I don't own Star Wars, but I do own Sirenne (pronounced Sir-eanne).
It took Lord Vader at least twenty minutes to calm his thrashing wife down. He reached out with the force into her mind, and was astounded by his findings. Someone crawled into Padme's mind with the force and was destroying it. The Emperor will wish to know this. He thought.
The Emperor listened patiently, all the while sensing that Vader was alarmed by this. "Vader," Palpatine said calmly.
"Yes, master." The sith lord responded. "What is thy bidding?"
The Emperor responded "I want you to meditate on this. Your new mission is to find this culprit and bring him to me."
"Of course, master."
"I am surprised how much this is troubling you."
"This could happen to the troops and harm the empire."
"Go and meditate." Lord Vader bowed and left for his quarters.
He found it most difficult to meditate, not only was Padme having a fitful sleep, but officers kept interrupting him with the most useless information and reports. He was tempted to lock his door before the next person came in. He was settling into a deep meditation when a person came to his door, but stopped and backed away as if waiting for him to finish with what he was doing. So, this is the new sith lord in training. He thought. He was grateful that she was willing to wait, but sensed she had some important information to give him. He heaved himself off the floor and shuffled to the door.
"You're the new padawan for Dooku?" he asked.
"No, master, but anyway I have some information about…um… well, here, sir." She stammered. Vader scanned the notepad she handed him. He smirked under his mask Dooku is bribing me with information so I won't suspect him.
"You, say you are not Count Dooku's apprentice?" Lord Vader asked cautiously.
"No, master, Emperor Palpatine told me I was to be your apprentice." She answered in the quietest voice Vader had ever heard. He closed his eyes and took in a few deep breaths before contacting the Emperor.
He went over his situation, he was stuck with a timid padawan, his wife was slowly going mental, and he needed to find out the person responsible for his wife's condition before anybody else was attacked. "I need to meditate, do not let anybody disturb me unless it is of great importance." He ordered
"Yes, master." The young girl responded. Vader turned on his heel and strode away.
Vader had been in deep meditation for two hours before someone actually interrupted him. Padme got up off the bed and left the room. Lord Vader watched her shakily walk over to the refresher and get some water. She sat down and asked his padawan her name.
"My name is Sirenne." She answered in that melodious voice. She turned towards the door and glared at it as if there was some one she despised standing in the doorway. The sith lord aproached the table and asked gruffly "What are you doing?"
"Some body is spying on us." she answered flatly. Sirenne sprang to her feet and lunged for the open doorway, light saber in hand. After slashing through the air Sirenne grabbed the neck of a man. He was covered head to toe in black. "What were you doing?" she asked in a harsh voice that wwas not hers at all. The man stuttered out an alien language that Lord Vader could not decifer. Sirenne ran the light saber through him and let the security clean up his body.
"What did he say?" Padme asked.
