LIVE IN YOUR LIGHT | anakin skywalker x fem oc

21.

Anakin and I were sitting around my coffee table with a large plate of sushi, I grabbed a salmon and avocado with sesame seed with my chopsticks before eating it. It was dark outside, the only sources of light were the moon, and blue lights hanging from the ceiling. I swallowed my sushi before pointing my chopsticks at Anakin's face.

"How did you get that scar?

- Over the right eye?" Anakin asks.

I nod my head up and down, Anakin then looks down at the plate of sushi before taking one with seaweed and eating it, he finally answers me.

"Very long story... It's really not aesthetic anyway.

- Don't say that. I like it. It gives you a warrior look, a wild look."

Anakin starts to laugh, shaking his head from right to left, looking desperate.

"Finally, I think I'll stay with you longer, it's been a long time since I've eaten this well." He says.

I see him grab his glass of water before taking a sip. I raise my eyebrows in surprise before responding to Anakin.

"Really?"

He nods in agreement, I then bring my left leg up against my chest before speaking up, gently tapping my chopsticks against the table to make them the same size.

"What's stopping you from staying with me longer?"

Immediately Anakin looks up at me, raising his eyebrows slightly. I smile fondly at my friend before he responds by looking down.

"Would you put up with me for a few more weeks?

- Of course I would. It's not like you're that hard to take. On the contrary, I enjoy your company."

I grab a piece of sushi before I see Anakin smile. I take a sip of water before speaking up.

"I could claim a little more of your company from Master Windu. I'm sure he won't refuse.

- I think so." Anakin smiled.

He picks up a piece of sushi before putting it in his mouth, I see him gently slide his chopsticks between his lips. I then look down before speaking.

"Besides, I have a charity event on Naboo in two weeks... Maybe you could go with me? Maybe it'll give you a chance to go back to Naboo as well?

- I'd be happy to."

I smile softly before I start eating again, I immediately speak up.

"I've been summoned by the Chancellor tomorrow morning, Nala told me by hologram earlier.

- I will accompany you then." He says with a smile.

I smile back before nodding, we get back to eating while continuing to talk.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about Anakin. I really don't know what's happening to me right now, I don't know what he's doing to me. I'm going to believe that he has put a spell on me or that he is using the force on me. It was really frustrating.

Every time he was near me, I felt weird. Like nothing around me mattered anymore, like time stopped. I felt like I could be myself with him. That I didn't need to hide behind beautiful, glamorous dresses, big, hypocritical smiles or sophisticated manners like a princess. I could be me, Oriana. And not princess and senator Oriana. I pity my sister Padme who will have to become queen of Naboo in a few years. Thank God I'm not the oldest so I don't have to rule over billions of people.

I just know that one day if Padme decides to die, abandoning me, I will be forced to take over, blood Naberrie or not since my two little sisters are too young to rule. I sigh before suddenly hearing a high-pitched thud, tinnitus.

"Oh no not again..." I say as I stand up.

I shake my earlobe but nothing stopped them, on the contrary they got louder. Then I don't hear any noise coming from outside, it was silent and the tinnitus became unbearable. Even painful. I groaned quietly in pain trying not to wake Anakin before the tinnitus stopped.

But I still couldn't hear anything. I shook my lobe again, hoping to get my ears to open before I suddenly heard something whispering in my ear.

"Oriana..."

I turn around, expecting to see someone behind me, but no one. What's going on? What's wrong with me? The voice suddenly gets louder, I could hear it echoing around me, it kept calling my name, then a single voice turned into hundreds, men and women whispering my name.

Am I going crazy? Was I hearing voices? No, it couldn't be in my head. The voices suddenly stop before I hear a male whispering in my ear.

"Oriana, the time has come..."

I slowly raise my head before I see everything around me change, I was still losing control. My room was turning into different planets, it was slowly changing first, I recognize Tatooine, Naboo, Hoth, Geonosis, Kashyyyk... Then they are put to change more quickly.

The tinnitus had started again. I put my hands against my two ears, everything was changing around me, and even faster, I didn't even have the time to tell myself where I was or even the time to analyze the planet that it passed to another.

Sometimes I lost control with my reality shifts but not so strangely, this was new. And I felt something was wrong. Suddenly I stopped at a planet. The tinnitus stops. I take my hands away.

I look around. It was hot, I was in a kind of canyon. There was a strange atmosphere. I didn't feel safe. I looked around and saw several huge statues of several meters high, they represented men with capes, heads down... Where am I?

I hear someone whispering behind me, I turn around and see a huge temple in the shape of a pyramid, I look up. Was I dreaming? I suddenly see a figure coming from the distance, coming out of the temple. I could not see who it was.

The person was wearing a long cloak, like the statues. A hood hid his face. The tinnitus started again. I screamed in pain as I watched the man walk slowly towards me, I panicked, what was happening to me? I am having a nightmare and I will wake up...

The tinnitus stops, and I immediately hear the same male voice.

"We will return."

And immediately, I was back on Coruscant in my room, in my bed. My breathing was ragged and I could feel sweat on my back. Immediately I see Anakin come into my room.

"Oriana?!" He says.

He sees me in a panic. I start to cry, still in shock, trying to figure out what had just happened to me, even though I didn't know. Immediately Anakin rushes over to me before sitting across from me on my bed.

"What happened? he says worriedly.

- I don't know... I heard voices and everything changed around me, realities... They changed, I lost control again and then I... I landed somewhere... A planet and there was a man..." I tried to speak despite my jerky breathing and racing heart.

Immediately Anakin took me in his arms trying to comfort me, I felt his hand gently caress my back, I then put my head on his shoulder.

"It was awful..." I said scared.

I feel Anakin's chin rest on my head, trying to calm my sobs, I hear him whisper a few words.

"It's over, you're safe with me..."
