Soheila

We all took a seat and spoke about the situation, Padme was refusing to take what was happening seriously, no matter how much I tried to get her to come to terms with the matter.

"We will find out who's trying to kill you Padme, I promise you." Anakin said reassuringly.

"Ani, that's not why we're here." I said.

"Yes, we will not exceed our mandate young Padawan." Obi Wan agreed, frowning at Anakin.

"I meant it in the interest of protecting her master, I'm sure Soheila would agree with me." Anakin said, looking at me for reassurance.

"Yes, it would be an advantage to know who is trying to kill Padme, but we were sent here to protect her, nothing else, and we must obey the council Anakin." I say, giving him a look to indicate I was sorry.

As much as I wanted to agree with him, I knew it was wrong, and Anakin needed to know that.

"We will not go through this again Anakin, you will pay attention to my lead." Obi Wan said, he was obviously used to this behaviour from Anakin.

"Why?" Anakin answered back.

"What?" Obi Wan said.

Anakin, just listen to master Obi Wan.

He either didn't listen to me, or didn't hear me, because he carried on.

"Why else do you think we were assigned to her if not to find the killer? Protection is a job for security, not Jedi." Anakin said rudely.

I nudged his arm and gave him a 'stop it' look.

"We will all do what the council has instructed, and you will learn your place young one, just as Soheila has." Obi Wan said, fed up of Anakin.

Anakin had changed a lot, but no matter how stubborn he was I couldn't pretend I felt nothing around him, because I definitely did, and it was more than just what I felt as a little girl on tattooine.

"Perhaps with merely your presence, the mystery surrounding this threat will be revealed." Padme said, trying to change the subject.

"Yes, I hope so Padme." I said with a smile on my face, I was already sick of Obi Wan and Ani's bickering.

"Thank you, Soheila, now if you'll excuse me, I will retire." Padme said, standing up and walking to her room.

"Mesa busten wit happiness seein yous again Ani an Soheila." Jar Jar blurted out, I almost forgot he had came back with Padme, I hadn't seen him since tattoine.

"It's nice to see you too Jar Jar," I said with a smile, walking over to the window and looking at some of the beautiful buildings.

I felt a presence next to me, and looked to see Anakin.

"You know, I've thought about you every day since we parted." He said.

I blushed and looked down, "I've thought about you a lot too, Ani."

He took a step closer to me, our arms were touching, he opened his mouth to say something, but shut it just a quick when Obi Wan's voice was heard.

"Let's check the security." He said, walking towards the cameras.

"She covered the cameras, she programmed R2 to warn us if there's a threat, besides, me and Ani can sense everything going on in that room." I said.

"You're using her as bait?" Obi Wan asked.

"It was her idea!" Me and Anakin said at the same time.

A few minutes later I felt something was off, I looked at Anakin, and he looked at me. We both ran to the room, hoping nothing had happened to her.
