Padme browsed through the books in Vader's library. Most of them were propaganda books about the Empire.

"I don't have the strength to deal with this!" she moaned to herself.

"You do not give yourself enough credit, Padme," she heard Obi Wan say.

"Is it true, Obi Wan? Did you injure Vader? Or is he lying? Please tell me he is lying!"

"He is telling the truth, as least the parts he wants to tell. He wants you angry at me."

"But why? Because of you, I am in this mess!"

"No, Padme. Do not be like Vader. I did tell you to go downstairs, but ultimately it was yours choice. Just like it was Leia's choice to keep you hidden. You made the right choice, but she did not."

"I'm sure she would love for you to say that to her," Padme grunted angrily.

"No, she was not pleased when I said that to her..."

"You talked with Leia?" Padme gasped. "Is she okay? I talked with her briefly before..."

"She is fine, young one. Worried sick about you, but she is okay. She has contacted your father and your uncle to help devise a plan to get you back."

"My uncle? Leia never mentioned that she had a brother. Great, another family member she kept secret!"

"I know, but it was your uncle that did not want the galaxy to know. To everyone else, they are just good friends. Padme, I am sure you have studied his accomplishments in history. He shares the same last name as your mother's father. He also grew up on Tatooine, just like you."

"Luke Skywalker?" Padme uttered in shock. "The man who blew up the First Death Star?"

"Yes. Luke is your uncle. You have not met him before because he has been rebuilding the Jedi order. But when he found out about you, he had the biggest smile on his face."

"Padme, you will be arriving at Mustafar tomorrow. Vader will bring you into his castle. By then, you will know the complete truth about your family. I will not able to communicate with you, since the planet has a strong Dark Side presence. You will tempted by the Dark Side, Padme. You must choose to resist it. You must choose to love, and to forgive. If you do, Vader will have no choice but to do the same."

"He is full of anger, Obi Wan. There is no forgiveness in his heart. He is just keeping me alive to get back at Leia. For what reason, I still do not understand."

"I thought once like you. That Vader was irredeemable. Especially after the suffering he and Darth Sidious caused. But he did kill Sidious, and saved Luke's life."

"How did he save Luke's life?"

"That is a story I will have Luke tell you, when he sees you"

"If I ever see him..."

"Trust in the Force, Padme. It runs strong in your family. You are not the only one looking for answers." Obi Wan paused, waiting for Padme to react.

"Vader," she whispered. "He had me give a DNA sample. Why would he do that?"

"Search your feelings, Padme..."

"Why can't you just tell me? Why is everything a big secret in my family..." Padme stopped speaking. The Force flowed through her, and she had a realization.

"He knows I'm Leia's daughter!" she exclaimed. "But he wants actual proof. Oh Obi Wan, what do I do?"

"Trust in the Force. You are right. Vader wants proof that you are Leia's child."

"So that he can exact his revenge against her. I have to leave!"

"No, Padme! You cannot run from Vader. If you do..."

"He will kill me anyway, whether I run or not!' Padme screamed in fright. "He is going to use me to hurt Leia, Han and Luke, until all of us are killed!"

"You are talking in fear. You know where fear leads to."

"The Dark Side. But I am afraid, Obi Wan. I don't want anyone in my family to die!"

"Then you will be making the same mistake as Vader. Do not follow in his footsteps. May the Force be with you, Padme."

Just like that, Obi Wan disappeared. Padme did her best to calm herself. Vader knew, or at least suspected, her parentage. Whether it was because she had lived with Leia, or if it was because he found out via the mind probe, she did not know.

"I need to distract myself from this nightmare," she told herself. She sat down by the big screen TV and surfed the Holonet. Padme decided to learn more about her family. She typed in Han Solo, and saw his bio. He had a very high price for his capture. Padme knew from history that he helped with the destruction of the First Death Star.

"I see why Leia fell for him," Padme thought, as she saw a picture of him when he was in his early thirties. "He is handsome, for a scruffy looking guy."

She searched through more data about Han, until she saw one picture of him, Leia and another young man. She saw a Wookiee near her father. That was mostly like Chewbacca.

"Rebellion leader Princess Leia Organa awards medal of honor to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker for the destruction of many lives on the Death Star," Padme read the description out loud. "Leave it to the Empire to spin history their way."

She stared at the picture for a long time. Both Luke and Leia were short, so she guessed she got her height from Han. She had Leia's brown hair and Luke's blue eyes. They looked so young back then! Padme saw the year of the photo. Leia and Luke were only nineteen at the time of the photo. There were only three years older than Padme was at this time.

"I hope I can get see nineteen," Padme uttered sadly to herself. All she wanted to know was about her family. Now she knew, but they were paying the price for it. Something had to be done. Obi Wan was right. If she kept giving into fear, it would only lead her to the Dark Side. And that is what Vader wanted.

She scrolled further down, and saw a picture of the Millennium Falcon. She read the note about how it was a myth about it making the Kessel Run at all, and all the battles it had been involved with against the Empire.

Suddenly, Padme stood up from the chair. She felt her mother's presence! But where? She looked at the TV channel that filmed out in space. At first, she didn't see anything. Then she closed her eyes, and used the Force.

It was coming! The Millennium Falcon was coming! Leia was on the ship, presumably with Han and Chewbacca. Padme sensed another person there, one strong with the Force.

"Luke," she said quietly. She almost fell backwards when a male voice responded back to her.

"Hello, Padme. Don't be afraid."
