You're the daughter of who?

Eagerly awaiting more. Up!

 

Up!

EOJ

 

Padmé did her best to dry her moist eyes with the back of her hand. She turned to look up into the mask of a face that was once her husband.

?You came back,? she whispered. ?This is like some out of a dream.?

Before Anakin could answer her statement, a timid Luke stepped forward, interrupting the couple.

?Are you ?? he cleared his throat a little before continuing. ?Are you my mother??

The tears threatened to overtake Padmé again as she saw her son again for the first time in two decades.

?Luke?? She released her grip on Anakin and moved closer to her shocked son. She put one head gently on his shoulder and used the other to cup is cheek. ?I knew it was you, you have your father?s eyes.?

Through his suit Anakin beamed at his wife?s appraisal. It was true, the boy did have so much of his father in him. But he, unlike Vader, had managed to cling to the light side of the Force, despite the temptations that had been thrown at him. Perhaps, if this boy that looked so much like himself could do it, there was redemption for Anakin as well.

The former Dark Lord smiled under his mask, ignoring the pain it caused, as mother and son embraced.

Kiara watched this exchange silently until a pair of blue eyes caught her own. Fascinated, she remembered what Luke had said about him finding her mother.

Could that be her? she wondered, now memorized. Slowly and without taking her eyes off the older woman, Kiara closed the distance between them.

?Hi,? she tentatively said and hoped that their introduction went as well as Luke?s had.

?Kiara,? the woman said softly. ?I thought I?d never live to see you again.?

Both women stood in silence until both, seemingly at the same time, reached out to envelop each other in a warm hug.

 

nice post Athena.

I'll post soon.

 

Good post.

 

Touching.

 

Carmena had so many questions for her daughter....

What was she doing here?
How did she learn to speak english?
How did she meet Luke and Leia?

Then something crossed her mind.

She released her daughter slightly so she could look into her daughter's eyes.

Carmena couldn't help thinking that Kiara shared some of the same facial expressions as Palpatine, and how her aura almost seemed similar to her father's, except that it was not evil.

Though, it didn't seem possible that anyone could be similar to him without being evil.

She didn't know how to explain it really, it was just there.

She put the thought out of her head and asked Kiara the question she had been meaning to ask.

"Where's Ekalan?".

After she had asked the question she immediately wished she hadn't.

The pain that could be felt coming off of her daughter in waves sent Carmena back a step.

The look on Kiara's face was just a horrible.

Kiara looked up at her mother, then toward the ground.

Then, the one word that Carmena knew was coming, came.

She could tell from the way Kiara had reacted.

"Dead.".

Carmena nodded slowly and solemly.

She asked the an other question she aready knew the answer too before asking it, in the dumb hope that there was an other anwser.

"How?..W..who?".

Kiara looked back at her mother showing her watery eyes.

"Palpatine...".

Kiara spat the name in disgust.

Carmena said nothing and controlled her emotions after her suspictions had been confirmed.

She took her daughter back into her arms, and Kiara welcomed them.

Carmena placed her hand on the back of Kiara's head trying to comfort her.


"I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you Kiara...I'm sorry for bringing you into such a terrible galaxy as this....".


Kiara remained silent for a while in her mother's arms, and she quietly replied.

"It's not your fault mother...it's father's, and I'll make sure he pays for it..".

Carmena frowned.

So she knew. She knew who her father was, and what he had done.

But, in Kiara's words she felt a ping of darkness she hadn't felt in her before.

It scared Carmena to the core, when she felt it.

Yoda's words rang in her head.

*Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to the Dark Side of the Force...*

She recalled all the pain that had been the result of things of that nature, she wouldn't let it happen again.. especially to her daughter..

"Don't, please."

Kiara looked at her mother confused.

"Don't do what?". She asked wiping a few tears from her eyes.

"Don't get angry like that..It can lead to danger, please, just trust me.".

Good post.

 

No, GREAT post!!!

EOJ, who is off to resolve problems at K.D.R.L.P.

 

Merry Christmas, and up!

 

Up again!

 

Hey, I come back to TWO WONDERFUL posts!!

I hope that she doesn't get angry at Father Palpy... that would be... bad (sorry for limited vocabulary... my mind's not up to spec)

 

Leia stood very uncomfortable.

Luke was hugging thier mother.

Kiara was hugging her own.

That left her standing with the one person she despised possibly even more than Palpatine...

Her own father. Darth Vader.

Or Anakin Skywalker, like he claimed.

Leia had serious trouble believing as easily as her mother and Luke had that he had suddenly changed back to the light side.

It wasn't possible.

She could barely even come to terms with the fact that she was related to such a 'thing', let alone that he suddenly became a good guy.

Anakin said nothing.

Leia said nothing.

There was a silence between them that was only broken by the familar sound of Anakin's respirator.
************************************

Anakin knew not what he could possibly say to his daughter.

He had had her tortured and destroyed her home planet, amoung his other horrendous crimes.

Anakin felt Leia's hatred for him and he agreed with it and understood it.

But, it still hurt him to know that his own flesh and blood hated him to the core of her being.

He tried to convince himself that it was Vader, and that Vader and Anakin were two different people... but he knew that that was untrue, and that Vader and he were one in the same.

It was him that did all of those inexcusable acts.

And he couldn't expect his daughter to excuse them, just because he suddenly was able to control himself.

Anakin sighed and stared at the ground.

The silence continued.

 

Can't wait to see what happens next. Leia's always mean to her poor father.

 

Good post.

 

Leia, don't be an idiot, that was Vader who tortured you, not Ani... we all want to see a happy family reunion!!

 

Well, everyone's reunited....not necessarily HAPPY about it, but reunited...Now tell them Skywalkers to get ready for Palpy's attack...methinks "short, pale, and ugly"* will not leave them alone mch longer.
