Shattered Soul • Anakin Skywalker

Chapter 5.

Slight trigger warning : choking ‼️

Aurelia's POV.

After he left I decided to just go to bed and sleep. It was 9pm already after all. I changed clothes quickly and laid down. The bed wasn't that comfortable but it was better than sleeping on the floor like I used to on Naboo.

I felt restless, confused to why he came into the room but also confused on why he got me my bear. After a hour I fel asleep.

The next morning I woke up from my comlink going off, I looked and realized I over slept. I quickly got dressed and ran towards his office. I once again wanted to knock but the doors already flew open. I quietly walked inside.

He was already glaring at me and suddenly I was unable to breathe. Touching my own throat confused as to why or how this was happening. He just sat there silently watching how I struggled to breathe.

" You are late again, you know where my office was this time so you don't have a good fucking excuse for being late. " He spoke in a menacing tone that made me feels shivers all over my body.

I tried to speak but I was still unable to breathe and just looked at him for help. I didn't know he was the one using the force to choke me after all. Suddenly the feeling disappeared and I fell to the ground gasping for air.

I wasn't scared before, but this freaked me out. I was still gasping for air when he stood up, and walked towards me. He looked down at me, and I swear I could see a hint of concern which disappeared after a second.

I weakly stood up and looked up to him. " Sorry for being late, it wasn't my intention.." I spoke quietly.

" Another day, another shit pile for you to order. You better finish this in one hour or you're gonna face the consequences." He spoke with menace laced in his voice.

I quickly go to work, normally I did 2 hours on it and now I had just a hour. I worked fast, making stacks again trying to be as quickly as I could possibly get. Mentally praying that I didn't make any mistakes.

It ended up being done in a hour, I barely managed it. I walked over to his desk in silence, laying the stack of papers on it. He looked them over fast and nodded.

I was about to ask if there was more for me to do but he beat me, talking before I even had the change to speak up.

"What are types of food you enjoy to eat?" He spoke in the most normal tone of voice I've heard from him since he took me from Naboo.

" Do you mean regular food or also like candy?" I said confused. I wondered why he wanted to know, while also thinking about how good a chocolate bar would be.

"Both. I can hear you thinking about a chocolate bar already." He said.

"Yes I love chocolate, I like most candy. And as for regular foods I enjoy soup a lot." I said. I love me a good soup.

He just nodded, and stood up again walking towards me. He looked down at me, scanning my face. At least that is what I thought he was doing. He put a piece of hair that got loose behind my ear, and slightly touched my cheek.

He quickly withdrew his hand and turned cold again. " Leave now." He said angrily.

I felt so confused that I stood there frozen for a bit, and I could notice him getting angrier every second.

"I SAID LEAVE." He yelled even more angrily as before.

I immediately ran out of his office, running through the hallways until I got to my room. I looked myself up in it, and sat on the floor. Why did he put my hair behind my ear? Why did he touch my cheek? And why did it feel like he was checking me out?

I had so many thoughts going around in my mind, it was driving me nuts. I stood up, showered and got back into bed. It wasn't even night, but with everything that's going on I needed to lay down.

I got a terrible headache, and couldn't sleep at all. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to think. I was completely lost.

Suddenly there was a knock, and then he came walking inside. He just stared at me for a minute, and I just stared back.

He hold out his hand, showing a bar of chocolate. " Here." he said in a quiet voice. I slowly reached out grabbing the bar out of his gloved hand.

"Thankyou for the chocolate.. you didn't have to." I spoke just as quiet as he did before. I still had a headache and felt more lost than I did before.

"How bad is your headache?" He asked me, watching me carefully.

"It's manageable, how do you even know I have a headache?" I asked confused by him once again.

"I can hear your thoughts Aurelia. They are let's say very loud, I can hear them even if I'm far away from you." He looked at me for a minute and spoke again "Let me help you with your headache."

I just nodded at him. He put two of his gloved fingers against my temples, and I slowly felt the headache disappear. Everything went black shortly after.

He used the force to help her with her headache and make her sleep and left the room after it.
