Chapter 31
Obi Wan walks with other mourners....
crowds flooded the streets, as a flowered.... covered coffin is drawn by six beautiful white beasts.
Soldiers and Padme's family followed the casket.
Alia walked behind Padme's family.... none of them had said a word to her, since she arrived.
Tears rolled down everyone's face.... none of them were ready to say goodbye to such a young, beautiful woman.
Alia quickly walked up Jobal....
"I will find a way to bring her back.... I truly am sorry, for not protecting her... the way I should have," Alia whispered.
"Y-you have done quite enough.... how many more people have to die for you to see that Alia," Sola whimpered.
"Y-you were her best friend.... you were supposed to protect my child, not let her die," Jobal cried.
"I-I'm so sorry.... I-if I could go back in time then I would've done anything to save her," Alia replied.
"Y-you should've died," Sola growled.
The color from Alia's face drained... the people who took her in, didn't care for her anymore... more she knew that they were mourning a lost of their family member.
But she wish they weren't so harsh about it.
"Give them time... Alia," Ruwee said, walking up beside her.
"They hate me... you should have me too, she's dead because of me," Alia sighed.
"No.... they don't hate you, they just need some time... also thank you for bring them both here, Jinn is beautiful... like her mother," Ruwee smiled.
Alia nodded.
************************************
Alia was sitting outside.... watching the sun slowly set, she felt completely defeated...
"Oh Anakin... Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me when I needed you the most? I thought our love was powerful enough to save you...." Alia whispered.
She dropped her head into her arms...
"Alia.... our love was powerful enough, I was just jealous... and I wanted more power.. more power to protect you, but now the Emperor won't stop at nothing until he has you," A voice breathed out...
Alia snapped her head up.... looking around, but saw nothing.
"Alia... I just we filled Jobal and Ruwee about the plan, and they are willing to help," Obi Wan smiled.
"G-Good! The faster we do this... the better," Alia replied.
"A-Are you okay?" Obi Wan asked.
"I-I miss him....," Alia sighed.
"I know... me too," Obi Wan said.
"Shouldn't we have my fake funeral on Tatooine? Since you know that's where I'll be living? I'm sure he won't go there..." Alia shrugged.
"It's tempting.... but what if he does show up, and he finds you?" Obi Wan asked.
"Good point.... I guess," Alia mumbled.
"But if you want to have your fake funeral on Tatooine.... then we should, but why?" Obi Wan questioned.
"I- I wanted to be buried next to his mother... but I mean we could also do it here, this is where we had our first kiss...." Alia replied.
"R-really?" Obi Wan smiled.
"Y-yeah... it happened all so fast, but I'm telling you it was wonderful... when we kissed, I just knew I would love him forever," Alia smiled.... remembering their first kiss.
"Well we should have the funeral here... we wouldn't want him to show up on Tatooine, not just yet anyhow," Obi Wan said.
"W-well if I do die before then.. just know I'd rather be buried next to his mother, if not then at least next to Padme," Alia replied.
"But what if you turn into a force ghost??" Obi Wan questioned.
"Then I turn into a force ghost," Alia shrugged.
**********************************
Jobal, Ruwee, Alia and Obi Wan stood in the kitchen... talking about the plan.
"Have we found someone, looking similar to Alia?" Obi Wan questioned
"No we have not," Ruwee replied.
"We could still have a funeral.... just without a body," Jobal spoke up.
They all four nodded in agreement.
"This could work..." Obi Wan smiled.
"L-lets do it," Alia said.
She wanted to hurry up and get this whole fake funeral thing over with.... before she had anytime to regret it.
