I'm on my last breaths. I told Obi-Wan my son and daughter's names. Anakin's son and daughter's names. Our twin's names. Every time I say my husband's name my heart tears a centimetre more. I cry because I want to say Anakin's name, want to proclaim my love for him, even through his darkest times, but the pain in my heart hurts so bad, I can't bear it.
I feel my conscious ripping away from me. I desperately grab onto my memories of Anakin. I will never forget him, even after death. I remember when he was just a little kid. I remember how I loved him back then as well. I remember how I loved him after he was sent on a mission with me to protect me from the separatists. I remember our kiss on Naboo. I remember our kiss before we were to be executed. I remember our wedding day. I remember his sacrifices to me during the Clone Wars. I remember his last kiss before he turned to the dark.
Anakin and I were sitting in my balcony as we stared at Coruscant's wonders. He turned to me and said,"Nice view, don't you think?" I remember saying,"I see this practically every day. I'm sort of sick of it." He then picked me up by the waist. I remember squealing in mock terror and surprise as his strong arms carried me into my apartment. He then flopped me down on the couch gently. He then asks cheekily,"Did I spice things up?" I remember laughing so hard because he began to tickle me. We ended up as a heap on the floor, me on top of Ani. He then smirked his smirk at me, and I had to smile. We leaned in against each other and kissed. We slowly pulled out of it, like we were hesitant to stay away from each other. We were just smiling.
   Now I am crying. Because my beloved who I used to know is now a stranger to me. I mouthe Anakin as my last breath leaves me.

   I collapsed into my meditation tank after a long day of work for the Empire. The Empire is the perfect government. It is orderly, secure, and is democratic. The only problem is that people are too afraid to speak up and say their word. Fine by me. I'm a Sith Lord! I love anger and fear.
   I remove my mask and drop into meditation.

"Anakin! Anakin! ANAKIN!" screams Padmé. "I love you so much...I'm sorry I have to go on...my tearing heart is killing me...Anakin...I love you........"
   She's dead.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>><>
   "ARGGHHHH!!!" I scream and launch back into consciousness. I breathe hard, putting my head on my hands. Padmé... She is my sole lover. I only love her. I killed her. And she said she was sorry. I release myself into the force to find Padmé.
   I can't find her. It's probably because I'm a Sith and she sided with the Jedi. But I walk to the border between light and dark and whisper,"I don't know if you can hear this, Padmé. I just want you to know that I'm sorry, this is all my fault, I killed you. I wish you were alive along with our future baby...but instead I'm here and you're not. Padmé...will you forgive me for everything I've done? I've killed you, I've done worse things, and I probably don't deserve this, but please forgive me...I'm so sorry..." I wait for an answer. I hear no answer so I fall back into consciousness.
   Then I cry.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not TCW, but it was just a great idea I had. So this is a short story, and for those who are new to these types of books, each chapter will be a different short story, unless the title says part one or part whatever.
I hope you like this, and have fun! I'll try to post soon.
