Hi everyone, what can I say, this bunny just refused to leave me alone. The problem is, at the moment DRL is still keeping me down, so I will not be able to post as often as I like, so for that I do apologise. I did not PM anyone, because I am not sure if you guys are going to like this. If you guys want me to add you to a PM list, please let me know, and I will do so. Oh, and no guarantees of a happy ending I'm afraid. cry


When we were lovers


Chapter One


The incalculable intensity, burning deep within his cerulean eyes, epitomized the determination, the perpetual belief, and the passion, worthy of him being called the Chosen One. His rippling muscles increased the vice like grip he had on the controls of his personalized Jedi starfighter, as he headed towards the Mustafar system. Despite the invincible aura, which radiated off of his chiseled physique, Anakin Skywalker was fighting an internal battle. Pulsating waves of anxiety coursed through his veins, and voraciously devoured every cell in his being, as his heart pounded assiduously within his sculpted chest. The evil Sith Lord had revealed himself, and in doing so, was on the verge of completing his diabolical plan. Anakin had to save his love, regardless of what anyone thought, he had to save her, he had to save his Padme.

“Padme…”

Every moment that passed, tore him apart. Each excruciating beat of his throbbing heart, told him what he already knew; Padme was getting closer to being consumed by the eternal darkness…he had to save her. Anakin closed his eyes, as he tried to visualize his one true love. Her adoring eyes, her affectionate smile, her loving embrace…she was more beautiful, more pure, more innocent than any angel could ever be.

Anakin, I love you…

Her harmonious voice destroyed the trepidation that had consumed him. The eternal love in her passionate eyes protected him from the fear, which threatened to claim his soul. She was his strength, his inspiration, his love…he was incomplete without her. He knew that she would understand. This was his gravest hour.




Monstrous volcanic eruptions shook the heavens, as immense clouds of dust and sulphur, blocked out the sun’s rays. Mustafar was a planet on the edge, it’s hostile, vindictive environment, had provided the perfect sanctuary for the separatist leaders. Nute Gunray waited patiently for Darth Sidious’ new apprentice to arrive. After the death of Count Dooku on the Invisible Hand, and the fall of General Grievous on Utapau, they were in desperate need of a leader, one who would turn the war back in their favor. A starship entered the vicinity, and was immediately picked up on the sensors. A droid approached the nemodian.

“A ship has been detected on our scanners.”

“It must be the new apprentice.” Nute Gunray replied. “Allow him to land.”


A hooded figure exited the ship, and walked towards the control room. The separatist leaders heard the unambiguous sounds of footsteps get louder and louder, as a diminutive figure entered the room. An eerie silence engulfed the area, as the hooded figure stood silently in the doorway.

“We have been expecting you…”

Before Nute could finish his welcome speech, the mysterious stranger exposed a hand, and used the Force to close all exits to the room. Nute looked astonished.

“What is the meaning of this?”

The figure slowly removed the hood, the separatist leaders gasped in horror, as they looked into the hate filled eyes of Padme. Padme gave them a sadistic smile.

“It seems that you are not happy to see me. And after all we’ve been through…”

Padme exposed the lightsaber hilt she held in her right hand.

“I’m here you take care of you…Permanently.”

Padme’s eyes flashed yellow, whilst she ignited the scintillating red blade. She felt the violent kicking of her unborn child, as she used the Force to strengthen her quadriceps. She effortlessly lunged forward, and moved her glistening ruby blade in a wide arc, and ripped though the unsuspecting droids. Several more droids surrounded her, and opened fire; Padme gritted her teeth in disgust and flawlessly thwarted all the shots. Her baby continued to kick harder within her swollen belly, whilst she allowed the malicious nature of the dark side to guide her hand, and slaughter her terrified victims. She continued her irresistible onslaught, as one by one, the separatist leaders fell at her feet. Nute tried to escape, but Padme intercepted him.

“Lord Sidious said that we would have peace.” He begged,

Padme’s humming blade answered his pleas. She deactivated the blade, whilst she meticulously examined the results of the massacre. Tears fell down her eyes, as she gently cradled her stomach. Her baby continued to kick.

“I’m so sorry…”

Padme closed her eyes, and she fell to her knees. It refused to relinquish its grip on her, she was helpless, it had exploited her weakness, her vulnerability…Her heart told her it was wrong, but what could she do? She loved him, and this was the only way to save him. Padme heard a beeping noise; she looked up and saw another ship approach. She wiped away her tears and regained her composure. Her eyes sparkled; she instinctively knew who it was.

“Anakin,” Padme accelerated towards the door, she could not wait to be in the loving embrace of her husband.

Anakin’s heart raced, as he watched his love run towards him. He extended out his arms, and allowed her body to press against his. Anakin tenderly held her adorable face in his hands, before his yearning lips found hers. The two lovers were lost in each others arms, as they shared a passionate kiss. For that one moment, nothing else mattered, just that they were together. Much to the dismay of Padme, Anakin reluctantly pulled back, and gave her a smile that stole her heart.

“Padme…”

Padme was too overcome with emotion, her delicate heart pounded brutally within her chest, whilst her fingers continued to run through his golden mane.

“Oh Anakin, I’m so glad that you are okay. I don’t know what I would have done if anything had happened to you.”

Realization hit the Chosen One, as each incident; each tragedy that had taken place bombarded his tormented mind.

“Why’d you do it?”

“Because I love you…I had to save you.” Padme’s eyes were full of desperation, she hoped against hope that he would understand, that she did it for love.

“Padme, I’m not going to leave you because I have your love.” Anakin replied.

“But the nightmares, Anakin I watched you die every night. Every night that you were away, it got worse.” Tears fell from Padme’s broken eyes, as she held her husband’s face in her hands.

Anakin had understood that somehow his Force sensitivity had passed on to his wife, through their unborn child. It was inexplicable how, but somehow it had, and along with it, all of his fears. Just as he saw his mother die, Padme had seen him die.

“Padme, this doesn’t help.” Anakin pointed towards the control room, he could not sense any life forms, it was quite obvious that Padme had extinguished them all.
“None of this helps.”

“Anakin, let’s run away. Help me raise our baby, the way it should always have been.”

Anakin pulled himself away from her grip, and shook his head. He loved her more than life itself, but…

“Padme, I have to take you back.”

Tear relentlessly fell down her cheeks, as Padme looked at Anakin in disbelief.

“You want to take me back, so that everyone can punish me?”

“No, so that we can help you. This is all been too overwhelming for you, you need help.”

Anakin tried to hold her hand, but she snatched it away from his grip.

“I did this for you, I left everything for you. And you are still following that code?! Why?! Don’t you love me?! Don’t you love our child?!” Padme asked.

“I love you, but Padme all those younglings you killed…Padme, please come with me. I promise that nothing will happen to you. That dark lord has corrupted your mind…please.” The unconditional love, resonating from his voice, melted down the near impregnable barrier that surrounded his wife.

Padme loved him with all her heart; he was the reason for her existence. She ran into his arms, and affectionately rubbed her face against his.

“Oh Anakin, I love you.”

Tremendous relief came over the Chosen One; he knew that his love would save her. As Padme closed her eyes, evil, perverse, sinister thoughts ravaged her mind. Anakin was lying to her; he was using love as an excuse to take her back, so that they could kill her. Sidious was right, the Jedi are remorseless, all they want is to rule the galaxy. The anger rapaciously tore down the love in her heart, and replaced it with immeasurable hate. Padme’s eyes turned yellow. She gritted her teeth, and delivered a knee into her husband’s groin. Anakin groaned, as he fell to his knees. Padme grabbed the back of his hair, and violently snapped his neck back.

“I loved you!!!”

Padme released him, and then used the Force to strengthen her legs. She raised her knee up, and viscously hit Anakin under his jaw. The sheer intensity of the blow launched Anakin backwards several meters through the air. His back brutally slammed into the cold metal floor, and blood began to pour out both sides of his mouth. The baby began to kick again, as Padme activated her shimmering red blade.

Wow, that is one interesting twist to the story. You certainly had me wondering when you said as a diminutive figure entered the room. I so enjoy seeing a take-charge Padme although the way she's taking charge is unexpected, kicking Anakin's well...kicking his behind like that. I love it and how your mind works.

So wonderful to see you back hugs Definitely add me to your pm list, I beg you!

I had no idea that it was Padme either until you revealed it.

I am excited beyond words but I will still comment.

You know that I want to be on your pm list. So please add me to it.

This promises to be a great albeit dark story. Nothing like a dark story for the holiday season. wink

I can't wait to see where you take this. I am so glad that you are back with a story. I have missed your great writing.
