Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Chapter 11

(a/n): Slight TW, there will be vomiting in this chapter. That's all, enjoy otherwise <3

(y/n) POV:

As soon as we got back, I told the Council my made up version of what happened and they surprisingly believed it. It must've been believable because of my injuries, but Anakin and Obi-Wan were the only ones that thought it was weird that Elliot and I were supposedly able to escape Count Dooku's ship so easily. But it was the best story I came up with, and nobody asked any follow-up questions. I also told them that Dooku just left the planet after that, which he actually might have since he and Elliot pretty much got what they needed from me.

Now it's been a week since we returned to Coruscant. During that whole time, I've barely talked to Anakin. At first he gave me some space because he thought that I still needed some time to recover, but any time he tried to get alone time with me I made up an excuse to be somewhere else.

At this point I knew he was confused with me practically ghosting him, but I planned to keep it that way.

I sulked to my quarters after eating lunch, and was ready to take a nap. I woke up early this morning to meditate on that vision of Anakin and I when we were kids, but I still didn't learn anything. I tried focusing on when he said that we were best friends, or that he would always be there to help me, but the force didn't give me any indication of if my thoughts were going in the right direction. I was worried it had something to do with the fact that our attachment was forbidden, but I'm still at square one and don't have a clue.

I sighed and entered my room, taking out my braid to let my (h/c) waves loosely fall down my back. I went to my washroom to take some more medicine, before curiously eyeing one of the herb bottles on my sink from the nurses office back on Corellia. The nurse suggested that I take it to ease the pain of the headaches, and I did but I haven't tried it yet.

I grabbed the bottle and smelled the inside of it. I wrinkled my nose at the strong scent.

I don't think I've ever seen this before.

I shrugged and gulped some of it down, the taste sending a spasm of disgust through my body.

"Wow, that's lovely." I said sarcastically and coughed. I grabbed some water to try and wash the odd taste out.

I threw myself in bed and took off my comlink, putting it on my nightstand next to my lightsaber, and got under the covers. Just as I was about to drift into a peaceful sleep, my comlink went off and my tiredness was replaced with irritation.

I groaned around reached my arm around to grab it, "What?" I asked annoyed, not caring if it was someone I should be respectful to. Whoever it was interrupted a great siesta I was having.

"It's time for your first assignment." Elliots stupid voice said.

I coughed and rubbed my eyes, "Seriously? It's barely been a week."

"Exactly. We need to start as soon as possible. This first task should be simple, I need you to bring me a few bowcasters. I've heard that they are created on the planet Kashyyyk, so find a way to obtain them and bring them to me back on Corellia."

Unbelievable. He calls that simple? "How is that simple? You realize the Wookiees aren't exactly welcoming to random strangers, right?"

He sighed in annoyance, "Oh please, you'll make it work. Just get it done as soon as possible. Dooku isn't very patient, and I wanna stay on his good side."

I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see, "Fine, whatever. It'll be done."

I turned off my comlink before he could say anything else and stared up at my plain beige ceiling. Should I still do this? How was I even going to explain why I needed to go to Kashyyyk?
