57-Betrayed

(a/n This is going to be a long one and I consider it to be the most important chapter in this book. It's gonna be roller coaster of emotions and I apologize in advance.♥️)

•A good song for this chapter in my opinion is Tessa by Steve Jablonsky. It really goes well with the characters emotional spiral.

(y/n)'s POV
Was I really seeing them? Or have I just gone insane and I've begun to hallucinate.

My eyes stayed on the pair as they looked to me with wide eyes. Neither of us knowing what to say.

"I-I don't understand." I finally spoke breaking the tension that filled the chambers. Was it all a lie? Was this planned? Who else knew?

I've dreamt of seeing them again. I would run into Anakins arms and never let go. I thought that if I ever saw him again I'd be overcome with love and happiness.

But that's not how I felt in this moment.

I felt sick.

I felt lied to.

"Kenobi and Skywalker went undercover behind enemy lines to figure out the name of the traitor within the Senate, the council apologizes for leaving you in the dark but they both thought it was wise for you not to know, to make their death more believable." Master Plo spoke in response to my confusion. My eyes never leaving Anakins. So it was their decision not to tell me? It was their selfish idiotic plan to leave me in that pod where I almost died, where I actually prayed for death.

My eyes left Anakins and I scanned the eyes of the council, "You all knew?" I almost cried, feeling hurt as my eyes landed to Yoda, "And you lied to my face? Put on a fake funeral? And for what? For me?" I started to laugh, "You all really put on a good show."

"(y/n)-" I heard Anakin start to speak but I put my hand up to silence him.

"Sorry we are, but necessary it was." Master Yoda responded, he looked slightly guilty but I didn't care how any of them felt.

I was in hell. For weeks I was heartbroken and devastated thinking I lost my husband and mentor. But turns out they were alive all this time and they knew.

"Necessary?" I spat in disbelief , "I almost died, how was that necessary?" My voice cracked.

"That was unfortunate-" Master Windu began and I shot a glare at him and he immediately stopped talking.

I was overcome by so many emotions, I needed to leave before I lost control like the day I did when I woke up in the hospital, "Do whatever you want with this," I gestured to Grievous on the floor, "I'm out of here." I turned away from the faces of all those liars only to see two more behind me. I walked up to them both and I lifted my hand to slap Anakin across the face. The look of shock spread across his features and in another second I slapped Obi-Wan who had the same expression as Anakin. I shoved past them and left the council room.

Tears spilled out of my eyes.

I felt Betrayed.

They all lied to me and with a stupid excuse saying it was 'necessary'. I almost lost my life twice but they had the audacity to say it was necessary. I wanted to scream from frustration. How could that pain I was feeling be necessary. Or my almost death being unfortunate. Did they not care about anyone but themselves? They were no better than Dooku.

I went to a room I hadn't been to in a long time.

To Anakin's.

I grabbed a case and started to put all my robes inside. I was going to permanently stay at Padmé's until I decided what I wanted to do.
