Vader traveled back to Abaddon's home in his medium size Star Yacht, accompanied by a medical droid. It was difficult, and took several hours, but the droid was able to pull Abaddon from the clutches of death. The entire ordeal was wiped from Abaddon's memory. The medical droid was programmed to leave the house, once Abaddon was fully recovered. Once his business at the house was complete Vader left without a sound.
Now, Vader grumbled as he strode into the home he shared with Padme, and his media room, He found her pacing nervously back and forth. "Sit down, and eat Padme."
"Is he alive?" Padme asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, Abaddon is alive, that disgusting being is alive." Vader's voice was low and angry. "Now eat, Padme." Padme sat down, quickly and began to eat as promised. Vader turned and faced the wall, seething.
After several moments, Vader turned to see Padme's pate was almost full, she was moving her food around it with her fork. "Eat Padme." He demanded.
"I am eating, I don't have an appetite now." She put some food on the fork, and ate for his benefit.
"You are still very underweight."
Padme took 4 more little bites. "Sit with me?" She requested softly.
"You don't want me to sit with you right now."
"Yes I do, I would not have asked if I didn't want you to."
"No." Vader replied. Padme was taken aback, she tried to mask the disappointment she felt.
"You don't want to sit with me?"
Vader sighed, heavily. "I do. I do want to sit with you."
"Why don't you?" Padme asked.
"I can not sit with you right now!"
"Why?" She asked, her voice painfully soft and lonely.
"I am angry. Padme!" He yelled, his blue eyes turning bright red instantly. He turned back to the wall.
"At me?" She whispered. Vader concentrated on getting his eyes back to blue as Padme continued to speak. "Do you want me to leave the room? Do you want me to leave here? I won't take anything from you. I'll leave with nothing."
Vader's eyes turned back to blue. "No," He said, his voice soft, and sad. He turned away from the wall, and walked swiftly to her, sitting down beside her.
"Why are you so selfless? The things I bought for you are yours,Padme. Do you hear me they're yours! I don't want you going anywhere!" He looked deeply into her brown eyes. "I normally do not respond to ultimatums, Padme. I went back to Abaddon's home for you."
"Thank-you", Vader, she said softly, taking another 3 bites of food.
"I am Darth Vader! I see a threat and I eliminate it, I don't show mercy!"
Padme took another bite of food, and spoke. Abaddon was not a threat to you."
"He hurt you! When I walked in here you were pacing and does not deserve your time, your energy or your worry! He is a waste of life, and I helped save him!"
"You hurt him, Vader." She replied.
I sent him medical care! I did it because you said you would not eat, and I do not want to have to force feed you!"
"Thank-you."
It;s not the first time you stopped me from doing what I needed to do! You stopped me from killing Ptolemy."
"I won't apologize for that, Vader." Padme took another fork of food.
"As long as they are alive they are a threat to you, and that makes them a threat to me, Padme!"
"Don't kill them, don't hurt them!"
"Why do you care about beings who caused you so much suffering?"
"Vader, if I hurt them, have them hurt or killed, or even think about these things, I am just as horrible as they are. I chose not to be, I refuse to have blood on my hands." Padme wanted to tell Vader so much more, but, suddenly her eyes were so heavy. "Don't hurt them." She repeated, in a whisper. Something deep inside told her that Vader was listening to her, and would respect her wish. The knowledge of this, relaxed the rest of her body, her enemies as Vader called them were safe. She closed her eyes. "I'm so tired."
"Sleep Padme." Vader said, watching her drift into a peaceful sleep.
