Author's Note: Hello people of the fanfiction world! I am back with my third story Stray Bullet. I hope you enjoy story. It will be updated every Thursday afternoon unless it ends on a cliffhanger then I will update two days later. This story should stay more in cannon than my last story did because this is a more angst story than humor, which as you know was Mutual Marriage (I suggest you read that, though I don't think that is my best work, it was still a nice story and good idea). Ok so I hope you like this new story I really like the idea of it, Miss Pippin OUT!

It happened during a council meeting. Some didn't feel it as much as others, those in tune with the force could feel it all around Coruscant, but none felt it the way Anakin Skywalker felt it. Force sensitives felt over 2,000 voices calling out in fear in the senate, but only Anakin heard the call of fear specifically of Padme Amidala, his wife.

Later the attack on the Galactic Senate proved to be a diversion, designed to capture Senator Bail Organa in the midst of chaos, but the attack still shook the people to the very core. Most at the time thought that the war had finally reached Coruscant, and the Sepratists were now taking over. These were the thoughts of Padme Amidala during this time.

The Jedi Temple is placed close by the Senate building because of the role the Jedi play to the republic and a quick speeder ride is all it takes to arrive there, only about five to ten minutes depending on traffic. It was at this moment that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were taking this trip to the Senate building, but those five minutes had never felt so long to Anakin before.

They had been receiving information from the council for a new mission to the outer rim when the warning came. Everyone in the council room stiffened in shock, although the first to react was Anakin sprinting out of the chambers towards the hanger with Obi-Wan close on his tail. It didn't take them long to find a speeder before Anakin jumped into it barely giving Obi-Wan a chance to jump in before speeding away. While they weren't paying attention to the traffic signals, it still took them a good three minutes to get there. No conversation went on in the speeder both leaning forward barley waiting for the speeder to park before jumping out.

Blaster fire was everywhere in random places causing certain senators to run in panic creating chaos. Although there were a few senators who had seen battle before, pulling out blasters from hidden places, they couldn't tell where the fire was coming from with so many other running around.

Both Obi-Wan and Anakin upon entering activated their lightsabers blocking blaster shots. Anakin caught a glance of Padme trying to guide people towards the doors while shooting in the general direction of the attackers, and he tried to move towards her but was run into by a frightened senator. After standing up he was just in time to see a stray bullet heading directly towards his wife that would hit her straight in the heart. He rushed toward her though he knew he was too far away calling out her name when he saw a flash of beige. Anakin arrived right on time to catch his former master who had placed himself directly in front of Padme efficiently protecting her while catching the bullet in his lower back. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he passed out in Anakin's arms.

Author's Note: Ok I know you hate me for this, but I want to end it here because it seems like a good place to end it…alright I know it's a cliff hanger, but I feel like if I continued it from here it would ruin the suspense. Trust me when I say that there definitely will be dialogue, but this is the prologue, most times prologues don't have dialogue. This is just an introduction to the story and I want you to get a feel for how the story will play out. Ok next chapter will be up sometime on Saturday. Miss Pippin OUT!
