Ch.3 - Nightmare
Anakin and Padme had eventually found their way to what was to be known as "The Chosen Palace". They had partied…they had laughed…they had enjoyed each other's company…but as does happen, they got tired…and decided to sleep.
The whole building was so magnificently fancy. It was beautiful. All the furniture was comfortable. All the windows were huge. The designs were unlike any other. It was a little hard to turn their eyes from the scene of their home…to sleep, but they did it…for awhile.
Anakin you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow.
Because of Obi-Wan?
No, because of what you've done, what you plan to do. Stop, stop now.
Come back, I love you.
Liar! You are with him. You've brought him here to kill me...
Padme awoke that night…from a nightmare. She was breathing heavily as she shot up from her sleeping position, but tried to contain herself. After about ten minutes, she had gotten a hold of herself, and leaned over her husband to breathe in his intoxicating scent…that always consumed her.
"Anakin?" Padme whispered sweetly into Anakin's ear.
"Yeah?" he asked, turning towards her.
They had slept decently well that night, but Padme had been constantly awoken that night…and she wasn't about to keep things from her husband. Not anymore.
"I can't sleep," she said.
"Really?" he asked smirking. He kissed her deeply and pulled her close to him. Once their lips had parted he gazed at her lovingly.
"Any better?"
"Well…,that was nice…"
"But?" he asked.
"I didn't exactly sleep," she said, giggling.
"Alright," Anakin said, flipping on the switch in their bedroom and sitting up against the smooth bed frame.
"Would you like to explain yourself, then?" Padme giggled, but sat up as well and took a deep breath.
"I don't know what it is Ani," she said, twiddling her fingers between her brunette locks of hair. "I just don't feel right." Anakin was puzzled, and confused. He wanted to help her, but he didn't know exactly what she was getting at.
"I'm not sure I understand," he said.
"Do you love me?" she asked, staring deeply into his crystal blue eyes.
"Of course," he said confidently. Padme dropped her gaze into her fidgeting hands, and sighed. "Padme," he said, bringing her chin up so she could look into his eyes and see the truth within them, "I love you more than anything. I always have, and I always will. You dobelieve me, right?" he asked, concerned. Padme smiled slightly.
"Yes, I do believe that you love me, but…" she turned her head, looking, perhaps for something she could not find.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I just don't want to lose you," she said, a silver tear sparkling down her cheek.
"Oh Padme," he said, bringing her as close to him as he could imagine. "The bad is over. You don't have to worry anymore. We're in heaven! Eternity is forever!" he said, trying to push some positivism on her.
"I guess you're right," Padme said after many long moments. She wrapped her long, slender arms around his neck and hid her face within it.
"Of course I am," he said, brushing the silky waves of hair out of Padme's face, and kissing her cheek.
"I guess I just can't believe it," she said, bringing herself back enough to look into his eyes. Her eyes sparkled and the fear left her. Whatever she had been worried about was gone…after all, it is eternity…nothing can really can go wrong.
Anakin was still a little edgy at wondering what she had been so worried about, but after he caught a glance of the twinkles in her eyes…he could not help, but be happy. No one can ruin this. No one can hurt us anymore. We're happy…and we're gonna stay that way.
