AN: I PASSED SPANISH 2010! WOO HOO! Well enjoy! And review as always!

Chapter 14:

Padmé lay her head down against the wall and sighed. She had no idea how long she had been a slave of Jabba's. It hurt too much to count the days. She longed to be with her children and Anakin once again and not some dancer of Jabba's.

She slowly stood up and moved towards the small window. Her eyes slowly scanned the night sky then focused on one spot and one spot alone. It was a tiny star. But this wasn't just any star. No this star was the system where Naboo was. That small star brought her comfort. A comfort at knowing that her children were still out there and possibly Anakin as well.

And maybe just someday the Skywalker family could be reunited…


The door to Anakin's cell slid opened and a storm trooper walked in. he was bringing Anakin his daily meal.

"Here you go," he said throwing the tray of harden bread on the ground. That was when something caught the storm troopers eye. Anakin wasn't in his usual spot in the dark corner. The trooper moved further into the darkness, when a pair of large hands took hold of the trooper's neck and turned it so that it broke with quickness and ease.

The trooper fell into Anakin's arms and he quietly set the deceased trooper on the ground. He quickly changed into the trooper's armor and slipped out of the prison cell. He jammed the cell door closed and quickly walked away.

That had been easier then he thought it was going to be. He had spent weeks figuring out the routine of the storm troopers that came in and out of his cell daily once they had arrived wherever they were now. Anakin figured that this must be Darth Nicholas' private retreat. Once he had their routine down, it was no problem to put his plan into action:

Lay in wait for storm trooper

Attack from behind

Change into armor

Escape

Simple as it was, Anakin thought that it was going to be a lot harder then it was going at the moment. But then again he still had to get from the holding cells to the hanger bay. And he had no idea where he was even going at the moment.

The further Anakin got from the dentition cells; his ability to connect with the Force was once again present.

'Nicholas and Sidious must have had something installed that blocked my ability to touch the Force!' Anakin thought to himself.

That had to be it; it was the only thing that was making sense at the moment.

Now things were going to be much easier.


Within no time, Anakin had figured out where the hanger bay was and had managed to convince one of the storm troopers in charge to allow him to have a transport. His reasoning was just to go somewhere. Weak minds were so easy to manipulate using the Force.

Underneath the storm trooper mask, Anakin couldn't help but smile. This was far too easy.

When he was almost to his transport, Anakin passed by a tall man dressed in a black cloak and something like storm trooper armor, but not as binding. It was Darth Nicholas.

He had been present at many of the beatings that Anakin had endured over the past few months. He even partook in a few of them. And Nicholas was the one that had taken Padmé away from him. It took all of Anakin's will power not to go right over to him and strangle him. He still was the Chosen One.

Anakin stopped and acted just like a storm trooper would when Darth Nicholas passed by him. Then once everything was in clear, he quickly made his way onto the transport and escaped from Nicholas' grasp.

As soon as he was away from planet side, he quickly dismantled the communication system of the shuttle so that he couldn't be tracked and hopefully not found.

Now he could finally reunite his family.

"Daddy is coming Galen…"


Galen sat up in bed, trembling. What was going on?

Did she just hear her daddy's voice in her head? Was he really coming for her?

She had a smile on her face as she lay back down in bed and let sleep surround her. Hopefully she would see her daddy soon.

That night she dreamt that she was with her mommy and daddy back at home.


"YOU IDIOTS! YOU LET HIM ESCAPE!"

None of the storm troopers in front of him moved or even flinched. They were all too scared at the moment. Scared that any one of them would be Force choked.

Nicholas was furious. He had just found out that Anakin Skywalker had escaped. How could he? Then it dawned on him. He went up to the storm trooper on the far left.

"You were in charge of transport were you not?" he asked.

"Yes sir I was."

"Did you allow Anakin Skywalker to escape?"

"No sir."

"Did you allow anyone to take out a transport for a bogus reason?"

The trooper was silent for a few moments. "…yes sir I did…" he eventually said.

"And where did he say he was going?"

"I don't know."

Nicholas clinched his fist and the trooper fell to the ground dead. "FIND ME THAT TRANSPORT!"

All the storm troopers scattered in a frenzy to locate the missing shuttle.


AN #2: I know that Anakin usually wouldn't kill anyone, but this was a drastic measure. But he had to do what he had to do.
