Time Retreating
Part 1
"All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams."
-Elias Canetti
My eyes were closed as I let the cool air breeze past my face. I could hear the dull roar of the waterfall that cascaded nearby... and it had an effect on me similar to my mother's ancient lullabies. I felt calm and at peace... at home. I felt as though nothing could harm me. Even though I was in the middle of a great meadow - and could easily be seen from a mile away - I felt as though nothing could even know I was there... and when I opened my eyes to see blue ones staring back at me from behind a very handsome young face... I knew why.

The man to whom the blue eyes belonged - Anakin - was my protector. He would never let anything find me or hurt me. I was safer with him than with anyone else in the universe.
Wasn�t I?
Anakin stared at me seriously for a moment before a wry smile began at the corners of his mouth. I could not suppress a smile in return.
"You're making fun of me..." The words came from my mouth of their own volition - but did not confuse me in the least. I knew with some certainty that he was making fun of me, though I didn�t know why or what about. It was very odd. The smile that had begun at the corners of his mouth now opened wide across his face. His teeth seemed almost too white for his tanned skin... but it fit him. I was convinced that nothing could look bad on this man - and for some reason, I did not like thinking it.
"No, no..." He responded sarcastically with a laugh. "I'd be much too frightened to tease a senator." I laughed... though something suddenly did not seem right.
Senator?
Somewhere in the depths of my mind I knew that this was not my life... that Anakin was not really speaking to me... and that I was far from being a senator... but on the surface everything seemed perfectly normal. At that moment - I was a senator. It was my life.
"You should be." I said with a smile. "You frightened me for a moment." His eyes became suddenly thoughtful as the smile disappeared slowly from his face. The effect was ominous and left me feeling a small chill at the base of my spine.
"You have nothing to fear from me, milady... as long as there is a republic I will be on her side." He paused, then looked down for a moment. "And yours." He added as he looked back up to meet my eyes. His abrasively penetrative stare discomforted me... it felt like he could see in to my soul and my mind - and for some reason, the notion didn't seem at all impossible. I furrowed my forehead and tilted my head to the side as I wondered something...
Can you hear my thoughts...?
A dark shadow passed over Anakin�s face face and an odd smile followed it. My heart began to thump madly in my chest... he could hear them. I swallowed and shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and my eyes traveled to the waterfall that had been a source of contentment for me only moments before... but was now just something other than Anakin that I could focus on.
"Padme..." He said softly as he touched my hand.
Padme?
My eyes shot back to his. I couldn't help it. The shadow was now gone from his face - but a slight smile was still there. "I am sorry if I made you uneasy." I moved my hand just enough so that he wasn't touching it anymore. A flicker of something - anger? frustration? - that I didn't understand shot across his features... then he shifted his position so that he was closer to me. I watched him cautiously. He watched me with a gaze that was not appropriate. It was a gaze full of want and need - two things that he shouldn�t have been feeling while looking at me. I knew this... but I didn�t know why.
"Anakin... please. I asked you not to look at me that way. Do not make me ask you again." Again - the words came out on their own. It was as though I was trapped inside a body that I could not control - but I was not completely unaware of the condescending tone I had taken with him, and judging by the look on his face, neither was he.
"I like looking at you this way." He said softly - but it was to spite me for talking down to him. I had the immediate feeling of being fed up. I shook my head and stood up... and then, at a speed I didn�t know existed - he stood up as well. I felt small and meek compared to the man who towered over me. His closeness only made him seem taller. I could feel his warm breath on my face. I could smell his scent. If he moved in any further we�d be...
Anakin encircled me in his arms around my waist and I did nothing to stop him. I was powerless to do anything but stare up in to the eyes that I was beginning to wish I could drown in. A pang of guilt shot through my stomach. I should not have been feeling such things. It was ... wrong.
In a way... it all seemed so familiar as though it had happened before. In another way - it seemed completely foreign to me. Like I was out of place. Somewhere I didn�t belong at all.
Anakin smiled down at me, then began to lean in... closer, and closer, and closer... until his lips came to brush against mine. My heart pounded in my ears as I tried to gather some will to push him away from me, to tell him to stop, to wrench myself out of his hold - anything other than stand there as helpless as a child... but something inside me could do none of those things. I was hypnotized by the feel of his arms around me and the touch of his lips on mine. I leaned up a little - almost inviting him to do what we both knew he wanted... but instead he moved his face so that his cheek was caressing mine. I closed my eyes as he put his mouth to my ear and whispered...
�... Do you think you can catch me, milady?� I tilted my head and looked up at him not understanding his meaning. He smiled down at me - a playful smile not at all like the one he had previously - and released me from his arms... a moment later, he was running away. I watched him for a moment with confusion written plainly over my face... and then I realized. It was a child�s game. He would give chase, and once I caught him - it was my turn. I could not help but laugh at the odd turn of events. I started after him - I could see him watching me. Laughing at me... and everything was pleasant again. We were children again - he and I. Running and laughing. Playing. It felt as though I had never played a game in my life... and perhaps this was true...
He was so quick. It seemed that whenever I was just within reach of him, he was gone. I was beginning to think that he was toying with me. I would not catch him unless he let me catch him. It seemed to me that no one could be that fast.

But he was that fast. So fast, in fact, that I lost him behind a small hill.
�Anakin!� I called out with a laugh as I ran over it to see where he was. As soon as I was over it, I looked around with a wide smile on my face. I was having so much fun - every unpleasant thought was as far from my mind as it could get... and when I spotted Anakin riding on the back of a galloping Shaak - I burst in to laughter.
�Whoa, whoa...� he said as he attempted to steady himself as he stood up on the animal�s back. I watched attentively... and for a few moments he succeeded in standing balanced - before the Shaak bucked and Anakin went tumbling off. I remained smiling at the amusing sight...
But when the Shaak trampled Anakin as he lay on the ground - it wasn�t amusing anymore. I watched as he tried to raise himself up - but couldn�t. Fear clutched at my heart as I flew over to him as fast as my dress would allow. I was horrified.
�Ani!� I called out. I didn�t know what I would do if he was hurt. I prayed that I wouldn�t have to find out. �Ani, are you all right?� I asked breathlessly when I reached his unmoving form lying face down in the grass. My heart thudded and I could already start to feel the burn of tears start in my eyes. I quickly turned him over to face me...
He was not only all right, but laughing at me for falling for his childish trick. A wave of relief ran through my body and it was impossible to be angry. I laughed as I hit him playfully. He caught my arms and I fell over him - struggling to get in another hit. We tumbled a few times down the hill - laughing - until finally we stopped and I came to rest on top of him...
I held myself above him with my arms out stretched and my hands on either side of his shoulders. His hands were rested on my hips - they had been there while we�d be tumbling but I didn�t notice until that moment. As the last remnants of laughter faded away it seemed we both became all too aware of the intimacy of the situation. I swallowed and tried to push up off the ground - but Anakin held me firmly by the hips.
�Wait,� he commanded softly. �Stay.� My breath immediately became hurried as the lust in Anakin�s eyes became more and more apparent. I tried to pull away again, but again he held me firmly in place.
�Anakin...� He said nothing as he began to rub my hips gently. I closed my eyes as the sensation sent warm electricity tingling up and down my back. When I opened my eyes again, I found a smiling Anakin staring up at me. He was pleased at my reaction to him no doubt... and probably more pleased in the way that I was leaning down in to him. I hadn�t even noticed that our faces were only inches apart. My breath caught for a moment.
�Anakin,� I started again - trying to gather some resolve. �Let�s play another game.� It came out almost as a plea. Anakin ran a slender finger over my cheek and it took a lot to keep from closing my eyes again. The things I was feeling were wrong and I had to get myself out of the situation as quickly as possible, and with as few hurt feelings as I could.
�I�m not in the mood for games.� Was Anakin�s response - and that was as far as my will would take me. He was not in the mood for games...
And neither was I.
Just one kiss... I thought desperately to myself as I pressed my lips to his - but in an instant as he maneuvered himself on top of me - deepening the kiss, any hope of escaping the situation was gone. His hands held my arms pinned above my head as his hungry mouth unforgivingly plundered my lips. I unwillingly moaned under the strain and it only served to fuel his passion. He released my arms and clutched my thigh under my skirt. His other hand held me tightly above my hip. My newly free hands threaded through his hair and pushed his mouth to mine...
This was wrong. I knew it was wrong... it had to stop. Too much was entangled in us. We were needed elsewhere. Romance could not be apart of either of our lives... we would both have to give up too much. I would not let him give up anything for me. As the hand that had been holding on to my thigh began to move higher, it was then that I mustered up the strength to push him off of me. I quickly got to my feet and stared down at him. His chest raising and falling as quickly as mine. His mouth looking as assaulted as mine felt. He looked angry as he reached for me, but I moved away from him.
�This can not happen. I will not let it.� I said with an unsteady voice. He clenched his jaw - and the expression on his face was not soft as it usually was with me. The dark shadow was there once again and I found myself quite afraid.
�Padme--� He reached for me again and caught hold of my skirt.
�No!� I said as I wrenched myself out of his grip, and turned to run away. My heart thudded loudly in my chest as the fear of his catching me was becoming almost too much. I couldn�t let him catch me. Who knew what he would do. What I would do. And I knew he would catch me... he had been so fast earlier. Too fast. Jedi fast.
Jedi?
Suddenly nothing seemed the way it should be. Everything was wrong. All wrong. The feeling made me stumble and fall...
But the pain of bruised knees and scraped hands never came...
*~*~*~*~*~*
I woke up with a jolt - expecting to hit the hard ground... but found myself lying in my bed. I sat up and threw the blanket off me as I tried to catch my breath and slow my heart beat. For a few dizzying moments of confusion - nothing made sense. I didn�t know where I was or even who I was. I waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness as time and place came flooding back in to my mind...
I was Pernea Folari of Naboo and I was visiting the old Lake Retreat on a school field trip. I was not a senator who needed protection from something called a jedi.
As my breathing slowed I was able to start to make sense of things.
It had all been a dream.
The man who I had called Anakin in my dream was the man that I had seen earlier that day on the balcony over looking the lake. The one who had been ready to scold me for eaves dropping before Eali had found me. That accounted for why he seemed so angry with me in my dream. And the woman he was with... he had called her senator. I must have been playing her part...
I wiped some beads of sweat from my forehead as I stood up out of the bed that was to be mine for the next two weeks. I walked over to the doors that lead to the balcony and stood there with my head against the cold windows.
What a strange dream. Everything had seemed so vibrant - so real. I supposed that being there was quite a lot for my mind to take in and I was falling victim to all the stories I had heard about the place. In my dream Anakin had obviously been one of those beings who had unnatural powers. A jedi. I didn�t know how I knew that was what they were called - but I knew it. I guessed I must have heard it somewhere before.
I took a deep breath and decided it was best to forget the dream and go back to sleep. I turned around and could not help but scream...
There, staring me in the face, was the man from my dream. Only this was no dream.
I backed up, but realized quickly that the doors were right behind me and there was no place for me to back up to. The man reached for my hands and took them in his.
�Padme, please listen to me.� He pleaded. I tried to break free, but he was much too strong.
�I�m not Padme!� I yelled, still struggling.
�Please... I�m sorry for today. I--�
Suddenly light flooded the room as a man I did not recognize - possibly the grounds keeper - shuffled nervously in to my room.
And Anakin was gone.
�What is it, Ms.?� The man asked. I could not answer - even as he started searching my room for some unknown attacker. I watched him in disbelief at what had just happened - my eyes wide - as he searched for something that did not seem to exist.
