𝚂 𝙸 𝚇

I REST MY HANDS ON THE STONE RAILING AND STARE OUT AT THE LAKE. Padmé is having a nap, tired from our travels. Anakin is somewhere I don't know, probably exploring the area. But the pull through the Force is trying to lead me towards him, I ignore it.

The previous conversation with Padmé and her sister has been occupying my mind. I don't know why it is, I do not fancy Anakin. I'm sure of it, I'm sure I don't. Even if I did, it is forbidden. I have dedicated my life to the Jedi order and some school girl crush will not get in the way of it.

I will continue to prove myself to my Master, and to the people who believe I am incapable of becoming a Master Jedi because of my disability and young age.

I feel this need, this itch to show that I will become a great Jedi, but this feeling is against the Jedi Code, and I shove it away deep inside of me.

I close my eyes, feeling the cold stone under my palms. I focus on meditating and strengthening my mind, I need to ignore this pulling sensation, this magnetic type of feeling. It will not help me become a Master, which means it is unimportant.

I keep my eyes closed and search around the area through the Force for anyone who poses harm. I find nothing and let out a sigh. I slip off my cloak as the scorching sun warms my skin. I fold it and place it on top of the stone.

I need to practice my saber technique, I must advance. I move away from the stone railing and make myself a safe distance from everything surround me. I grab my lightsaber from the hold and ignite it.

I close my eyes, slashing in directions, feeling through the Force to guide me. I can hear the pink lightsaber slash through the air as I swing my wrist. In a moment, I hear the ignition of another lightsaber and it clashes with mine.

I keep my eyes closed, feeling through the Force to guide me. My lightsaber moves downwards and I quickly slash sideways from its low position. I move forwards, continuing with my movements. If I get pushed backwards, I'll lose. Which is why I need to keep pushing forwards.

The lightsabers clash and I push forwards. I'm going down steps, continuing to swing my lightsaber before I manage to knock his saber from his hand. He staggers backward and I call his saber to my hand, catching it as it flies towards me.

I point my pink lightsaber at him and open my eyes. Anakin pants underneath me, staring up at me in shock with a smirk on his lips. His cheeks are pink, matching the colour of my saber and I turn it off, clipping it back onto my belt.

I hold out a hand to him and hold him up. Anakin staggers towards me, panting slightly. "Y-You had your eyes closed that entire time." He pants out and I hand him his lightsaber which he takes gratefully. I flash him a smile, glancing behind him and at the water that stands there.
