[Thread] Mommy's boy.
Characters: Luke Skywalker (AU) and Padmé Amidala (AU).
Where: Starts at the park, and will possibly end up in Padmé's room.
When: Shortly after Luke's arrival.
Summary: Luke tries to use the Force to find Padmé, only to feel its repercussions. But perhaps that's all his mother needs to find him.
Warnings: Mother and son reunion thread that's full of cuteness and squee. ♥
Luke staggered, clutching his head. The voices... he was hearing them again. Voices of people he didn't know, but they were calling out to him, screaming, begging him to help them. They were dying. Dying. Fading away one by one, stars collapsing into black holes of emptiness and despair. "No..." He squeezed his eyes shut and fell to his knees, desperately trying to step away from the Force once more, just as he did all those years ago. "Make... make them stop!"
It was Alderaan. It had to be. Alderaan, the world he'd destroyed. He felt terrible now, ordering that planet's destruction just because he was angry. But a voice quickly rose in his defense: those in Alderaan were allied with the Jedi. The Jedi, who should've been gone a long time ago. Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi, who betrayed his father, who took his mother away from him, who brainwashed his sister Leia into joining the Jedi's misguided cause. And he could hear voices from this place, too. Econtra, was it? Loud. Pained. Too much anger, too much hate. The air was thick and it was difficult to breathe; or was it simply because he was drowning in their voices?
He was sitting by the pond now, forcing himself to 'shut down' and pull away from the Force. He didn't need the Force. He'd been fine all these years without it; why bother using it now? Rather, why bother listening to it?
After a few minutes, his head stopped hurting, and he was breathing normally again. He flicked his hand and sent a stone flying across the water, causing ripples as it passed. However, a second later he suddenly had his hand on his blaster, ready to fire at a moment's notice. Someone was coming.
