Padme was relieved to finally know the name of the man speaking to her mind. But she was scared to tell Vader, because she feared what his reaction would be.

"I am speaking to Obi Wan Kenobi," she finally managed to say. To her surprise, instead of being angry, Vader took a step back.

"Do you know what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi?" Vader asked, not sure if the girl knew.

"Yes. You killed him on the First Death Star."

At this point, Leia's strength gave away, and she passed out.

"Leia!" Padme cried out. She tried to go to her, but she was restrained by Vader.

"Let me go!" the girl screamed, full of worry. She did not understand why Obi Wan Kenobi was speaking to her, or why Vader was asking her all these questions.

"Leave us!" Vader commanded his Stormtroopers. They walked outside. Apparently the Emperor wanted privacy with the girl, and the troops knew better than to question him.

The fear and anger began to rise in Vader. How dare Obi Wan interfere here! After the suffering Kenobi put him through, he had the nerve to speak to this girl!

He roughly let go of Padme, and told her, raising a finger to her direction,

"If you think a dead Jedi is going to protect you, think again!"

She was tempted to swat his finger away, but she didn't.

"Tell him to leave you alone. He cannot help you," the Emperor added. Padme sensed a change in Vader. She sensed fear. Bur why?

"But you can help him, Padme," Obi Wan assured her. "Tell him you just found out the truth about your family today."

How could anything that she would say to Vader help him? She did not understand. But there was no going back now. She would have to tell him the truth, and beg him to set Leia free.

"Well?" Vader growled. "What does the great Obi Wan have to say?"

"He said to tell you that I only found out about my family today," the girl confessed.

"Why would you only find out about your family today?"

Padme wished Vader would stop talking, and either take her prisoner or kill her. She swallowed her throat and replied,

"Leia was afraid you would find out about me. She told me what you do to Force Sensitive children. She did it to protect me."

"I see," Vader responded, as he lowered his hand towards her face.

"Don't mind probe me!" Padme screamed, surprised that she dare say that out loud to Vader. He was surprised that she knew about the mind probe. This girl was definitely special, but why?

"Padme, listen carefully. Tell Vader to let Leia go, and that I will tell you to tell him who your family is," Obi Wan instructed the girl. "He will take you as his prisoner, but he will not harm you."

"Do you know who he is?" Padme replied incredulously back to Obi Wan.

"I have known Vader longer than you have been alive. Go ahead, tell him what I said."

"Please let Leia go!" Padme begged for mercy. Vader was not moved by her plea.

"She is my enemy. She needs to be punished for her crimes against the Empire," he curtly told her. She did not want to speak the words. But she had no choice. She closed her eyes, and said as she trembled,

"Obi Wan said that he would tell me who my family is, if you let her go. He said you would take me as a prisoner, but that you would not harm me."

Vader started pacing back and forth. He was definitely intrigued by this girl. He sensed she cared deeply for Leia, enough to be his prisoner. As much as he was angry at Leia for keeping this girl from her true potential, he could not harm his only daughter.

"Did he? Tell the old man I will let Leia go, on one condition," Vader threatened. "You need to tell me your name, child."

"Go ahead, Padme. Tell him your name. It is better for him to know now, rather than pulling it out of your mind," Obi Wan encouraged her.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered all the courage she could muster. She stared straight up at Vader and said,

"My name is Padme Shmi Desertwar."

Vader took a couple of steps back. To hear those two names coming from the girl's lips, it was too much for him to handle. He marched to the front door and opened it. He motioned for two Stormtroopers to come inside.

"Stay with Leia Organa until she wakes up. Tell her Padme is with me, and to not try to find us," he barked at them. He faced Padme and said,

"You need to go upstairs and get dressed. You will be my prisoner. Do not try to escape!"

Padme nodded in agreement. She dashed up the stairs to her bedroom. She closed the door and started to weep.
