I like this idea so much with Mara and Anakin bond. Its DarthGladiator45's idea from the story they wrote called 'Skywalker Family'. It's not my idea. I will not be using the whole story. I was going to use the Mara and Anakin Bond and the Mara and Han bond in my story. Remember this is not my idea its DarthGladiator45's

Chapter Thirty

The next morning at breakfast…

"Master!" Mara ran out of her room to the kitchen

"Yes Mara?" Anakin felt her excitement

"I talked to Luke!" Mara smiled

"Really!" Padme and Leia said in unison

She looked over. "Yes!" Mara smiled

"How is he? Where is he? Who is he with?" Anakin looked at Mara worriedly

"He doesn't know where he is. The Dark Force took him." Mara frowned

Anakin nodded and started pacing. "How is he?" Anakin repeated

"In a lot of pain, using the light side and reaching to make a connection causes a lot of pain for him. He can't reach out very often. He is trying to figure out a way to escape but he really doesn't know what he can do. His hands are tied." Mara frowned

"Okay." Anakin started pacing again

Padme really felt helpless. She wanted to help because she is strong, but she is no match for the force. Anakin went over to hug her, and Padme cried into his shoulder. Leia looked at Han desperately. Han frowned and gave Leia a hug.

"What can we do?" Han asked. Mara looked over at Han

"There is really nothing you can do Han. It's up to us." Mara concluded

"Well, it seems that school is starting soon." Lola frowned

"You know you have to go Lo." London stated

Anakin looked at his family. "We have to make it look like everything is normal." He looked at his triplets. "You all have to continue your studies. Lola you too, we might need your healing skills after this mess. Leia, Ahsoka is okay with you helping Leia because you are close to the end of your training. Mara, you are coming with me because you are my Padawan. Obi-Wan will also be coming to find his Padawan. Padme, I love you so much Angel." He hugged Padme

"I will stay with Lance, Louis, London, and Lola." Padme hugged Anakin

"Thank you." He kissed her

"What do I do?" Han asked

"You need to continue your studies and keep working on your ship and your studies." Anakin ordered kindly. Han frowned but agreed

"Remember we have to stay out of the public's eye. We are famous to Coruscant and they community. Stay out, we do not need to press knowing that Luke is missing we won't hear the end of it." Anakin stated

Author's Note: Remember that Padme was the 'Supreme Chancellor' for a while until she retired to care for her family. Anakin is the Grand Master even though the Council members do not always treat him that way or honor Master Yoda's final wish of Anakin being the Grand Master. Padme being the former Supreme Chancellor makes her extremely wealthy and in the public eye. Anakin the Jedi who killed Darth Sidious and saving the Jedi Temple makes him in the public eye.

Padme agreed and started cleaning the dishes. "I think we should leave today." Mara asked

"I agree." Anakin answered

A few hours later…

Anakin, Leia, Mara, and Obi-Wan are saying goodbye to everyone and boarding on their ship. They blast off into Coruscant's atmosphere.

"What's the plan?" Leia asked

"Well, we have to reach Luke." Obi-Wan acknowledged

Anakin looked over. "Who has the strongest bond with Luke?" he asked

Leia looked at Obi-Wan. "You do." Obi-Wan commented

"Are you sure?" Leia asked

"Yes, you definitely do. You and he are very close." Anakin agreed

"Okay I will give it a try." Leia responded

Leia went into the other room and sat on her bed. This room she normally would share with Luke, but this time since they all are on a ship she is sharing it with Mara. Leia crossed her legs and put herself into a deep meditation.

Somewhere else…

Luke scrambled up to get the food that the Dark Force finally gave him. He ate that quickly and drank the water down very fast. He laid down after he was done eating. He tried reaching out to the Force again, but only more pain came along. He realized that the only way he could reach out to the Force was if he just took in all that pain. So, he did. He took all the pain in and that made him angry. In the distance in the Force he felt a large light. A very powerful light side and this light was reaching out to him. He knew he couldn't go that way. He needed to remain in darkness if he ever wanted to escape. So, he used all of his Force power and pushed it away.

The Skywalker Ship…

Leia felt anger and pain. She was pushed out of the Force. It stunned her, she felt exhaustion and pain. She opened her eyes and out came tears, she did not know how powerful this darkness was. She knew that her brother was in grave danger and needed help before it became too late. This darkness was so powerful, it was almost like it was equally as powerful as her. Then she thought and was in complete shock that she talked outload.

"Luke isn't in pain, he is the pain. He has transformed himself into darkness. He has turned without knowing he has." Leia started crying

Anakin walked in feeling Leia's distress

"Leia, what's wrong?" Anakin sat on the bed

"Luke turned." Leia cried

Anakin hugged Leia and this was one of the first times he really had no idea what to do, or what he should do. He was completely lost, he had lost his son. His own flesh and blood. Leia was sobbing on his shoulder and there were no words he could say to make his little girl feel better because there was nothing he could do to save his son. Anakin teared up. He continued to hug Leia thinking about something he could say to make this all better. But there was nothing he could do.

"Dad, could I have a few minutes?" Leia asked sadly

Anakin nodded and left. Anakin walked into the cockpit and sat down in a chair. He looked at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan knew exactly what his former Padawan was going to say. His mood dropped. He was so surprised that he lost his Padawan. They lost Luke to darkness. Mara read their minds (more like their Force Signature) and looked at Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"We have to find him." Mara declared

"Mara, he is gone. He turned." Anakin grew sad

"That doesn't mean he is gone." Mara nodded

"Except he is so deep in it." Leia entered the room, her eyes are red from crying

"There is a way that he can come back. I know there is. I know it." Mara just wasn't going to give up and Anakin admired that about her.

"What's your plan then?" Anakin asked Mara

"Reach out to him. If he is in darkness he can see where is his and then we go there. We go there and get this Dark Force and rescue Luke." Mara concluded proudly

"Okay, who will reach out to him?" Leia asked

"You." Mara smiled

"Are you sure? He didn't seem to like me that much."

"I am positive. I know you will get to him." She nodded

Leia walked back into her room and tried again to reach out to her twin brother.
