PART 51

"R2" Obi-Wan said surprisingly as he let R2 pass through the door.

"What happened, where is miss Padme!" Threepio said urgently.

After a series of beeps and woot's Threepio finally said, "He says they were attaked by sand people, they hit miss Padme over the head with a gun and dragged her off. When he followed after them the sand people blasted their guns at him."

"Which way were they headed?" Obi-Wan asked urgently.

"South sir" Threepio answered.

"I need to find that camp, but I'll have to wait until the suns go down, I can't risk them seeing me."

Padme stood in silence as the Tusken Raider started whipping her back, she was in great pain, would not let them see that, the tears silently rolling down her face.

'Obi-Wan will come for me, I know he will' she thought to herself as the whip struck her back once more.

Obi-Wan checked in with Mon Mothma to make sure she and the girls made it to Chandrila safely. The senator told him that the girls were fine but extremely worried about their mother and him.

"Tell them I will be contacting them soon, and that we are both with them."

"I will Obi-Wan, please find Padme."

"I will" and then he ended the transmission.

He went outside and got on his speeder before taking off he said, "If any messages come through, you can reach me on my Comlock."

"Yes Master Kenobi, please take care of miss Padme, and yourself sir."

"I'll be back soon" and then he sped off into the dusk.

Darth Vader sat in his chair while his star destroyer was traveling in hyperspace, they were told of a rebel base being formed on a nearby planet, the Emperor had ordered him and his men to go there and annihilate the base and the rebel troops.

While he sat there deep in thought, he started getting a vision, it was similar to the vision he had of Padme dying in childbirth, only this was much worse, she was in a dark room screaming and crying out, only this time it was for Obi-Wan instead of him. He could feel Padme's pain as he saw her face scrunch up.

'She's in danger' he thought to himself as he opened his eyes.

"Captain" he said through his comlock.

"Yes Lord Vader"

"There is going to be a change of plan, before we go to the rebel base we must change course, we are going to Tatooine."

"But my lord, what about…"

"No questions captain, change course immediately."

"Yes my Lord."
