Anakin's POV
Slowly, I opened my tired eyes that were currently burning after getting merely an hour, maybe less, of sleep. The sound that woke me up was an alarm blaring, and it caused my ears to ring painfully.

The machine that sat in the corner of the room opened, revealing Lilith in a meditative position. Her eyes shot up, and the amber glow blazed over with anticipation. She lifted her gaze, and locked it with my own, "It appears we have company." She spoke with a slight devious smirk.

She stood up from her position with her mask in her hand, and she placed it securely over her face, "What do you mean; who's here?" I asked.

She didn't answer my question, and moved around the room, changing into her leather armor; giving me a view I hadn't seen in a long time. Although now would definitely not be the time to look at her this way, but I couldn't help it, she's still the love of my life.

Her eyes lifted up to mine as she zipped her boots on, "Enjoy the show?" She teased; standing up straight, and strutted towards me while I remained quiet, "Well I'm about to give you another one." She raised her now gloved hand and placed it on my cheek gently, and stroked my cheek bone with her thumb, "The plan isn't over just yet baby."

Just as I was about to ask what she meant, the door to the room opened, and she immediately dropped her hand down; placing it on the hilt of her lightsaber, "Let him go, Lilith." The familiar voice growled.

She turned around to face him, a low chuckle could be heard escaping through her black mask, "I was wondering when you were going to show up Obi-Wan. I did make following me, and getting in here; awfully easy for you."

Now I see what she meant; she knew he'd follow, she knew he'd try to come for me. I suddenly felt a heavy pain in my chest; terrified that the two people I love most are about to fight in front of me, and one might die by the others hand.

She stepped to the side and Obi-Wan finally came into my view, his eyes landed on me and they became enraged when he took in my condition, "I had hoped that the little girl we found all those years ago—the first one I grew to love as my own, was still in there somewhere," He turned his attention back to her, his eyes watering, "But (y/n) would never do something as cruel as this," He gestured to my tortured state.

"(y/n) is dead." She responded bluntly, pulling her lightsaber from her belt, and Obi-Wan watched her moves with caution, "You all killed her when you abandoned her."

He went for his lightsaber as well, and held it out in preparation, "How would your parents feel if they saw you this way?"

She froze; furrowing her brows in confusion, "What did you just say?"

Confidence flashed through his eyes, and I didn't need to read his mind to know what he was trying to do, "Qui-Gon Jinn and Katherine Winters, your parents; murdered by Sidious."

She immediately shook her head in denial, "You're lying, Sidious is my father."

"Look in my eyes little one, and know that I'm telling the truth, and that he's been lying to you," He stepped closer to her with his lightsaber tightly in his palm, but he held back on igniting it; hoping that he could somehow get through to her. Even I was starting to have hope, "He killed your mother when you were a baby, and took you away from her. That's when Master Yoda and I found you two years later; terrified and covered in injuries given to you by him no doubt." He took another step closer, and she remained in the same spot, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty, "Then Sidious sent Darth Maul to find you, and your father died trying to protect the secret of your whereabouts."
