"Everyone sees us as traitors."

*Padme's POV*

I sobbed as I watched the Jedi temple burning in the distance. My stomach was twisted in agony as each huff of smoke floated up into the air.

Anakin was at the temple because I had a meeting with Senator Organa. I had a meeting and now Anakin might be dead.

A loud sob shattered my heart at the thought of Anakin laying lifeless on the ground. Red hot flames eating at his skin turning him to ash.

" Please don't take him from me!" I called out to the sky to any higher force who might listen to me.

I sunk to the floor not caring that my dress would become caked with dust. I buried my face between my hands and sobbed.

" I am sure that master Ani will be alright mistress Padme." 3PO said.

Sniffing I looked up at him. His shiny gold coat stood out against the darkness of my apartment.

" Thank you 3PO, I hope you are right." I sniffled.

I looked back at the temple. 3PO's words spinning around in my head. 

He could be alright.

He will be alright.

Please Ani, please please please be alright.

*Anakin's POV*

I aimlessly flew around. I have managed to get us out of orbit and I put the ship into hyperspace.

Blue lights zoomed past us as we zipped through the galaxy.

Ahsoka sat silently beside me. She stared off into the distance, tears trickling down her face and to her chin.

A part of me wants to comfort her, to hold her until her tears are over but I have other worries right now.

Will I ever see Padme again?

Will I ever see her smile, hear her laugh, feel her lips on mine ever again?

Will I ever see my angel again?

I leaned back in my chair, reliving all the horrors we just faced not even an hour ago.

Why?

That was all I could ask myself. But I don't have the answers.

" Why would they shoot at us? Why would they all try to kill us?" Ahsoka asked her voice breaking from her tears.

We both turned our chairs around to face the council, or at least what is left of them.

Master Yoda looked down at the ground in sadness. He shook his head and rubbed his face with his small green hand.

" Hay we all nearly died back there. Our order is basically dead and we have no idea why but you clearly do. So get off your fucking green arse and tell us what you know!" I screamed at him. Tears began to fall down my face as I yelled.
