The story Palpatine had told Anakin had been true. This made Anakin incredibly curious on where Palpatine had heard the story.
Anakin quickly walked out of the Council room and quickly made his way over to the Senate building. He ran to the Chancellor's office but when he got there, he was greeted by a security guard.
"I'm sorry Master Skywalker, but the Chancellor is currently busy with a meeting, he told me that no one is to be let in."
"Please, it's important!" pleaded Anakin
"I'm sorry." the guard said again
"Well, can you please tell him that I was here, and I need to speak with him as soon as possible?" said Anakin knowing full well that "asap" might not be for hours.
"Of course Master Skywalker."
"Thanks" said Anakin, then he turned and went back to the Jedi temple.

The next morning, Palpatine still had not contacted Anakin, so Anakin made his way back to the Senate building. But when he got there, he was greeted by the same security guard.
"Master Skywalker, the Chancellor apologizes for not being able to contact you, but he said he had to go to an urgent meeting this morning on Mustafar." said the guard
"Mustafar? What's he doing there?" asked Anakin
"He didn't say, but it sounded rather important."
"Thank you" said Anakin and left.
Anakin was so confused. What business did the Chancellor have on Mustafar? Even though Anakin had never been to Mustafar before, he knew that it wasn't a pleasant planet. It was unbearably hot and there was a large river of lava that flowed right through the middle of the planet. Anakin didn't know why anyone would want to go there.
When Anakin got back to the Jedi temple, he received a message saying that there was going to be an emergency council meeting. So Anakin once again made his way up to the council room.
When Anakin got there all of the other masters were already there.
"We have received news that Ki Adi Mundi has successfully killed General Grievous." said master Windu. This caused everyone's face to light up. With General Grievous gone, the war would take a turn for the better .With Grievous gone, all the Jedi really had to do, was find and kill the mysterious Sith Lord, and the war would be won.
"Now, Skywalker, do you have any news on where Chancellor Palpatine heard that story?" asked Mace
" No master, when I went to speak with him, a security guard said that he had gone to Mustafar." said Anakin
"Mustafar, what's he doing there?" asked Obi Wan
"He didn't say, he just said that the Chancellor had urgently left for Mustafar this morning."
"Very strange this is, when the Chancellor comes back, confront him you must." said Yoda.
"Find out why he went to Mustarfar and where he heard that story, understand?" said Mace
"Yes master" said Anakin and the meeting ended.
That night, Anakin had another dream of Padme dying in childbirth. He had not told Obi Wan of his dreams and figured he should since another one had occurred. Now he was really starting to get worried. He had thought that maybe the first one had been simply a nightmare. But now that he had another one, he knew something was wrong. He walked to the Jedi temple and found Obi Wan.
"Hello Anakin, is there bothering you? You've been acting a bit strange lately."
"Umm… Obi Wan, I need to talk to you about something."
"Let me guess, you and Padme adopted a Wookie so that your new baby won't be lonely?" he asked teasingly.
"No Obi Wan, I'm serious."
"Ok, I'm sorry, go on."
"You know Padme's pregnant right? Well, I've been having these dreams, and in my dreams, Padme dyes in childbirth. I'm so worried Obi Wan, what if these dreams come true?"
Obi Wan was totally shocked, force dreams were very uncommon, and they were extremely dangerous.
"Anakin, you must be careful, force dreams are very dangerous, they cause Jedi to do things that they wouldn't normally do, but I'm glad that you told me, you don't need to deal with this by yourself."
Obi Wan looked into his friends crystal blue eyes, they were filled with worry and concern.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you Anakin."
Anakin smiled but his smiled was soon whipped away when a voice behind him said,
"Master Skywalker, Chancellor Palpatine has returned."
