The next day, I read all day in the big library of the palace. I see Padme coming in front of me. I smile tenderly at her, wondering what she wanted from me.

"What are you reading?

- Poetry."

Padme nods before sitting down in the chair across from me, I gently close the book while holding the page before addressing my sister.

"Isn't your bodyguard with you? I say sarcastically.

- No, he's with Ryoo." She answers.

I squint my eyes before frowning, I move a little more towards her before opening my mouth, getting ready to speak.

"Look me in the eye and dare to tell me that you don't love him.

- I don't love Anakin."

I stifle a laugh before sitting back in my seat, raising my eyebrows, exasperated that she was lying to my face.

"You're lying.

- No."

I laugh, letting her know that I didn't believe her. She sighs before speaking up.

"Get into my mind then.

- No, no way."

She tilts her head to the side letting me know that I was getting exhausting.

"I wouldn't."

She sighs loudly before my mother suddenly comes in. I turn to her.

"Have you seen Ryoo? I thought I saw her playing in the kitchen and my cup disappeared.

- She's with the apprentice." Padme said.

My mother sighs loudly bringing her hands to her waist. I then spoke up.

"I'll go get her if you want." I say.

My mother thanks me, I then stand up putting the book on the seat. I leave the bookstore and start looking for Ryoo. I look in her room, she is not there, nor in the dining room. I arrive in front of the kitchen, I open the door before finding her with Anakin.

My sister was sitting on the counter and Anakin was leaning on it. I smile softly before looking at them.

"Can you fly it?" My sister asks.

Ryoo hands her an origami swan. Anakin smiles at my sister before delicately taking the swan. The young man places the paper bird on the palm of his hand before hovering it.

I looked at them for a few moments, my eyes were riveted on the swan. He has such a pure soul. I reluctantly interrupt their moment.

"Ryoo, mommy is looking for you." I say.

Immediately my sister turns to me. I look at her, and she immediately understands why mom was looking for her. She sighs softly before stepping off the counter.

"She's going to give me a hard time.

- Please don't involve me in your nonsense, sweetheart.

- Yes..." She shuffles past me.

I run my hand through her hair before I see her off, I lay my eyes on Anakin who had his arms crossed against his chest. He starts to laugh.

"What are you laughing so hard about?

- "Don't get me involved in your nonsense." what did you do?

- What did she make me do you mean." I said with a laugh.

I join him at the edge of the counter before speaking up.

"She made me make our mom's favorite cup disappear because she broke it."

Anakin starts laughing before pushing himself off the counter, he turns to me before standing in front of me.

"I like to see that you get along with your sisters, it's cute.

- I act normal with my sisters." I say confused.

Anakin immediately places his hand on the counter near my waist, I slowly back away.

"The way you called her 'sweetheart' was really sweet."

Anakin gently brings his face close to mine, he gently slides his other hand to the other side of the counter, holding me captive in his grip. I look up at him.

I run my hands behind me, leaning on the counter, I suddenly feel his fingers brush against mine. Anakin brings his face close to mine, keeping eye contact.

I felt uncomfortable, out of my comfort zone, my heart was beating rapidly. I don't know what Anakin was playing at, but I didn't like it. Several emotions were running through his mind and I could read it in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that..." I said.

I feel his warm breath caressing my cheeks, sending shivers all over my body.

"Why not?"

I take a long deep breath making my chest move up and down, his voice was low and husky, making me feel an unknown sensation in my body. I immediately raise my hand before making a finger movement.

A purple aura illuminated my hand, immediately Anakin stepped back. I lower my hand before leaving, my head bowed. I go directly to my room, closing the door behind me.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

I couldn't sleep, Anakin's room was right next to mine and I could hear him having a nightmare, he sounded like he was crying, angry. I'm not sure, I don't know what these noises are.

Or maybe they are moaning? Oh shit... Maybe he's having sex with a girl? I wouldn't be surprised if he's having a one-night stand with a Naboo resident.

But what if he's just having a nightmare? He must be in pain and I'm here wondering if he's fucking a girl? What an idiot I am, seriously. But I don't want to go and wake him up to stop his suffering after what happened in the kitchen, meeting his eyes would be torture.

I think for a few seconds, what if he was shirtless? Oh my god, why am I thinking about this seriously? I should be waking him up already. I suddenly get up and walk out of my room towards Anakin's room.

I open it slowly before putting my hand in front of my eyes in case he is shirtless, I approach the bed blindly trying not to trip, I open my hand slowly before seeing that it was all dark, so I couldn't see anything. I sigh with relief.

I remove my hand completely before moving closer to his bed, I sit on the edge before placing my hand on Anakin's shoulder.

"Anakin?" I whisper.

I could feel his anger, sadness and pain. I try to wake him up a second time, but nothing. I sigh then, seeing him in pain was torture. I concentrate then trying to find a solution.

And after a few seconds I find one. If I can't wake him up, then I'll make him see something other than his nightmare. I then close my eyes before trying to get into his head. To do that, I would have to use two of my abilities, enter his mind and take control of it to make him see something else.

I take a long breath before concentrating, I manage to enter his head, I see a woman, she is suffering. She suffers a lot, she screams with pain. I don't know who it is. Maybe someone from her family, a close deceased? Whatever it is, it's hurting him and I have to stop it.

I concentrate, before taking control of his mind, I look for some memories from his past, his childhood. I find a rather joyful memory. A speeder race on Tatooine.

Anakin was still a child, I would say 10 years old. So I show him this. I concentrate on the sounds around me before I feel his breathing slow down, he looked calmer.

I open my eyes, I was still in the dark, I could not see Anakin's face. I quietly got up from his bed before turning around and walking out of his room and into my own.
