Destined Love - Anakin Skywalker

Chapter 7

Anakin stood around a halotable with Obi Wan, Rex and Ahsoka. Obi wan was speaking about an attack on a Star Destroyer carrying separatist secrets.

Obi Wan spoke with confidence and authority. "The separatist ship will be arriving near Yavin tomorrow at noon. We will take a small number of clones to shoot at the ships and its smaller company ships, this will be led by Rex. Anakin, Ashoka and Myself, will board the ship and steal the information from their database." Obi Wan stopped and looked at his ex padawan who he hoped would let the mission go easy. "Without them knowing. Simple in and out."

Obi Wan looked around the table and Rex nodded in agreement. Asoka looked to Anakin who watched the ship they were going to attack float above the table. Anakin had a far away look in his eyes. On that Obi Wan would not ignore.

"Any questions?" the auburn haired man asked.

Rex spoke up first. He adjusted his posture to be straighter before announcing the group. "No, I will debrief the troops and assign ships now." Rex saluted the man before walking out of the control room.

"Ashoka go help Rex." Ashoka was quick to leave the room.

Once the door shut behind her Anakin finally spoke. "I have a bad feeling about this Obi Wan."

Obi Wan wanted to dig deeper. Anakin was always strong with the force when he would try. "What kind of feeling?"

Anakin could feel a familiar connection. He just hoped he was wrong about it. "I don't know. I just know that this plan isn't going to go as smoothly as we hope." Obi Wan now looked at him quizzingly but Anakin's eyes still never left the holographic ship. "But this time it won't be all my fault." Anakin finally turned to his old master, giving him a sarcastic look.

"Look deeply into the force of Anakin. Try to find out as much as you can about this feeling you have. '' Anakin nodded in agreement before quickly making his way back to his room.

He immediately undid his robe exposing his chest trying to feel the air in the room. He knew what the force was trying to tell him. Tomorrow he will see her for the first time in months. They'd had a few dreams together -which he still had doubts that they were dreaming together- He didn't know what the next day would bring. The idea of battling with her brought him great worry.

"I can feel you lurking close to Anakin." Her calm voice flooded the room. She was in her dark black armor. Her braids hang long and free the ends grazing her hips. She looked dangerously beautiful.

"I can't feel you. You still feel like you are galaxies away." she looked up at her. They always seemed to end up in this position. One of them is upset and the other is digging for answers without pushing too hard.

"It's on purpose. Just know we've never been closer than right now." She spoke very vulnerable and honest.

"I want to feel your presence. I want to see you in person." Anakin spoke passionately. The dreams felt like he was being teased. Like their destiny and this so-called connection was being dangled in front of him but just slightly out of reach.

"I don't know if we'd ever achieve that outside of the battle field Anakin." Nayara spoke honestly. "We are both in the middle of leading a war that was on opposite sides." Nayara spoke like she was trying to not only convince Anakin but herself.

Meeting up together could be dangerous. One planet could be safe for one but not the other. Not unless they went far away.

"We can." Anakin was passionate and it shocked Nayara. In the few brief conversations they had she hadn't thought that he was genuinely interested in knowing each other like their prophecy said they should.

"Maybe one day. When the war is closer to being over. Right now in its peak and I am in battle every other day, sneaking away for even an hour does not go unnoticed by my army." At her words Anakin deflated. He needed to see her face to face. It was an urge deep inside of him that he couldn't ignore.

"I understand. We will meet face to face one day. And I greatly anticipate Yara." Anakin looked up at her with emotion filled eyes.

That was the day Anakin started to see her in a new light. An angel dressed in black. A beautiful fallen angel.
