Tears of Sorrow (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Part 3

   Nightfall came and I passed out due to the exhaustion that I had been experiencing and the one thing about being a Jedi and that you were always expected to be ready at any point. I felt someone shaking me. It was Anakin. "Are you alright?" He was concerned, noticing that I had passed out. "Oh yes I am. I've been so exhausted." I looked down

"I am sorry to hear that. If you want, I could ask Padme for a room that you could sleep in and Obi Wan and I can continue the mission." He tried to make me feel better. I felt bad because I wanted to do the mission and help Padme out, but I just felt like I was being pushed too much. I shook my head " It's alright." He was not satisfied with my answer. "No it isn't, (y/n). You need to rest because you passed out on the couch and not to mention, your eyes are telling me something different." He said firmly.

      I knew he was trying to help. So I gave in and nodded slowly. Padme finally came into the room and helped me to a room. I thanked her. I looked around the room. It was different than my quarters. It was bigger and there was a big window. I gazed at the landscape. Then I heard Anakin talking. He was talking about his mother and how he dreams about her, which made him restless.

When I heard Obi Wan reply with "Dreams pass in time." It didn't sit right with me. If it's a dream, then why couldn't he sleep well and why did his thoughts dwell with his mother. I have an unpleasant feeling about it. 

     While I fell asleep, I sensed something was wrong with Padme. I ran out of bed and sprinted pass Anakin and Obi Wan to her room. Anakin sliced the Kouhuns that were on Padme, and I jumped through the window and grabbed on to the droid.

The droid led me to the bounty hunter, who was on the roof, and before the bounty hunter got onto the ship, I kicked her. My emotion started clouding my judgement. I was angry. I looked at the bounty hunter with deep hatred. After that we got into hand-to-hand combat on the roof. I punched her and she punched me. My lip was bleeding and my whole body was trembling in pain. The bounty hunter was on the floor, also in pain. As I tried to get near her, there was a conflict inside me. 

" (Y/n), just kill her, so she wouldn't cause Padme harm." Said one voice. 

"(Y/n), just interrogate her instead of killing her, padme wants to know who is trying to kill her." Said another.

I look at her and grab her and pull her up to my face. "You better start talking or I won't hesitate in killing you." I looked at her dead in the eyesThe fear took over her face. she struggled to get out of my grip but I wouldn't let go. "if you keep behaving this way, trust me I will make it even worse for you. Now tell me why were you trying to assassinate Senator Amidala." 

   Then I heard someone scream my name and I looked back. before I could look to see who it was. The bounty hunter kicks me off the roof. The pain that came with that kick knocked me out.

 

I woke up in the medical bay, alone. I was still in pain. I could barely move. Anakin walked in. He looked so low-spirited and looked like he hadn't slept well. "How are you feeling? You took quite a hit." He put an ice pack on my head to help the swelling calm down. Even with the ice pack on my head it still ached "I wished I could say I was alright, but I am not." He could feel the disappointment that I had in myself. "(Y/n), I sense something is bothering you."

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wished I hadn't turned back to see who was screaming. Anakin, she is still out there and she is going to hurt Padme. I should have kept looking at her and interrogated her. Now, because of my mistake, it's risking Padme's life. I tried to hold my tears back, but the tears were forcing to come out. "(Y/n), there was a reason I had to scream your name." My eyes widened. "It was you? you screamed my name while I was trying to interrogate the bounty hunter." I had mixed emotions. "Anakin why did you scream my name?"

He sat in the chair right next to my bed and looked down. "It looked like you were going to cross a line, which I will never allow you to do." He stated " crossing a line? Anakin, I was dealing with someone who attempted to assassinate your friend." I fired back 

"what would happened if you killed her? she wasn't going to say anything anytime soon. She wanted you to do this. when she saw your anger, she saw your weakness." He glared. I had enough of this. "Anakin, you would have done the same thing." I spat 

"I would never. if I killed her then I would lose everything I love and I wouldn't risk that, But you, you looked like the things you love didn't matter to you at that moment. you would've been banished from the Jedi Order" his choked. I faced away from him. 

   I felt Anakin's heart sank even more and he left the room without saying anything. I groaned. I didn't want this to happen. My eyes teared up again. The pain of Anakin's heartbreak put more pain on me. I think to myself again and the voices return.

 " He distracted you from your mission, he deserved it. if it weren't for him then you could have gotten the "information" from her." one the of the voice said. 

   " that tone was just unacceptable. he stopped you from doing a very horrible act. Be thankful that he help you out. " said the other. 

  The other voice was right I should be thankful because he would never give up on me. I decided that I would apologize to Anakin as soon as I am able to walk again. I fell asleep.
