Zelena stepped away from Obi-Wan as he continued to interrogate her about Anakin's whereabouts. "When was the last time you saw him or Cordalia?"
"Yesterday." Zelena answered truthfully as she walked towards the couches.
"And do you know where either of them are?" Zelena eyed everything ahead of her but her protruding stomach reminding her of him.
"No." She lied swallowing afterwards feeling guiltier by the second.
"Zelena," Obi-Wan stepped towarss her again. "I need your help. He is in grave danger."
Zelena whipped around to face him. "From the Sith?"
"From himself." Obi-Wan corrected her softly. "Zelena, Anakin has turned to the Dark Side."
Zelena's eyes narrowed as he stepped around her to look out over Coruscant. "You're wrong. How could you even say that?"
"I have seen a- a security hologram of him," Obi-Wan stopped walking as he stared blankly. "Killing youngling. And one of your sister killing her dragons."
"Not Anakin. He couldn't." Zelena looked at him as she pleaded with him. "And certainly not Cordalia. She couldn't possibly kill her own dragons."
"They were deceived by a lie." Obi-Wan turned to face the youngest Embara sister. "We all were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war." Obi-Wan steadily approached the young girl. "Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for and Cordalia the Sith Knight. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice."
Zelena turned away from him to sit down in shock. "I don't believe you. I can't." She breathed out as she sat down.
"Zelena, there's more." Zelena turned to look at Obi-Wan wearily. "The Chancellor had the Republic's Assassins incarcerated and tried for crimes against the Republic of which he found your mothet guilty."
"What are you saying?" Zelena breathed out tears already forming in her eyes.
"The execution held today. It was for your mother." Obi-Wan told her sadly. "Zarina was there. She saw the whole thing. She watched her die for something that she didn't commit. Zelena, I must find them."
"You're going to kill them," Zelena stared at him incredulously. "Aren't you?"
"They have become very great threats." Zelena only shook her head in response. She wanted to protect her sister and husband no matter the cost.
"I can't."
Obi-Wan stood to leave her with a heavy sigh. He turned around at the last minute to look at her. "Anakin is the father, isn't he?" Zelena looked down at his accusation giving him the only answer he needed. "I'm so sorry." Obi-Wan strode to his ship covering his face with his hood before leaving. ******
