3 - The Council

"I-I've lost the Princess."

"What the devil do you mean, you've 'lost the Princess'?! You had one job Anakin-" Obi-Wan seemed disappointed.

"Obi-Wan, now's not really time for a lecture don't you think? (y/n) is not in her room, not in the corridor, something could have happened to her!"

"Princess (y/n), Anakin. Calm yourself, my friend. We will find her. I'll be there soon."

Obi-Wan ends the transmission with a click and I lower my wrist back down to my sides. I run my hands through my hair stressfully as I pace the room. The council is gonna have my head if something has happened to (y/n)... saying that they'll probably have my head anyways. I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if she's hurt, what the hell is she going to think of me?! I promised her no harm would come to her and now she's vanished off into the night!

Whatever I do, I can not let the Senator from Solaris find out about this. He trusted me with the Princess' life, and if she happens to be dead or injured, I am going to be in deeper trouble than a lecture from Obi-Wan.  In the meantime, I search for clues in (y/n)'s room which could possibly lead me to her. Unfortunately, I find nothing, but I do hear a knock on the door.

"Princess (y/n)?" I call out. The door slides open and in walks my Master.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just me."

"That's not funny."

"It amused me, my paranoid friend. Now, where do you think we can find her?" Obi-Wan laughed.

I thought hard for a second. "Don't you think I would have already gone if I knew?"

"You don't think that her disappearance possibly could have anything to do with the clone who brought her to us earlier today? I happened to notice them have a rather brief conversation. CT-4974, I believe?"

"That's Moxie, he's from my battalion. I could track him, if you think he is a possible lead to (y/n)'s disappearance," I said to Obi-Wan walking back to my bedroom. He nodded to me and I pulled out my data pad, inputting Moxie's details so I could track him. "He's stationed in the East Wing... that's strange. He should be with the other troops, not here in the Senate building."

"Maybe we should pay him a visit then," Obi-Wan smirked. I nod to him, and we both sprint off towards the East Wing. As we ran, I couldn't stop thinking about (y/n) and the danger she could be in.. because of me. I could sense Obi-Wan was conflicted also, but my thoughts were solely centred on (y/n) and (y/n) only.

As we reached the East Wing, Obi-Wan held out his hand for me to stop. He reached for his lightsaber and held the hilt in his grasp as we sneaked around the corner. I could hear faint voices down the corridor, so hope was slowly regaining in me. As we walked further down the corridor, I noticed a clone stood with a familiar young woman in a lilac silk nightgown.

{Y/N POV}

"What do you mean you didn't find anything?!" I demand.

Moxie sighs from under his helmet. "I wasn't allowed entry into Sarin's office. It was locked, your highness. I couldn't even bug his apartment to listen in. I'm sorry."

I turn away from him and  attempt to walk away, annoyed that I am yet again clueless on how to help my people and what is to become of them.

As I start to walk, Moxie suddenly grabs my arm, pulling me backwards. "Princess, I really am sorry-"

I stare at his hand on my arm, and then I suddenly hear footsteps approaching us. We both turn to look and find Obi-Wan and Anakin sprinting towards us, lightsabers in hand.
