I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS!
If I Could Change Our Fate
Summary: AU: During ROTS. Padme has visions of the future and her and Anakin's fate. She decides to change it, if she can. Book 1 of 2: What If?
Chapter 8: Finally Over
(Padme's POV)
My thoughts were interrupted by the heavy foot steps of armies. Anakin led them all, but at the sight of me, he stopped. He went deadly pale.
"Padme…"
"Anakin!" I wanted to run to him, I missed him, so much. I bit back tears.
"You're alive… Padme…" He came a little closer to me.
"Anakin…"
"Palpatine! He lied to me!"
"I know Anakin, so stop; stop now while you still can."
"I'm going to kill him!"
"No Anakin! Killing someone will only make you more prone to the dark side, don't let your anger take over you."
Somehow, suddenly, he was in my arms, his head resting on mine, tears running down his face. It ran into my hair, then down and rolled onto my own tear stained cheeks.
"I thought I'd lost you."
"You'll never lose me Ani, I'm always here, I've always have."
"I have to go find him." Anakin's head shot up as he pulled away from me.
"No Ani, please, you don't have too."
"But he lied to me! And he will not get away with it!" Before I could say anymore, he was already gone.
He had been Darth Vader for only an hour and I had brought him back. He was Anakin again, my Ani-
No wait, he wasn't my Ani, he was going to kill a sith lord! What the heck was I talking about? I stopped in my tracks and raced after him.
He might get killed. I didn't even hear Obi-Wan running after me.
(Anakin's POV)
I stopped in my tracks as I saw her standing in front of me. I wanted to slap myself to make sure she was really alive!
"Padme…"
"Anakin." She sounded like she had missed me forever, but she didn't come running towards me.
"You're alive… Padme…" I took a couple steps closer to her.
"Anakin…" She didn't move.
Anger took over me. "Palpatine! He lied to me!"
"I know Anakin, so stop; stop now while you still can."
"I'm going to kill him!" I shouted and she frowned.
"No Anakin! Killing someone will only make you more prone to the dark side, don't let your anger take over you."
And then I took her in my arms. Hugging her to death, I never ever wanted to let her go. I rested my head upon hers and smiled. Tears of joy and relief ran down my face and rolled down through her hair and on to her own tear stained face.
"I thought I'd lost you." I told her and I felt her shake her head.
"You'll never lose me Ani, I'm always here, I've always have." It was funny how those simple words meant so much to me.
"I have to go find him." I suddenly said and my head shot up from hers. I pulled back from her. She looked confused.
"No Ani, please, you don't have too."
"But he lied to me! And he will not get away with it!"
I ran from her, she didn't even try to stop me. I had to take my anger out of Palpatine. He had lied to me and he was going to pay. I was going to finally kill a sith lord.
She was alive, my angel was alive. I kept thinking that as I ran past all the clone troopers. They turned their heads, but didn't say anything.
"Stay here!" I commanded and they nodded. I bolted towards Lord Sidious office, he was going to pay.
(Padme's POV)
I kept running after him, I didn't want him to get hurt. Obi-Wan was trailing after me, trying to keep hidden. I knew that if I was in trouble, he was going to go in and try to keep anything that would hurt me away.
How had this all happened? Was it because of the visions of the future? Because of the babies? Because of Obi-Wan? Because of Sidious? Because of me?
The last one sounded right, it was all because of me. It was all my fault.
(Anakin's POV)
I raced into Sidious office, making sure I had my light saber at my waist.
"Anakin!" Padme screamed helplessly, but I didn't stop to look back at her.
"Anakin!" She screamed again, it was faint. There was one last scream, but I was too far away to hear it.
(Padme's POV)
I stopped to catch my breath, panting I screamed helplessly.
"Anakin!" I shouted, but he didn't stop and turn around like I thought he would. He just kept running and running and running. I bent over.
Once I had steadied myself, I yelled once more, trying to get his attention.
"Anakin!" He was getting farther and farther.
"Anakin!" I screamed as loud as I could, but already he was a speck in the distance.
(Anakin's POV)
I threw open the doors to Sidious office as he turned around to face me.
"Ahhh Vader, I see you've finished your job early."
"You!" I spat out bitterly. "YOU LIED!"
"I lied? About what?" Sidious laughed wickedly, he had known about this all along!
"You lied to me about everything!"
"Oh Vader, you thought a couple little lies are hurtful? You're weaker then I thought!"
"Don't you ever call me Vader again!" I shouted at him and lunged at him.
"Now, now, now! I didn't do anything wrong." He had taken some steps backwards towards the windows.
"Yes you did! You lied to me about Padme being dead! You lied to me about bring back somebody that wasn't even dead!" I readied my light saber.
"You're aren't going to try to kill me with that are you?"
"Maybe." I answered and took a couple steps forward.
"Never mess with a sith lord!" He took out his light saber and the battle began.
(Padme's POV)
I ran towards Sidious office, sensing that Anakin was inside. But before I even got to the door way, Obi-Wan stopped me.
"Padme!"
"Obi-Wan, I have to go in there." He stepped in my way.
"I should go in there first." I sighed in defeat and let Obi-Wan walk in the room first.
I gasped at what was in front of me; Anakin was slouched against the wall panting as Sidious body lay at his feet. I could tell he was going to pass out, so I ran to him, ignoring Obi-Wan's words.
"Ani!" I knelt besides him. He was holding his arm that was bleeding. His crystal blue eyes looked up at my, and a slight smile washed over his face.
"Padme…"
"I'm here Ani; I'll always be here… What happened?" He just simple smiled at me and said.
"It's over Pad, it's finally over."
His head fell to my lap as his eyes close. I ran my fingers through his hair and it was then that I knew that I had changed our fate.
(Anakin's POV)
"You aren't going to kill me are you?" Sidious questioned as I held my light saber to his throat.
His own light saber had been flung over to the wall; I was surprised when he didn't use the force to bring it back to him.
I thought for a second… Was I going to kill him?
"Are you going to kill me Anakin?"
"It's not the Jedi way." I answered and began to lower my light saber. Sidious laughed and that's when I brought my light saber back up.
"Do it Anakin."
"I will do what I must."
"I knew you were always a sith at heart." That's when I snapped.
"I will never be a sith Sidious! You failed your highness, I'm a Jedi! Always have been and always will be."
I quickly slashed Sidious in the heart, not even caring that he was screaming out in agony. Why had he let me win?
I slumped against the wall and held my bleeding arm that he had slashed during the battle. Sidious body fell to my feet, his eyes rolling upwards.
I heard muffled words as the doors flew open to reveal Obi-Wan and Padme right behind him. I felt dizzy, they were talking, Obi-Wan was screaming something as Padme ran towards me.
"Ani!"
She knelt down besides me and I slightly smiled at her. She was frowning, scared at the gash in my arm.
"Padme…" She smiled brightly at the sound of her name.
"I'm here Ani; I always will…." She paused for a moment and looked at Sidious body on the floor.
"What happened?" This time a real smile came to my face as she looked from me to Sidious. I had all the time in the world to tell her what had happened.
I sighed deeply and watched as her face showed different emotions. She was sad, happy, mad, and pained by my injures.
"It's over Padme, it's finally over."
