WILD | Anakin Skywalker |

T H I R T E E N

Everyone including Anakin felt their heart rate pick up rapidly at the new loud beeping. It was like a countdown until they were blown to bits. Padme grabbed her sisters hand and squeezed it tight, ignoring her previous anger and envy at the fact that Alora somehow had his lightsaber. Right now all that mattered is that they could die right here.

"All right everyone huddle into a group as tight as possible I have an idea but it's going to be rough." Anakin instructed, followed by everyone listening to the Jedi and quickly huddling up. They watched as he turned on his lightsaber and stabbed it straight through the ground before running around the group of senators in a circle, carving a hole in the floor.

Alora cursed to herself as she realized what was about to happen and seconds later she along with everyone else was following through the floor at the same time the previous room exploded. The blonde landed against the ground hard with a loud thud, squeezing her eyes in pain at the way she landed straight on her back- banging her head in the process quite hard. She most definitely had a concussion.

Padme stood up and brushed off the dust off her dress and went to help her younger sister sit up. "Are you ok? How many fingers am I holding up?" She put up three fingers and Alora just pushed them out of her face.

"I'm fine, I'm currently in one piece and not a billion so I'm great." She stated, using Padme's help to stand up. "Thanks to General Skywalker that is" she smiled at Anakin who smirked back, clipping his light saber safely to his belt.

"It is my job" he shrugged nonchalantly.

"But in all seriousness Padme, let's go to the medic bay because I'm about to pass out" Alora commented feeling the room begin spinning around her before she collapsed to the ground in a heap of purple fabric.

About two months later, Alora's concussion had gone away and the war raged on. Everyday she learned more and more about politics and how to act in front of politicians, slowing maturing into someone Padme could be a bit more proud of. Of course, she wasn't going to change she was just playing a part.

As for her agreement with Anakin, the day after the incident at the senate building he had to deal with Cad Bane yet again. Which left him on Coruscant an extra day, which let him sneak into Alora's room that night before he was sent off elsewhere in the galaxy to be the hero he was. That was the last time they saw each other in two months.

Alora had debated hooking up with a random person multiple times seeing as Anakin wasn't her boyfriend and she could do what she wanted with who she wanted. And she had come close to it too but when it came down to go back to the room where things would happen, she backed out only thinking about Anakin. She couldn't do it. And that little realization scared her to death.

"Alora? Could you please go grab me some more ink from the supply closet down the hall? I'm finishing up my notes here and I'm running low. The quicker I finish this and get them to the Chancellor the quicker we get home to relax." Padme asked her sister who she noticed had just been standing and looking out the window quietly. She too noticed a lack of 'Aloraness' lately and she couldn't figure it out.

"Oh, yeah. I was just observing" Alora sighed, stepping down from the platform where she stood. The blonde made her way out into the hallway and down the hall to the supply closet where she gathered up a few cartridges of ink for her sister. She was bored and she knew she wanted something to do but there was nothing to do. She couldn't bring herself to talk to men anymore, she didn't want to get drunk, and she didn't feel the need to act out. She was hollow.

The sun was setting in Coruscant. The golden rays illuminated the halls of the senate building as many senators finished up their daily duties and headed home. A lot of which walked by, eyeing the young girl and taking in the way the sun made the girl blonde hair shine and stand out against her pale skin and powder pink dress. While the girl began behaving better, her style stayed the same. She wore a light pink dress which had two ribbons that tied on each shoulder to hold it up and a deep V-cut back. The skirt was made of silk and fell loosely around her thighs, overall adding to her natural beauty.
