LIVE IN YOUR LIGHT | anakin skywalker x fem oc

08.

We had been flying for an hour and Padme was still sleeping in the back. It was quiet, we had put ourselves on autopilot.

"Does she sleep that much?" Anakin asks, looking back at my sister.

I turn to her, watching her sleep. I sigh quietly before turning to Anakin while playing with my knife.

"She can't be sleeping much knowing that people are trying to murder her." I reply.

Anakin shrugs, nodding his head as he finds the reason rather obvious. As I twirl my knife, it slips from my hands, flying a little further behind me. I turn around and see an invisible force suddenly stop it, holding it in the air.

I turn to Anakin, who stands up before retrieving it. He looks at it for a few moments. I stand up with a sigh. I approach the blond then hold out my hand.

"Well played Merlin, now give it back to me."

Anakin looks up at me, a sneer on his lips. He speaks up.

"Beg me then."

I frown before tilting my head to the side with a smile. Does he really think I'm going to beg him? That he's naive.

"No.

- Then come and get it."

He throws the sword in the air, spinning it around, before catching it by the handle. He points it at me, I smile mischievously as I raise my hands in the air.

Anakin slowly approaches me before sliding the blade of the knife under my chin, raising my head slightly. I feel the coldness of the blade caress my skin, Anakin kept his eyes locked in mine.

I look down at his belt where his lightsaber was hanging. I immediately grab the sword before grabbing his lightsaber with my other hand, I spin around while pressing the lightsaber. A blinding blue glow comes out of the object.

I parallel slide the saber around the blond's neck before pointing the sword at him.

"You didn't see that coming." I say with a smile.

Anakin stifles a laugh before looking down at his saber. He immediately raises his hands in the air, a vibrating sound coming from the weapon.

"My saber looks great on you, you should become a Jedi."

I smile softly as I squint, I ink my gaze into his before thanking him. Anakin then gets serious again.

"Now give it back." He says.

I slowly raise my head, giving a feeling of looking down on him.

"Beg me then."

Anakin smiles as he sees that I had reused his words. I slide my thumb over the button on the saber to close it. The blond man lowers his eyes to the weapon one last time. He raises them and speaks.

"Please."

I smile victoriously before lowering my weapons and closing the sword, the blue glow disappearing. I hand the silver object back to Anakin. He takes it back and puts it away. I smile one last time as I look Anakin up and down. I turn my back on him and go to sit down, taking off the autopilot before starting to take over the controls. I see Anakin sit down next to me.

We had arrived on Tatooine, we got off a small carriage. Anakin turns to the droid who was driving it.

"Wait there."

The droid nods, we walk towards a small terracotta house, a rather small creature with wings and a long snout was sitting on a stool. Anakin walks up to it, beginning to speak to it in a language I didn't know. I only understand a few words that were proper names, like Jedi, Shmi Skywalker who I guess is Anakin's mother.

Immediately the creature widens its bulging eyes before uttering a word that I could understand.

"Ani?" It whispers.

The creature finally begins to speak our language, it begins to flap its wings hovering a few measly feet off the ground. The creature walks up next to Anakin before asking my friend if he could help him with a money matter. I immediately turn to Padme and meet her gaze.

She shrugs, I sigh quietly before hearing Anakin return to the subject of his mother, I turn my gaze to them. The creature starts scratching the back of his neck before admitting that he no longer owns his mother and that he has sold her.

I immediately understand that his mother was a slave, and I guess that Anakin was too when he was young. I look down, feeling a little sorry for Anakin.

"You sold her?

- Sorry, but you know, business is business." The creature replies to Anakin.

The creature then indicates that he sold it to a moisture grower named Lars. He then reveals that the cultivator would have freed her and married her.

"Do you know where they are now?" Anakin asks as he leans toward the creature.

The latter takes a long time to think before telling us that they lived far from here, somewhere on the other side of Mos Eisley. Anakin begins to lose patience.

"I'd like to know." He says firmly.

The creature nods before inviting us inside to search its records, I quietly turn to Padme before whispering something.

"This rotter is really taking a long time to talk. I say, grumbling.

- I feel bad for Anakin.

- And I do too." I say as I walk in letting Padme pass me by.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

We were in the ship, flying a few miles above the ground, I looked at Anakin a few times, wondering how he was feeling. Is he afraid? Is he sad or angry? I approached Padme, who was farther back.

"Was... Anakin a slave?" I say quietly.

Padme looks up at me before slowly nodding her head positively. I nod before feeling that we had just landed. Anakin opens the doors, I then stand up accompanied by Padme, we exit the ship. It was deserted.

There was a small clay igloo in the middle of a dry desert, next to it was a kind of crater, like a hole in the sand. I turned my gaze before I saw a droid further on, it was made of steel, it had a human shape. Anakin approaches it.

"Oh, hello! How can I be of service to you? I'm C...

- 3PO?" Anakin continues.

I understand that he was a protocol droid. We pull up in front of it, the droid immediately takes offense.

"The maker! Master Ani! I knew you would return! And Miss Padme!"

My sister salutes the droid, C3PO then turns to me before speaking up.

"And you are?

- Oriana Naberrie." I introduce myself with a smile.

The droid jumps for joy before telling me it was a pleasure to see us. He then shares how happy he is to have Anakin and Padme back.

"I came to see my mother." Anakin said.

The droid starts to stammer before offering us to go inside. We follow him, going inside the igloo.
