You are with him!

No!

You brought him here to kill me!

No, Anakin, I would never-

Liar! You have betrayed me!

Padme's eyes popped open as she awoke from a deep sleep her hands immediately going to her throat as she tried to remove hands which were not there to begin with. Rationally she realized that she had been experiencing a nightmare, but the images along with the feelings, had been so strong and so real it was hard to tell the difference. Even though the dream was quickly fading from her mind, the feelings remained between like a ghost wanting to haunt her.

It was odd because what she could remember of the dream didn't make any sense at all to the pregnant woman. She remembered heat all around as it caressed her flesh. The heat of course was coming from the planet itself considering it had been a lava planet. She recalled seeing Anakin's face contorted in to a mask of utter and complete rage. In her dream he must have been angry with her for some unknown reason. She almost recalled seeing the one called Obi-Wan and the reason she found that to be strange was because he actually appeared to be worried about her and if what her husband was telling her about the Jedi to be true then shouldn't he have lacked the concerned expression? Finally she chalked up to her mind working overtime and creating odd scenarios in her dreams because she did not, for one second, believe that could be a memory.

"Padme?" Anakin mumbled her name as he blinked tiredly before sitting up. He had been in a peaceful when suddenly, out of the blue, he was hit with her anxiety and fear. It had been strong enough to pull him out of slumber. "What is wrong my love? You are shaking and your emotions are in extreme turmoil. Are you in pain? Is something wrong with the baby? Is it time?"

She shook her head trying to figure out the best possible way to explain her dream without worrying him. "I'm fine Ani I promise you. I just had a bad nightmare. It is nothing that you need to worry about."

"You don't seem fine." Her husband pointed out as he let his eyes roam over her face for a second time as she took in her look of fear. That must have been some nightmare to get this sort of reaction from her. "Tell me about your dream. It may help you to relax if you talk about it."

Padme bit her bottom lip as she looked down at her hands which were currently folded and resting in her lap. "It was only a dream. It is not anything we have to worry about. I did not mean to wake you. You need not worry about me. I will be fine in a few minutes."

Anakin grasped her chin between three of his fingers. "You could never lie to me in the past and you are having no better success now. Whatever your nightmare was about is obviously bothering you. When I was having dreams about my mother you would make me talk about them and now I am reversing it and making you talk to me. Please Padme, I can see how shaken up you are. Talk to me, you know you can talk to me."

"I only remember bits and pieces." She told him honestly knowing that if she did not open up he would just keeping pushing until she did and this way it would save time and effort. "I remember a lava planet with heat so intense I thought for sure my skin was going to boil off. I remember feeling frightened. It was probably the worst fear I have ever felt. In my dream Obi-Wan was there and you were as well. The two of you were arguing, but I couldn't make out the words. I had this roaring in my ears that just would not subside. It's strange because in my dream it is almost as if I am looking at you from a position where I am laying down, but I can't move and I feel as if I am suffocating. That is all I really remember of the dream before I woke up. What do you think it means?"

The former Jedi was quiet for a few moments. He knew that he could not tell his wife the truth. She would be devastated to learn that her nightmare had actually taken place. It would break any trust they had gained since she lost her memories. Anakin knew that he would have to think of some way to turn this in his favor. He needed to make it appear as if this was some Jedi mind trick or something similar. "Dreams do not always have to mean something my love. Usually they are created by the subconscious in order to deal with stressful situations in your life, but I do know that this was no ordinary nightmare. The Jedi have many talents and I think that Obi-Wan is using your dreams to try and turn you against me. He has always had an obsession with you and I never wanted to believe it because I thought him to be my friend, he was like a father to me in some ways. I realize now that he will do whatever he must to tear us apart. I wish that I could protect you from your dreams, but some things are out of my reach for the time being."

The former queen of Naboo shuttered at the mere thought of someone invading her dreams and manipulating them to work in their favor. Curling closer to her husband she wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders. "I know that you would never hurt me Ani. I have been doing a lot of thinking and as much as I hate the idea of war I have come to see that there is no other option. If we have to fight the Jedi to ensure a peaceful and safe life for not only our child, but every child in the galaxy, then I am willing to fight alongside you. I will do whatever it takes to make this galaxy a place worth living in."

AN: I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter and I know it was not the greatest, but I am still not feeling well and so I put it up anyways because it kind of works for a filler chapter. A lot of you are torn between wanting Anakin to turn good, wanting him to turn evil, or wanting Padme to turn to the side of the Sith. I love hearing your thoughts so keep them coming.

Please R&R like always!
