❐❝mad Love ❙ ❨anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader❩

chapter thirty eight

"You should have told me" Luke reproaches him, "you told me that Vader betrayed and killed my parents"

"Him were seduced by the dark side of the force. Your father stopped being Anakin Skywalker to be Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed"

"And my mother? She was there, she didn't look very good"

"Your mother is a person who has been through a lot, letting you go was one of the biggest sacrifices she has ever made. What I told you was true, only from a certain point of view."

"Certain point of view?" he says he wryly.

“You will discover that many of the truths we accept are highly dependent on our point of view. Anakin, he was a great friend, when I met your father he was already a great pilot, but I was amazed at the strength that was in him. I vowed to train him to become a Jedi, I thought I might as well train him like Yoda would. I made a mistake".

"There is still goodness in him, in both of us"

"He is more machine than man, now. Cruel and ruthless. Your mother has been too brainwashed of her, they have her like a beast ready to attack"

"I wouldn't. I can't" he shook his head.

"You cannot escape your destiny, you must face Darth Vader again, and if necessary the scarlet witch"

"I wouldn't kill my parents"

"Then the emperor has already defeated us, you were our only hope"

"Yoda spoke of another"

"The other one I'm talking about is your twin sister"

"But I don't have a sister" he says confused.

"Freya Argon had two children that she gave to Padme Amidala. Freya asked her to keep them hidden and separate to protect them from the Emperor. The Emperor knew that if Anakin had children, they would be a threat to him. That is why your sister remains safe in anonymity"

Luke looked up at the realization, "leia. Leia is my sister."

"Your instinct serves you well. Bury your feelings deep, they are worthy of you, but they might end up serving the emperor."

Luke nodded in understanding.

Freya groaned in pain as the emperor placed the bracelet around her arm. A few drops of blood fell to the ground.

The elevator opened and Darth Vader crossed the room to face the Emperor, giving Freya a small look.

"I told you that you will stay in the command ship"

"A rebel group penetrated a security shield and descended on Endor," he informed her.

"Yes I know"

"My son is with them"

"You're sure?"

"I felt his presence, master"

"It is strange, I have not perceived it, he asked me if his feelings in this matter are clear, Lord Vader"

"They are clear, master"

"Then you must go to the sanctuary of the moon and wait for him there"

"Will he come to me?

"So I have foreseen it" The emperor stroked Freya's hair, "his compassion for you will be his downfall. He will come to you and you will bring him to me"

"As you wish. I could have suggested that the scarlet witch accompany me, because after all, she is his mother."

The Emperor gives Freya's hair another thoughtful stroke, and after a few seconds, he nods.

"Luke, what's wrong with you?" She read approaches him.

Luke turns to her, "leia, do you remember your mother, your real mother?"

"Just a little, she died when I was little" Leia settles next to Luke.

"Do you remember that?"

"Just Pictures, Feelings"

"Tell me," he insisted.

Leia snorted, "she was very beautiful, I really don't know much about her, it was a forbidden subject. Why do you ask me?"

"I don't have any memory of my mother, I didn't know her," he says, somewhat lost in his thoughts. Remembering how Freya offered her hand and the way she looked at him.

"Luke, tell me, what's tormenting you?"

"Vader and Scarlet are here, on this moon, right now"

"You're sure?"

"I feel his closeness, they have come for me. He can feel my presence, that's why I must leave. If I continue here I endanger the group and the mission. I must face them"

"Because?"

"They are my parents"

"Your parents?" She repeats incredulously.

"There's still more, it won't be easy for you to hear it, but you'll have to. If I can't go back, you're the alliance's only hope."

"Don't talk like that, you have a power that I don't understand and that I would never have"

"You are wrong, Leia, you have that power, in time you will come to understand it too" Luke pauses for a few seconds, "the force is strong in my family. My father has it, I have it and my…sister has it."

Leia separates the
lips surprised by the new discovery.

"If it's you, leia"

"I know, somehow I have known, because of what happened the first time I met the scarlet witch, I felt a connection"
