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.
