Sorry everyone for the slow updating, I promised I would begin updating at least once a week. But it's hard with school and sports, plus trying to have a social life. Thanks for all the votes and comments. Please keep doing that, it makes me feel like my writing is actually good. This is a short chapter, but I promise the next one will be longer.

It was hot and I was drenched in sweat. I wished to bury her in a more cool and beautiful planet. But everyone else thought it best she should be buried where she lived. Even though all she ever wanted was to explore the galaxy. They decided to bury her a few yards away from the farm. I guess in our absence Owen had grown very close to our mother. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, he had silent tears streaming down his face. I pitied him.

Cliegg gave a speech explaining how wonderful of a person she was. I couldn't pay attention to him because I was staring at Anakin the entire time. I was concerned about him, but I knew Padmè would console him if need be. But who would console me? I  turned back towards my mothers grave and stared at the stone for what felt like ever.

"Goodbye my darling wife, and thank you." I heard Cliegg finish.

Anakin stepped forward and slowly knelt down on the sand. He picked a handful of sand up from the ground and played with it in his hand while he spoke. I knew it was hard for him to hold the sand, he had always hated sand.

"I wasn't strong enough. But I promise I won't fail again. I miss you." He stood up and began silently crying. He didn't leave he just stood there. Suddenly  KT rolled  towards us making a beeping sound. I knew something was wrong, this was probably a sign telling me to returns to Obi-Wan now. I sighed heavily and turned towards the mourning group and looked down sadly.

"I feel I have to return to my mission now." I stated with sadness, it was to early to move on. She had only died yesterday. This is the price I pay for joining the Jedi order.

"So soon?" Owen asked with red eyes.

"Sadly." I nodded my head still looking down.

"It was an honor to meet you, I hope we see again sometime in the future." Cliegg smiled with sadness. I looked up at him and lightly smiled.

"You will see me again."

I slowly walked up to where Anakin stood in front of our mothers grave, he carefully turned around and faced me. He held so much sadness in his eyes. I wrapped my arms around his lower torso, since I was to short to reach the top half of his body. I looked up at him and he nodded knowing that I wished to be alone with my mother for a moment. I knelt down and looked straight at the grave.

"I promise mom I will do everything in my power to protect him, I will keep him safe. I swear. I hope I make you proud. I love you." I slowly declared. I put my fingers to my lips and gave them a light kiss, than placed my hands on the edge of the stone. I pushed myself up from the ground and turned around. I began walking away with KT following behind me. I entered my ship and saw I had a transmission from Obi-Wan.

"Hello Aisley I've seen to have gotten myself in a bit of a problem due to your absence." He formally spoke. I rolled my eyes, he could not blame me for his mistake. Wherever he was I could tell it was a windy planet.

"I have sent you the coordinates of where I wish for you to meet me." He explained.

"Please hurry. I fear there may be a larger plot going on. I am going to try to contact your brother after this. May the force be with you." He silently pleaded. That was the end of the recording.

"Oh Ben, what have you gotten yourself into this time?" I fake sighed with a smirk. I put the coordinates in the ship and flew away from my former home. I prayed I would never return to this wretched planet.
