Chapter 6: Vader

Darth Vader's POV

"Lord Vader, a J-type star skiff is trying to enter the death star"
"Naboo star skiff?" I ask
"Yes, my lord"
"Let it in. Bring the pilot or passenger to me"
"Yes, Darth Vader" as he leaves.

Naboo star skiff. The ship that brought Padmé to me. I couldn't control myself back there.
I killed her
I killed the baby.
I'm a monster.
I wanted to go back, but I can't.
It's too late. Everything's too late for me now. Even though I keep wondering how stupid I am, learning the dark side to save her, it turns out to end her.

"One passenger". Two stormtroopers holding a woman. I can't see her face because it's covered by the shadow of the cloak she is wearing.
Somehow, I feel like she's Padmé.
But no, it can't be. I killed her.
I give a signal for the stormtroopers to go. They follow my instruction.
I take her to a spot, a little bit away from the crowd.
"Open your cloak" I tell her.
Without any words, she opens her cloak slowly.

Wait, Padmé?
No no no!
Face it, it's truly her.
"But I killed you"
"And you're proud of it?" She says, not wanting any answer.
"You shouldn't be here" I say.
"Hey! I came here for you!"
"I didn't ask you to"
"I came here" she says with an assertive tone. "For my husband"
"Anakin's dead I tell you"
"No he's not. He's still in here" she touches my armor suit. "Somewhere..." Her tone changes weaker on that word.
Then, I see a stormtrooper passes.
"Take this woman to the cell block!"
The stormtrooper walks toward us and start taking Padmé's arm.
"W-what?!" She tries to let herself go. The stormtrooper takes her away then.

"I'm sorry..."
