ACT II, 41.

We were outside in front of Anakin's and Obi-Wan's ship. They were ready to go. Jar-Jar and knights were all around us. My father was also here to thank Anakin for taking care of me before he leaves. I walk over him as I see Obi-Wan entering the ship just behind Anakin. I smile at the jedi and speak up.

"Are you sure you will have enough food?" I ask to make sure.

Anakin stifles a laugh since it is the fourth time I am asking this morning. But I just wanted to make sure they will be alright. I wanted to make sure they will not starve.

"Yes, do not worry." He says.

I smile a little more at him as I look down. This crown was so heavy on my head and this just kept reminding that I am maybe not up to the task. Maybe I am not made to be a Queen and these responsibilities feels way too heavy for my shoulders.

"Goodbye my Queen." He says.

I look up at him and meets his gaze. Is this how our goodbyes will look like now that I am Queen? Or is it just because there is people around us? Probably both I guess. He smiles at me as he steps back and walk away. But I do not want him to leave like this. It is unbearable to watch.

I stop him from his track. I wrap my hand around his arm as I call his name. I can not let him go like this. I want to tell him I'll miss him. I want to tell him I love him, I want him to say he loves me. I want to feel his lips against mine. Before he leaves for months and months.

I raise my hand a little bit and move my fingers. A purple era starts floating in the air. My power coats the people around us and they disappear in a purple smoke. Anakin frowns in a confused and terrified way, scared I just made them disappear forever. But I did not.

I just changed the reality. They see Anakin and I talking normally, and from our reality, our point of view, they're just not here anymore. I look up at Anakin and meet his eyes.

"Please be careful Anakin." I say.

He smiles and walks over me as he slides his metal arm on my cheek, but I could not feel the cold of it since he hides it with a glove. He approaches his face to mine and whispers.

"I promise you... I will come back as soon as possible. I love you." He says.

I can not help but smile. He slides his other hand on my hips and approaches my body to his. He smashes his lips on mine and kisses me like this is the last time our lips touch. I smile against his mouth as I feel a billion of butterfly flying in my stomach.

Our kiss ends, I ink my gaze in his as his thumb caresses my cheek so tenderly. So so tenderly. He lays his forehead on mine, our noses touches and we both closes our eyes, enjoying this moment.

"I love you too..." I whisper.

I can feel him smiling before he takes my hand in his and start walking away. We look at each other one last time before he turns his back to me and leave. Our fingers touch one last time before he lets go and leaves for good. I see him entering the ship and the door closes. I sigh and make Jar-Jar, my father and the knights appear again. They all look confused but I do not care.

I walk away and enter the palace as I walk over the meeting room where I was demanded. I look over my shoulder one last time, seeing Obi-Wan and Anakin's ship flying away. I sigh, hoping everything will be fine for them, especially for Anakin. I'll let Obi-Wan knows that if they need any help to find the chancellor, Naboo and its army would be pleased to help them.

I enter the meeting room with Jar Jar and face about ten men and two women. Political people. I smile politely at them, although I know deep down half of these people do not like me and would rather see me dead than ruling over Naboo.

"Good morning your Highness.

- Good morning Al'Rik." I say as I smile at the very small man.

And when I say small, I mean it. Like very very tiny. He is 4'7 I think. But he is one of the rare political man to actually like me a little bit. He does not care if I am a witch or if I am crazy, all he cares about is me making sure to protect Naboo and the galaxy.

"Good morning every one." I address myself to the rest of the people.

They all smile awkwardly. Well, perfect. I can feel and smell the strong scent of embarrassment here. I sigh discretely as I walk over the big round table, followed by Jar Jar.

"Good morning Queen Naberrie. We wanted to see you so you can sign some papers for the Senate and eventually papers concerning your crowning. Senator Organa says.

- My crowning? I took the royal oath, isn't it enough?" I ask.

The member of the Senate looks at each other in silent, I sit down on my chair as Jar-Jar stops just behind the chair. Since I am Queen, he will assist me. Senator Organa clears his throat as he turns to me.

"Well, unfortunately, no. I fear this is not enough." He says.

I roll my eyes and sighs in annoyance, not even trying to hide how bothered I was. Farahssa, a member of the Senate straightens from her chair and speaks up as she points the papers in front of me.

"But do not worry my Queen, your sister and the former Queen, Padme Amidala signed the same papers. Except for one of them." She says.

I do not like her. And I know she does not like me either. But in politics, we have to learn to put aside our differences in order to cooperate and fight for the same things. She was one of them, the people who wanted to see me between the bars under surveillance like an animal.

I look down the paper and leaf through them before landing on a paper that catches my attention. I frown.

"One of them is a paper to make sure you won't jeopardize Naboo and its people." She keeps going.

I take the paper between my fingers and put it on top of every other paperworks. I can see the logo of the Senate and the Jedi Order on top of it. I sigh discretely.

"Because of your power, of course. I do not think it is a surprise. You know your power are very destructive and are endangering the whole galaxy."

I keep reading the paper as I tried to keep listening to her talking. "The Queen must not use her power in front of people", "If this magic would endanger people's live, Naboo and her Queen will have to face heavy and severe penalties", "The Queen must not use her power to put the government in jeopardy. She will not read minds, control people or warp reality as she desires" and a dozens of other conditions I did not ask for.

My heart was pounding. I could not believe it. This is another proof, a proof that they do not trust me. They fear me, they fear the person I am. Who I truly am. And it hurts so much. So fucking much. It keeps reminding me that I will never be the Queen my sister was, people will remember me as the Queen who should have never been. This will be my title. Forever, and I will never be able to let go of it.

They see me as a monster, someone who was sent to kill them, to reduce galaxies to nothing, like a black hole. Something, someone more terrifying than a black hole, someone more powerful. But maybe I am. Maybe somebody sent me to kill them, maybe it is my destiny. Maybe this is why I was born, I was born to end everything.

"Are you feeling okay, my Queen?" I hear Al'Rik voice echoing in my ears, waking me up from my nightmare.

I look up at him, and he notices the drops of sweat on my forehead. I blink a several times before nodding positively. I look down the paper before reaching out my hand to Jar-Jar asking him for a pen. He hands one to me, I take it and gently places the lead on the paper. I look at it one last time.

It felt like the pen was about to explodes in my hands. And the ink was about to splash people's face like blood. I take a deep breath as the pen's lead was almost crashing against the paper. I could see a puddle of ink around the lead.

I close my eyes, breath, open them, and sign. And every time my wrist was moving, I was saying goodbye to my liberties, to myself. To who I am. Who I was. I do not want to let all of this behind me, because even though these abilities make my life difficult, I can not and I do not want to deny them. But maybe it is the best decision to make.
