If She Was Alive

Chapter 1

Padme's POV

I was sitting in the cave as I always do. Even though I am not force sensitive like Master Yoda I have learned how to control my visions and thoughts. I usually have at least two flashbacks a week but this week I have had so many more. I felt an unusual presence. Almost like when I was around Anakin, now known as Darth Vader. I wish he never turned. I feel like it is my fault. I think he turned for me so I wouldn't die in childbirth. He was the best person I knew. He could make me happy anytime. We had faked my death so he wouldn't find me. Apparently they held a funeral for me, at least that's what Master Yoda told me. I don't even know if my family on Naboo knows I am alive. I just wish I could come out of exile and live like I did before. I wish I knew if my children were alright.

I was woken from my thoughts when I saw a light down on the other side of the cave. I started making my ways towards it and noticed a boy swinging a lightsaber at what looked like Darth Vader. I screamed in my head no when the boy cut his head off. The figure fell but when his helmet came off it was the boys face. I looked at it in confusion. The boy noticed me and turned his lightsaber towards my face. I looked at it in shock. It was Anakin's lightsaber.

I looked up to the boy when he said "Who are you?" The funny thing was he looked so much like Anakin.

"Luke" I whispered so lightly. He looked exactly like Anakin. Same eyes, same hair and so many other features. I realized he asked me a question and replied "I'm Padme. I live with Yoda."

"Who are you?" I asked him even though I already knew the answer.

"I'm Luke, Luke Skywalker." He put his hand out to shake mine. I shook his hand and we made our way out of the cave. We met up with Yoda outside of his hut.

"Luke can you gives us a minute?"

"Of course." He replied curiously. He walked away and I sat down next to Yoda.

"Why didn't you tell me he was here. I noticed Anakin's lightsaber. Where did he get it? I want you to tell me everything you know about why he is here."

Yoda turned towards me and said "Many questions you have. With the Rebel Alliance he is. Come to train he has."

"You know I didn't want that for him. He should know who I am. I have to go see him." I started walking away but Master Yoda stopped me with his cane.

"No. Wait you must. Know about his father he does not." Yoda replied. I started walking back to the hut. I sat on my bed and looked at Luke. He was looking at me with curiosity.

After a minute I asked him "Why are you staring at me?"

Luke then realized he was staring and told me "Oh sorry. It's just you look like a good friend of mine."

"What's her name?" I asked curiously.

"Leia. She is one of the leaders of the rebel alliance." He sighed and lied down on the floor.

"Leia." I whispered to myself.

Luke started to fall asleep so I lied down. My beauty rest was interrupted by a droid beeping. It was Artoo- Detoo! I missed him so much.

"Artoo" I whispered to him. "Do you remember me?"

"Of course I do. Mistress Padme. How good it is to see you."

"Artoo?" I asked him. "How did you get into the possession of Luke?"

"It's a long story. Is he yours? I remember you were pregnant. Everyone thought you died."

"I know Artoo. It was for my children's safety. I had twins you know. One girl and one boy. The girl is known as Princess Leia of Alderaan and then Luke Skywalker."

Luke suddenly started saying stuff in his sleep. I recognized a word, Vader. He must be having a nightmare. I walked up to him and stroked his hair like a mother would do to her son. He calmed down and fell back into a peaceful sleep. I lied down on my bed and went to sleep.
