"Milady, please, wake up. It's time to eat breakfast." It was Bruu.
Sometimes Padme felt like a child. She had to be woken up when she didn't want to be, she was fed when they wanted her to be fed. It was odd. She felt that she had no freedom whatsoever. But the food on the plate smelled delicious. She couldn't help fight the growing temptation in her stomach. It gave a loud growl. They started laughing.
"Well I guess my stomach feels the same way too, Bruu." She said as she smiled to the servant. She received a warm grin in return.
"I hope you enjoy the food, Milady. I feel you are getting rather too thin for my liking," as Bruu scanned the former senator's body. "Afterwards, the council would like to see you. They have something very important to discuss, and that was all they told me."
Padme nodded. She really did hate going to the council meetings because every time she went, the "important " news was always bad news. She sighed…
Padme dressed slowly into a blue, conservative dress that was lying on the bed when she came back from the fresher. She once again felt that she was being treated as a child. She couldn't even pick her own clothes… But it didn't matter. There was no one there to impress since Anakin was gone.
"Oh stop it. Stop thinking about him," and quickly scolded herself for being so clingy to someone who probably didn't even love her anymore. But she felt that she was mostly just trying to convince herself of these injustices…
"He has to love me." Then why is he trying to hunt you down and kill you?
"Senator Amidala, the Council wishes to discuss something with you."
Obviously, she thought. That's why I'm here.
"Darth Vader has notified us that he knows you are here and that he will make a compromise with us. He has taken captive three of our men and four of the little ones. He has also made clear that if we hand you over to him, he will return the Jedi and the padawans safely back. But if we keep you here, he will kill them all, and will then attack this planet. We have asked you here because we have decided that it is your decision on the outcome of this situation."
Padme thought about it but she already knew well in her heart and mind the answer.
"I would like to inform the council on my decision…." she began. "I have decided that I will hand myself over to Darth Vader."
Author: Ooh i wonder what will happen next. grins mischieviously. You're all lucky that there aren't any cliffhangers in this story. I wrote this all at once so you don't have to wait for updates. Quite frankly, i hate reading stories and then having to wait for what comes next, and then alot of times the people dont even finish writing the stories. You're lucky I'm so considerate.
