Disclaimer and Author's Note: Star Wars isn't mine. Well I revised the story and such, but then I started working on another Anakin redemption fic. I'm a sucker. I really am. Well enjoy this story! And to Padawan Sydney Bristow: I find time to write while I am at work on my breaks/lunch and my free time at home. Also I suffer from insomnia, that's why there are a lot of early morning postings! Thanks to all those that review! Keep them coming!
Chapter Sixteen:
Anakin was nervous. Going to Borealis would put him very close to Imperial Center. And that was the last place that he wanted to be anywhere close to. He hoped that the Emperor wouldn't be able to feel him through the Force.
"It will be alright Anakin." Obi-Wan quietly said.
Anakin turned to his friend and smiled wearily. Obi-Wan had always been good at sensing his feelings. "I know master. I'm also worried about Padmé and the twins. I haven't left their sides for more then a few hours at a time. And who knows how long it will be before I will be with them again."
"We shouldn't be long. Right now, everything is just getting situated. I think that the leadership at least wants us to make an appearance to prove that the remaining Jedi are still on their side."
The words 'remaining Jedi' stung Anakin deeply. It was because of him that most of them died. Him and the sadistic Emperor. But that was in the past. And hopefully Yoda had made it clear that Anakin was now on the side of the newly forming Rebellion.
As the star lines of hyperspace faded from view and normal space surrounded them, Anakin sighed deeply. He hoped that everything was all right with Padmé and the twins.
"A region of black holes is a very smart place to put an unknown fleet," Sabé said as she, Padmé, the twins and Master Yoda grew closer to the new Rebellion fleet located in the Maw Cluster.
"Agreed. Presence of Force is warped here." Yoda commented.
Padmé sighed deeply as she held Luke and Leia close to her. She was beginning to feel very uneasy for some reason. It was probably due to the fact that Anakin was very adamant about having a bad feeling about being separated. She knew that when Anakin said something like that, he was usually right. She couldn't wait until her family was together again.
"Search for this hidden fleet. Find it and you find the Skywalker children. Kidnap them and bring them to me," the Emperor said to the young woman kneeling before him. Standing next to him was Darth Etrak stood.
"What about their father?" she asked.
"He is not with them. We will deal with him later. Kill whoever tries to get in your way."
"Yes my Lord," the young woman said standing up.
"Do not fail me. Or it will be the last mistake you ever make."
Again Kelista nodded to the Emperor then looked up at Etrak. He just starred her down. She could literally feel his eyes burning through her. She could feel that he was darker then Darth Vader had ever been. Even if she was an Emperor's Hand, a deadly assassin, she still knew pure evil when she felt it.
Kelista turned and left the Emperor's chamber.
"Do you think she will be successful, Master?" Etrak asked.
"She's my best Hand. I know so. Soon the Skywalker children will be under my control."
