Chapter 10: Scared
A/N: Sorry for not updating in so long. A virus hit my computer. Then, Word was dead, so I had to wait until we got Word installed again. Anyway, I have been writing the different chapters on paper, so I can copy them on word, and upload them, so there will be a lot of updates today and tomorrow.
"Josrè, would you go get Padmè?" asked Vader, although it was more of a command than a question.
Josrè, another servant, nodded, and headed up the stairs.

Padmè put on a pair of tight black pants. She then put on a long sleeved loose red shirt. When she heard a knock on the door, she headed to the door and opened it. It was a woman with long curly blonde hair.
"Master Vader would like to see you," said Josrè.
Padmè nodded, and followed Josrè down the stairs. She guessed that Josrè was another servant, since she referred to Vader as Master Vader. When they got to the bottom floor, she saw Vader. Josrè bowed, and left the room.
"Come with me," Vader said.
Vader took Padmè's hand, and led her all the way up to the tenth floor. He led her down the hall to a large door. He opened it, and another door was there. He opened it, too. Then there was a long hallway, and another door, which quietly slid open. There was a large room with no windows. Padmè couldn't hear anything. It was completely quiet. If someone were to drop a tiny pin, she would be able to hear it very distinctly.
"This is my meditation room. It has thick walls, and the door to the rest of the castle is more than fifty feet away. That makes it so it's very quiet, so it's easy to meditate. Sit down," Vader said.
Padmè did, and Vader sat behind her. He slipped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Clear your mind," said Vader simply.
Padmè tried, and said, "I can't."
"Don't ever say you can't," Vader said sharply, scaring Padmè.
"An easy way to do it is to focus on one thing, and forget about everything else. Then, once you've done so, forget about that one thing," Vader said calmly, as if he had never snapped at Padmè.
Padmè thought about Luke and Leia. Everything else drifted out of her mind. When she let Luke and Leia drift out of her mind, the other thoughts started flooding back in. Then, they just simply stopped. She didn't know it, but Vader was helping her by blocking the thoughts from coming back in.
Then Vader quietly let go of Padmè. Since her mind was cleared, she didn't notice.

Five hours later, Padmè opened her eyes with a jerk, and her thoughts rushed back in. She looked around frantically, scared. She ran from the room, looking for Vader.
She found him, and without thinking, she wrapped her arms around him tightly. Vader felt his shoulder getting a little wet. He looked down at Padmè. She was crying on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" asked Vader in a surprisingly concerned voice. He had never seen her like this, except for the night he left her.
"I.I sa-saw the f-f-future wh-while I was m-med-meditating," she said, shaking.
"Calm down and tell me what you saw," Vader said in the same concerned voice.
"So-S-Someone's c-coming. Th-tey.they w-want t-to hurt me. And wh-what's ev-even w-worse is th-they wa-want to k-kill L- Lu-Lu-Luke and L-Leia," she managed to get out, still shaking and sobbing hard.
"WHAT!?" Vader yelled.
He embraced Padmè hard, and kissed her a couple of times to calm her down.
"Whoever will even try to hurt them, or you, will pay," he hissed, igniting his bright red lightsaber.
