the supposed release of senator amidala had been meticulously planned. nothing to do with the new republic, nor with the jedi order, despite how the video had been presented in the news. a pair of coordinates had been sent to ben solo, after his agreement to return to the first order. at the location, there’d been no trace of padmé. instead, there had been a small holopad with nothing but another set of coordinates on it, another sector away. another day of travel. it was a careful design to ensure that by the time anyone was able to find her, she was completely alone without a trace of the soldiers who had been ordered to bring her there. it was an abandoned house, dark and quiet, still.
padme’s wrists were still bound behind her back, in a less than dignified slump against the wall. one of her eyes was badly swollen, shades of purple and yellow from bruises in various states of healing scattered across her cheekbones, under-eyes, and neck. she laid very quiet, and dangerously still.
