16-I Love You

Anakin's POV
I had no words for the betrayal I was feeling. I looked into the eyes of the girl I confessed my love to and it was like I didn't even recognize her. She held a cold expression and didn't move from the spot she was in.

Was everything a lie? Was this all some sick plot? The memory of our kiss filled my mind and I had to blink to stop the tears from flowing. It was her.. this entire time it was her. I shook my head, no I had to believe what we were feeling was real.

"What's wrong Skywalker?" Dooku chuckled from the side and it took everything in me not to kill him on the spot. "Izdaja I'm growing tired of this, end them."

"Yes master." She stood up and charged at me, Obi-Wan ran towards us as well.

"No!" I told him, "Stay back!" I pleaded, I don't care what she's done I know this isn't her, I didn't want to risk Obi-Wan hurting her. He listened to me and stood by, his attention would shift between me and Dooku. To make sure I was okay and to make sure Dooku didn't try to intervene.

We fought and my blades were clashing with hers and I started to become tired but it didn't seem like she did. She gained the upper hand for a moment and her face was inches from mine while our saber were above our heads, "I don't wanna hurt you (y/n)." I cried.

"This should be easy then." She mumbled with no emotion in her tone. We were staring into each other's eyes and I was trying so hard to see the girl I loved but I couldn't.

"(y/n) this isn't you snap out of it!" I shouted as I used the force to push her against the wall and she groaned from the impact.

I know there is good in her, this is what she was trying to tell me the night before she got taken away from me. Why she kept telling me that she didn't deserve me and why she kept pushing me away, I changed her and she was afraid of what I would think of her. Dooku had to have done something to her for her to turn back this way. "What did you do to her!" I shouted to him and he smiled in response.

"Took away those disgusting happy memories, they made her weak and I needed her strong." He grimaced and I looked over to (y/n) and she was getting back up from the floor. Fire in her eyes as she looked up to me, she doesn't even remember me aside from fighting me or a false image she has of me planted inside her head.

I needed to get to her to get her to remember but how was I going to do that if she's trying to kill me.

She sprinted In my direction and I held my weapons up in defense. She kept attacking but I was only defending. "I need you to remember!" I pleaded but she gave me no response she just repeatedly attacked me with her weapons. Then I had an idea.. an idea that would either bring my love back or would get me killed but it was a risk I was willing to take. "Stop!" I shouted and she did. She gave me a confused look as I dropped both sabers to my side.

"Anakin what are you doing!" My master shouted and I put my hand up to him so he would know not to come near us. I dropped to my knees in front of her and her confusion grew. She stepped closer to me and put her sabers to my neck in an x formation. But I wasn't afraid I kept my eyes on her and she stood in the same position motionless. If my girl is still in there then this will work I know it will.

"I'm not going to fight you so you'll just have to kill me." I stated and her eyes shifted to Dooku and back to mine.

(y/n)'s POV
Strike him down (y/n)!" Dooku screamed at me as I held both my red lightsabers to Anakin's neck in an 'x' formation. Obi-Wan was off to the side and he held panic in his eyes for his former padawan but anytime he tried to move closer Dooku would threaten him.
