MY MIND IS DAZED AND MY EYES ARE SQUEEZED TIGHTLY SHUT. I let out a groan and wince as my head aches. My body lays pressed against something hard and I blink my eyes open. I frantically look around and hear the sound of chains moving from my actions.
"It's alright, I've got you." Anakin mumbles out and I look down at my wrists which are chained together. I move from my resting place against him and take a look around me. The two of us are chained to a cart with Geonosians surrounding it.
"What happened?" My voice is scratchy and my ears are ringing. I look down for my lightsaber but it isn't there. "They got us not long after you passed out from exhaustion. They took Padmé somewhere else." My eyes widen at his words. How could I have been so weak to allow us to be captured? I am the Jedi in charge of this mission.
I close my eyes and search for Padmé through the Force. My ears continue to ring and my brain pounds within my skull. A finger places itself on the back of my hand to stop me. "Stop, you drained yourself. You need to gain your energy back." I swallow harshly and open my eyes.
My hands are trembling and I close them into fists. My throat is burning and I stare down at my hands. "I'm so sorry." My voice cracks and burns my throat. "I'm so sorry, Anakin. I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to stop this." The Force is showing me what will happen, we will all die if I don't pull myself together and fight.
"We're all going to die." I lift my head and turn to look at him. "Don't be afraid." His voice is a whisper, trying to comfort me, I shake my head. "I'm not afraid to die." It was inevitable to happen at any given moment since I became a Jedi.
My body is aching and trembling as the magnetic pull towards Anakin grows and pains me. I make a face and squeeze my eyes shut. My heart is aching and pounding quickly within me. "What is this feeling Anakin, I don't understand it." My voice is a whisper and I refuse to meet his gaze.
"It pains me, it aches me every time we are apart. Even when we are together, I'm still in pain." We lock eyes and emotions swarm inside of me, emotions I believe I am starting to understand. "What are you talking about?" He asks me, his voice soft.
I search through his eyes, my heart pounding through everything inside of me. But his gaze, his soft gaze is dulling the aching feeling inside of me. It's making my heavy chest tingle and my heart beat erratically. My hands are trembling and I'm gazing at him.
I'm searching for words, I'm searching through everything I have read about for an answer. For the answer. I find it, but I'm unable to speak the words. I take in a breath, blinking my eyes as I try to speak. "I..." I suck in a deep breath and lower my gaze to the floor.
