Chapter 25

I let out a sigh as I pulled out a small notebook from my belt, I opened it up to see details of my travels thru the years.

I don't know why, but something told me that I wouldn't be writing in this notebook again. And so I decided to leave something special inside of it, something for each of my boys... and for my little girl.

After I had finished writing, I saw Jabiim appear in front of me. I put my notebook in my belt and started to prepaid to land the shuttle.

I arrived on Jabiim and felt my heart stop as I saw a fleet of Empire ships. I snuck thru the troopers, doing my best to stay hidden. I had made it halfway, when I felt something stop me.

My hands flew up to my neck as I was hoisted up into the air. I was dragged towards a man in black armor and a face mask. I gasped for air as he used the force to keep me up in the air, my feet barely touching the ground.

"It was said you perished." He said as he stared up at me.

"I... go... got.. be..tter!" I gasped out as I clawed at my neck.

I could hardly breath and it was taking everything in me to get even a small gust of air to go down my throat.

"Lord Vader, what do you want us to do with her?" A stormtrooper asked as he walked up to the man.

"Tie her up, make sure she can't break free." He ordered as I fell to the ground.

I hit the ground hard and gasped for air as I felt hands grab a hold of my arms, bringing me to my feet. I was dragged away and led to a detention center, where I was cuffed and thrown to the ground. The door slid shut behind me as I rose to my feet.

"When I get out of here, you will wish that you had killed me!" I yelled as I kicked at the door.

I let out a huff and looked around the room. There was a bed in the middle and a toilet in the corner. I shook my head and decided that the floor would be better than the bed. I plopped down onto the ground and pulled my legs to my chest.

It wasn't long before I heard the door slide open and I turned to see Vader walk into the room.

"I shouldn't be surprised that you're here." I said as I stared at my hands.

He stopped as the door slid shut behind him. I let out a light laugh and shook my head.

"I told him that you wouldn't die so easily... but Obi-wan never listened." I said as I leaned back against the wall.

"We do not have to be adversaries, tell me what I want to know and the Emperor will show you mercy." He said as he stared down at me.

"Come now Ani... we both know that I've never done what was asked of me." I said as I turned to look at him.

"Anakin Skywalker is dead."

A part of me wanted to yell at him and beg him to come back to me, but I knew it was fruitless. I knew deep down inside of me that Anakin was gone... he was gone and he was never going to return to me.

"Maybe to you, but he was never dead to Padme." I said as I stared up at him.

I felt a tight grip on my neck and let out a gasp as I grasped at my neck. After a couple seconds he let go of me and I fell forward onto my hands.

"Where is the resistance base?"

"I d...on't... kn..ow!" I gasped out.

He roughly bent down and grabbed a hold of me, dragging me to my feet and pinning me to the wall. I grasped onto his wrist and stared up at him in shock.

"Tell me what I want to know, or perish." He growled out.

"I... would... would rather die then betray my family."

"You betrayed your family ten years ago... when you allowed Padme to die." He said as he stared down at me.

I felt a sharp pain go thru my chest and let out a gasp. My mouth hung open and I slowly looked down to see a lightsaber thru my chest. It deactivated and I fell to the ground, gasping for air. Vader said nothing else as he turned and walked out of the room, leaving the door open.

"An... anakin!" I called out, stopping him in his tracks.

I used as the last bit of strength I had to sit up and lean against the wall.

"She... Padme never gave up on you... even... with her last breath of air.. sh.. she still saw good in you... she d.. di... ed... think... inking of you!" I gasped out.

He stayed still for a second before he continued to walk out of the room, leaving me to bleed out.

I shouldn't have been surprised, I should have expected this to happen. I should have known that... I'd die by the hands of my brother, but I guess a part of me had hopped that he was still in there... but he wasn't.

After awhile I heard running and then felt hands cuff my face. My eyes fluttered open and I looked up to see a familiar face. I felt tears stream down my face as the person moved a strand of hair away from my eyes and pulled me to their chest.

"I... I thought I'd never see you again... Obi.." I whispered as he picked me up.

"I have you... it's going to be alright."
