Ok Lanfear1. here is the next chapter. Yes it 's a tab short. Now I won't have a new chapter ready until next week But it's a good one.I planned to write more this weekend. I have a few ends that need to be tied together. Plus I have something special plan for this story but I'm not going tell you. Let say it's very interesting
Padme, my love
First -Forgive me for all what have done to you. I know I'll cause you pain. There is no way avoiding it. This has nothing to do with you. You brought me too much joy in my life to cause me pain. No, the other two pulls of my life are causing me to do this. I want to runaway and know there is no place to go No this only way for them to listen to me. Yes I'm gambling with my life by taking the Galeriana. Yes, that what I took to escape. This according to my supplier and the Jedi archives, the amount I take. Should put me in a coma like state for a week or two. Maybe then, they will listen to my pleads. I know that I might gamble wrong. But the Chancellor and the Jedi are doing the same thing. Gambling with my life too. Both want me to do things I know in my heart is wrong. I can't shut off my feeling like the Jedi want me to do. No I can't do that. I felt too much to do that. The heart of the problem is the Jedi want me to spy on Palpatine. Who has been nothing but a good friend to me. I have tried -but how can I betray a friend? But then a friend, who in turn. What me to report what the Jedi are doing. I don't what is in Palpatine heart to cause hin to ask me to do this. He know what the Jedi means to me. So why this? What has change him? I ask him and I'm not told. Please keep your distance from him. I can't put my finger on the source of my misgiving. Padme, I'm caught in this whirlpool of emotion. Pulling down a side of me I don't want to face. You know me Padme, that my anger will cause me to fail and I don't want to do that. I hate dragging you into this mess. I have tried to make my feelings know to all. Only to be told it's my job. I'm too entangle to just walk away and go somewhere. Then live life- rest of our life in peace. I used to dream of becoming a Master Jedi. No, the thought leaves a bitterness in my mouth. I once view the Jedi as the liberators of me. Now I realize I have become a slave, now own by the Jedi. No! I don't want to be anybody's slave anymore. I rather have my life fighting for me and free. Yes Padme, maybe this the wrong way to doing this. But I'm left with no other choice , I will not involve you . I love you too much and the twins. Yes Padme you are carrying twins. I can sense them. If I don't win this gamble. Please don't name the boy after me. Please name him Luke. as for the girl, Leila or Liana. Don't let the Jedi have them. Go back to Naboo and seek the Queen's protection. Raise my children there. It's a beautiful world. It will be bad enough if I don't win this gamble. Padme I love you so much. It's in my heart, that you'll find the heart to understand. If you don't, I'll understand my love. I must end it here. Always remember, I'll love you forever.
Anakin
Padme quietly refolded the note.
"Ok Anakin, I'll go back to Naboo like you want me to. But you are going with me"
Another night cease and another day is being born. Millions of people go on with their lives. Whether it's begining or ending or growing somewhere between of all that.
Padme sits on the couch, waiting for Obi-Wan to arrive. Not sure if she will be back tonight. Today will be the fulcrum point of Anakin's life. Today she will tell the Jedi Council to release Anakin to her. Laying on the table is their marriage testament, signed three years ago. She smiles at the memory of those days, smiling on remembering the first kiss as husband and wife. Sadness, always snuck in with the thought of the twins, now she feels alone. Anakin was going give them some training, was still debating on fulling training them. The note explains why of late, he wanted something else for them.
"Mistress"
"Yes C-3P0" Padme said, breaking from her thoughts.
"Master Obi-Wan is here" he replied
"Are you ready?" Obi-Wan asks, helping her up.
"Yes I'm ready, going to be interesting day" Padme said, picking up her paper and placing in her bag. Anakin's note was already in there.
"A good thing. I think it will be a long day for you"
"Nope, going to be interesting day" she counter back as she climbs into the speeder.
"Oh no Padme, what in the name the of the force, are you up to" Obi-Wan thought. When he realized, she had that look and that tone in her voice. "Padme, what are you planning to do. Better tell me please" he ask her out loud.
"I'll tell you after I see Anakin. Trust me Obi-Wan. I'll talk you first before doing this.. Beside" Padme stopping and taking a deep breath "I know what happen to Anakin. It wasn't murder.
"What!. What are you talking about?
"Obi-Wan please. I'll tell you. But I need to see Anakin first." Padme pleaded.
"Ok" he said, landing the speeder.
Nothing more was discuss as Obi-Wan lead Padme back to Anakin's room.
