A/N: Thanks for the reviews, it encouraged me to add on to this fic; I assure you that the future chapters will be longer--enjoy. : )

FYI: I have changed a few things in this story, like Padme didn't die or go to Mustafar, and Mace Windu is not quite dead...if you notice other altered things in this story, please don't get mad; because I mean what I say when I wrote completely AU in the summary. ; )

Chapter Two: 'Secret opperation'

As Anakin stroked the hair back from Padme's face, He remembered…he remembered the sacrifice that his one time master had made.

Obi-Wan had taken it upon himself to become the very thing that he feared Anakin becoming: a Sith lord.

Anakin rested his head in his hands; he couldn't stop thinking about it.

How could he?

When he looked at his sleeping wife, he wanted to kick himself for being such a fool; he had made sure that he saw Padme immediately as soon as he arrived in Coruscant; only to find that she and the twins had been taken to Naboo.

That had all happened about two days ago, and Padme had been overjoyed to see him, although she knew that all was not right, for she could see sadness in his eyes—she did not dare to ask about it.

Things were not completely back to normal, for Obi-Wan had told her about Anakin's fall before he went away to try to redeem him, for they both believed that there was still some good in him; yet Obi-Wan had not returned…something was wrong.

That morning when Padme awakened, she did not see Anakin anywhere, but after searching for a little while she found him outside, standing by the lake.

For her and the twins' safety, she had been taken to a house in a secret location, for Yoda strongly believed that Palpatine would not just be satisfied with having Anakin, but the twins also; for it was useless to deny that they would grow up and learn the ways of the force—for they had inherited it from their father, Anakin.

Padme's handmaiden, Sabe, whom she had not seen in a long while, had come to help her out with the twins.

"Anakin," she called; "Are you alright?"

He turned around at the sound of her voice; "I'm fine, I was just…enjoying the view."

Padme was not sure if she should press the matter any further; but she decided to. "Where is Obi-Wan—what happened to him? She asked suddenly.

Anakin did not speak for a moment because he was determined not to cry. "He…he is alive," he finally muttered.

Padme walked up to Anakin; "I don't understand. If he is alive, then why isn't he here with us, where he should be?"

Anakin looked down. "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"But Anakin, you can't just brush this away! Where is he?"

A sudden rage flashed in Anakin's eyes, but soon disappeared.

"Listen to me, Padme; what has happened happened for a reason; we cannot change it…" he could not finish, for his voice trailed off.

Padme still wanted to know what had happened to Obi-Wan, but nonetheless, she embraced Anakin, as he struggled with his grief and guilt.

Obi-Wan almost shook with anger when he heard that dreaded voice come from behind:

"Come, my apprentice; I have many things to show you."

Obi-Wan turned from where he was and followed the sith lord as he led him into a building which Obi-Wan/Darth Obsidian had never been before.

There were many winding hallways, and various codes to enter; when they finally reached their destination, the large double doors slid open to reveal a large room, and it in were dozens of sith.

Obi-Wan wanted to turn and leave, but yet he was so dumbfounded that he couldn't move.

Why was Palpatine showing him this, when he was not a Sith by choice, and if he escaped, then all of his plans would be ruined?

"I…I don't understand," the former Jedi master said, speaking his thoughts out loud.

"You soon will, lord Obsidian," said the emperor. "I will explain all the details of my secret operation to you in due time."
