Chapter Fourteen
Black Roses
I hold unto you my life. Do you see I need you? I think of the way you kissed me, and it was then that I knew I loved you.
"No! Absolutely not!" Obi-wan yelled.
I turned to him, "The prophecy said this was going to happen. What is the point in denying it?"
"A point, she makes," Yoda said. "Deliberate, we will."
I nodded and, Obi-wan and I walked out. "I can't believe this!" he shouted.
"Calm down Obi-wan. We love each other, and we would die without each other," I said.
He looked at me, "You're too young to know what love is."
"And you do. Obi-wan you are a Jedi. I know for a fact you have never been in love. At least not as many times as I was, or thought I was." I said correcting myself.
Three hours passed, since they shut me out. "You may come in," Ki Adi Mundi said opening the door.
"Thank you," I stood in the middle of the floor not knowing the verdict. It felt like I was in court, and I was getting sentenced.
"Lady Master Jedi, we have decided on the matter that concerns you," Mace said. The door to the council chambers opened, and Anakin walked in.
"Annie!" I ran up to him, and kissed him.
Mace looked stern, "As I was saying our decision only consists of you two. The reason we have made our decision is because we saw this coming, and there is no use in stopping it now. Padawan Anakin Skywalker, Lady Jedi Master November Lee we have decided that you two shall be married a month from now."
I looked over at Anakin, and squealed with happiness. I hugged him tightly and he turned me around all princess- like. I was getting married to man I was sure would love me.
! A MONTH FROM THEN
I was waiting in a little room in the lake house of Naboo with Obi-wan and Padme. "I'm so nervous," I said ringing my hands.
"Don't be. I'm so happy for you," Padme said putting my hair in a ballerina bun, and then attaching my vale.
I looked at my self in the mirror. I had a long flowing dress with a corset top. It was sleeveless and fit my bodice perfectly. The train was long, and at the bottom it had black vines and roses winding up to the top, and spreading out as it did. My vale came down below my butt area.
"Here you go," Padme said handing me my bouquet. It was made of black and white roses. My make up was entrancing. The eye shadow was black and white, and wound out past the corners of my eyes. I had a type of lip-gloss substance on my lips that made them shiny.
"I still don't like the idea of you two getting married," Obi-wan said.
I looked over at him and smiled, "Oh Obi-wan! Are you feeling left out? But you get to be my brother in law."
"I do?" he asked. I shook my head. "Yes."
I laughed at him.
I was standing at the end of the aisle now. Obi-wan had his hand on my arm ready to give me away. The music started to play and everybody stood up. Obi-wan and I started to walk down the aisle. Padme already stood at the end waiting for me as a maid of honor. I then saw Anakin fully suited in his Jedi garb. He looked so handsome.
When we reached the end, Obi-wan gave me away, and I mouthed I love you to Anakin and he mouthed it back. We just stood there mesmerized in each other's gaze.
When it came time for the vows I had my own. "Anakin," I began. "I know that I couldn't live without you. There is a saying in my world and it goes her yes once said to you shall be yes forever more. It is the same thing for me. I will always love you. You were my prince charming rescuing me from the life I had before. You took a battered girl, and turned her into a loved woman. But if I was without you then that day and everyday following I could see my world crash down. You're in my very soul tormenting me. Now I know that falling in love is like having a bomb dropped on you, and love story like ours belongs in the pages of a novel. I wouldn't ask for a better partner in life but you."
"Rose, it is impossible for me to walk away because my world would fall to pieces, and the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it, and I did. I don't regret it for one second. I'll never let you go for as long as I live, and the truth is I've never fallen so hard. It hurts to breathe when I'm around you, and thinking of not being with you hurts me even more. I want to be your prince charming coming to your rescue, and I never really smiled until you came along. I know I will never be the same way I was before you loved me, you have changed my world, my life, and me forever. Thank you, Rose," he said.
The preacher finished, and we finally got to kiss. I felt him in me, and around me. He was apart of me, apart of my heart, and I didn't mind any part of it.
! A WEEK AFTER THE WEDDING
People say you live like your life. Before I came I was on open or closed life, so I was open to some but closed to others. Until I met Anakin. He opened me up all the way, and now I'm free from everything I was running from. I lived a life of slavery, but now I live a life of love and freedom. Now I know who I am. I am a lady jedi, and I am a wife of the chosen one. Now I know I am almost complete. All I need is what I know will kill me.
A/N: Beware of the sequel. Hop you enjoy.
