"Padme!"

She had just come back from the funeral and was now standing inside the bedroom of her apartment. She was just about to change into her normal attire when she was suddenly being called out for by an out of breath Wengo.

"What's wrong?" she said with a startled expression. His face was a pure, ghostly white that was contorted with worry and urgency, and his tone of voice was beginning to scare her.

His eyes were beginning to bulge out from their sockets and as he grabbed her shoulders rather tightly, she could feel how stiff and cold they were with sweat. He began to shake her as he commenced speaking.

"Padme, Padme, you won't believe this. I had just returned from training with Master Leywill when I spotted Guil walking along the corridor. I was just about to walk over to her and greet her when she stopped to speak to the Chancellor." His speech was slurred due to his exigency to repeat the encounter, but none the less, Padme could feel that this happening was going to be extremely significant. His grip on her tightened as he continued on.

"Palpatine began to speak to her, saying 'Was the trip successful?' and I knew that this trip was to Tatooine with Anakin on the quest for his mother, so I suddenly became curious to hear the rest of the conversation, thus leaving me to hide behind a pillar close enough that I might hear what they were saying in detail. Guil answered him with a yes, and then added, 'Anakin has agreed to join you, Master.'"

"Master?" said Padme with surprise. Why would Guil call the Supreme Chancellor 'Master'? Her Master was Jlkio, a friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and why was Anakin included in that sentence? Her heart started thumping rapidly…

"Yes, Padme, Master. I was confused as well when I heard her say those words, but all my questions were answered later on. Palpatine then stated, 'Finally, the Sith will rise again. You have done well, my apprentice. We will not wait any much longer before our goals will be reached.' Then he made this smile, this evil contorted smile. Guil started saying, 'When shall we begin our training?' She was answered with a 'Soon enough, Darth Shonah.'"

Padme couldn't speak.

"Padme do you realize what I had just encountered? We have found the Sith Lord. He's been under our nose the whole time! Darth Shonah, Padme! That's why they've been acting so different! They're the apprentices of the Chancellor and they're going to bring the Siths back!"

"Wengo…" but she was cut off.

"Padme, wait. He saw me."

"WHAT?" She thought she couldn't be anymore surprised, but this topped it off.

"After I heard this piece of information, I turned to peak out from my hiding place, and as I did so, I believe he sensed me and he turned his head and looked right at me, eye to eye. But he didn't say anything, only grinned and turned back around to look at Darth Shonah. Afterwards I left as quietly as possible and tried to reach you."

Suddenly, something dawned in Padme's mind.

"Wengo you're in danger! You need to go tell the Council about this or something, other why's he might find reason to kill you, to get you out of the way and from telling everybody his secret identity! GO!"

Wengo let go and left the room in a sprint.

Padme stood in the middle of her bedroom dumbfounded. She couldn't what had just reached her ears, the fact that the Chancellor was the Sith Lord, the fact that Anakin was his apprentice, along with Guil. Anakin! He was a Sith.

So that's why they went to talk to Palpatine during the funeral, that's why they were acting out of character. Then she thought of the risk Wengo had taken to hear that informative conversation.

His life is in jeopardy…

Wengo ran to the Council Hall, but was met by nobody. He suddenly remembered that they were still at the funeral. He hurried down the hall that led outside. He was on autopilot, not thinking, just running…running for his life.

Suddenly something hit him, something that kept him from moving any further. It was as if a solid wall had collided with him; he could see the end of the corridor, yet something unyielding kept him from reaching it. Wengo heard footsteps behind him. There was more then one person, he knew that. He looked around him, for he knew he would need help or else he would be dead before today, yet the passage was empty, except for those footsteps…

"So you thought you would tell the Council did you?" It was Palpatine, naturally.

Wengo turned around. He saw the Chancellor, Anakin …and Guil. The two looked as if they were in some kind of trance, but the look in they're eyes were that of bloodthirsty killers.

Guil. He was saddened and troubled for her…of all the people…

"Palpatine, the Council will be here, they will sense this, and they'll come and kill you, ending the Sith once and for all." He said this with as much confidence as he could muster, but in truth, his assurance and coolness were deteriorating away with each passing second.

"Silly fool, those idiot Jedi can't kill me, now that these two Sith, who will soon be stronger together than any living thing in this universe, are by my side." He turned to them. "Now kill him."

Anakin had already taken his lightsaber out of its place and the blue buzzing light began to wave back and forth as he walked towards Wengo. Wengo too took out his lightsaber but it was a pitiful act as the Sith Lord easily pulled into the Force and unarmed Wengo, throwing the lightsaber far beyond his reach.

"Anakin, don't! I'm you friend, you know this! Don't let the Dark side pull you in!" Wengo made desperate pleas to save his life.

Anakin could feel the anger and hate within him begin to bubble to dangerous points. He hated Wengo for taking Padme. He hated him for backstabbing him…

"Yes, Anakin," said Darth Sidious in the background, "Use your negativity to make you stronger." He urged him on with approval.

Anakin was only a couple strides away from Wengo, and it was only a matter of time before the lightsaber reached its destination point.

Meanwhile, there was a struggle going within Guil's body. She was trying her best to fight the Dark within her, and Wengo was enough for her to do so. She had to help him, her mind was telling her to do so, but her body was defeating it.

The four then heard a pair of footsteps running down the hallway. Wengo's heart leaped, he knew he was saved. The Council has come to save me. They all turned, and instead of Masters Yoda and Windu, whom they were all expecting to see, they saw the brown head of the Senator, rather.

"Anakin, STOP!" But Padme's yells fell on deaf ears. She was worried that something bad would happen to Wengo on his way to tell the Council, and her fear was right. There was nothing much she could do though; she was a Senator, not a Jedi. She felt useless…

Wengo knew this, and he had given up on any hope that he would live. Rapidly, he felt the need to tell Guil how much he loved her.

This is it, he's going to kill me, yet all I can think about is her…

His thoughts were interrupted when he found Guil kneeling in front of him with her own green lightsaber buzzing across her face.

"Anakin, I will not let you kill him!"

"Guil, get out of the way, or I will kill you as well! We cannot have him live as a threat to the Sith! Guil I don't want to kill you, so get out of the way!"

"Anakin!" She was crying heavily now, along with Padme. "Anakin what are you doing? WE JOINED PALPATINE SO THAT WE COULD LEARN TO SAVE LIVES! Not kill! This wasn't what we were supposed to do, what was supposed to happen!"

There was what seemed to be a slight waver in Anakin's stature and he looked as if he would retreat from his duty, but instead he grabbed his lightsaber only tighter and was about to come in contact with both Guil and Wengo when suddenly, Darth Sidious pulled into the Force once more and shoved Guil aside, leaving the lightsaber to come in contact with only Wengo.

As soon as this happened, Anakin could feel a stabbing in his heart and felt his former self drifting away. All that was left was this evil being, full of hatred, this Darth Vader.

He heard wailing, but all became a blur as if it was all a dream. He heard Palpatine tug at him to tell him to go and they began to walk out of the corridor. He passed Guil and could hear her screaming in agony...

"You have done well my apprentice. Now we must leave, say goodbye to this life."

Guil felt as if she was petrified. Wengo was dead, dead in front of her. She could not move towards him, to kiss him one last time, to tell him how much she really cared for him.

Padme's touch on her shoulder was left unnoticed, so she began to speak into her ear. "Guil, I'm so sorry…"

"Why did he let me live…"she said in a whisper.

Her tears had ended, for there were no more to give. She had cried so much already, and now she was empty. She couldn't feel anymore, she didn't want to feel, she just wanted to be finished with all this. She didn't feel hate for Anakin, nor a strong urgency to avenge her love's death like some people would; rather, she just felt like water; clear nothingness. She guessed it was because she had been through so much already, and now there was nothing left. Anakin had just taken away the part of her that made her want to live, gave her hope when there was nothing else. Now that he was gone, so was everything that meant anything. There was nothing left.

Padme began to hold her, trying to comfort her in some way. She felt bad, because she was more moved about Anakin's transformation to the Dark side rather then the death of the person whom she "claimed" to love. She didn't feel anything for Wengo…and she was ashamed to acknowledge it. Her mind was on Anakin.

What happened?…She replayed what she had just saw, the Anakin that was so dissimilar, the one who was the exact opposite of the one she had met yet again not too long ago. There was such a turn of character, in them both…Anakin had just killed his best friend, and was about to kill Guil, and he didn't even seem to feel hesitant about what he was about to do. This couldn't be Anakin. It couldn't be…But what could she say to Guil, what could she say to take the sting away from her heart?

"Wengo loved you, Guil. Very much."
