WHAT IS REAL

LI

Obi wan showed up at her apartment and petals started falling off the bushes. No matter how hard she screamed no one heard her. She looked at Obi wan as he was telling her these false things about Anankin and she threw Daggers at him but they never seemed to reach him. He was like a brick wall of a man determined to take away her love. She thought of Anakin and all the wonderful things he has done and of his tenderness toward her and love that had radiated off of him at one time. No her Anakin could not have done such things but then she thought of how things had changed in him and how fear took over and fear oozed out of every pore in his body until he had stunk of it. She started to waver but she pulled herself together. She would not give into Obi wan. He would never make her betray her love. She dismissed him with such force that many more petals fell off the bushes.

Padme went to the Senate Building because Palpatine had called an emergency meeting. When the Empire was born Rose bushes started dying. She could no longer stop the dying, but she knew who could and he would make things right again. She left in hopes of finding her loving, Caring, life-giving Anakin again, but she never found him. In his stead stood Vader, Vader threw Fire on the garden of her love. Everything was burned in the heat of Mustafar.

Vader stared at what he had done. He could not believe what devastation was left in the wake of his anger toward someone he realized he never quit loving. He burned her heart to ashes. He had taken away the wellspring of her life. He suddenly felt something he had never felt since that day. Remorse. He had blamed his actions on everyone and everything around him, but seeing this made him realize it was truly his own fault. He started weeping.

Qui Gon would not let him wallow in his tears though. He pointed to the garden again. Nothing seemed to happen at first but He saw that while she was unconscious she was searching for Anakin in her darkness. She must have found him in but the chains that held him were unbreakable. She kissed him and said, "One day you will rise up again and I will always believe in you." she walked away because there nothing else she could do.

She had the children and a seed that somehow had not burned up fell into the hard ground. Her love for her Children made it possible for the seed to live. She knew they were alive she did not know where they were but they were alive she had heard their cry. She would see them again someday just as she would see her Anakin again someday. The seed sat in the ground.
