" Leia quizzed again.
"Yes." He replied and finally she believed him. Although she still
had hundreds of unanswered questions. But she guessed they'd have to wait.
"Sorry to interrupt the reunion but where do I drop you lot off?" Han
asked swivelling around in the pilot's chair.
"Alderaan, we've got to give the rebels these plans. There our only hope
to destroy the Empire." Leia commanded him imperiously. Han rolled his
eyes.
"Fine then princess." Leia glared at him.
Anakin's face suddenly contorted with horror!
"Don't worry," replied Obi-Wan sensing what he was about to say, "That cannon is now set safely the deserted planet of Datooine."
Anakin relaxed visibly.
Leia smiled "We might have a chance to destroy the Empire with the help of those technical read outs."
Padme on the other hand looked upset and
anxious. Eventually she muttered to her husband
"Destroy the Empire and Luke."
"Anakin, Padme are you joining the rebels with us?" Obi-Wan asked
smiling at his old friends. Anakin had his arm round Padme's waist.
"Yes." Padme agreed immediately catching Leia's eye.
"Me too." Anakin added. "I know a lot of things that could be of
use to the rebels."
"And then Leia can continue her training. With your help as well
Anakin." Obi Wan mouthed at Anakin.
Han was sat glowering at the controls, lost families, Jedi, Evil overlords,
rebels, it was all to much for him.
"Look just when do Chewwie and I get our rewards?" Han asked the
party. They all ignored him and rolled their eyes.
