Tatooine faded behind them. He was no longer a slave.
Anakin sighed with contentment. He wasn't a slave anymore, and
it was good. Of course, his mother was still a slave, which
wasn't particularly good and did raise some questions about the
intentions and supposed goodness of the Jedi who had "rescued"
him.
He'd had a lot of experience with slavers and slave-owners in
his brief life, and he knew what they were looking for in him.
Not to mention the warnings his mother had given him. She
didn't know who his father was, and Anakin knew why.
Serving as a prostitute didn't exactly allow one much
knowledge of who fathered any given child.
And Anakin had a very bad feeling about all this.
Anakin looked at Qui-Gon. Strong, large, masculine. And he
already had a boy by his side, one that looked a bit
long-in-the-tooth. Yes, Anakin had a very good idea why Qui-Gon
Jinn had wanted him. Time to replace the elder boy with a
newer, younger toy.
And Anakin was not about to let that happen.
He knew better. He wasn't going to be a slave again.
The meeting on Coruscant with the Jedi Council convinced
Anakin that he'd been right. The Jedi "master" -- and was that
title ever a laugh, what a clever cover-up for the
organization's real purpose -- wanted him to serve as
his "padawan", for which read "sex slave", and was dumping the
other kid.
Anakin felt a brief moment's pity for the cast-off, then let
it go. He didn't really care about anyone's fate but his own.
Slavery taught you about the dangers of caring.
And not caring made life a lot simpler.
He'd had a brief moment's fear when speaking to the small
yellow-greenish thing. Ending up as a sex slave to that
certainly didn't do anything for him. At least the Qui-Gon
fellow was presumably fully human.
The trip to Naboo convinced Anakin that he needed to take
action. That Obi-Wan creature was sucking up to his former
master, and Anakin liked the idea of a rival even less than he
liked the idea of being a slave again. He would have to do
something.
Unfortunately, his escape from Naboo was prevented by a ship
getting in his way. Stupid autopilot. At least he'd gotten to
blow the ship up. Killing other lifeforms was always pleasant.
When he'd returned to Naboo, he'd found that Qui-Gon was dead.
A hopeful thing. And then they'd given him into the custody of
the other boy, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Anakin controlled his features to show the emotions that they
expected him to show, but inwardly, he was gleeful. His
'master' dead, an easily manipulated boy in charge of him, and
he was on a lovely planet. The Senator was his ticket off and
his way to power, Anakin knew that immediately.
But before he went... that Amidala was some piece of ass.
