Another Path (Anakin Skywalker) (#Wattys2016)

Ten || Mustafar

Anakin's POV

She ran off the ship, when we reached each other we hugged. "What are you doing here," I asked.

"I was so worried about you! Obi Wan told me terrible things," she said.

"What things," I questioned.

"He said you've turned to the dark side," she began almost crying, "he said, you killed younglings!"

"Obi Wan is trying to turn you against me," I replied.

"He would never," she disagreed.

"I don't want to hear anymore about Obi Wan," I said.

"Anakin the only thing I want or will ever need is your love," she said.

"But that can't save you, only my new powers can," I told her.

"At the cost of losing you," she denied.

"I won't loose you the way I lost my mother. I'm doing this all to protect you," I explained.

"Anakin, I can take care of myself! You need to drop this all before it goes to far," she said putting her hands on my neck.

"I don't want to. I'm more powerful than the Chancellor. I can over throw him and together you and I can rule the Galaxy, make things the way we want," I said showing more of the goodness in my plan.

She backed away from me, "I don't believe what I'm hearing! Obi Wan was right you have changed. Anakin you're not who I fell in love with. Anakin, I love you," she cried.

"LIAR," I yelled when I saw Obi Wan standing on her ship.

"Your with him you brought him here to kill me," I yelled.

"NO! Anakin why woul-" as she talked I then did something I never thought I would ever do. I used my metal hand and used the force to choke her.

"Let her go Anakin," Obi Wan demanded. "Let. Her. Go," I finally let go of her. She took in a breath and fell to the ground unconscious. She's still alive I can feel it.

"You turned her against me," I growled.

"You have done that yourself," he shouted.

I began pacing and taking off my cloak, "you will not take her from me," I yelled.

"Your anger and your lust for power have already done that," he said taking off his cloak. We began circling each other, "you have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind until now... until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy."

"Don't lecture me Obi Wan, I see through the lies of the Jedi... I do not fear the dark side as you do," I said and stopped walking and turned away, "I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire."

"Your new empire," he questioned.

"Don't make me kill you," I hissed.

"Anakin, my allegiance is to the republic, to democracy!" he shouted.

"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy," I said.

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must," he said igniting his lightsaber.

"You will try," I said. I did a backflip igniting my lightsaber and began fighting Obi Wan.
