Alora hated the dress now. She wanted to rip it off and throw it over the balcony. Atleast that's what her heart wanted her to do while her brain knew she had to wear it for the mission.

She sauntered down the steps, not feeling a third of the confidence she normally had but tried her best to mask that. "Miss. Amidala, as my honored guest please share this drink with me!" Senator Dod exclaimed, swiping a tall chalice from his servants tray and taking a small sip. He wiped off where he drank and handed it to the blonde, who cautiously took a long sip of the beverage.

"Thank you. I appreciate the hospitality." Alora smiled, hooking arms with Clovis who stared down the girl like she was a piece of meat.

"Come, let's go feast!" Senator Dod smiled as he lead the guests into his dining room. The dinner was awkward for Alora, not wanting to be there and having Clovis' lustful eyes on her the entire time didn't help.

Throughout the dinner though, the young girl started to feel like something was wrong. Her eyes felt fuzzy and her head felt like she was in the clouds and not in a good way. "Dinner was lovely, my compliments to the droids." She stated, standing up and immediately falling back into her seat. Clovis rushed to stand up, and gripped the girls arm in concern. "I'm ok. Just stood up too fast."

"Perhaps I should take you to your chambers then. Unless you would like a n exclusive tour of the palace." Clovis offered. Alora did not feel good- at all. But she had to get something so she agreed on the tour.

She had to hold on tight to Clovis' arm, blinking rapidly just to keep from passing out. She was beginning to think she was drugged and that alarmed her greatly. Was she in danger?

Meanwhile, Anakin had re-entered the palace and was pacing inside Alora's room. He too had been left with his thoughts. Anakin wished that there was a way for him to take back what he said to her, about commitment. Because he knows that's all he wants- for her to be his and only his. He hated the idea that Clovis could touch her or kiss her. The thought made his blood boil. So when threepio comes into the room and explains she is completely alone with the man, Anakin immediately began to search for the pair.

Alora and Clovis had made it into the study and by that time Alora was not well. Her skin was visibly paler and her eyes were dull, barely able to be kept open. Her legs were weak yet she carried on, refusing to retire to her chambers with nothing. "Clovis I-I would really appreciate a glass of water." She managed to get out, placing a hand on her forehead to try and stop the spinning.

"Of course, wait right here." He exclaimed before hurrying to the kitchen. Alora forced herself over to the hologram reader and turned it on, narrowing her eyes at the big building that was before her. She had no idea what it was but she quickly downloaded the file onto a hard drive, a mere few seconds before Clovis came back. "Here, drink this my love."

Alora stepped forward with the device hidden behind her back and used her free hand to take a long sip of the water. Not feeling much relief at this point. "So refreshing" she hummed.

"Alora, give me your hand." Clovis demanded, holding his hand out to the girl. Alora panicked and threw herself onto the man with the last bit of strength she had left in her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding herself up against him.

"I'm just so happy to have met you and to be here" she lied, feeling herself slowly begin to slip away. Her eyes caught sight of Anakin and she weakly waved the device, explaining why she was doing what she was. Anakin nodded, still wanting nothing more than to shove his lightsaber through Clovis, quickly calling the device to him with the force.

"Your heart is racing? Is that because of me?" Clovis asked, placing his hands on the girls waist. In his mind, he couldn't wait to hear the next words. Because if she said yes he would take her straight to his room and claim his prize.
