17-The Ayes Have It

Unknown POV
I watched the security hologram as Dooku stabbed (y/n) and Anakin killed him, just as Sidious predicted he would.

But what he didn't predict was what I saw next, Anakin and Obi-Wan healed her wound and she came back. "Force healing?" I whispered to myself. It's something I've studied but nothing I've ever seen, I was beginning to believe it was just a myth. But here it was right in front of me.

I sighed to myself, one of them was supposed to die.. Sidious is not going to be happy about this.

(y/n)'s POV
I reached the temple with both Anakin and Obi-Wan at my side. They both told me what Anakin did to Dooku but that I should tell them that it was me who killed him. They believe that should lean them more in my favor of NOT throwing me in a prison cell.

Obi-Wan already spoke to master Yoda and the council is waiting for me now in the council chambers. I could feel my heart racing as I stood in front of the double doors.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time." Anakin assured me as he squeezed my hand one last time before letting go as Obi-Wan opened the doors to reveal a circle room. There were seats all around and different Jedi seated in each one and they glared at me as I entered. I recognized one to be Shaak Ti, the Togruta woman I was supposed to kill.

"Welcome (y/n)." A little green man spoke who I recognized to be master Yoda.

"Hello master yoda." I spoke in almost a whisper, I was scared and they could all feel it.

"Why are we not throwing this woman in a prison, she is a war criminal and has killed hundreds of our troopers and a village on Alderaan! Not to mention she lived here under our noses as a spy for Dooku for weeks! She cannot be trusted!" A man next to yoda shouted. I could feel Anakin grow tense at his words.

Yoda lifted his hand in an effort to silence the man who looked liked he had more to say, "Silence, master Windu." He placed his hand back on his cane, "Have something to say for yourself, do you?" He questioned me.

I took a deep breathe before answering him, "I was clouded by the dark side master yoda." I could feel tears swell inside my eyes, "It was what I grew up knowing and most times I felt like I had no control over the things I was doing. I know that doesn't justify my actions but I finally took control of my life and that person is not who I want to be."

"Then who is it you want to be?" Shaak Ti spoke to me in the same soft tone she did in her room a few days ago.

"It took the words of someone wise to let me know that my path is not determined for me that it is I who determines what my path is. And I want to be a Jedi." I finished nervously and  the little green man looked like he was contemplating on what I said. Murmurs filled the room as the Jedi spoke to each other. Except for one who didn't say a word, Master Windu. He only glared at me with an expression of what I can only assume as hate.

"Give you this opportunity, why should we?" The green man asked me with curiosity in his voice.

Before I had the chance to speak Anakin stepped in front of me, "Council if I may?" They all nodded at him to continue. "It was (y/n) here who made the choice on her own to turn from the dark side, she spared my life on multiple occasions as well as master Kenobi's and even killed her own master in an effort to protect us. If it wasn't for her neither of us would be standing here today. Surely you can all sense the good in her."
