Ok here is a nice long update for you enjoy! You have been waiting for awhile for what is in this chapter I know that you have.
Elsewhere on Naboo:
Vader landed on Naboo with Malen, Shmi and Colonel Veers whom had a squad of Stormtroopers under his command along with various Speeders. Vader glanced at Shmi, "How old are you Shmi?"
"Thirteen," replied Shmi.
Vader nodded, "And your mother?"
"She died when I was five."
"I'm sorry I know the pain of losing a parent," replied Vader.
Shmi nodded as she slung a large sniper rifle over her shoulder, "Dad pretty much has raised me on his own ever since."
At that moment Vader noticed his Uncle approach and he spoke, "I sense a Jedi that has arrived on the planet at the same time as I. What you and Shmi will be tasked with is bringing Cay to me alive for interrogation just kill anyone else in your way."
Malen nodded, "I am up for that I don't even want to know what is going to be done to him though."
"No you don't," replied Vader with a smile under his mask as he headed for his speeder. He saw Malen and Shmi take their own Speeder and follow the group towards The Vineyards. They would arrive fairly soon since they were driving at full speed.
Serra was ignored by her father's Guards but they were stunned to see Padme flying in a speeder behind her, something that was fairly unusual. Serra got out of the Speeder after parking it at the far side of the mansion. Padme parked alongside her and glanced at Serra, "Tell Han and Chewie to get the kids into the Speeders we will go take care of your dad in the meantime."
Serra nodded and Ran towards her bedroom where Han and Chewie were waiting. She threw Han a blaster, "Get them loaded up in the speeders Han and take a couple of grenades."
Han nodded and clipped two grenades to his belt and with the help of Chewie herded the three children towards the pair of waiting Speeders.
Padme and Serra then headed into the house and towards Cay's office. At the same time they heard footsteps and Padme took a peek ahead of her from doorway that they were hiding in, "There are two of his men walking towards us I will take the one on the left you take the one on the right," said Padme as she fingered her blaster.
Serra nodded eagerly.
Within moments the two women came into the hallway and fired upon the unprepared guards killing them both instantly.
Cay was baffled he had heard blaster fire inside of his house. He glanced at his wife, "On the ground Mara something is going on."
"Something is Cay I couldn't agree more," said Mara with a smile that caused Cay to feel fear as the door of his office opened revealing Padme and Serra clad in white Bodysuits for battle with blasters pointing at him. "We have you now Cay if you want to live through the night you will do exactly as I tell you," stated Padme in anger. Cay looked at Padme uneasily as she came around his desk and opened his drawer and pulled out his blaster. Cay frowned realizing that he had no way out., "What do you want? I can give you money or anything Please."
Padme pulled out an envelope, "These are Mara's divorce Papers that I obtained on Praesitlyn you can sign them to start with."
Cay frowned and then noticed the grenades that were on Mara and Padme's belts.
He noticed Padme finger a grenade, "Lets not let things blow up either now."
Cay nodded and signed the paper fearfully as Padme spoke, "Now open up the safe."
Cay looked at Padme fearfully, "If you join me as a business partner I will give you millions. I will give you anything you want. Please stop this."
Padme shook her head as Cay looked at Mara, "I will give you half of my wealth and the divorce."
Mara shook her head, "No I want this too Cay."
Cay as a last resort looked at Serra, "I won't make you marry Reliaz and I will let you keep your child."
"Sorry Dad but you tried to kill her twice and I am dying for revenge," said Serra as she moved in close to him, "We don't want you going for the gun that you keep in there against the wall!"
Serra then looked at her mother, "Mom watch him."
Mara nodded and picked up the confiscated blaster from the floor as Cay opened his Safe.
Padme then saw Cay take out four control Pads, "These are the transmitters for you and your brats as well as Solo's."
Padme nodded and fired a blaster on each pad with a smile, "I don't just want ours Cay I want the control to every slave that you have in that vineyard."
"But that would ruin my operation here if they ran."
"The price of your greed and evil Cay. Now move out of my way but first take out all of the credits from that safe."
Cay nodded obediently realizing that he was caught.
Serra then spoke, "Now lets talk about how this ends you useless old man. Twenty some years ago Cay Karis went to the house of my selfish Grandparents whom forced her to marry him because of the money that they would gain from the marriage. You in turn abused her, beat and you raped her. You raped your own wife you sick bastard and had various affairs on her over the years with prostitutes and slave girls. You lost your life and sealed your fate old man the day that my mother's enslavement to you started."
Padme shook her head, "We aren't killing him Serra it would be Murder."
"Your Letting him live?" asked Serra. Padme nodded and glared at Cay, "If you ever come near us again I will kill you myself remember that."
Padme then looked at the pile of Credits on the floor. She scooped up several hundred thousand credits and glared at Cay, "This is my and Han's pay for our four years of service. Now we are even. Now as for the safe..." Padme smiled and pulled out a concussion grenade and activated it and placed it inside and sealed the safe shut. "The safe will protect most of the explosion but just stay back Cay Move against that Wall."
Cay obeyed as Padme fired her blaster which she had set on stun, "He should be out for a few minutes now lets go!" stated Padme as the floor shook from the explosion that was inside of the safe.
Padme then ran with Serra and Mara towards their waiting Speeders.
"Han and Chewie will drive the droids with you Mara and Serra and I are taking the children."
Mara nodded but then to her horror heard blaster fire.
Padme immediately pulled out her blaster knowing that Serra was following suite. The pair fired upon six guards that she noticed had Han and Chewie cornered with the children. Padme at the same time noticed three bodies on the ground. There was no doubt that Han knew how to kill.
Padme and Serra pounced upon the unsuspecting guards and fired upon them. Within seconds the six guards were dead. Padme at the same time noticed a swarm of thugs running up the hallway behind her. She pulled out a grenade and activated it before tossing it into the hall. She then heard an explosion followed by screams and moans of death.
Padme, Then led her team of escapees and they ran for their speeders only to their horror to see around twenty guns trained on them. At that Moment Cay came out from behind them with a smile, "I have you now but I have an offer for you Padme. Join my team with that kid and you two will be well paid because your more valuable I can see as a fighter than as a mere slave girl."
Padme shook her head, "I am sorry but I must decline."
"Than you will die and know that..."
Cay's words trailed off and to his horror all twenty blasters left the hands of his men and went flying into a nearby wall. Padme looked to see a dark hooded figure with a blue lightsaber emerge out of the dark, "You have no Idea who you are messing with. That woman and her children are far more important than your wealth Karis or your pathetic life. They are the only beings alive that can kill Palpatine."
Padme gasped in shock realizing that this Jedi knew who Luke and Leia's father was to her horror.
The man then turned to the thugs, "Walk away or die."
The men glanced at one another in shock thinking that the man was crazy and moved for their blaster pistols only to see the dark figure advance upon them. Padme and Serra moved to cover their children's eyes as the unknown man cut through the thugs effortlessly allowing a mix of heads and limbs to rain down to the ground. The man then headed for Cay as he unhooded, Padme gasped in shock when she realized that the man was none other than Cade Jade.
"If you value your life you won't take me on Cay. I am taking your daughter and my child along with Padme's chidlren and their friends. You can either accept it or be destroyed. Its your choice but I warn you not to underestimate my powers as they just did and I don't have time for this Vader is on us right now."
Cay frowned and at the same time he heard blasterfire erupting form nearby the entrance of his vineyard. Padme looked and noticed several white armored stormtroopers along with a Dark armored figure storming towards the house that he realized to his horror was the notorious Darth Vader.
"Get the children into the seats I sense that he is after Cay and you as well," stated Cade
Cay looked in horror, "Please take me with you."
Padme smiled, "You will have to find your own way out of here Cay if you want to leave," said Padme as she kicked Cay in the groin.
Padme then moved to strap the twins into the Speeder while Serra was doing the same for her daughter.
Cay looked at one of his headmen as he ran for his life, "Kel take whatever men aren't fighting the Imperials Padme and my daughter do not leave this planet no matter what. Get me out of here."
Kel nodded and motioned to twelve of the remaining thugs, "Go for the garage everyone else will fight Vader."
Vader stormed towards Cay Karis but at the same time noticed his wife whom was with with two redheaded women along with a young boy and Wookiee all getting into the speeders to escape. He looked at the man accompanying them, Cade Jade, a Jedi Knight that he had always respected and liked. Cade was a few years older than him and never had been as critical of him as the other Padawans had been in the days of his youth.
Cade glanced at Serra, "Get to the speeders!"
Cade then moved and advanced upon Vader swinging his blade in attack as Vader attacked in response. The Jedi Knight knew that he couldn't win but that he couldn't lose. He struggled against Vader realizing just how powerful he was. At the same time he sensed something in the massively armored being that shocked him. "Anakin?"
Vader spoke in anger, "That name no longer has any meaning for me Jade."
Cade frowned and at the same time noticed that Padme and Han had their speeders started. He force Jumped into the speeder with Han and Chewie as Vader looked on. "After them, do not let the escape I want them alive!"
In response two Imperial Speeders headed after them.
At the same time Vader saw Malen and Shmi drive a speeder off in pursuit of Cay whom had left with two Rodian thugs.
Vader then turned to Colonel Veers, "Kill anyone that resists and free any of the slaves here. Divide the man's wealth amongst them and burn his house. In fact burn it all!"
"Yes my Lord," replied Veers with a smile.
Vader then Jumped into his Speeder as they drove off after Padme and her gang.
Padme frowned as she looked to her side and noticed a Speeder with around six of Cay's thugs. "Serra start shooting at them."
Serra nodded and pulled out her blaster and began to fire upon the men.
Vader noticing that his wife was under attack spoke to his pilot, "Tell the men to attack those thugs."
"Yes sir!"
Padme and Serra watched with delight as a Speeder that was full of Stormtroopers flew up alongside the thugs and opened fire. Within moments Cay's men were gone.
At the same time they noticed Cade throw one of Han's grenades at the remaining Speeder that belonged to Cay's men.
She also noticed the debris from the Speeder raining upon the Speeder that contained a group of Stormtroopers that was on their trail.
At the same time Padme looked at the Speeder of Stormtroopers that was alongside her. She increased the speed and activated a grenade before throwing it. To her delight it hit their engine causing it to ignite with the troopers inside of the speeder incinerating in the explosion. The Debris rain forced Vader's Speeder to alter course and it gave her enough time for her and Han to make a high altitude clim that would slow Vader down, hopefully. They shut off their headlights and drove blind as they made a dive towards Theed knowing that Vader was on them and determined to lose them. Once they came to ground level Padme made another climb noticing that Vader was following. It was all that she needed. She threw another Grenade and Vader and a few of the Stormtroopers had just enough time to jump but the pilot wasn't so lucky. Padme smiled as they drove off. That would stall Vader for now, she thought.
Malen and Shmi smiled together as they pursued Cay Karis in the Imperial Speeder that Vader had provided. Cay hadn't even noticed that he was being followed. Not to mention how he had left his thugs to die for him like a true coward. With Colonel Veers and the Troopers of the 501st it had been easy to take them all no doubt. Now Malen was upon Cay and his last two remaining thugs, which were two heavily armed Rodians all of whom were doomed and they had no idea, Malen glanced at Shmi as they stopped their speeder a distance from the docking bay, "Do you have your weapons ready?"
Shmi nodded with a smile and together Father and Daughter headed after Cay creeping towards him as he approached his secret Hanger. Shmi unslung her sniper rifle and positioned herself in a hidden location as her father headed for Cay. She fired one shot and dropped the lead Rodian instantly and as the second Rodian turned to return fire as she released two more shots dropping him along with his comrade. Cay picked up the blaster rifle from the fallen thug only to have Shmi fire upon him forcing him to drop it to the ground.
Shmi smiled as she saw the Ship's crew come running down the boarding ramp with weapons. This was easy, she thought as she watched her father emerge with a high powered automatic blaster in hand and begin to fire upon them with ease as she added in her blaster fire. She saw her father throw a Grenade into the Ship's hull, something that he often did on jobs like this and saw an explosion knowing that the job was done.
Cay looked up at the heavily armed man in horror realizing that he was a bounty hunter of sorts. "Please whatever Vader is paying you I will double."
Malen shook his head, "Not after hearing about how you enslaved a woman and her two newborn children. Any Man like you deserves Vader's wrath."
Cay trembled as Shmi emerged from her hiding place, "That was fun Dad."
Malen shook his head, "You know that your not supposed to take so much pleasure in killing Shmi."
"They are scum though."
Malen nodded, "Get up Karis Vader has a lot to discuss with you."
Cay looked at Malen fearfully as he felt the cold steel binders enclose his wrists.
Malen then shoved him towards his speeder.
Theed:
Padme and her team arrived in Theed and parked in a nearby Alley to plan their next move, "R2 has a map of the secret passage to the Palace that is on the waterfall side. We can enter it like I did during the battle of Naboo and steal a ship."
Cade nodded noticing that Han and Chewie were a distance away with the Children, "Padme those are Anakin Skywalker's children aren't they?"
Padme nodded as Cade spoke, "I figured it out when I arrived and sensed them not to mention how Vader is pursing them."
Padme nodded, "That is why you said that they were much more important than Cay."
Cade nodded, "Correct, There is more Padme that you need to explain about who Vader really is."
"I know nothing of who he is."
Cade frowned as he sensed sincerity in Padme's words through the Force.
"Padme tell me about where you last saw Anakin and what happened."
"I don't want to talk about it," said Padme in shame.
Cade nodded, "Whatever happened to him was pretty serious that is all I can say."
"What do you mean?" asked Padme.
"I reached out in the Force while I was fighting Vader and I sensed something that was very familiar and I figured out who he really is."
"What do you mean?" asked Padme in horror.
"I mean that Anakin is inside of that suite. What happened to him."
"No no no he couldn't have survived its impossible."
"Survived what?" asked Mara and Serra.
Padme felt tears in her eyes, "He had constant nightmares of me dying in childbirth so he joined Palpatine in a quest to save me from my dreams. Obi-Wan came to me a day later and informed me that he had turned to the Dark Side and killed all of the younglings at the temple."
Cade frowned, "Obi-Wan is alive?"
Padme nodded, "You didn't know?"
Cade shook his head, "The only Jedi that I have seen in four years Padme is me."
Padme nodded and continued, "Yoda also survived."
Padme then continued to speak, "I confronted Anakin on Mustafar and it ended with him choking me because Obi-Wan had snuck aboard my ship and he thought that I was helping Obi-Wan kill him.
"From what I know while I was out from being choked. Obi-Wan severed his limbs and he burned in molten lava and Obi-Wan left him. Obi-Wan though believed him to be dead though not alive," said Padme in tears.
Cade frowned, "If only he had been able to confide in more people. Palpatine used us all."
Padme nodded as Cade fingered his lightsaber. At the same time Han came running with the children and Chewie. "There are more of Cay's thugs I think they are the last ones."
Padme nodded as Cade moved forward at her side with Han. Together the three came out into the street. Cade within moment cuts down six men while Han and Padme shot three each. Padme looked at the last man alive whom she recognized as the overseer of the vineyards. Padme spoke, "You have been kind to me and you gave me time to be with my children. For that I want to spare your life."
The overseer nodded, his brown eyes widened in fear at the sight of the lightsaber, "I have two children of my own so I can relate."
Padme nodded, "get your family off of the planet until Vader leaves. If he finds out that you were my slave driver he will kill you and in return for my mercy never have anything to do with any of these scum bags like Cay Karis. If I catch you in this line of work again you will have to pay with your life."
The man nodded and turned and ran into the night.
Padme then looked at Cade as she noticed that he looked highly disturbed. At the same time she heard a chilling breathing sound. Cade activated his lightsaber as Han, Serra and Padme prepared their blasters. At that moment Vader appeared with Four Stormtroopers.
"Surrender now."
"Why so you can turn your children into what you are?" asked Cade in anger.
Vader felt anger surge through him, "Padme you have betrayed me."
"Your the one that choked me Anakin and the one that left me without anyone to trust causing me to fall into the slave trade and missed the first four years of their lives. I can't trust you and as long as you hunt me like an animal."
Vader felt hurt at her words and at the same time noticed that the young boy at Padme's side a moment to late had thrown a grenade. At the same time Padme followed suite and Vader was forced to retreat as Padme and the young boy dropped the Stormtroopers around him.
Cade then made his move as the Grenades exploded and made a Force jump towards Vader as they engaged one another in battle. Cade spoke, "You were the Chosen one Skywalker. You had it all. You had a wonderful wife and two children on the way but what did you do? You allowed Palpatine to manipulate you. He tore your family apart. As long as he lives your family can never have peace. You can never have them as long as he lives and you know it. You must change if you want to reclaim your wife and be the man you were meant to be."
"Enough! you have no right Jade!"
Cade shook his head, "What happened to that young Padawan that I met in the temples that had such a compassionate heart and mind? The one that helped his friends on various missions. The Padawn that once saved my life and whom fought alongside me in the Clone Wars. I know that there is good in you and your wife still loves you."
With that Cade Force Pushed Vader and Force Jumped into the waiting Speeder that Han was driving as they followed Padme.
Vader got up and ran for the speeder that he had stolen outside of the city and hastily jumped in. He would find his angel and he would make sure that she loved him and knew him. He hoped that she wouldn't run from him ever again. Why did everyone turn against him? He thought angrily. He would find her if it was the last thing he did.
Naboo: Theed: Royal Palace:
Han followed Padme and Mara as they led the way through the passage to the hanger, He tried to ignore the pain that was throughout his body from the various beatings from Cay. He feared that he had an infection from the last ones but wouldn't mention it. He had taken a beating for Luke and Leia after they had dropped a thirty year old bottle of wine that Cay considered worth more than he was once he had found Han standing above it. Han had made the twins move away and then had been beaten for them but he was fine with it especially since they were like his family.
He sighed as he followed his team, whom were in reality in his mind his family. Mara and Padme both had been mothers to him. There was not a thing that he wouldn't do for them and he knew it.
The group arrived in the Hanger and Padme headed for the control center and opened up the doors of the dark desolate hanger. Padme smiled, "The ship ahead of us is named after me we will take it."
Cade smiled, "That cruiser is a beauty indeed. Solo you get onboard and start her up we don't have much time."
Han nodded and ran up the ramp.
Padme smiled as the engines roared to life at the same time as everyone boarded she heard the sound of Vader's breathing behind her and she ran up the ramp as Han whom had obviously seen him from the Cockpit lifted off. Within moments the ship soared into the air leaving a highly angered Darth Vader behind.
Star Destroyer Exactor:
Vader headed for his Chambers in rage, He had already broken several bulkheads with his Force rage not to mention killing several officers. He headed for his chambers speaking aloud to himself, "I want her found and I want her to know her place," he screamed in anger. He headed towards his training room to spar determined to take out his anger elsewhere. He entered the Sparring Room and activated a set of training droids after removing his armor. He then deactivated safety protocols and fought the droids obliterating them instantly with his dark side energy. He then turned and left the room in rage and headed for his gym where he began to lift some weights in rage before returning to the sparring room and destroying another set of sparring droids. He was past his limit. Just then his Comlink beeped, "Lord Vader."
"Yes Captain what is it?"
"We have lost all trace of the Nabuian cruiser my lord."
"Don't mention any of this to the Emperor and try again Ozzel!" Vader then threw the comlink against the wall as it shattered into pieces. He turned and left the training room.
Nabuian Cruiser Amidala: En route to Polis Massa:
Padme glanced at Han as he piloted the ship noticing the cold sweat on his face. She placed a hand on his forehead. "Your burning up Han come with me now!"
Han nodded obediently trying to ignore the pain in his body.
Padme took Han to the small Med room and removed his shirt before scrubbing his back vigorously with Bacta. She cut open his healed wounds and cleaned them out in tears, "All for us Han how come you didn't tell me?"
"It was worth it I would do it again before I let you and the twins end up in this position." Padme looked down at Han's back in tears, "It is badly infected Han we will be at Polis Massa tomorrow and then we will get it healed." Han nodded as Padme bandaged him.
Padme saw Mara enter the room, "I will stay with him."
Padme nodded, "How about you? Any infections that I should know about?"
Mara shook her head as Padme left the room. Padme saw Serra approach her, "I have the children down and Cade and Chewbacca are piloting the ship."
Padme nodded with a frown and looked at the Caf table as Serra sat down, "What is with those Slave Bracelets? I thought I left them behind."
Serra nodded, "Things have led to this."
Serra then reached forward much to Padme's shock and clasped the slave bracelets on both of her own wrists.
Serra then moved forward and knelt down before Padme, "My life belongs to you Padme I am pledged to you for the rest of my life as your slave."
Padme looked down at Serra in horror, "What do you mean my slave?" asked Padme.
"You may have beat me and abused me in the first year of my enslavement but it is the past Serra you owe me nothing."
"You don't understand Padme," said Mara from behind her.
Padme frowned as she sat down on the couch in anger, "Understand what?"
Serra then spoke, "My mother's people have a very strict culture of honor and it is a culture that I have been taught to honor. For saving Mara back when I was going to take the abortion pills is enough to allow Mara to become your slave so I decided to take my daughter's place once we were free of my father. I just never told you that it would have to happen because I knew that you would have just remained a slave rather than own me."
Padme frowned as Serra continued knowing it was likely that she may have refused to allow all of this to happen had she known, "Then the second time when you were offered money to kill her and refused and guarded her when my Father's men were around not to mention saving me from the Forced Marriage made me even more in debt. Now Mara and I are both your slaves."
Padme looked at Serra in horror, "It has to be this way?"
Serra nodded, "My Mother is bound under the oath of her people and I took the same oath when I was a child. If I break the oath I will be hunted and killed and so will Mara and my mother is bound to kill us by the laws of the code or to report us. I know it is hard for you to accept but it must be if I am to live."
Padme felt tears in her eyes. She thought for a moment, Have a slave to protect her life? To her it seemed wrong yet letting Serra die just because she despised slavery and didn't respect her culture would be something that she could never do.
She frowned, "Ok but you won't endure the treatment that I endured and I will never be able to fully accept this."
Serra nodded, "I know Padme but it is what has to happen."
"I want you to be able to be with Cade like you deserve."
"Who says that I can't? I am sure something can be worked out to where I spend some days with him or whatever. It looks like we will be together now for a long time anyways."
Padme nodded and looked down at the young girl sadly, "I am so sorry Serra I don't want this to be your fate your only twenty and now this."
Serra shook her head, "Don't be sorry I'm not. It is well deserved."
Padme frowned noticing Serra still on her knees, "You can rise Serra and never kneel before me like that again."
Serra nodded, "As you wish."
Padme then spoke, "I don't want Mara to be a slave all of her life, She will be in school and be raised like a normal child."
Serra nodded, "No matter what by the time that she is fifteen she must either belong to you or one of your children it is the law."
Padme frowned, "Will her children be bound too?"
"Only until they are adults and able to be on their own."
Padme nodded in shame, "I don't like this. Wouldn't you rather die?"
"Not if it means losing my child. Would you have lived your life as a slave or condemned your children?"
"Lived my life as a slave," stated Padme.
Serra nodded, "I will do a lot for you since you taught me how to cook and all. I will also be a nanny to your children and anything that you need."
Padme frowned, "I know it will be just like having a handmaiden only this one is bound to me for life."
Serra looked at Padme sincerely , "I am fine with it Padme I promise you that."
Padme looked at Serra , "I know but It still doesn't mean that I like it."
Serra nodded in silence.
Serra then turned to head for the cockpit of the ship. She was Padme's slave now for life. It was just for what she had done to Padme. She wanted to feel everything that Padme felt even though she knew that Padme was going to treat her like a sister and not a slave. After beating Padme twice not to mention slapping her and giving her heavy workloads during the time that she was struggling with her newborn twins it was well deserved. She almost felt like dressing in a scanty skirt and revealing shirt like what Padme had worn just to feel more humiliation like what Padme endured though she knew that Padme wouldn't allow it. Padme was a better woman than her and Padme would never allow her to be humiliated or beaten for no reason.
Serra smiled and headed into the Cockpit and found Cade next to Chewie.
Cade smiled and kissed her, "I didn't know if you loved me or not four years ago Serra but I love you."
Serra nodded, "I love you too Cade. I have some explaining to do though that may make you think less of me."
Cade nodded, "Go ahead."
Serra nodded, "My culture has a strict debt honor code and Padme has saved our daughter's life twice."
"Twice?" asked Cade.
Serra nodded, "She saved me from taking abortion pills that my father gave me and she declined when my father offered her five million credits and freedom and so based on those actions and the oath that my mother had me take when I was young I am her slave now for life."
Cade frowned, "How does she feel?"
"She only accepted it because if she didn't it would cost me my life. Because breaking the oath means certain death."
Cade nodded, "What does she say about me and you?"
"She wants us to be together and happy but also Mara belongs to her under this law."
Cade frowned, but nodded, "Perhaps I can be exchanged in place of our daughter."
Serra shook her head, "Although your Mara's father you would still be considered an outsider since you aren't of our blood Cade it wouldn't work."
Cade then spoke, "I will still be there for you and Mara I promise you Serra."
Serra nodded and kissed Cade, "I am tired Cade lets get some sleep."
Cade nodded and followed Serra towards their quarters.
Padme headed into the Queen's quarters of the ship and crawled on top of the massive bed at the same time that she noticed Serra and Cade heading for their room. She was exhausted and was determined to get some sleep. She crawled into the bed and closed her eyes feeling freedom for the first time in four years and feeling like a person again. Her four year hell had finally ended.
She sighed, What would she do about Serra? Serra would never be able to enjoy freedom again. And sweet little Mara? Little Mara too? Little Mara would grow up learning that her and Mommy were slaves to Padme because she had saved their lives. She sighed as she helplessly closed her eyes, All because of some barbaric culture and stupid oath Serra and Mara had lost their freedom. She would make sure that she treated Serra like she had Dorme and all of her handmaidens and She would provide Serra and Mara with whatever they needed or wanted in their lives. To her they were her responsibility not her possessions or bonded servants. She would make sure that they knew it too.
Yes as you can see the tables have turned Cay is going to suffer for daring to so much as raise a hand to Padme or even lust after her. Serra and Mara are bound to Padme for life which will mean that Serra's loyalties are strictly to Padme and no one else.
Now I will have more up soon. Thank you again everyone whom has read this or reviewed it.
