ANAKIN WALKED INTO The Jedi Temple with his clone army. Apolla ran to the apartment and closed the door behind her which worried Padmé.

"I need you to contact Obi-Wan. Anakin's here with the Clone Army and they're gonna kill anyone who gets in their way." Apolla grabbed onto Padmé.

Padmé nodded and ran off to her office to contact Obi-Wan. Apolla placed a hand on her bump as she went to get her daughter. When Apolla got out of the apartment Hemera was hiding in the closet.

"Mommy!" Hemera cried, opening her arms. 

Apolla held her close "We're gonna go with Uncle Obi-Wan and Aunt Padmé, okay?"

Clone Troopers shot at Apolla. Apolla ignited her saber and dodged the blasts. Hemera hid behind the pillar, curled into a ball. Apolla picked up Hemera and made eye contact with Anakin. Anakin deactivated his saber and ran over to them.

Apolla hugged Anakin "Ani, what are you doing?"

Anakin sighed as he didn't know how to explain to her that he had to kill younglings to make it look real, including her Padawan. Reva Sevander. Apolla pulled away from Anakin.

"Apolla, wait.." Anakin grabbed her hands.

Hemera came out of hiding and hugged Anakin. Anakin hugged back, kissing her head.

"My princess, it'll be okay. Go with mommy. You'll be safe." Anakin instructed his daughter.

Hemera looked at Apolla then Anakin "Daddy, I'm scared."

Anakin sighed and held her small hands in his "Mommy will keep you safe. Daddy will come find you, okay?"

Hemera nodded and walked over to Apolla. Anakin stood up and kissed Apolla. Apolla kissed back.

"I love you." Anakin whispered.

"I know." Apolla sniffed, looking up at him.

Anakin squatted in front of Hemera "I love you, my little princess."

"I love you, too, daddy." Hemera hugged Anakin.

Anakin sniffed and slowly let go of his daughter before walking away to the Clones. Apolla held onto Hemera as she got into a ship and flew away from Coruscant.

Obi-Wan appeared on Apolla's hologram "Apolla, I'm sending you the coordinates to Master Yoda, Senator Organa, and my location. May the Force be with you."

"And with you." Apolla sighed as she followed the coordinates and felt her ship rise.

Apolla got out of her ship and picked up Hemera.

"Uncle Obi-Wan!" Hemera beamed.

Obi-Wan picked up Hemera and held her close. Apolla hugged Obi-Wan.

"You alright?" Obi-Wan asked.

Apolla nodded as they walked with Master Yoda and Senator Organa.
