Dark Paradise || Anakin Skywalker x Fem!Reader

Chapter 7

(anakin's pov)

"Anakin... save me..."

"Anakin. My son. Help me!"

Loud children, women, men echoing screams.

"Save me!"

I wake up in a sweat, trying to take in air. It was my mother again, my mother's voice calling for me in a dream. It was blurry, except I could see my own mother gasping for air, covered in her own blood pleading for mercy and for me to save her. I can't take this anymore, these nightmares have to mean something. They must be real, since they've been recurring to me every night.

I leave my room, going back to the penthouse room and go outside on the balcony to meditate and think.

My first thought was actually about Y/n, then my mother. Y/n's stomach stabbing words are still floating in my brain space, 'we must hide our feelings, and never speak of this again.' I can't hide my feelings, at least not anymore. But if it's what Y/n really wants, I'll just have to deal with the fact that we can't be together, ever. Chills go down my spine just thinking about it, we can't be together. We can never be together. Unless she changes her mind, then fuck I would drop everything, and run off to another planet just for her. But that would never happen.

My eyes still closed, and my hands gripping on one another behind my back, I feel a bright uplifting presence near me. It's Y/n, without even disturbing my meditation I can already tell it's her just by her positive aura. I hear her foot steps, coming closer to me. She then reaches her hand towards my shoulder, but then she hesitates walking towards the exiting door.

"Don't go." My eyes still closed.

"Oh, I didn't want to disturb you." Her voice is like an angel whispering comforting things in your ear.

Still not turning her direction, "Your presence is soothing." I hear a slight breath of air escape her mouth.

"You had another nightmare about your mother."

She now has my full attention, "How did you know?"

I feel a bright warm smile appears across her face making my heart flutter, "I could sense it. That and I heard you."

I then open my eyes, and turn towards her direction. Her voice just as beautiful as her face, her lips are pink and puffy, and she's wearing her night gown still but her Jedi robes are covering it slightly, and her hair is put up in an elegant bun with curly strands lose on the sides.

I'm looking her up and down admiring her beauty, not caring if she sees me yearning for her.

"My mother, is in pain Y/n. I saw her this time as clearly as I see you right now standing in front of me. She is suffering. It has to be real. I know we would be disobeying our mandate to protect Padme, but I just have to go, to Tatooine." I take a few steps back from her, my back facing her now. I don't want her to see me vulnerable and worried. I let out a big sigh.

Silence fills the air for a moment, then Y/n pats my shoulder calmly, "I'll go with you Anakin. Whatever it is you need, I'll help you."

I turn to her, surprised she would care this much and disobey her brother's strict orders for me, "You would? I mean I don't even know if the Senator would agree with this-" she interrupts me putting her finger to my lips, "She must have to, we have no choice. Schmi could be in danger."

She's too perfect, too good for me. Another reason why I can't have her, she's way better of a person than I have ever been and always will be. We then both look at each other intensely, sympathy and sad smiles appearing on both of our faces.

(so sorry for extremely short chapter! more will be realized soon, love you all!!) 🤍🤍
