Chapter 2-To Love-Continued

Finally, I'm alone.

Eva hadn't had a time for peace in 12 days. Her preparation for this mission had sped up in the week before she left and she had no spare moment. After arriving she had dedicated every second to planning. Now, finally, she could rest for a few minutes.

I never really thought about it but this is sorta cool. I mean how many 12 year olds can say that they met Master Yoda! Or that the Jed Council accepted their proposition! Most especially, that they met THE Anakin Skywalker!

Eva was sitting in….well I guess you could call it her room. It was basically a small unused library. There wasn't much in it. Maybe 1 shelf of holobooks and a small mat. That was were Eva was right now, on the mat the she used for a bed. Master Yoda had offered her a room but she declined. They were at war, and they could certainly use every room available. Why waste one on her?

Eva remained there for several minutes until Obi-Wan caught sight of her.

"Eva, there you are. The Council wishes to see you."

"Why Master Kenobi?" she asked.

"I don't know. They would not tell me and it is not my place to question them."

"Yes Master Kenobi."

Eva stood up and straightened her robe before walking to the Jedi Council.

Eva had learned only a few paths through the Jedi Temple, since it wasn't around in her time. But she did know her way to the Jedi Council. She had been there enough times over the past five days.

"Council." , Greeted Eva kindly.

"Miss Skywalker." , Replied Master Windu.

Eva wasn't surprised. She knew that Yoda would inform the council of her…….'unusual heritage'.

"Please have a seat." He said gesturing to the seat in front of her.

She graciously accepted his offer. She suddenly realized that Anakin must be here. Representing Palpatine. Oh no, he can't find out. Not yet. She looked around and mentally sighed with relief, he wasn't here.

"Why are you here, "

"To stop something from happening."

"To stop what."

"I can't reveal that."

"Why"

"As many things as possible must stay the same in order to insure the safety of the future. Changing even one thing could result in my inexistence."

"Then answer what you can."

"Yes sir."

"Are you truly Young Skywalker's granddaughter."

"Yes."

"Where did you grow up?"

"On Yavin 4."

"Who sent you here?"

"My father."

"Why?"

"He meditated for weeks on the matter. He knew that something had to happen, and that I was going to cause it to happen. He just didn't know what. After 2 weeks of meditation he figured out how to time travel. On the 3rd week Master Yoda-" she glanced at the green Jedi Master. "-appeared to him. Telling him what to do."

"What change are you to bring about?"

"I cannot say."

Master Windu sighed, "You are excused."

Bowing her head Eva left.

"What do you think of the girl, Master Yoda?" asked Master Windu.

"Much like Young Skywalker, she is."

Master Windu nodded, "That's what I was afraid of."

Day 6…………………………

Eva sighed. She was taking Anakin's place with the Chancellor again. This time he had asked her to. He claimed he wanted to meditate…..Eva knew better, he was going to Padme's.

"So what skills have you practiced so far." Asked Palpatine.

"Only dueling and self-discipline, you know being calm all the time and trusting the force."

"Interesting."

Eva hoped he wouldn't realize she had lied. Well, actually she hadn't lied completely. She had practiced dueling and self-discipline but she had also practiced every other Jedi power.

Let him think I'm weak.

She pushed a strand of hair from her face. Most of it was tied with a ribbon, but a few strands had escaped here and there. Tomorrow is the day. The day everything is going to change.

"What are you thinking about, Eva." , Asked the Chancellor.

"Oh…" , she paused , "…I was thinking about our conversation from last time."

"Ahhh…yes the corrupt Jedi order. "

"I think you are wrong. The Jedi are good people."

"They are lies, Eva. They can't give you what I can." He whispered his breath right on her shoulder.

"What can you give me?"

"Everything. What do you want Eva. "

"A speeder?"

"Done."

"That building over there." , she pointed out the window.

"Done."

"Yavin?"

"All of them."

"Impossible."

"Don't you understand Eva." , he whispered menacingly. "I'm all powerful. I can have anything I want."

"The senate only gave you temporary control."

Palpatine laughed, a cold, dry laugh.

"Do you think the Senate could control me?"

"What?"

"I am Darth Siduos." He said spreading his arms out.
