Author's Note: The ending is a little rushed because I was in hurry to get this up before work. But I promise to make it up in the next chapter.

Chapter Twenty-Six:

Bespin…

Waiting in a private meeting room was a woman with dark red hair. She sighed worriedly. It had been almost sixteen years since she had first met the two men she was waiting for. After that meeting so long ago, she had changed her ways, but hid it from her master. And she had hid it very well.

She had always known that they might ask for her help someday. They had spared her life when she had intended on destroying two in the first place. Now they had come to her in a time of need and possibly they could also help her in return. She desperately needed their help.

The doors to the meeting room opened and in walked two older figures from her past – Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Kelista Jade stood up and greeted the two Jedi. "It has been too long," she simply said.

Obi-Wan nodded in agreement as the trio sat back down. "We called you here because we need your help."

"What's that?" she asked.

"My son and daughter were both taken from me by Darth Etrak. We have no idea where they are and since you are still deeply involved as an Emperor's Hand, we are requesting your help." Anakin somberly said.

"In return will you both help me?"

Obi-Wan and Anakin looked at her in shock. "What is it?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I haven't seen my daughter, Mara, since she was three. That is one of the ways that Palpatine is able to control me – he says that he will help me find her, but I've given up hope. It's been almost 19 years since I've seen her. I've searched the galaxy over and over to find her, but have come up with nothing."

Anakin looked at her, sensing her despair. "We'll help you as soon as all of this is taken care of," he said. Kelista agreed with that.

"So where are we going to go now?" Han asked as Anakin and Obi-Wan returned to the quarters that they were staying in.

"Well Alderaan isn't safe." Obi-Wan said,

"Neither is Tatooine." Anakin added. "And we need to be someplace that Kelista can contact us easily."

"Your contact was her! She tried to kidnap Luke and Leia once before!" Padmé protested.

"But she changed, angel." Anakin said taking his wife in his arms. "And for the better."

Padmé sighed. She hoped that this plan worked. "What about going back to Naboo? I know that the Empire hasn't done much with that planet since the republic fell. And the Gungans would hide us," she suggested.

"That's a thought. But let's see if Kelista come up with anything in the next day or so…" Obi-Wan said.

Storm troopers had come and taken Luke away from his sister and cousin. Alyssa had to be held back by Leia, when Luke was dragged out of the cell. Over the past few days, Luke had taught Leia simply things to do through the Force. And once she had started learning, the twins discovered that they shared a strong bond – stronger then the bond that Luke shared with their father.

'Leia take care of Alyssa,' Luke said to Leia as he was taken from them.

Leia didn't respond but hugged Alyssa tightly. She was just as scared as Alyssa was. What were they going to do with her brother?
