"We will form a Rebellion and take back our democracy!"

*Padme's POV*

I have been blankly looking at the same page for over ten minutes. My brain refusing to work today and take in the information I am supposed to learn for the big meeting later this afternoon.

A loud beep from my comlink wakes me from my drift from reality. I sigh as I look at the wanted poster bobbing in the hologram.

Like the last time and the time before and all the other times before this, my gaze is diverted to Anakin's picture.

Tears pool in my eyes and I shut the hologram down.

I already know what it says, it is sent out to everyone on the planet every day telling people that they must report any Jedi they find to the Stormtroopers so they may be apprehended and executed for crimes against the galaxy.

It has been eight months since the destruction of the Jedi order and things have been utter chaos.

Many Senators and people gave an uproar with the new....... Empire. Many of them have gone missing and are presumed dead.

Palpatine has gone insane. He took control of every aspect of the government and rules us all with an iron fist.

We have absolutely no say in anything we just do as he says and if you don't...... I don't even want to think about what happens if you don't.

Senators Mothma, Organa, and I meet together at my place as often as we can. And we always have the same argument, I want to take action but they say we have to wait.

Mothma says that she has a plan and maybe she does but I sure as hell don't see it.

The door to my office slides open and Senator Organa walks in. Even after everything that has happened he still manages to keep a smile on. At least one of us can.

" Senator Organa to what do I owe this surprise." I say.

" I finished up my reading material and I just felt like stopping by and see how you are."

He sat down in the seat across from me.

I shook my head.

" I just can't focus on this material." I sighed, leaning back into my chair.

" You need to memorize it or else he will be very upset."

" I don't need a reminder of what Palpatine can do." I snapped.

" I know it's just-"

" I really don't need any more lectures Bail. I have spent the last eight months watching that monster take over. I know what he does to senators to disobey him. He removes them from their power and squanders their planet. And I will not let that happen to me or my planet. Not when so many people there are counting on me to keep Nabbo safe during this time!"

By the time I am finished yelling my throat is sore and scratchy.

I wipe away more tears that want to escape.
