Padme's training in the darkside was to begin the next day. Anakin seemed jubilant to be instructing Padme. The first of her lessons was to use anger and other emotions as a tool, and not to fear them. He seemed such an expert at what he was saying, but Padme was still reluctant to truly heed his words. She still feared to emerse herself into the dark arts .
Anakin could sense that Padme was not into the lessons. He could tell how reluctant she was to let anger flow as the darkside helped to do. If only something could get her angry enough to want such dark power, he thought one night . He glanced across the bed at Padme. She looked so innocent. What would it take...
It happened a week into her training. On Padme's home planet of Naboo, she and Anakin were visiting the retreat in the hills. They say rebel operatives had attempted a bombing on the retreat in an attempt to kill Vader, but had missed and hit Theed. All of Padme's friends were killed in the explosion, but what truly hurt her was the loss of her parents and her sister, Sola. That night, after she had heard of the bombing, Padme lay awake in her bed, burning with hatred for the rebellion. Anakin saw this as the perfect oppurtunity. He found Padme crying herself dry.
" I hate the rebel scum," she weeped," All of them. I want them all dead for what they did."
" I can help." Anakin sat down next to her," Remember my lessons. Anger is a weapon. Let it fuel you. Let hatred become a weapon. This is what it truly means to join the darkside. If you accept anger and hatred, we can together become a power that no rebel scum can overcome. Just pledge yourself a Sith and we will destroy the rebels once and for all!"
Padme was ready to try anything." I do, Ani, oh please. Help me. I can't sleep knowing my family's murderers live."
Anakin rose. " Good. Now, do you pledge yourself you serve the darkside of the force.
Padme knelt down. " I do."
He grinned." Than I name you, Padme Amidala, Darth Kedaress."
Padme, now Darth Kedaress, rose up. She no longer bore the innocence of Amidala, but the same aura of foreboding as her husband . In her eyes was a rage that surprised even the Dark Lord of the Sith, himself. " Come with me, Padme," he said. " We have much work to do if we plan to destroy the rebels soon."
Kedaress rose. " As far as the other officers know, Padme Amidala is dead. Kedaress lives in her place." The two Sith walked towards the forward balcony of the Star Destroyer."
