Chapter 3: The Beginning of the Search
A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Please keep reading. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Vader woke up the next day. He put his sith cloak back on, and walked down the hall. As he got to the front of the ship, an imperial officer came up to him.
"We have not found any data on either Padme Skywalker, Leia Skywalker, or Luke Skywalker," the imperial said as he shivered, afraid that Vader would kill him since he'd brought bad news.
Although this was only Vader's second day being the sith master, the whole imperial fleet was already afraid of him, since he was able to kill Palpatine. Vader turned to the man, obviously making the man even more scared.
"Prepare my ship. I will search for them myself," he said.
The imperial turned his heel, and rushed out of the front room to prepare Vader's ship.

Vader's ship was black in the front, and faded into sleek silver going toward the back of the ship. The glass that was above the cockpit blended into the silver color, which made it look as if there was none.
Vader boarded his ship, and shot out of the Star Destroyer. The first planet he would look for Padme on was Naboo. He knew it was a slim chance that she would be on there, but he wanted to be absolutely sure.
As Vader landed on the beautiful planet of Naboo, he cleared his mind. He searched for any signs of a force strong person on Naboo. He did feel it, but it seemed much closer than he expected.
He hopped out of the cockpit, leaving his ship there. His ship had a strong security to it. Vader himself had to put his hand on a DNA processor. It would either accept or deny. If it was accepted, the door would open, if not, it would remain sealed.
He walked around, and went in all directions, until he walked east. When he did, he noticed that the force started to get stronger, meaning that he was getting closer to the force strong person.
When he focused more on it, actually, there were 2 force strong people. He continued down the path. He thought about if it was Padme and Leia. He had felt that Padme herself was force strong ever since he had married her, but never really got around to telling her, let alone training her.
If it wasn't Padme, he would just take the person, or 2 people, as his apprentice or apprentices. There had never been anyone who had taken 2 apprentices at once, it was against both sith rules and jedi rules, but Vader had never been one to follow rules. He grinned as he thought about it.
He saw a house, and as he approached it, he was absolutely sure that it was Padme and Leia in there, but where was Luke? He would ask. He might not get an answer, but then again, everyone feared Vader, even when he was an apprentice, so she would most likely go ahead and tell him. If not, he would have to use a mind trick on Padme, but frowned, because he didn't want to have to do that.
He knocked on the door, and Padme answered. When she saw who it was, she completely froze. What was she supposed to do.
"Don't be so scared Padme. I'm not here to hurt you, or Leia," said Vader.
That didn't exactly comfort Padme, and she wondered how he had known about Leia. But, in some way, she was glad that he was here, although she was still scared out of her wits. Maybe he hadn't come here to hurt her, but Padme had never been the most trusting person. Especially since Anakin left her before she had the twins.
Vader walked into the house. Padme finally got up enough courage to ask him something.
"Why are you here?" asked Padme softly, still scared. She was so scared that the question was barely over a whisper.
"I am here to take you and Leia with me," said Vader. He continued, "Where is Leia?"
He really had no need to ask her that. He just simply walked up the stairs, and saw a door. He felt Leia inside the room. He opened the door. Leia was only 5, so she was still taking a nap. Vader gently scooped her up in his arms. Padme was surprised at how gently he held her.
Vader didn't really give her a choice since she was too afraid to come close enough to him to take Leia back, as Vader walked out to his ship, though, Padme refused to let Vader be with Leia alone, so she followed him to his ship.

Inside Vader's ship, Vader asked Padme where Luke was.
"Where is Luke?" he asked.
He gazed at Padme with his cold blue eyes, trying to make it where she was going to answer him.
"H-He's on T-Tatooine," she said, forcing herself to tell him, no matter how much she didn't want to. She was scared that he might threaten to hurt Leia or something.
"Thank you for not making me have to ask twice," said Vader, although Padme knew he meant something else by that.
She had been surprised he had said thank you. He had hardly ever said anything nice, like sorry or thank you or please, or anything else that would be based on manners.
The ship rose slowly, and shot forward, toward the desert wasteland planet of Tatooine.
