LIVE IN YOUR LIGHT | anakin skywalker x fem oc

28.

We were in a box admiring the light show. Anakin was sitting next to me, blue and pink lights illuminated our faces, it was really beautiful. Bright sheets looked like they were floating around bright flowers. It was like being in an aquarium, it was relaxing.

I could see the chancellor across the room in his box, his gaze insistent on us. I don't know if was looking at Anakin or me, but he wasn't paying attention to the show, I decided to focus on it instead.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I ask Anakin.

There is a silence for a few short moments before Anakin speaks up answering my question.

"Yes, it's beautiful."

I turn to him before meeting his eyes. He smiles softly at me. I roll my eyes before speaking up.

"I was talking about the show..." I say exasperated.

Anakin stifles a laugh, I smile softly before he places his hand discreetly on mine and interlaces our fingers. I then lower my eyes to our hands before raising them to Anakin.

"I know." He says simply.

He turns back to the show, starting to look at it again. And after half an hour, the show was over. We got up and walked out into a long hallway. There were other rich people, politicians or royalty, for whom the boxes were reserved. As we were about to cross the hallway, I heard a voice call out to me.

"Senator."

I turned around followed by Anakin before I saw the chancellor. Ugh... I had no desire to talk to him. If it's going to leave me stumped at the end, no thanks. The Chancellor walks up to us with a big smile on his face. I then take my courage in both hands and offer him the most hypocritical smile I've ever had to give.

"How nice to see you, you look lovely.

- Hello chancellor. Thank you." I say.

The chancellor turns to his bodyguard, I take the opportunity to discreetly roll my eyes before the old man starts talking again.

"Are you all right? Still no alarming things in relation to the current situation?"

There he goes again with his weird questions. I answer him.

"No, nothing." I lie.

I know he knows I'm lying. But I don't care. I don't see how it was any of his business.

"You should be careful... Your powers can endanger the safety of your loved ones."

I frown, tilting my head to the side, not seeing what he was getting at. He then continues in his speech.

"What I'm trying to tell you is that people could be targeting your loved ones to try to get to you."

I nod slowly. Okay, I see his type. He's one of those politicians who wants to harm me because they think I'm a danger to the republic. I step toward him.

"Is that a threat?"

I immediately feel Anakin come up behind me, just in case. The Chancellor smiles slyly at me before telling me that he is not.

"That's what I thought."

I run my tongue against my cheek creating a lump, before turning around. I am about to leave followed by Anakin. I stop immediately. I have one last thing to say to him. I turn to the chancellor who was still looking at me. I walk over to him before I start whispering.

"You shouldn't play this little game with me. Touch one hair on my head whether it be my friends or family and I swear to you I will burn your little government to the ground starting with the disappearance of every atom that makes up this planet."

The chancellor's smile slowly disappears. I then continue in my speech.

"I will make your worst nightmares a reality." I say, referring to all the things the politicians feared by leaving me in the wild.

The chancellor raises his eyebrows and stifles a laugh. Then he answers me.

"That's a threat.

- What? No. Just a warning."

I smiled politely at the chancellor before turning back around followed by Anakin who had started talking to me.

"You're out of your mind... You're not afraid of death.

- Oh Ani... He won't touch a hair on my head. I'd have him buried six feet under before he had a chance to speak to me."

Anakin smiled softly before bringing his face up to my ear and speaking, whispering a few words into it.

"You're hot when you're pissed."

A chuckle forms at the corner of my lips. I turn my face to Anakin, who had stepped back.

"Shut up you idiot."

Anakin starts to laugh. We join the ship.

I was packing my bag to leave tomorrow morning for Naboo. Anakin was playing with a metal sphere with the force watching me pack. I closed my first bag before speaking.

"So, the advice to accept that you will still accompany me to Naboo?"

Anakin then sets the sphere down before walking over to me and answering me by sitting on my bed.

"Yes, they have accepted."

I smile softly. I was happy to be going back to Naboo. I feel more at home and safe there. I can go out for a walk without having someone following me all the time. I would feel a little more free.

"Do you still do archery?

- Yes, but I stopped for a few weeks because I got rid of my bow and had to get a new one. But I have another one now.

- Did you get rid of it?

- Well, I had lost control of my powers and it disappeared." I said, stifling a laugh.

Anakin laughed lightly. I start to put my clothes away at the bottom of a bag before I speak again.

"By the way, I don't know if you know but Padme is getting crowned tomorrow morning. She will become Queen of Naboo.

- Really? That's great. I guess we won't get to wait for the coronation.

- No, unfortunately." I said with a sigh.

Still, I was proud of her. It was a big responsibility, running a kingdom. I could never do it.

author's note
hi guys:) i know that in the star wars storyline, padme has already been the queen of Naboo for like 2 years but in this story, the Naberrie family is like the royal family of Naboo, which means that the king/queen title is being transferred only in the family.
