Padme Naberrie Skywalker // Star Wars

That man that slaughtered the younglings, that couldn't have been Anakin. Her hands rested on her stomach as she sat there, listening to Obi-wan talk and she couldn't believe it. That couldn't have been Anakin! Surely it must have been someone else. Anakin wouldn't do that, not with what she had going on inside her. She didn't believe Obi-wan, even after he was gone, she still felt there must be some mistake and it couldn't have been her husband. Everything sunk in and she realized that something had overtaken her husband, something she didn't understand, nor did she want to understand at that time. It was then that she got on the ship and headed to the fire planet.

Even the man she confronted there wasn't Anakin, the eyes were so cold. Dark. When he called her a liar and then used to force to choke her....it was all over. That...was not her husband. It was a pawn in everyone's game. It was a shame that she would have to pay the price for what he had become.

No one knew what troubled her sleep. When her hands would reach up and fight something, go to her throat. No one questioned it either. It was these nights when Anakin was gone that she did it, when he was there, no one knew how to help her either. All they could do was watch and frown.

It was that night though that they heard a ship landing and they all scurried towards it. They knew who it was. It was Anakin. Her husband, returning from wherever he had gone this time. They addressed the issue at hand with him, telling him of her tossing and turning and it just caused him to growl softly under his breathe. They all moved out of his way once he started walking towards the room.

He slipped in and changed, sliding into bed with her and pulling her against him. It took her a while before she calmed down and rested against him, the nightmare passing. He hated knowing he caused this, but he knew it was something he couldn't change.

When Padme went to bed sometimes, her dreams were of Mustafar. The fire filled planet that took her husband from her sometime ago. The hands going around her neck, and his words ringing in her ears. Liar. And even now, with her husband back, she still couldn't shake those dreams, they haunted her. And she hated it, maybe someday those dreams would end. Maybe.

Am I a overly superstitious person? No. I believe that everything happens for a reason. There is some small form in the universe that plots to do things at it's own will. Seeing weary of something for a folk lore seems out of the question. I don't believe that harm will come to you if you walk under a ladder, or that your marriage will be doomed if the groom sees you in your wedding dress before the wedding. Superstitions get over used and are simply there for a lot of people to blame their indiscretions on, or blame for something going wrong when they thought it wouldn't. Silly things.

The answer to that one, should be so very simple. So, so simple. It should be I'm Padme Naberrie. Instead it's a twist of turns and things that one could never imagine. I suppose however, I should let you in on who and what I am exactly should I not?

My birth name is Padme Naberrie. I was born on Naboo, a country that I would soon come to be Queen of. I was fourteen years old when I took the throne of Naboo. I was a very good Queen, and people did in fact hail me, but the trade federation wanted me dead, tried to force me to sign a treaty that would give them rights that I did not think that they should have. My faithful and dear friend Sabe was with me the entire time. She posed as me quite a few times when we thought that a situation called for it. It was as a handmaiden that I met a young Anakin Skywalker. The fate that was to come was the army of the droids were defeated and Naboo was freed. Palpatine raised in powers.

I served my term as Queen, and when all was said and done I became Senator Amidala. I hadn't seen Anakin in many years now, him training with Obi-wan to become a Jedi. I did in fact miss him. He was assigned to me to protect me, and I was taken to Naboo for safety. Anakin and I struggled more then perhaps people should with their feelings. However we made it through for the most part, it was hard, but I felt that I was doing the right thing. Obi-wan was captured and we went to save him, but got caught ourselves. We thought that were going to die, professed our love, were rescued and married secretly.

Anakin got higher up, got more jobs and was away more often then with me, but when we were, it was one of the best things in my life. I was with child the one time he came back, and I couldn't wait to tell him. It was perhaps the happiest moment of our lives. Then the darkness started to take over, started to form around him like a dark cloud that couldn't be stopped. He was being manipulated, used, by both sides, not only one. The sith and the jedi were both a cause for my husbands demise, not just the sith. Anakin thought he killed me, killed our children, what he didn't know, was that the Jedi fooled everyone. Just as they always did. We have two beautiful children. Luke and Leia. They have their father's eyes and their mother's smile. Before my sleep, I remember seeing them, seeing Obi-wan being there, remember telling him that Anakin wasn't all lost. That he could be saved, and then everything went black.

If you want to ask me who I am? I am Padme Naberrie Skywalker, wife of Anakin Skywalker, mother of Luke and Leia, friend of Obi-wan, and former Queen of Naboo.

But then again I feel there is no simple answer to who I am. I am simply a woman, who is trying to piece her life back together after many many things that have happened, and trying to find a sense of peace that I may never find.
