LIVE IN YOUR LIGHT | anakin skywalker x fem oc

22.

I was in the hallway in front of the door to Chancellor Palpatine's office. I turned to Anakin, wondering what I should do, should I knock? My friend simply nodded, urging me to knock. I do so and wait for an answer. And in the same second, Palpatine's voice rings out.

I turn to Anakin who quietly speaks up.

"I'll wait for you here."

I nod before opening the door and entering, I then see the chancellor sitting on a chair, he smiles politely at me. I close the door behind me before stepping forward.

"Hello chancellor.

- Good morning senator."

I join my hands together, fidgeting with my fingers, wondering why the chancellor had asked me? Had I done something wrong? It's pretty frustrating not knowing. The chancellor gets up from his chair, so I speak up, determined to find out why he had asked me to his office.

"You wanted to see me?" I ask.

The chancellor nods before turning to the large picture window, he walks towards it, I hear his voice speaking to me.

"Come here child."

I comply and join him next to him in front of the bay window. There was a great view of Coruscant, a few miles away was the Jedi Temple.

"I have heard a great deal about your exploits in the arena on Geonosis.

- Oh, did you? I said, though I wasn't surprised, all the galaxies know about it.

- Yes, I wanted to see you six months ago before you left for Naboo but I couldn't.

- Oh... Don't worry Chancellor. If you wanted to know if... if this would all be potentially dangerous, I have the situation under control." I'm lying, I don't really have it under control.

Because if I did, I wouldn't have Anakin behind my back for a week. But I want to be reassuring, especially to the Chancellor.

"I'm not worried about that, Senator. I just had a few questions to ask you about... your powers.

- Oh, which ones?" I said in surprise.

I thought he was just looking for reassurance, but I was wrong. I turned my face towards the chancellor waiting for him to ask me his questions.

"Do you... Do you know the origins of your powers?"

I frown. Why is he asking me a question like that? I think for a few moments before answering the chancellor.

"No, I don't know them. I wish I knew them, but I don't. According to the Jedi Council, there has never been a person with such powerful and... destructive powers."

The chancellor nods his head up and down before turning completely to me. I rest my eyes on the bay window, avoiding his gaze. I hear his voice echoing in my ears.

"And, have there been any developments lately? Or anything unusual?"

This was getting weird. All these questions. He doesn't ask them casually. I tried to get into his head trying to figure out what he wanted from me but his mind is closed. It's not normal.

He wants to know something, or he already knows things that I don't know. And that's what worries me.

"No, nothing." I say.

I turn to the chancellor. Meeting his eyes still trying to read his mind, but it's impossible. I'm sure if I were more powerful than I already am, I would have been able to do it, but his mind is closed and I don't understand why or how.
