padmé's pov -

"Bail." I storm into his room, "You let Vader stay here?!" I was furious.

"I had no choice, I couldn't turn him down without looking suspicious." Bail defends himself, getting up and off the bed.

"Being around him is intoxicating, you should know this!" I shout, furious at him.

"Padmé, calm down pleas-"

"No. You know how hard it is to hate and love someone at the same time?" I pace back and forward, "I can't stay here. I need to flee." I bite my lip.

"I don't recommend it, where will you go?" Bail questions me..

"Coruscant, my apartment is still there if I am correct." I think of the place I always thought of as home.

"Padmé, that got locked up." Bail furrows his eyebrows.

Suddenly a loud explosion erupts from outside.

We both rush to the window and notice that troopers and what I assume to be rebels fighting.

"Breha!" Bail shouts as he runs out of the room..

I run out after him and I am met with a tall, dark, towering body instead.

"I'm so sorry." I whisper, hiding my face..

"Padmé! We must go now.." Ahsoka pants, "Oops.."

I look up and meet the mask of Darth Vader..

"Padmé, I recommend you run." Ahsoka ignites her lightsabers, but I just stood in shock..

"I'll be on my way.." I quickly started to move, I began to run and see that Ahsoka has stayed behind.. Vader was just standing.. probably shocked too.

I ran into Luke and Leia's room and quickly grabbed their hands..

"Where we going?" Luke asks, his blue eyes twinkling due to the lights above..

"I don't wanna leave!" Leia growls in annoyance, "I wanna stay!!"

"No time, Leia." I pick her up and Luke was holding my hand tightly..

I got Obi-Wan and we headed for the exit of the building..

I couldn't believe my eyes, I just saw Padmé and Ahsoka at once. Padmé was alive all these years and with Ahsoka? Maybe that's who Obi-Wan was hiding..

"Vader.." Ahsoka growls at me, "What's your business here?"

"I could ask you the same, Tano." I simply stand in place, not igniting a lightsaber as she has done.

"I move around." Ahsoka shrugs, "After I left the Jedi, I've been all over the galaxy. From Tatooine to Endor." Ahsoka explains, her eyebrows furrowed..

"I see." I nod, "Well, if you'll excuse me. I must attend to the things happening outside." I try get around the petite young woman.

"Not so fast." Ahsoka moves one of her lightsabers up to my helmet..

"Killing me is not the Jedi way." I explain softly.

"I am no Jedi." She defends herself, "I'm simply a girl with two blades." She comments.

"Ahsoka, can you please excuse me." I take her sabers by using the force and chuck them onto the floor.

"I need to ask questions that need answers."

I quickly stomp off leaving the young woman looking back in utter confusion.

ahsoka's pov -

He didn't even ignite his lightsaber. Bail told me no matter what, he always ignites it. But that was before he killed The Emperor.. Maybe he's went soft..

I quickly shake it off and use the force to get my lightsabers. I quickly begin running the the exit of the building..

Oh, dear. They know about the rebels.. I tell myself..

I look around quickly, I set eyes on the Nubian Freighter I assume everyone is on.. I quickly run towards it and aboard it.

"Quickly get out of here."

"What about Bail?" Padmé looks at the ground, which were mainly dead troopers and dead rebels..

"He's inside with Breha." I shrug..

"Ahsoka. Breha was outisde.." Padmé breathes heavily, "Bail went out as soon as he saw everything."

"Padmé, I hate to break it to you. But Vader is coming this way.." Obi-Wan points out..

"Take the ship, I'll stay here."

"No." Ahsoka shakes her head, "Absolutely not."

"He won't harm me. He wants me most likely." I explain, "I could try and get him back to the light side." I say standing up..

"But what about Luke and Leia?" Obi-Wan questions me, "They'll want to be with you, more than anyone else." Obi-Wan explains looking back at the children playing..

"They'll be under the best parental vision, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano. They'll live." I say looking down at them..

"I don't like this one bit." Ahsoka takes a seat..

I walk over to the children..

"I'll be back soon, and if not. Mummy always loves you. Okay?" I kiss both of them on their heads each.. they both nod, "Goodbye for now." I wave off my friends and exit the ship.

I watch troopers put their guns up at me, as I officially exit the ship..

The door closes behind me and begins to hover..

They shoot at it but it was too late as it was already gone.

"Hands where I can see them." A trooper shouts at me, I don't listen, I'll do anything but listen.

I look around slowly at the sight of all the dead people..

But my heart stopped at the sight of Bail and Breha

They'd killed them..

"You're monsters.." I shake my head, I pull a gun out from my boot and begin to blast at the troopers..

"Don't harm her." Vader walks up to me slowly, "Padmé Amidala."

The troopers look around confused, which is reasonable. Everyone thinks I'm dead, and they used to work with me also.

"What a pleasant surprise seeing you." I could sense his smirk, "It's so odd of you to join us."

"What is it that you want?" I narrow my eyes at the black mask, I was trying to look for those blue eyes but there was simply nothing but black space.

"Come to Coruscant with me." He says, "We have things to discuss."
