I woke up bright and early. The sun has only began to rise. I tried to stand up but found I couldn't because a set of strong arms were wrapped around my waist. As I tried to pry his hands off, his grip on me only became tighter
"No...stay" he mumbled deeply. His eyes remained shut and his head still rest on my pillow. I chuckled lightly.
"I need to get ready for the day"
"Get ready later. It's too early"
"No, Ani I need to get up and help aunt with breakfast"
"Fine but give me a kiss first" he turned on his back and puckered his lips as his eyes still remain shut. I sighed and leaned my head down, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. He smiled in content as he laid his head back down and return to his slumber.
I slipped on a lace white dress and placed a red flower crown on my head. I quietly slip out of my room and walked down to the kitchen where I see my Aunt preparing our meals. She looks up as she hears me descending down the stairs.
"Good morning Astoria" she smiled as she placed the plates around the table.
"Good morning Aunt Maro" I walked around the table and kissed her on the cheeks. I grabbed a glass and filled it up with water.
"Astoria, darling? Can you wake up Ceries and Anakin?" she asked. I nodded and set down my glass. I climbed up the stairs and headed to Ceries' room first where i threw a pillow on her face. I then made my way to my room, where Anakin lay asleep. I quietly climbed ontop of my bed and kissed his neck. He began to stur and finally opened his eyes.
"I can get used to waking up like this" he teased with a groggy voice. Which i found was very attractive. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. I climbed of my bed.
"Come. Its time for breakfast" i pulled on his arm. He chuckled and stood up. We both walked own the stairs just intime for breakfast. The day was going well so far. Uncle left for work early and so did Ceries. Well, she went to Padme. But sadly all peaceful moments must me ruined. Aunt Maro's R3 unit came bursting in beeping frantically. Aunt stood up and knelt next to R3.
"What is it?" Aunt asked. R3 began beeping more slowly. I understood most of what the unit was saying. But what it just announced run my blood cold.
"He said that a sorceress is planning on killing the king unless Astoria comes back" Aunt announced. Both eyes dashed to me.
"Im going back to Alderaan" i stood up and walked to the courtyard where our ship rest. I hear Anakin shout my name but i just ignored him. I feel my arm being yank ans i was forced to turn around.
"Im not letting you go" he said firmly. I shook his hand off me as he glared
"I dont care. My father could potentially die if i dont show up." i screamed as tears streamed down my face. Anakin's face softened as he pulled me into him.
"I cant stop you. But ill do everything to protect you." he pulled away as he kissed my lips. We both ran inside our ship. I sat in the cockpit with Anakin as we made our way out of Naboo. We shortly made our way into lightspeed. Soon the familiar planet came into view. Anakin and I gently landed the ship on the docking bay. Anakin handed me a blaster as he ignited his lightsaber. He pressed a button as the platform begins to lower itself. We were soon met by a dozen of the royal guards.
"Princess Astoria, you shouldnt have come" my father's head guard announced. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I dont care anymore. Take me to the wench" i demanded. The guards looked at one another, nervously. Until the head guard came forth.
"oh forget it! Ill find him myself" i ran as i hear their protest. I ran through the corridors until i made it to the throne room. There sat my mother and in her lap she craddled my fathers head.
"no no no..." I ran to them, dropping my blaster. Tears blured my eyes as i knelt down before my father. He was pale and gaunt. He had a mixture of blood and tar on his clothes. I gasped as i covered my mouth. My mother clutched onto his shirt as she looked up.
"She grew tired of waiting so she just killed him and left" she chocked out. It was my fault. If i just got here on time... I felt an icy cold feeling all through out my body. I felt so much rage and anger. It was my fault he died. All mine. I stood up as i glared at my reflection on the marble floor. I shook in fury and i did the only thing that came into mind. I screamed.
The ground shook as ice burst up creating a giant wall. I suddenly felt lightheaded. As i fell i felt a pair of arms catch me and i heard a single voice.
"Youve done well, my daughter"
This was a shitty chapter. Sorry. I literally did this at like 4 in the morning. So if it sucks, bare with me
