Warning there will be some graphic torture scenes involving Cay and Vader.
Cay looked at the Dark Lord in horror as he entered the room. Vader then spoke, "Your estate was burned and all of your slaves were freed. Now it is time for me to serve out to you the fate that you deserve.
Cay looked up at Vader in horror. "You have signed your death warrant Karis for enslaving my wife and children. Your going to die today and it will be nice and slow." Cay trembled as Vader raised his hand. His throat began to constrict but to his shock Vader stopped.
Vader then removed his mask and watched as Cay's eyes widened in recognition, "Y-Your Anakin Skywalker."
"I was and that name no longer has any meaning for me. And Padme is my wife whom was kidnapped years ago and Luke and Leia are my children and for abusing my wife and children you are going to die."
Cay trembled, "P-Please Lord Vader don't do this. I didn't know that they were your family."
"Or you would have given them to me. Had you known that this was going to happen you would have done things differently. Scum like you are caught for a reason.
"If you knew that you were going to suffer for your actions you would have chosen a different slave. I will tell you Karis that the reason none of you scum know the future is so that you can suffer the consequences," stated Vader grimly
Vader then smiled and removed the glove off of his left hand released a storm of Force lightning from his flesh hand as Cay screamed he gestured to the IT0 droid and within moments the droid began to tear his flesh.
Vader smiled as he watched Cay scream as his flesh was torn on his back, chest and limbs by the Droid's pincers. Vader then released a torrent of Force lightning on Cay's open wounds that blackened his flesh as Veers approached him, "I found this whip in his office and I am guessing that he used it for his slaves."
Vader probed Cay's vulnerable mind in rage before turning back to Veers whom did his best not to show his fear at the sight of Vader's yellow eyes.
"He beat my wife with it too and he has raped his own wife. I am probing his mind. His wife has allowed herself to be raped to protect my wife from him along with all of the other female slaves that would accept her protection. Not to mention that she shielded my son and daughter from his beatings and the boy that protected them when she was able to." Vader then moved to a position behind Cay and raised the whip and swung it causing him to scream, "A fourteen year old didn't scream when this penetrated his flesh he is much more of a man than you." Vader then whipped Cay using his Mechanical hand to increase the pressure and applying various doses of Force Lightning that sizzled his open flesh.
Cay couldn't believe it, His mother had warned him that being so greedy and selfish would bring him to a bad end the day that she had disowned him and now here he was being killed slowly all because he had hurt the wrong man's family. He screamed as the whip penetrated the flesh on his back for what he guessed was the hundredth time.
"P-please Lord Vader I will give you millions."
Vader smiled, "Just as my wife told you I don't need anything from you. It is funny how you tried to recruit her in hopes of gaining more wealth and you hoped that by bribing her that you would be able to regain your wife and daughter. Unlike all of the other politicians my wife is incorruptible."
"I-I have a beautiful daughter."
"Who's child you were going to kill. I don't want your daughter I have Padme and she is the only woman that I could ever want."
Cay let out another scream, Of course any man would be happy with Padme. "You are one dam lucky man. She believes you to be dead and has vowed celibacy for the rest of her days but if you find her I am sure that you will be able to have her sweet body again since your the only man that she will allow to have her."
Vader moved face to face with Cay let out a hard whip lash on Cay's face, "You think that all I care about is sex? I am not you and my wife is not a possession. I love her way more for who she is than for what she can give me like a true husband should."
Cay screamed in pain from the lash that had hit his face.
He screamed as his back was penetrated yet again by the whip.
Vader looked at Cay's back with a smile, There were even broken bones no doubt There wasn't a spot on his back that didn't have a laceration. He walked around Cay and began to whip his chest. After a long time of that and noticing the growing pool of blood he released another dose of Force lightning out of his flesh hand.
"Vader please y-you don't want to do this. I-I beg you."
Vader merely smiled, "After reading your mind and seeing how you lusted after my wife you expect my mercy? Or how you beat her and slapped her? No one raises a hand to my wife and lives to tell about it. Not to mention how you beat the boy that protected her. I am Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith and your tormenter."
Vader then raised his whip and aimed it at Cay's face. After a few moments he released more lightning before finishing the whipping noticing how disfigured his face was. Cay was also blinded from the whip and lightning, no doubt.
"You even tried to murder your own granddaughter you are about as down on the bottom of the scum level as scum gets."
"I offered your wife her freedom. Please just stop I beg you."
"By sleeping with you which she refused or by murdering an infant child which she would never do and you raped your own wife. You sick bastard No man ever rapes his own wife or raises a hand to her," said Vader as he thought in shame at how he had choked his wife. He still had never raped his wife though and no man deserved to live that had done such a thing to their own wife or to any woman.
"There were times that she said no though."
"She's your wife she has the right to say that she isn't in the mood. If my wife told me no I would stop. You are an animal and you are paying for it right now," replied Vader in disgust towards Cay for such an attitude towards his own wife.
Cay choked on his own blood and agony as Vader used the Force to release his bonds and moved forward with a smile, "It is over this is for my angel and for my children and for Mara and the boy."
"P-Please Vader," said Cay as blood came out of his torn up mouth. Vader smiled and picked him up by the throat with his mechanical hand and squeezed his neck until it snapped before turning to Veers, "Have him hung up at the gates to his estate and then burn what is left of his place if any of it survived the fire that you had the men set." Veers nodded as Vader placed his helmet on his head and left him. He looked down at the mangled torn up corpse in disgust, This Man had deserved his torment and death death, Beating a woman and her kids was wrong not to mention raping your own wife. Any man like that deserved death. Veers cringed, If The Emperor knew that Vader's wife was alive all hell would break loose. He would keep his mouth shut and support his Commander. He knew that Vader trusted him highly and he wouldn't forsake that trust.
Alderaan:
Obi-Wan walked through the Corridors of the Palace and saw Bail sitting in his office, "Here is a message from Padme." Obi-Wan nodded and watched as a life size image of the young former Senator materialized she looked very much the same only more grim and sad.
"I am certain you have worried about me. The truth is that all of you lost my trust Bail after Learned of your intentions to steal my babies, My last living piece of Anakin. I went on the run and that night I was kidnapped by pirates with Luke and Leia. They took me and sold me as a slave. The only reason Luke, Leia and I got through our enslavement without being beaten constantly or raped was because of a fourteen year old orphan slave named Han Solo that protected us and a the ex wife of our owner whom was tormented every night in my place when it should have been me.
"Our owner, Cay tried to rape me. Han and his wife managed to prevent him from getting me by getting in his way and by taking beatings in place of me. With the help if his rebellious daughter and ex wife as well as Han and a Wookiee and last but not Least Jedi Knight Cade Jade we escaped.. If it wasn't for Han and Mara I may be the man's sex slave or even a rape victim with multiple attackers. I am squarely placing the blame for Anakin's fall as well as the enslavement of me and my babies on the Jedi Order and mainly on Yoda. I will not have my children forced to become Jedi and be denied the love of a woman or man that they love. If it wasn't for the dammed code Anakin would be with me raising our four year olds instead of me being a single mother."
Obi-Wan then glanced at Bail, "She seems fairly bitter."
"Can you blame her?" Obi-Wan frowned as Bail continued, "We need to tell her that Anakin is Darth Vader. She should know."
"We don't even know where she is."
"Then find her do your best." Obi-Wan nodded and left Bail with a frown on his face at the new turn of events. He didn't like the current situation one bit.
Dantooine:
Padme had just landed the Amidala in a good hidden area. She headed for her quarters noticing that Serra was waiting for her, "I have a gown laid out let me help you dress and assist you with your hair."
Padme smiled, "Thank you Serra."
Serra nodded and got to work. Padme was in shock, For a girl that had had everything given to her her entire life not to mention having people waiting on her Serra was doing an excellent job. In fact it almost shocked her because it was as though the girl had been a servant for her entire life. Serra assisted her in buttoning her dress. She did her hair like an expert and had it all up before handing Padme a purse. "How did you learn to do hair like that?"
"I've been practicing with Leia's hair. Since the day that you saved Mara when you weren't around. I pretty much planned on this from that day on."
Padme frowned, "You act like you've done it all of your life."
"And I will be doing it all of my life Padme I belong to you and so does Mara. I will teach Mara when she is older and she will be Leia's handmaiden."
Padme frowned, "She shouldn't be forced to be bound to Leia and I like this she is an innocent child."
"It is the law of my people Padme there is nothing that will change that."
"There has got to be a way to change it," stated Padme.
Serra shook her head, "You have the right to say who I can marry and who I can't and the same for Mara. In fact you can have Mara marry Luke if you wanted."
Padme shook her head, "I will do none of those things, however as your mistress I do forbid you to marry Palo."
Serra looked at Padme with a smile, "Thank you for saying that."
Padme smiled at Serra and hugged her, "I want you to understand how much you mean to me Serra. When I look at you I don't see a young girl who is bound to me for life or a slave or a possession I see you and I love you like a younger sister."
Serra looked at Padme in tears as Padme spoke, "You only had a brother but not a Sister but I want to be a Sister to you."
Serra felt more tears come out of her eyes. She had known that Padme was going to treat her well and she had known this from the day that her fate had been sealed but this woman wanted her? A spoiled arrogant young brat like her was wanted? Padme, a great and noble Senator wanted her?
Serra smiled at Padme and as she felt Padme's embrace.
"Since you belong to me another rule is that you have access to any of my clothes anytime and you will not dress in rags like a slave you will have the same things that I have. Mara will have the same and equal care that Luke and Leia have and you will be a mother to her just as I am to my babies."
Serra smiled at Padme and Padme then placed a hand on the slave bracelets on her wrists, "You don't have to wear those Serra."
Serra shook her head, "No I must. You had to and so must I and they are also a symbol of who my loyalties are to since you wore them once too."
Padme nodded and then turned and left the room to prepare to face the realtors
Serra watched Padme go with a heavy heart. She was a lucky girl. She was bonded to a woman whom would never abuse her power and she knew it. Ironic she thought, Four years ago Padme was a handmaiden to her and she was thinking of how little Leia would be her child's handmaiden now the tables were turned and she was Padme's handmaiden and her child would be Leia's handmaiden. It was just for her arrogance and attitude. She had been changed for the better, she thought as she left Padme's room.
Padme arrived in the ship's kitchen and put together a simple breakfast for everybody. After eating she looked at Han, "I want you to go into the city with me today I need a good gunman and you will work."
Han nodded as Padme glanced at Serra, "You stay with everyone else and the twins until we return."
Serra nodded as Padme left.
Padme gave little Mara and her grandmother a hug before leaving the ship
and heading into the city and finding a real estate office.
She quickly after an hour found what she wanted, A twelve bedroom house with its own hanger and swimming pool not to mention that it was outside of a good small village and that it had hiking paths and it was right by a lake. She paid eight million for the Place and then headed back to her ship with Han.
She looked at everyone, "Ok we have a place."
Cade nodded, "Do you have data on it?"
Padme nodded and threw Cade a datapad, "Go ahead and strap in Han and I are gonna take us there."
Cade nodded and Padme then headed for the Cockpit with Han.
She Then flew the Ship to her new hanger and the group landed successfully.
Padme smiled as she led everyone into the massive house. "You can pick out your own rooms. There are plenty of Rooms. However Mara gets first pick since she is the eldest."
Mara merely smiled and picked out a room that had a porch overlooking the lake that wasn't far from the master bedroom where Padme would sleep.
Serra picked a room for her and Cade that was across from Mara's bedroom and put little Mara in a room with the twins that was not far from her room so that she could tend to them in the mornings and be ready to take care of them. Han picked a room farther down the Hallway and the same was for Chewie.
"I am glad that this place is already furnished," stated Cade.
Padme nodded, "There is also a Gym that you can use for the twins. A shooting range in the basement and several safes that we can conceal weapons in."
Cade smiled, "Good now as for the twins and Mara do you have plans?"
Padme nodded, "I want to get them all enrolled in preschool."
"Mara too?" asked Serra.
Padme nodded, "She isn't to be denied a proper education and life. We will enroll them soon. I will look into it. Then as for their training. That will all be for you to decide Cade."
Cade nodded with a smile.
Padme toured the house in silence before walking inside to face everyone, "I have beds and some other things for the children that will be here in around an hour. Han, Chewie and Cade can set it up."
"Who is going to start dinner?" asked Mara
"Serra and I will," replied Padme.
Mara nodded as Padme and Serra headed to the kitchen. The laughter and giggling of the two women was heard throughout the massive house as they cooked together.
Star Destroyer Exactor:
As Vader left the Interrogation chambers his Comlink buzzed, "What is it?" he asked in anger.
"Sorry to disturb you my Lord but a man named Ruwee Naberrie just approached our ship in a small starfighter demanding to talk to you. We tractor beamed him and detained him."
Vader nodded, "Send him to my Conference room alone Captain."
"As you wish sir."
Vader then stormed towards his Conference room noticing Malen and Shmi inside. "We were just about to leave Anakin I just wanted to tell you."
"Very well Padme's father just came onboard demanding to speak to me uninvited."
Malen frowned, "I am going to stick around for this."
At that moment Malen watched as an angry looking middle aged man was led in by a pair of Stormtroopers. "Remove his binders and after we are done he will be allowed to take his ship back down to the surface just wait outside so you can escort him back," stated Vader.
The troops obeyed at once and left as Vader looked at Ruwee, "What can I do for you Mister Naberrie?"
"Give me an explanation for why the hell you were chasing my daughter and her two children throughout Naboo and why she was in the slave trade."
Before Vader could speak Malen spoke, "From what we know she was kidnapped by Pirates four years ago and sold into the trade. She was bought by Cay Karis from whom she just escaped from."
Ruwee looked at Malen finding that he liked the man before glaring at Vader. "And what gives you the right to chase my daughter and her children?"
"I have every right I am well above the Laws Naberrie and as a Father I have rights to my children."
"Your children?" asked Ruwee.
"I am the father," stated Vader.
Ruwee stood up in anger, "You sadistic monster you raped her! I will make sure that you pay for this outrage!" screamed Ruwee as he moved forward. At that moment Vader raised his hand and Ruwee's throat began to constrict. "Do not ever accuse me of raping my wife I would never do such a thing."
Malen glared at Vader, "Let him go Anakin he is your father in law and if this is the best interaction that you can have with him we have a lot to work on."
Vader released Ruwee in anger as Ruwee looked at him in shock, "Anakin?"
"Take off the dam Helmet," stated Shmi angrily.
Vader glared at his cousin and then nodded he stood up and removed the helmet. Ruwee gasped in shock and horror at the yellow eyes that had replaced Anakin's blue eyes. He watched as the Yellow slowly left his eyes revealing his natural blue.
"We were married right after the Battle of Geonosis. From what I know she was kidnapped on the first Empire Day and sold into slavery Cay Karis though paid dearly for his mistreatment of her."
Ruwee glared at Vader, "You're her husband and you failed to protect her. What kind of man are you?"
"I was in a terrible accident the day that it happened Naberrie. I didn't even know until recently that I had twins. I had both of my legs and my arm severed. I burned in molten lava on Mustafar so as you can imagine I was nowhere near capable of protecting her. I was told that she died by the Emperor after I came around and I only learned the truth after visiting her grave."
Ruwee frowned, "So what did you do after that?"
"I hired Malen here who I also learned is my long lost Uncle to find her and he is the one that traced her to Karis."
Ruwee frowned, "I want to see the bastard. Did he rape her?"
Vader shook his head, "He tried but his wife and some boy got in his way every time that he tried. He did beat her though and he whipped her. He also beat the kids a couple of times."
Ruwee felt rage inside of him, "Let me see this bastard so I can teach him what happens to you when you raise a hand to my daughter."
Vader laughed wickedly, "You will be beating a dead corpse. I took good care of him. Drive by his estate on Naboo and you will see what is left of his corpse his death was nice and slow and he begged for mercy like a Nemoidian."
Ruwee frowned, "What of my daughter?"
"I am going to find her and make sure that she doesn't run from me."
"You mean that you are going to find her and apologize to her for not listening and kneel before her and beg for forgiveness," stated Malen from behind.
Ruwee glared at Vader, "Forgiveness for what?"
"It doesn't matter."
Malen glared at Vader, "Be a man Anakin Skywalker. You are a disgrace to your mother right now. Man to man tell this man what you did to his daughter or I will."
Vader glared at his uncle. Malen then glanced at Shmi, "I want you to leave the room Shmi things are about to get ugly."
"Ok Dad," said Shmi as she left the room without questioning.
Malen then looked at Ruwee, "Let me talk for a moment."
Ruwee bit his tongue and nodded as Malen spoke, "Anakin this man is the father of your wife. You are to be held accountable to him for how you treat his baby girl. You're to apologize to him and accept his scolding and anger for times that you mistreat her."
Vader frowned as Malen continued, "I don't give a dam who you are or what powers or capabilities that you have. I was accountable to my Father in Law and even now after my wife's death I still keep in touch with him and let him see his granddaughter. I as your uncle and elder will not let you slide. Now explain to this man what happened between you and Padme. Explain now Anakin Skywalker."
Vader glared at his uncle before turning and facing Ruwee.
"The day that I killed Count Dooku Padme told me she was pregnant. It was the happiest moment of my life. Then that night I had a nightmare. She was calling out my name as she died in childbirth."
Ruwee frowned as Vader continued, "I had the dreams no one night but the next night and the other. I was determined to find the power to save her from something that obviously wasn't anything."
"So what did you do?" asked Ruwee.
"I joined Palpatine I trusted him and then after attacking the Jedi Temple Padme confronted me on Mustafar for my actions. At the same time Obi-Wan Kenobi emerged from her ship."
"Emerged?" asked Ruwee.
Vader nodded, "Now I theoretically believe that the old man snuck aboard her ship. Right then however I was just getting angry at her for questioning my actions and seeing Obi-Wan I thought that she was with him. I thought that she was cheating on me and that she had brought him to kill me."
Vader breathed in deep as Malen spoke, "Tell him what you did Anakin Skywalker."
Vader nodded and hung his head in shame. "I choked her just as I did to you in anger. She passed out..."
At that moment Vader felt a punch hit his nose and instantly he felt blood leave his nose. Ruwee glared at him, "I don't give a dam of your the Second most powerful man in the galaxy Anakin Skywalker that is unacceptable. You choked my pregnant wife I will not easily forgive you and if you ever lay a hand on my daughter or my grandchildren I will die trying to kill you."
Vader took a tissue and sponged up the blood that was coming out of his nose before glaring at Ruwee. "Be thankful that my uncle is in the room and that you're Padme's father because if you were any other man I would kill you where you sit," stated Vader in an angry tone as Ruwee stood up. "If you dare to touch her I will kill you."
Vader smiled, "I would like to see you try old man."
Malen put his hand on Ruwee's shoulder as Ruwee was about to speak, "Don't he is in a foul mood you didn't see what he did to Karis and Karis is the real monster believe me."
"What is worse than choking your own wife?" asked Ruwee in anger.
"How about raping your own wife?" asked Vader.
Ruwee glared at Vader, "What do you mean?"
"I mean Karis raped his own wife for protecting Padme and keeping Padme away from him. In fact he often raped her just because she didn't want to sleep with him."
Malen then spoke as they left Vader's office, "Do not tell anyone that your daughter is alive. If the Emperor learns he will hunt for her and the children."
"Why?" asked Ruwee.
"Because of the fact that the children are Force sensitive like their father. Also tell no one that Vader's injuries were healed."
Ruwee nodded with a frown and looked at Malen, "I have to say that I like you and thank you for helping me in there."
Malen smiled, "My pleasure Mister Naberrie I am a father too and I would be very angry and horrified if I found out that my baby girl was going through such a hell."
Ruwee nodded, "You're going to find her right?"
Malen nodded, "Let me promise you as a man and as a father that I will keep your son in law accountable and that should she tell him that she wants him to leave I will do my best to restrain him."
"You're going to take him right to her?"
Malen shook his head. "Only if she agrees. I am not your typical bounty hunter I only accept jobs that meet my meaning of justice," stated Malen.
Ruwee nodded and left Malen realizing how much he liked the hardened bounty hunter.
Correllia: One Day Later:
Malen sat inside of the cockpit of his cruiser in silence as he viewed all of the information he had gathered. He had been lucky enough to trace The trajectory of the Amidala to Correllia and had found the spot where it had landed. Padme had indeed gone into a nearby city for supplies before leaving and continuing to run. There was no doubt that she had gone into hiding. He sighed, It would take years to find a woman that was hiding from the Empire on some random planet. However the information Vader had provided him with in regards to her would hopefully help narrow down the search. He looked through her personality and one thing caught his eye, She liked the outdoors, She liked Lakes, Rivers, streams, Forests and hiking trails and grassy meadows to have picnics in. Now he could bet that wherever she went to hide she would go to a place where she could find at least some of these things. He was betting she went into the outer rim it was usually what people on the run did and at least half of his bounties he had collected in the outer rim. He smiled, He would find her in a year's time hopefully.
Dantooine:
Mara entered Padme's bedroom and noticed that she had just dressed for the day, "Padme while Serra cooks breakfast can I talk to you alone?"
Padme nodded and together the two women left the house together.
Mara breathed in deeply, How do I explain this? she thought.
"Padme I found out something on Polis Massa as you know that I had them keep secret."
Padme nodded, "I know Cade and Serra told me that they wanted me to talk to you but with settling in here I just haven't had time."
"Don't tell Serra yet please."
"I won't what is wrong Mara?"
Mara looked at Padme grimly and spoke. "I-I'm dying."
