Y/n POV
I groaned a bit as I felt the aches my body held. It wasn't as bad as before, but it definitely still hurt. When my eyes fluttered open I felt a presence beside me. When I opened my eyes slowly and I squinted my eyes due to the bright white lights. When I noticed the cloaked man beside me I smiled softly. I knew it was Anakin, it's hard to mistake that amazing face and his dirty blonde hair.

"Y/n.." he spoke this so softly and with relief. I couldn't help but smile. "Hey" I said even though my voice sounded so horse from it being dry. He held a cup he was drinking water out of to me. I took it gently and drank some of it. I gave a sigh of relief, as I looked at my body I noticed my cuts where all better thanks to the bacta but the bruises would have to heal on their own.

I felt a bit of panic from Anakin as I looked over at him. "What's wrong?" I sat up a bit as the aches came back. I sighed when I was finally putting my legs on the side of the bed. "The...Emperor is here. He-" I froze a bit and I felt my gut tighten. "He sensed you. He wants me to take you to him when you woke up. He sensed your ability" I gulped as I looked at his eyes with an almost panic. "What- what do I do?" I sounded scared now.

He shook his head as he softly placed his hands on my arms. "We have to go. He'll know your awake at some point. If I send you away he'll more then likely hunt you down or worse force me to kill you myself" I shivered when he said this. He could never do that, could he? "Of course I couldn't" he answered my thoughts. I forgot due to my panic he could still read my mind. "Listen y/n. I'll be there too. Maybe he'll try and have you join us. If anything he could always have me train you. But that means you will no longer be our station's mechanic."

I looked down and bit my lip. If he wanted me to join then that means he'll probably sense the bond we held. From what I've heard he's a sick man and he is cold, cruel, and doesn't care if people live or die. He always gets what he wants. I gripped my fists, realizing I was going to be forced into servitude all over again. But instead of serving my other slave owner I am just now owned by Anakin's owner who can easily destroy planets with a snap of his fingers. I shivered thinking about that.

Anakin seemed to realized and he held me close. He rubbed my back and kissed my head. "I won't let him hurt you y/n. We'll be in this together" it felt weird hearing him say that. We where owned together growing up. Now we where back to square one. I nodded gripping his shirt as I got off of the bed. "Let's- let's just get this over with" he gently squeezed my arms but I didn't make eye contact. He softly placed his hand under my chin to make me look up at him. Those beautiful blue eyes of his making me slightly calm down. "I can feel your anxiety. Don't worry." He leaned in and kissed me deeply.

This kiss was definitely what I needed right now. When he parted I whined a bit at the loss of contact. He gave a smile at this as he gave me a last squeeze. "Follow me" he walked out of the room as I followed behind. His cloak flowing behind him as I looked up to him. I missed his contact already. The closer we got the more I began to get scared. Maybe it would help if I felt like I was going to meet Rick again. Thinking of it that way my fear got under control. I couldn't show this man weakness. I couldn't show him I was afraid. If he's as sick as my old owner then he'll get a sick satisfaction from it.

I won't give him that satisfaction I thought strongly. I heard Anakin give a chuckle as he looked over his shoulder. I could only see the tip of his nose and his lips move. "Always the brave one, my Angel" I smiled at that nickname. When we made it in front of a door Anakin turned around to me. "Now. When we get in there. We'll walk close to him and you are to get on your knees—" I held my hand up. "I was a slave most of my life. I do remember how it goes when visiting your owner"

He flinched at my words. I could feel how he didn't like that way of putting it. But something in him couldn't deny how I put it either. As he nodded the door opened and we walked inside. Once we got close enough he got on his knees and I got on mine beside him. "Master. I have brought y/n to you. Like you asked" I heard a chair turn as a man, if that's what you could call him, looked our way. He wore a darker cloak then Anakin's. His skin was a sickening pale and his face looked so sunken. His forehead from what I could see had no hair and looked like a shriveled brain.
