Chapter 6 - Words and Regrets

Obi-Wan sat in one of the smaller libraries as he thought about what just happened between him and Padme. He had tried to find his fault in his words or actions and found that wasn't were it was. Sitting forward he put his head in his hands and rubbed his face. The problem was in his heart. He cared about her, he didn't want to see her unhappy and he definately didn't want to be the source of her unhappiness.

Coming to the conclusion that he would go talk to her he stood and left the library noticing instantly that he was being followed by Cornelius Naberrie.

Sighing mentaly to himself he knew that if he payed a late night visit to Padme he would probably end up getting kicked off the planet, or at the very least out of the palace and there was no way he could properly protect the senator.

Rounding the corner he ran into the last person he needed to see. Padme.

"Hello Senator." He said and bowed slightly before hurrying off.

"Obi-Wan wait!"

The jedi could feel Cornelius's eyes boring a hole through his skull. He turned around and waited for Padme to walk up to him.

"Obi-Wan this is silly. We're acting like two immature children not talking together. I'm sorry if I hurt you or anything."

"Padme it's okay I."

"Obi-Wan please let me finish." She said and he stopped, although it was against his better judgement. She continued, "Ever since you've been here I wanted you to feel at ease, nothing can happen to me while you're close by." She touched his arm and giggled a little. "What would the rest of the galaxy think of the jedi if one of their best swordsman can't protect a little senator?"

It was suddenly getting very hot for Obi-Wan and he cleared his throat. "Padme." He said and stopped a moment trying to find the words. "I appreciate it very much but I've been through worse I promise. You and I are friends and that's what should remain, or friendship."

Padme looked at him a long time before he realized what he had said. Obi-Wan's eyes grew big and he tried to will his feet to move but it was to no avail. Padme's feet were working however and they were bringing her closer to him.

"What do you mean?"

Obi-Wan found himself looking down at her mouth as she stood only two inches away from him. A noise startled them both and Obi-Wan kicked himself for not remembering that Cornelius was still there.

"Padme, your mother would like a word with you." He said and Padme followed her father. Obi-Wan didn't give the other man a chance to say anything as he turned and walked quickly away like he wanted to do before.

SWSWSWSW

Padme followed her father to the lounge where her mother and Cari sat. Cornelius motioned for her to sit with them.

"I want that jedi out of my house." He said and Padme stood to defend Obi-Wan.

"Dad he is here to protect me, to make sure nothing happends to me!"

"Our security can handle that." He said in a calm voice.

Padme wasn't going to have any of her father's ranting of jedi as she knew would be coming when her father kept looking at Cari. "You leave her and Geordi out of this dad."

Her father gave her a look and then turned back to his sister. "Why won't you admit he raped you?"

Both Padme and Cari jumped to defend not just Geordi but the whole jedi order.

"Dad you can't think that, he loves her!"

"Cornelius you are stupid! You don't know the first thing about me and my HUSBAND! I won't listen to it anymore." She said, tears coming to her eyes.

Hilda remained quiet, this was her husbands family and she would let him do as he saw fit.

"You're scared of him. I can see it in your eyes. I will not let that fear take hold of my daughter!"

Padme's eyes were tearing. How dare he talk about Obi-Wan like that. "Obi-Wan is no more able to rape anyone then I am! He is important to me dad! He is my friend and I love him!"

The room was quiet and Padme was so upset she didn't care anymore. "I love him."

Cornelius took out a gun from inside his dinner jacket and pointed it at his family. "No one follow me."

"You can't sneak up on a jedi Cornelius!" Cari called after him and Padme started to cry.

"He wants to kill Obi-Wan!"

The three women knew better then to follow him and they all stayed put.

SWSWSWSW

Obi-Wan was in deep meditation when the force ran hard in his ears, making his eyes pulse. Taking out his lightsaber he took off out of the room and headed for Padme's force signature. Suddenly and without warning blaster bolts came from behind him flying by his head at very close range.

"Finally I have Obi-Wan Kenobi right where I want him."

Obi-Wan squinted his eyes at the voice. It changed. Closing his eyes he activated his lightsaber knowing his oponent would do the same. "Bruck Chun."

The face in front of him smiled. "Obi-Wan Kenobi. Took you long enough. I was begining to wonder if you would ever catch on to my little game."

"What do you want?" Obi-Wan asked, the words leaving a sour taste in his mouth and a pain in his stomach.

"The senator. I am to take her to my master, there he has some interesting activities for her to partake in."

"How long have you been posing as Cornelius Naberrie?"

The now dark jedi squinted his eyes. "What is this Twenty Questions? I already told you what I'm here for."

"Over my dead body."

"That can be arranged."

Bruck activated his red colored lightsaber and attacked Obi-Wan at full speed. He had grown in his lack of talent since he was thought to be dead for over twenty years.

The fight seemed to go on forever until Bruck had Obi-Wan against the wall and was breathing hard in his ear. "Do you know what my master has planned for her? To be a slave."

Obi-Wan's breathing was getting heavier with each word said. "Not just a regular old slave, but his personal slave. He said I can borrow her from time to time." Bruck taunted, knowing he was getting the best of the more experienced jedi. "He said I can take her any time I would like and fuck her."

The force seemed to pulse out of Obi-Wan and Bruck was slammed into the opposite wall. He brought his lightsaber down and was blocked by the red.

"What is it Kenobi? Like the senator a little?"

Obi-Wan tried to block him out but couldn't too soon he was backed into a corner and bruck had disarmed him. Holding the red blade at his old classmates throat he continued to talk right into Obi-Wan's ear. "The first thing I'm going to do to her is undress her, relishing in the sight of her beautifully sculpted soft body before I press her up against the wall and start to fuck her. After that her body won't be so perfect as she will be pregnant with my child who will be raised as a sith."

Obi-Wan's eyes held so much rage that he felt the force pulsing in him making him stronger, the dark side. Realizing this he pushed him away and called upon his lightsaber when he blinked, Bruck was gone.

Turning and running toward the lounge Obi-Wan had one thing on his mind. Padme.
