Me:I was thinking of this song when writing this as Padmé decides to run away! It just fits so well!
(little tip, it's much better when listened when you close your eyes.)
Injoy!

"Padmé... We have talked about this.
The order had to die. I had no choice it was the only way to save you. "

Silence between them signified. Her back was against her husband,
the Emperor. He was dressed in black with dark purple underneath, his eyes threatened to turn yellow.

As they both stood in a grand decorated room in Naboo covered in gold and red. It was just miday as the sun was shining through the curtains.

How many times have they argued like this? The headaches they cause. Three months had passed.
It wasn't always liked this after he became Emperor.
If he was just lucky enough, he might get a peck on the cheek and not have her sleep on the couch, but at least not near the twins they argued.
About what happened that night.

He was the victor in that battle against Obi-wan and killed him, leaving him to burn but the most oddest thing was that when they came back for his remains, nothing was there. Just disappeared.

Palatine however, he was stabbed by him with ease as the clones whispered.

Padmé remembered how he choked her with his rage as she lightly touched her throat, of course she forgiven him she learnt how to.
But she knew he didn't and probably never, at a rare glances through the day or week, she saw his piercing blue eyes filled with guilt. Made her feel bad that he could not move on but in an aspect he did deserve it.

But someway or another it showed that Anakin was still there.
Just heavily sleeping.

Of course if anyone address him as Anakin instead of "Lord Vader or Emperor" they would be punished extreme measures, such as force push as hard to fracture bones or break them that displeased her and often scouled at him where he just stared at her with a serious face and simply stated "Men had died for less" she replied "What do you mean by that!" with a face full of shock.

"I think you do know."

Even when it accidentally slips out of her mouth. He slowly turns at her and held no going back with his eyes blazing gold showing she was mistaken and it was the wrong man.

A warning.

She held her tongue, "Then your just a stranger for I would never marry someone like you!"

She urged to shout but that would only make things worse.

If she does it again he tells her in a voice that scares her.
A voice that made men tumble and beg for mercy.

She doesn't dare to cross that line.
But soon she would.

How dare he used that tone but she could not leave. They had children.
They were a bridge and were one of the only ones in the universe to bring Anakin out with little to no effort as Padmé didn't have the heart to separate them and would probably drive him more to the dark side. He was still her husband and made a promise to be with him and little by little, a bit of Ani comes out.
Just a little.

However despite that effort, they argued. They haven't argued for four days. Their record was a week and a day not included him gone on missions. But now she must fight for he was wrong about everything. Democracy may have its flaws but it was certainly better than this dictatorship!

"But I was not going to die and it was a lie! That's one of the reasons why you killed Palatine in the first place after ruling the galexy!"

"Yes I did. And you turned out fine thanks to me."
