Seduction and Deception

The holoprojector switched on to a direct to Corusant. The projection of Palpatine came to view.

“The Separatist's have been taken care of.” Anakin reported to his ‘master’.

“It is…finished then. You have restored peace and Justice to the galaxy.” The Sith Lord replied.

“Shall I be expecting you here my lord?” Anakin asked carefully. Not wanting to arouse his suspicions.

“I shall depart the capital shortly.” Palpatine said in a base tone.

Anakin did not show the slight emotion to the Sith Lords coming, but did bow his head in a show of ‘submission’.

“Send a message to the ships of the Trade Federation. All Droid units must shut down immediately.”

“Very good my lord.” Anakin said before the connection was cut. As soon as it did, an alert from computer showed an approaching vessel. It was Padme’s Star Skiff.

Anakin smiled as everything was going as planned.

Anakin left the control room and headed for the landing pad. His hood was lowered as he began to sprint to her ship. As the ramp lowered and Padme stepped out wearing her pregnancy clothes and at her side a holstered blaster. Anakin embraced her but was careful not to hurt her of the baby.

“I saw your ship arrive…what are you doing out here?” He asked.

“I was so worried about you. Obi-Wan told me terrible things.” Padme said franticly. Anakin let her continue. “He said…that you turned to the Darkside, that you murdered Jedi…and that you…killed youn—

Anakin pressed his forehead to hers and calmed her down with his voice. “Calm down my love, please.”

“Anakin, tell me it’s not true.” Padme said with tears rolling from her eyes.

“To many things are happening Padme, the war is over and there are those that are attempting to take power. Like the Jedi I thought I could trust.” Anakin told her but did not directly answering her.

“Obi-Wan knows about us…he wants to help.” Padme added.

“Padme, Obi-Wan is deceiving you like the counsel did to me, like the Chancellor, like the Republic. They’re trying to destroy us.” Anakin argued putting his hands on her belly obviously implying that their child was at risk along with them.

All this information flooded into Padme all at once. It made it very hard to think. But her eyes never left the face of her husband, her lover. Padme looked into Anakin's eyes and felt a warmth she had always felt when she was around him. Right now that’s all she wanted.

“Anakin, all I want is your love.” She said out of nowhere.

Anakin smiled. “Then you will have it all.” Anakin closed in to kiss her and Padme did nothing to stop him. But when his lips touched hers, Padme felt a chill that shot through her entire body. At first Padme felt disturbed by it and wanted to break away. But it was if all her mind and will had been sapped from her body and replaced with love, passion, desire, lust, obedience, and submission.

All of it, in service to Anakin.

“Let her go Anakin.” A voice called out from the ship.

Anakin and Padme slowly broke away from each-other. Anakin stared at his old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

“Are you here to kill me?” Was all Anakin said.

“If I must, but I was hoping to help you.” Obi-Wan said calmly.

“I just wanted to protect her. Protect our child. I thought Palpatine understood, but he used me, I see that now.” Anakin lowered his head.

“Then do the right thing old friend, come with me. Come back to the light old friend.” Obi-Wan held out his hand. Anakin looked **** at first, but then he extended his.

The sound of a blaster shot rang out, Obi-Wan felt a terrible pain behind him. He looked to see Padme pointing her blaster at him. When Obi-Wan turned back to Anakin, a blue lightsaber was headed towards him.

His body hit the floor in seconds.

Anakin saw his master fall before him, the **** began to surge through him, with his old master killed by his hand, the darkside within him became stronger.

Padme suddenly dropped her blaster and looked shaken. But it was not from shooting Obi-Wan.

“Anakin…the baby.” Padme groaned.

Anakin rushed towards Padme and held her in his arms.

“It’s ok, I got you.” Anakin comforted her. Suddenly he could hear another voice.

“I heard blaster shots is everyone…oh my.” Threepio called out.

“Threepio, help Padme to the ship, she’s going into labor.” Anakin ordered.

“What about master Kenobi?”

“He’s gone, take Padme now!” Anakin yelled and the droid obeyed. As Padme was being led to the ship, Anakin felt a Dark presence.

His master had arrived.
