Chapter 7 What is meant to be
He felt something approaching to door. It is something he hasn't felt in a long time. A warm, present feeling. It almost felt light and peaceful, something he only felt when he was with her. Who is this person behind the door, he thought. He put his hand up to open the door.
The door opens. But it wasn't opened by Padme. She backed away and engaged her lightsaber. The person on the other side too engaged his lightsaber. Padme looked at this person strangely. She looked at this person in this dark black suit. He too stared at her wondering who this masked person was. Padme looked at the masked face of this person. She felt a presence she hasn't felt in over 4 years. She lowered her light saber, and all she could udder was….
"Anakin?"
Darth Vader looked at this masked woman, he felt strange, like his dark power was somewhat weakened by the presence of her. Darth Vader sensed great Force surrounding the woman as well as goodness, and it made him feel uncomfortable that such a person can make him feel weak. He got angry over his feeling and demanded to know who this person is
"And Who are you?" he asked in a deep angry voice raising his saber.
Padme hesitated to revel herself, wondering what could happen if the Empire knew she was alive. But she had to. "My vision has brought me here and I will do what I have to do." She thought
She slowly moved closer to him. "Anakin…it's me…Padme" She said as she removed her mask.
Darth Vader was silent. He lowered his lightsaber and disengaged it. "Padme" he said softly. Padme nodded, "Yes, it me" she said moving closer. "No." Vader backed away bit. "I..I killed you" he said regretfully. "This is some sort of trick, you are not real" He denied. "Anakin, it is me. You did not kill me, I survived, I lived." She began to say, "So I can find you."
Anakin looked at her. Padme could not read Darth Vaders expressions under the mask.. She was trying to be careful of what to say, she did not know how he would react, remembering the incident on Mustafar. She continued "Search your heart and feelings Anakin and you will see that it is I, Padme.
"Padme." He said again, smiling beneath his mask. Vader began to move closer to her. He was remembering the love and the time they shared together and remembering how he felt so at peace. He reached out his hand to touch her face but then hesitated. He began to remember Mustafar and how he tried to hurt her, to strangle her to death. He put his hand down. Padme could not see his regretful face, but she could sense how he was feeling. Vader was becoming angered with what he remembered and darkness was filling him again.
The telecom interrupted. "droid pilots and troopers proceed to landing dock 3 to attack the Rebel Alliance." Vader looked at Padme and began to pace. "You and the rebels came here to attack our ship." He said in a clear angry voice. "No. Anakin…." Padme said, "Come with me…" Vader completely ignored Padme, getting upset about the Rebel situation.
He yelled at her. "Rebel scum….You came here to destroy us, but you will not defeat me" Padme was a bit shaken in Anakin's sudden change in personality, but she wasn't surprised, her thoughts returning to Mustafar. "I'm not giving up" she thought. "Anakin." She begged… "I am not Anakin, I am Darth Vader" he clearly stated. "Anakin is dead." He said coldly.
Two storm troopers ran by, Vader stopped them. "Take this rebel to Independent holding cell. No one is to touch or question her but me." The troopers grabbed both of her arms and took her away. Vader turned around and used the Force to take her light saber. Padme looked backed him, "I am not going to give up on you Anakin" She yelled as she was dragged down the hallway. "I waited to long to give upnow" her words echoed in the corridor.
Vader looked on, and then bowed his head. "Padme." He thought. Vader did not know what to think. The darkness within him confused his thoughts and always clouded his feelings. "There is no Anakin in this body anymore." He said sadly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on the landing docks, the Rebels debate whether to leave or stay for Padme.
"General. More troops are being called to the landing dock. They assume there are more of us." The pilot said. "I can't leave Padme here…Maybe I should stay and.." Obi began to say. "No, where are you going to run and hide, there are troops everywhere' Aayla said trying to get the General back to reality.
Obi-wan began to sense a presence. One he hadn't felt in a while. "He's here." He thought.
Padme at this time being hauled away mentally communicated to Obi-Wan. "I will be alright Obi, get the team out." She said. "Padme?" He communicates back.
General!..We have to leave now or we will loose the shield on the shuttle." The pilot insisted. "Alright! Punch it, let's go" He said. "Padme, we'll come back for you…may the force protect you." Obi said sadly but hopefully.
The Imperial shuttle flew out the Destroyer. The empire starfighters flew out and began to fire on the shuttle, but the Rebel flight team on stand by provided coverage. As they headed back to base on Alderaan they hope the mission would prove useful at the expense of an important lost comrade.
