My Frozen Heart3

Author's Note: No Padme doesn't love Anakin/Vader but she still has some feelings for him.

Obi Wan exhaled deeply, although he had been expecting this, question he didn't exactly relish having to answer it. Finally however he replied.

"Vader is the most feared human in the galaxy. He has destroyed democracy and freedom, he is a monster."

Padme shuddered as Obi spoke, and turned her head away from him. Facing the wall she stated sadly "Its all my fault, I shouldn't have let him love me." She turned to face Obi again, her face full of guilt and pain.

  Meeting her eyes however, Obi shuck his head.

"Its not your fault Padme, you could blame so many people, Qui Gon for finding him, me for training him, the council for humouring him and Palpatine for corrupting him. But in reality its no-ones fault but Anakin's. He let himself be seduced to the Dark Side, he lost control of his own soul."

Still looking distressed Padme nodded. "Your right Obi Wan, besides without Anakin, I wouldn't have Leia and Luke."

"And they, could well be the galaxy's only hope against the empire's reign of evil and repression." Obi announced matter of factly.

Padme looked slightly shocked and angry. "What do you mean only hope? They don't even know their real identities let alone heritage!"

Obi Wan, Padme noticed with astonishment was smiling! Slowly and carefully he replied.

"Their mother was one of the most politically brilliant and honest senators ever. Their father is the most powerful and terrible Jedi ever.  If I train them in the force, they might be able to confront Anakin and bring him back to the light side."

But Padme's brain was working down a different path. Something Obi had said had triggered alarm bells in her head. "Obi Wan, you just called Lord Vader the most powerful Jedi ever. But surely his master Sidious is far more powerful?"

Obi Wan gave Padme a quick, puzzled look "Of course!" He said slowly, "You don't know." Understanding was dawning in his eyes.

"I don't know what?" Padme asked, a sudden desperate curiosity controlling  her.

"You don't know that Darth Vader murdered lord Sidious seventeen years ago!"

(A/N He, he bet you weren't expecting that. I hope you enjoyed this chapter the next is from Vader's POV.)
