Padmé's Sacrifice
Chapter One--

Padme,where are you? anakin said getting more worried about her. Padme please say.....(Anakin was interuppted by a small voice coming in from Padme's room).

What,Anakin,what do you want? I was just.............(interuppted again by Padme)Anakin you have to learn to depend on me instead of getting scared each time i am not near you ,you always think that i am...........

(padme did not finish her sentence and walked back right in her room frustrated) Padme, wait. Wait for what Anakin? For you. So you can protect me. No, thanks Anakin but i feel better off alone with my people in Coruscant,"padme said".
M'lady it does not always have to be this way forever.

Anakin control your feelings and just leave me alone. Your suppossed to be acting like a proper Jedi. Same for me but i am a senator and for me love will never get in my way, Anakin. Are you sure, Padme? What happens if love does come your way ,how are you going to control it?Tell me that. I dont know Anakin........
(pauses for a while with a confused mind ignoring that she was done answering the question) I just dont know.

What do you mean that you dont know, Padme? I just think that.....love will never come in my life,Ani, that is what i think. Can we just please pretend this conversation never happened,Ani.
Yes, M'lady i'll pretend that this conversation never happened.
Great, Ani........i'll just be in my room if you need anything....or if you get worried just remember i'll be right here in this same place no where else. I'll tell you if i am going to a......(Anakin interuppts) Now it seems that you are worried, M'lady. Dont worry you dont have to tell me as long as you are here i wont worry. I just worry about your safety.

Oh ........Padme?
Yes, Anakin.
Please dont call me Ani its embarrassing, Padme.
(Padme could feel herself blush).
Sorry, Ani....i mean Anakin.
Her eyes could feel Anakin watching her until she left the room. She felt that he was going to say something but she left with no response from him.

Padmé's Sacrifice
Chapter Two--

Padme thought about what happened in the room with Anakin and her until she heard a noise.
Padme saw a shadow behind the other room. Padme was getting scared of what it was but kept ignoring it. Then she heard the footsteps following her. Closer and closer.
What do you want? said Padme. Then she started to realize something wrong. Anakin was not here with Padme. She screamed and called for Anakin's help.
Anakin, Where are you? Please answer me, Anakin. No answer came.
She,then gave up and was starting to cry for help.

Then the shadow started to talk to her.
Dont be scared M'lady its only me, Anakin Skywalker. Is it? padme said.
If so ,why did you have to scare me like that Ani.

She said Ani to make Anakin mad......so he can answer back.

Padme,I'm sorry i did not...... (interuppted by Padme) Anakin you scared me. You actually believe that i wasn't. That i was going to go in your arms when you told me it was just you. Then you will be telling me that everything is all right and that you did not mean to scare me like that.
Anakin.......(her eyes started to bring tears that ran down her 2 cheeks)i just want to be left.......alone right now and think about what just happened.

Anakin touched her left cheek with his 3 fingers.......then looked down on the ground and started to walk away. Padme gently touched his shoulder for him to stop. This time Anakin was starting to cry. But the tears never came out it just filled his both eyes. They looked at each other for a while then Padme gave Anakin a kiss on the cheek.

What was that for? (a smile was beginning to show on him.) For not leaving and for..........actually protecting me and keeping me safe at all times.
I have to go Padme.
Where Anakin?
You cant leave me alone?
Not even for awhile, remember Anakin..........even Obi-Wan said it himself.
Then come with me, Padme.
I cant Ana...........(she started to walk away and did not finish her sentence) Why cant you ,Padme.
Anakin I can never dare to love a Jedi nor even start to fall in love with them.
Are you really falling in love with me Padme?
No Anakin........i'm not. Even if i did i'll never go that far. Not even with you or any Jedi.
Why?
I say it is acceptable for love to be in a Jedi's life like mine.
No anakin. They will expell you.
What happens if they find out about it Anakin?
That is living a lie that we cant keep forever Anakin.

I have to go Anakin. End of discussion. I cant talk about this anymore with you.
Why not, Padme? I just can't, Anakin.
I feel weird about it........ it just doesn't feel right,ok.

Padme walks out of the room leaving Anakin alone.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter 3

Padme began walking away where she could be alone. She began walking slowly again, then she heard footsteps. It was Anakin.

What do you want Anakin? Nothing, just checking on you to see if your ok. But can i ask you something. Yes, but make this quick Ani. Well, i accept the fact that you dont love me that way. I know you care for me and all.............

Padme speaks over and starts talking, facing Anakin.

But what Anakin?
You know my caring for you will never stop. I am glad i had meet you 10 years ago. I had formed a friendship with you.

Padme.......wait right here.

What is it Anakin?

Wait, here Padme!

Whatever it is Anakin i want to come with you.

You can't.

Why can't i Anakin?

You just can't Padme!

If you don't tell me Anakin i'll just follow you.

You know what?

What?

Sometimes there are things you can't do?

What do you mean Anakin?

I sense somebody in here.

We can't have this conversation Padme.

Why?

Padme begins to have tears running down her cheeks.

Dont cry, Padme.

I'm sorry.

It's ok Anakin. But every time i always have to have Jedi Protect me from danger. I know i am in danger Anakin......i can feel it.

Your not gonna die if thats you think.

I always know one day i am gonna die Anakin. You know i wont always win and neither will you.

What do you mean?

I am just scared. Every time a situation like this happens i always remember my first sacrifice- Naboo. But i know i should always stay strong.

I know.

Padme behind you.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Padme!

Hello Anakin Skywalker

Who are you!

The attacker- i am here to get Padme. Look at her. I can easily snatch her and run away.

You can't.

Why not?

Who are you anyway?

I cant tell you- you will tell everyone.

You know Anakin Skywalker she is still alive. She is just how do you say it. Can't wake up. She can't.

Are you ready to fight, Anakin.

Yes.

The 2 were blocking, swirling around and around, ducking, blocking, over and over. Then the attacker fell- he was tired. Then out of nowhere the attacker flew away and was gone.

But Padme was hurt. She couldn't wake up. The attacker was right . She was hurt badly.

Then the next day past by.

Anakin contacted Padme's Sister Juliana.

She came in crying. Anakin hugged her and she stepped away after 5 seconds.

She cried and looked at her sister wounded badly.

Why her Anakin?

I dont know........we were just talking then......

I dont want to hear right now.

I just want to be left alone.

Ok Juliana if that's what you want, i will leave you alone then.

Thank you Anakin Skywalker. I can see why Padme cares for you. You are such a nice gentleman, even for a jedi.

What do you mean?

You seem nice to her. I can see the way you treat a woman, just like Padme. She never been treated like that.........even by a Jedi.

Oh.......

Why are you blushing Anakin. It's like everytime i say her name you blush. I know you have a crush on her..........it's not like you love her deeply now. She always told me Anakin is the best, he's a great friend, and that stuff.

Pauses for 5 seconds and speaks again.

You know she just seems to care for you more than her duties. But she says your a great friend a girl would love to have.

She says that?

Yeah.

Well, i am going to leave you alone now.

Ok, thank you Anakin. Um...........Good night, Anakin.

Goodnight, Juliana.

Juliana thought about Anakin and Padme. How they will make a perfect couple. She thought if Anakin was not a jedi Padme will be sure to marry the guy. Then Juliana looked outside and thought about her sister,Padme

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Four--

Juliana stared out the window knowing it wasn't really Anakin's fault. Juliana kept staring sometimes on the ground then outside. Neither Obi- Wan, Anakin, nor juliana spoke to one another. Half an hour passed by then Juliana heard a noise.

You hear that?

(Obi-wan and Anakin answer at the same time) What, Juliana?

That? its coming from here. In the house. (Pauses for 5 seconds) Cant you jedi sense once in awhile or sometimes you jedi just forget and think about something else.............i mean you jedi's have to know right?

Anakin answers- well.............see........um.......

What Anakin means, Juliana, that we did sense something but we were just distracted thinking about something else in our minds.

Oh..........never mind that noise might just be Padme sleeping. Lets be quiet she needs her sleep anyway. I just..........get worried about her sometimes...........but we always worry dont we Obi-Wan?

yes we always do Juliana.

Goodnight Anakin and Obi- Wan..........its getting late anyway.

Juliana goes to Padme's room and see's something....................

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Five--

Who are you? Doesn't Obi-Wan and Anakin sense this.....answer me. Hello Juliana........

Who are you?

I am Letoya Ziana. I am here because i was told to. Are other one failed.

What are you doing here Letoya Ziana?

You know. What else am i here for. And anyway your little Jedi friends are busy at the moment.

What do you mean "Busy at the moment" this cant be happening.

Oh yes it can Juliana. What i mean is that their handling one of my students her name is Kyiana Zan. She is strong and can handle the 2.

No........Anakin, Obi-Wan......help me.

oh, no you dont........you come over here.

Letoya raised her hand up and all of a sudden Juliana felt a great power go to her and immediatly fell on the ground.

thats what you get........now i can go and victory will let you down just like it did to your sister. Face it , it been almost 2 days and she is still knocked out...i hope you end up like her.

Why are you so cruel Letoya? just because you are not with the good side does not mean you have to be so cruel.

hello juliana..........i've been like this for the past 4 years. its too late anyway. i'll never join your side...........i have my reasons

and what are those reasons Letoya...........tell me.

i cant tell you..........its kind of.........um.......private. but i must end you.

no.............please dont. Anakin, Obi-Wan help me, please.

Then juliana saw Anakin . He reached for the other lightsaber he had and threw it to her. Anakin and Obi-Wan were busy fighting Letoya's apprentice Kyiana Zan. Then juliana grabbed the lightsaber just how her sister did. Juliana got up fast and took a swing at Letoya. Both were fighting aggressive just like any other jedi........but the confusing part for Anakin and Obi-Wan was that they didn't knew Juliana can take a swing of that lightsaber like if she was trained already.

Juliana took another swing but Letoya kept blocking. Both girls were turning around, ducking, blocking, hitting over and over. Then all of a sudden Letoya saw her apprentice fall with both of her eyes. Letoya was distracted and all of a sudden Juliana hitted her and gave her a wound on her leg. The wound was about 10 inches long. Anakin and Obi-Wan were not able to see because of the glow the 2 lightsabers brought.

Just when Juliana turned around both Anakin and Obi-Wan shouted

Behind you, Juliana.....turn around!

AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obi-Wan and Anakin ran over but Letoya took a swing of her lightsaber and got both of their backs.

Anakin saw Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan saw Anakin but neither one could not get up.

Help me Obi-Wan and Anakin...........please help!!!!!!!!

They heard Juliana scream but Letoya hitted her in the back once more with her red lightsaber.........juliana stopped and both jedi were worried she was gone.

Anakin saw a shadow so small....it was Kyiana, she swung her lightsaber into Anakin's and Obi-Wans back and both jedi were both knocked out.

Padmé's Sacrifice
Chapter Six--

Juliana, Obi-Wan, and Anakin were all hurt. Juliana woke up, her eyes barely opening. It was morning and the sun was barely here. It was about 5:20.

Juliana was wounded badly but she managed to get up again. Her back had 2 long cuts that ran down her shoulder to her waist. Her clothes were messy and decided to take a shower to help the wounds.

She got up and started walking. She heard a noise like if somebody was calling for help. She barely heard it but kept getting closer to it. Then she went to Padme's room........padme was there on the ground with more wounds. One on her leg that was 4 inches and another one on her back 4 inches long.

Padme are you all right? Padme please answer me.........

Juliana started crying and saw her wounded sister once again.

Guess you wont wake up for another couple of days, huh liitle sis. You know it feels empty without you. We need you........everybody needs you ...............

Juliana holds her sister and lays her in the ground again to get something. Juliana gets a wet towel and holds it in her wounds. She dries the wound and then puts her back to her bed.

Juliana hears a knock on Padme's door.

Who is it?

It's me Anakin. Are you all right?

Yes, why?

I hear you crying is something wrong?

yes.............but im ok Anakin.

Ok....thats all i need yo know.

Juliana looked in Padme's Closet.............then she saw a small book.

Dont even think about it Juliana............its her secret thoughts and are meant to keep secret.

Juliana snatched it and held on to it.

She opened it and read the first page.

Dear diary,

Anakin looked at me in a uncomfortable way. I felt like running away. With those blue eyes..........he even told me he was going to marry me. He is a grown man but i cant fall in love.......jedi's are not allowed to love. Anyway i ont have time falling in love i am always busy........

then juliana closed it and felt guilty and couldn't read no more. She putted it away but still remembered that same line . He is a grown man but i cant fall in love........jedi's are not allowed to love.

Juliana knew her sister liked anakin as a friend, but Anakin loves Padme.

(Juliana's mind)

No wonder he blushed when i said her name. He loves her......but she doesn't. Poor Anakin, if only he wasn't a jedi, she would love him. But both love what they are doing but how can my sis put away those feelings. She pushes it away. But i know she won't go far with Anakin. But they have a future together i just know it but somehow it was meant to be the hard way..................forbidden. Their meant to be together but only to have a hard life. Oh My Gosh! I hope that does not happen.................just not to my sister Padme.

Juliana went out of the room and into some other room.

Juliana went to contact Sabe.........Padme's Ex-handmaiden.

Sabe, hi. It's me juliana..........Padme's sister. Can you please come here in Coruscant. Come here, please Sabe. You must come here quick.

Juliana send the message. Then 2 minutes later Sabe read the message and wrote back.

Hi, Juliana. Yes i will come there right now. I live here in Coruscant also. I'll be there in 2 hours.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Seven--

2 hours later.......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Someone knocked on the door. Anakin was close by and decided to answer it, since Juliana was in some other room.

Anakin opened the door and the young woman greeted him.

Hello Anakin, i don't think you recognize me that much. We have not met.

The young woman took a deep breath.............

I was Padme's Decoy back in Naboo when she was in trouble. It was when we switch..............that's how you met "Padme". She played as a Handmaiden, while i acted like her.

Oh............yeah but i did not knew you. But i heard a lot about you from Padme. I go yeah padme i remeber the "Decoy" but not her name.

I am so glad to see you Anakin. You've grown since i first saw you 10 years ago. You were just a 9 year old. You know I still remeber the days back in Naboo.

Like what?

So many things....................but i can't tell you.

It's ok if you don't feel like telling me, i understand.

Wow, Anakin! You know how to treat a girl when she is down in the blues. I respect that..............but you kind of remind me of someone..............but can you let me in first.

Oh, im so sorry.

Oh it's nothing. But,i am here to meet Juliana. She contacted me about 2- 3 hours ago, she needs help.

Oh um...........The person who reminds me of you just brings back a lot of memories. He had the same blue eyes and the same hair like you.............he was.........

Sabe couldn't finish her sentence when Juliana came in the room. Anakin just sat still in the couch while Sabe and Juliana went away.

Anakin wanted to know what she was going to say. He saw the way she froze in pain when she was saying the words.Those last few words.

Anakin got up and went to look for his Master. Obi-Wan was outside concentrating.

Master sorry to interrupt but someone is here. She is from Naboo but i don't know if she still lives there.

Who is it Anakin?

You might know her very well Master, Obi-Wan.

What do you mean?

Introduce yourself, she'll enjoy your company.

Where is she?

Right here in Padme's Apartment. She is with Juliana, it's an old friend from 10 years ago.

10 years ago?!

Why do you sound like if your half/ surprised and half/ scared.

Obi-Wan are you listening?

Yes.

Then why are you looking at her in the kitchen. It's like if you guys loved each other.

Obi-Wan didn't hear a word Anakin said. He kept looking at the young woman who was laughing, then talking, giggling, and sad all at differnet times. He felt he known her all his life. The voice and laughing sounded familiar to him.

Juliana got up and started heading towards Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Obi-Wan, it's rude of you to not introduce yourself to our guest. Go, Obi-Wan.............she'll love to meet you.

Obi-Wan was confused who this mystery guest was. They never said her name.

Obi-Wan started walking with Juliana and the young woman kept silence. Obi-Wan saw her beautiful face and reminded him of Sabe.

Obi-Wan i'll like to introduce you to Sabe.

Obi-Wan froze when he heard the words. Sabe was starting to have tears in her eyes that ran down her cheeks. Before Obi-Wan could say a word she got up and started to walk away fast. Anakin looked at Obi-Wan in a confused look. All she did was hear his name and started to cry......................like if he broked her heart in two before.

Juliana was confused too.

Sabe come back.

Then Juliana heard the word that made her voice heart broken.

No, Juliana!

She was still crying. Sabe was outside in another location in the apartment.

Sabe looked outside and felt like jumping.

Sabe don't do this. All i said was...........

Sabe spoke over and started talking while she had tears.....

Obi-Wan, huh! I don't like that Jedi..............for so many reasons.

What do you mean Sabe?

I can't tell you.

Yes you can Sabe.

I can't.

Look if you jump i'll get Anakin and his Master over here to save you.

No!

Why not?

Because.................

Then Sabe started to cool down her voice and started talking normal.

Can i talk to you about this later in the living room today.

You mean right now or just later?

Right now........you have the right to know.

Ok, Sabe.

But first Sabe we have to tell the 2 jedi to give us Privacy and go into another room.

Ok, but can you tell, Juliana.

How about we both tell them, how about that?

Ok, with you Sabe?

Yes.................it's ok.

Juliana and Sabe started to hug each other. They both cried and wiped off their tears.

Sabe was still shaking from the jump she was about to do if Juliana did not came after her.

Sabe abd juliana were walking together, but Sabe still was sore from climbing to jump. But Sabe remained to Hold some of the tears.

Sabe and Juliana said together a sentence they will use to get the people out so they can get their privacy.

Can you both get out, please, we need some privacy.

The both Jedi just agreed and went into another room far away from them.

Sabe started to speak and tell the story.........

Well it was 10 years ago. It was Naboo fighting back and all. i was disguised as your sister, Padme. I saw Obi-Wan and he saw me. He probably knew who i was, a decoy. Right after your sister revailed her identity everybody was shocked. Then when i was getting the weapons Obi-Wan came up to me and Said,'' Good luck, you know how to trick other people especially Jedi". He said it in a way a Jedi won't talk. It was like if he was saying i knew it was you all along, you seem to have my heart. Before the Celebration i was dressed back as a Handmaiden. It was a long green dress mixed with other colors. It was very beautiful. I tried it on for the celebration. Obi-Wan was there unexpected in the home. He knocked on my door and saw my dress on me. He went up to me and told me how beautiful it was. We bothed liked each other. We had a short conversation. I was putting away my my dresses in the laundry, so i can wash it. When i was saying how nice he was to show up, i told him that it was rude for a Jedi but the company felt nice.........he did not let me finish and grabbed me and told me he liked me so much. He gave me a passionate kiss and i held on. Then i letted go. He stayed with me for 2 more hours. Then at the last minute he told me he had to go because he did not felt like giving in, he could not stop being a Jedi. He told me it was Forbidden.

Then i told him to go, i don't want to see you. He looked at me and came up to me. I pushed him away and told him to let go. He letted go and started to walk away. When he closed my door he must of heard me cried. I had tears and i covered half my face with my hands. I felt like wishing he was not a Jedi. I went up to the door leaned my back against it and sitted down on the ground. Then your sister knocked on the door to make sure if everything was all right. i told her everything and she supported me. She told me it was going to be ok. And know i was until i met him again. At the Celebration i was in the back oh him and small Anakin his first padawan. I felt like pushing him again, both of us were in pain...........i could not help it. He knew i was in the back of him. He putted his hands in the back of him and triend to touch my hands. I hitted him in the back and he stopped. And that was it. When he left he tried to say goodbye but i told everybody to say i was busy and went to get the Queen something important. They did but i was in my room crying looking out peeking through my coverings saying i'll always remeber you Obi-Wan. He told me Good-bye in my head and that was it. It was the force and i was scared about it. Then i told him how can you hear me........he said he just can. That was it.................my story you wanted to hear.

Juliana was now knowing why she ranned away.

Both of them hugged each other.

I didn't know, Sabe.

Well, know you do.

Juliana knew how much pain she was going through. To live 10 years without that special someone.

Both got up and went to Padme's room. She was still there.

Hope she get's better, Juliana.

Once they were going to go out her room they heard a noise. It was Padme.

Juliana, Sabe..............oh my gosh.

All 3 women hugged each other and cried.

Sabe and Juliana Helped Padme.

Then Anakin and Obi-Wan heard something. Like a joy of tears. They walked to Padme's room and she was alive. Anakin was proud to see his angel alive.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Eight-- Anakin was glad to see Padme again.

She finally spoke to Anakin............

Anakin ,oh my goodness, i am so glad to see you. And i am glad to see you, too.

Padme started to cry to see Sabe, Juliana, Anakin, and Obi-Wan. She was glad to see they trully cared.

~

It was 7:30 p.m. The sun was setting and Anakin and Padme were all alone. Obi-Wan , Juliana, and Sabe decided to go to Naboo for a visit. Juliana wanted Obi-Wan and Sabe to communicate once again.

Padme and Anakin were both outside looking at the sunset together.

Anakin was pretending to look at the sunset but he was looking at his Angel. He loved her more than anything. Padme began talking ...............

Look how beautiful the sun looks, it kind of reminds me of Naboo.

Pauses for 3 seconds................

I think we should of gone, Anakin. So you can meet my family...........it's so beauiful

Anakin talked over and finished the sentence...........

To look at. I know, Padme............

Anakin got closer to her...........

He got closer to her and Padme felt a sudden chill down her spine. He brushed against her and she moved away.

Why are you doing this Anakin?

I know you love me Padme or at least think i'm cute. Can't you admit it..............tell me your true feelings Padme.

You what to know the truth Anakin?!

Yes, all i want is the truth, Padme.

Well the truth is.............

Padme could not think of a word to say to him. She had nothing to say. Anakin was right she couldn't hide her feelings, but she did not love him, she just thought he was cute. He was a grown man with those 2 gorgeous.......

I don't feel............

Padme walked away fast and into her room. She had tears come down her cheeks again.

Why did i say that to Anakin? I should of told him the truth.

Padme kept whispering to herself over and over.

Anakin came into her room.

What do you want Anakin?

May i speak with you?

Sure, come in.

Anakin was thinking of what to say, he must of knew because it was difficult for him to say it.

Padme, had you ever loved? I mean had you ever loved somebody but never told them.

Padme knew there was never one love in her life. All she had was this image of this little 9 year old growing in her dream each year and now he was 19 years and was not that 9 year old boy she met at Tattoine.

What are you thinking about Padme?

I'm thinking about this boy.......

Anakin was sad and put his head down.......

Ohh.........

No if that's what you think. Another guy, huh. Don't get the wrong idea, Ani. I was thinking about you. When we first met in Tattoine, remeber? You were 9 and i was 14. Once you were gone i kept dreaming about that small little boy who told me he was sure he was going to marry me. I just laughed and said it was not possible and that he was just a liitle boy. Then the years passed by and i could think was how will this boy turn out? Will he see me with another guy and get mad?

You were thinking of me?

Yeah, and Anakin i never had a lover in my life. I've been lonely all those years, i always felt alone that no one was by my side to help and care for me.

And you have, Anakin.

I have?

Always, i can see you care for me.

Padme?

Yeah?

Let's go to Naboo to surprise your family.

All right. Just let me pack my things.

Anakin went up to her and hugged her. Padme felt spending the rest of her life with that someone. She was just wondering who it can be.

Then her Handmaiden Dorme` came in.

M'lady, i'm going to miss you. I'm going to miss you too Dorme`.

Anakin watched as the 2 were hugging and crying.

Let's go, Padme.

Then Padme whispered to Dorme.

You know sometimes jedi's can be annoying once in awhile.

The 2 giggled and said bye.

Is everything in Anakin?

Yes, M'lady.

Good, let's go.

The 2 were headed to Naboo.

Padme, you want me to drive.

Sure, only if you want me to.

You can drive?

Just because i'm a Senator does not mean i'm weak. I can drive, thank you.

Anakin was surprised how tough Padme can be. He always likes it when Padme shows her fun side.

Padme drove and made turns,curves, and putted the speed more faster.

You really do tell the truth Padme, you do know how to drive.

Thank you, i'm a professional.

A professional?

What are you saying i'm not. No, what i mean is............

Then Padme stopped.

Why did you stop? Look, i see my Ex-Handmaiden, Rabe.

So, we need to go.

Who said? I never said that this is going to be a short trip.

Anakin stepped on the pedal and both we're back on the road.

Drive, Padme.

-----------------------------

1 hour later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Padme was driving and Anakin was asleep. She looked at him but kept eye on the road. She was still driving and needed 2-4 hours to get there.

Padme was driving her Naboo Starship. Naboo let her keep it as a gift.

Anakin did not mine to sleep right there on the chair. Padme felt safe with him at the same time.

It was 9:30 pm when they left. It was now 12:00. Padme knew they'll arrive about 2:00 am over there. It was now 1:30. Padme was happy to see her home. She landed the ship near her home. She woke up Anakin.

Anakin, we're here. Come on let's go.

You sound excited, Padme.

I am Excited, come on.

Anakin got up and helped got the suitcases.

Then Padme ranged the bell. Juliana answered.

Juliana whispered- Sis, it's late........what are you doing here?

It's a surprise, actually Anakin convinced me, anyway i missed you guys.

Me, too.........it felt pretty lonely without you guys.

Come in, make yourself at home.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Nine--

Juliana welcomed her sister and Anakin in. Anakin looked around and saw how beautiful it look just like his Angel, Padme.

Anakin's dreaming was gone when Padme spoked to him.

Anakin, let me show you were you will be sleeping.

Padme walked, looking at a couple of rooms to see which one Anakin will like. Anakin watched her as she stopped at one of the rooms. She stared at it for awhile and began walking once again. Anakin was confused because she seem to be sad about the room-or something.

Padme stopped and began to speak..............

Here this room looks perfect. Since you're a jedi and all, i think this room will be quite perfect.

Anakin looked and took a good look at the room. He dropped his bags near the bed and began unpacking while Padme starred.

What are you thinking about Padme?

< i hope she doesn't cry>

Oh, um, see it's like this, oh..............

Anakin focused on the words she said.

Why is your tone sounding scared, M'lady.

< That's great Anakin, saying that to Padme>

It's not that. I feel strange Anakin. I have this..........

Before she can finish Padme started to run. Anakin chased her and grabbed her shoulder. She pushed her shoulder upward and continued running.

Anakin shouted.

Padme, come back!!!!!!

Then juliana came.

What happened Anakin?

Before he can explain he couldn't really prove it.

I heard everything, Anakin.

Let me explain.

You saw her stop in a room, huh?

Yeah, why?

Let me show you, come one.

Juliana and Anakin walked over to the room. Juliana stared at it too. She opened it with tears in her eyes.

Why are you crying?

Cause.............let me show you first, then you'll understand.

Juliana got a box that was small but wide. She opened it and there was a beautiful ring.

This is our Grandmother's ring. She passed away before Padme was Queen. She cried that she was not there to see her, anyway she told her she will always be there to see her as Queen. That is what she was missing, all of our hearts were broken.

We supported her. Before she died, well anyway she knew she was going to die, she wrote a small letter and part of it said give my wedding ring to Padme. To remind her i will always be in her heart.

Anakin understood now. Juliana began to get more things out , one surprised Anakin.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Ten--

Anakin took a good look at the ring. Juliana saw his eyes still on the ring. She grabbed the ring away and putted it away on the drawer.

Anakin saw her go to the closet and open it. She reaced her hand out and touch something. She began to cry and somebody knocked on the door. Who is it?

It's me Padme.

Juliana wiped her tears and went up to Anakin.

Anakin, she can't come in.

Why not?

Because back when we were still small we will go here everyday. We will go here every night and cry together. So that is why she cried when she touched this door.

Yes, that's why.

She doesn't know you're here. It's only me and her. So she thinks that you are here by yourself and came here before her.

Yes.

Then Padme opened the door. Then all of a sudden the front windo 62 inches away from her exploded with the sand coming in. Padme fell on the ground hurt. Anakin was blind and couldn't see. He heard her cough and struggling to get up. He heard her footsteps. She ranned up to Anakin and saw him. She grabbed him and putted his whole body on her legs------(-she was on the ground) She dropped him softly and ran to the bathroom. She went to get a Wet towel. She ran back to him and wipe the sand that blinded him. He could see a little then took the rest out. Padme saw him while she was on the ground sitting. She was right next to him and hugged him.

O, god Anakin are you okay?

Yeah, i think so, but is Juliana all right?

Then Padme checked around and she was not there. He saw her joy smile turn into a worried smile. Then she cried. What is it Padme?

She's gone.

What do you mean?

She is kidnapped Anakin.

Kidnapped!!!!!!!!!

Yes..........what else.

Anakin got up and Padme ranned to him to hug him. Anakin held on and she cried on his shoulder. He letted go and was about to give Padme a kiss. She step aside even though it seem she was going to hold one.

What are you doing?

Giving you..........i was trying to give you a kiss.......for saving me.

For that?

Yes........still you were going to give in, i know it. We can keep it a secret...........we can love secretly. I can't. Just because we feel the same about each other means i not going to give in.

Then you do feel something for me.

So?

So?!!!

Yeah, Anakin you heard me................look we have to focus on my sister's kidnap not all this nonsense of loving you, ok?

Anakin are you listening?

Yes, i understand but Stop bossing me around, like if your still mature than me.

Well, I am more mature than you. Anyway, i am still older than you and i can treat you like that little boy i once met at tatooine.

You cant, Padme.

Why, give me one good reason?

I am more taller and the fact is i've grown more into a young handsome man who is now a jedi.........and you like it.

I don't like it.

Uh huh, yeah right! Prove it.

You want me to prove it?

Yes, i already asked you.

Well, i once liked this boy..........he was 4 years older than me.

He looked cute and i never knew his name, strange isn't it. He kind of liked me too because when i was elected queen he was in line for those guys to ask me to dance with them. I said no to all of them cause i saw the way they acted. Then, i realized that he was a jedi like you...........he couldn't love so i said no to him when he asked me. I knew if i had said yes that day what could of happen..........will he leave me and say he can't leave the Jedi order. I couldn't live like that. It'll make me heartbroken and sad. I realize that my crush on him ended that day. I went in my royal room and felt a little bad about the decision i made, but it was for the best. Now come to think of it i don't feel bad about my decision.

Anakin realized how heartbroken she was. Padme just stared at Anakin.

What, Anakin?

You seem tired, Padme.

I am.

Then all of a sudden she fainted. Anakin grabbed her before she hitted the ground. He carried her and tucked her into bed. Anakin kissed her cheeked .

Good Night, My Angel.

Then he went to contact Obi-Wan..........to tell him about the kidnap of Juliana.

Padme's Sacrifice
Chapter Eleven--

Padme was in her bed still awake. She knew she kind of liked Anakin but knew it will pass by. She did not actually faint, she faked it because she wanted to see if Anakin was going to get her.She felt scared at first when she was falling but she felt lucky that the way he caught her felt like forever she can stay with him............and the way he kissed her cheeked.

Padme got up to check on Anakin. She knew he was going to be mad but was going to be ok with it.

She was close to the entrance then all of sudden a light knock was from the door.

Who is it?

It's us Saché, Yané, Rabé, and Eirtaé.

Padme was surprised...........her handamidens were here........well actually the 4.

Padme walked to the door and opened the door.

The 4 Ex-handmaidens looked at their Ex-Queen. The 4 including Padme all hugged each other. Padme was happy to see them and so were they happy to see Padme.

How did you know i was here?

Saché began to speak.

We went to Naboo to visit your house, we went to your house to ask where you were at.

Then Rabé spoke and took over.

We, then went to Coruscant to surprise you but then a young Jedi named Aurrya Sela told us you left hours ago to go to surprise your family in Naboo.

Then Eirtaé Spoke.

So that is why we are here. We could of saw you earlier but we just missed you by a couple of hours.

Then Yané spoke.

Well now we are here, Padme. You look pretty good after 10 years. You do, too Yané . And so do you all my royal Ex- handmaidens.

Please come in.

The 4 sat down and looked at the home.

Wow ,this looks wonderful for a house in Naboo.

Thank you Rabé.

Your welcome, Senator.

Then a another young woman about 26 was walking towards them.

Who is that Padme? said Rabé.

Another Ex-handmaiden.

The 4 looked at each other and immediatley knew what Padme meant.

The 4 sat still surprised and said her name quietly.

Sabe!

She was surprised..........she knew it was the 4 handamidens Saché, Yané, Rabé, and Eirtaé.

She walked faster and went up to them.

The 4 women from the couch stood up and hugged Sabé.

Sabé, it had been such a long time.

And so it has Saché.

Padme was glad to see her Ex-handmaidens reunited from such a long time.

~~~~~

Anakin was done contacting Obi-Wan when he heard whispering. The whispering sounded more like a few women.

Anakin walked out of the room he was in (his room, the one he is going to be sleeping in for a couple of days)

He went outside to concentrate and focus on other things.

Then he heard the women talking but he sensed that Padme was actually focusing on her Sister, Juliana.

He felt her coming towards him............

She was in the back of him and was about to go.

Don't leave........

Anakin's back was all Padme can see of him.

Why not............i dont want to disturbe you, i mean.

But, your welcoming is soothing, please stay.

Padme could feel a chill up her spine.

Anakin opened his eyes and turn around. She was there standing with her nightgown with no coat.

He got closer to her and could feel Padme all cold.

Are you cold?

Yes.......but i.........

Padme knew she had to tell Anakin the truth.

Anakin, i..........

Hold that thought. I need to tell you something.

I love you, Padme...........the first day i met you again........you were now older, 24, and i am now 19.........my feelings for you were different now.It was love Padme, tell me if you feel the same, my angel.

Padme!

It was Sabe calling for her.

Where are you?

Padme quickly gave Anakin a kiss on the cheek. While she was running Anakin held onto her hand softly til she was gone.

Sabe looked outside and Anakin was alone.

Anakin, do you know where Padme is?

Anakin smiled a little and started to speak.

I don't know, she must be in her room.

Thanks for your help, Anakin.

No problem.

Anakin touched his cheek softly with his right hand. He smiled and went back to his room to go to sleep.

Padme touched her lips, her lips kissing the soft cheek that her own lips touch.....Anakin's soft right cheek. She smiled in her room and went to sleep.

The handmaidens too slept. Saché, Yané, Rabé, and Eirtaé all slept in one room with 4 small beds. Sabe slept in another room across from Padme's room.

Then......................
