Imagine Anakin's Alternative Versions...

Imagine you are saved from the dark side by Anakin Skywalker

Imagine you are saved from the dark side by Anakin Skywalker.

Warnings1: the plot of this story involves the exclusion of the Ventress in her arc of "The Clone Wars". This means Y/N is the apprentice of Count Dooku, but when he thinks he has you killed, you are not. You are rescued by Anakin instead... Is there redemption for you after all?

Warnings 2: smut, lots of drama, action, angst. Don't read this if you are minor or possess any sensibility with these themes.

Recommendations: "Bring Me To Life", "Lost in Paradise", by Evanescence. "Nemo", by Nightwish. "St Jude", by Florence and the Machine.

Intro

Darth Sidious reaches out for Dooku. Through the hologram he can see the Count going on one knee to greet the Sith Lord.

"Master."

"The power of Y/N is growing. You must prevent it from growing it further. This is an imperative order."

Dooku hesitates.

"But she has been my faithful servant..."

It's when he begins to suffocate. Life has never before been at this close to be put an end.

"I am not to be questioned. Remember, my apprentice, that I don't tolerate any failures whatsoever."

Dooku is on his feet again, breathless. He nods his head.

"Of course, Master. It will be as you wish."

"Good."

Your death warrant has thus been signed.

***

Your black hair falls loose behind your back all the while a dark cape with a long hood omits your features. Darkness is in you and power is alluring. Almost every enemy that crosses your path does not live to tell the grandiosity you possess. Your reputation proceeds you to the point even those who are your allies whisper how you strongly opposed Master Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Knight Jedi Anakin Skywalker once.

You don't care about reputations. You are not there to conquer anyone by fear or anger. You are there to ensure the missions assigned to you are done without second effects.

There are moments, however, where you are under a heavy rain sensing something's wrong is about to begin. And that is what happens now. You don't recollect how exactly you end up serving Dooku, but here you are, serving him to survive.

Yes. It has always been a matter of survival. Had not it been for such, I would have not fallen.

You are surprised when old memories of your family and friends come back to haunt you. But there is little time to dwell in their faces. As you are going back to your ship after unsuccessfully battling Kenobi in planet Y/C, rain starts to get heavier and you sense you are being followed.

You turn and you don't see anyone. There is nothing around you, no one near you. But the presence is there. Though you are prepared for a fight, you know it's a risk to stay there, in an open field within a strange planet.

You go back to your ship, uneasy. Your shoulders are tense and as you prepare to fly, your heart is tormented with a bad feeling. It doesn't take longer to concretize, though: once your ship is leaving the atmosphere of that planet, you hear a strange sound.

"Who would attack me like this?"

What you see is that the attack does not come from any ship you might remember by the association to Jedis, the Senates or even maybe a Separatist.
