Anakin's POV
I sat on the bed, I waited for Prim to come back. I need her right now. I need her soft voice comforting me. I need her sweet hugs. I need her here with me. I remember that one night when I broke into tears with only Luke and Leia. They probably don't remember that though.
Someone knocked on the door, Leia, "father?" She asked softly.
"Yes," I answered, I barely could get the words out of my mouth. Soon I will burst into tears.
"May I come in," she asked. I could tell she was concerned.
"Sure," I said with tears welling up in my eyes.
She opened the door and walked in. She said sat down next to me and could tell something was wrong, "what's the matter?"
"Almost everything, I'm back to where I was confused and not knowing what path to choose," I answered beginning to cry.
"I don't follow," she said confused.
"Back to where I was when I began turning to the dark side. Confused as to which path to take, light or dark," I explained.
"Why? Not go long ago you were yourself, giving us knowledge about the dark side so we could predict they're next move and conquer them, not wanting to join them," she said.
"I know, the emperor is trying to trick me again, you see a Jedi mind trick work on the weak minded and they are obvious when they are used. Sith mind tricks are way different, I know he's trying to play with my mind," I said.
"Then don't fall for it, I know you, you would never go back," she said.
"I'm not sure anymore," I began sobbing.
"I've never seen you cry," she said comforting me.
"You have, you've seen me cry worse than this," I told her.
"When," she questioned.
"You were two, that's why you don't remember," I pointed out.
"Oh," she said still trying to remember.
"Look, I know I sound crazy, but you'll never understand," I said.
"I know that, but I'm trying, I don't think you should go on missions until you know your destiny. I want you to stay, Luke wants you to stay, mother wants you to stay, we all want you stay. You can't leave us, I hate to tell you but without you mother would most likely die, then none of us would try to stop anything, you mean the galaxy to all of us," she explained.
"Thank you, that really helped and I think you're right I shouldn't be around the emperor until my mind is straight," I agreed wiping my tears.
"Good, I will let the general know," she said.
"Thank you," I sighed. I can't turn, I can't leave my family.
