Traces In The Stars

Prolouge

Anakin looked down at his three newborn children and smiled. Padmè looked up at him, exhausted, but still smiling. She pointed to a baby girl and said "That's Leia". Anakin smiled. The blue lit room was a frenzy as droids and people alike rushed all over the place. The black walls were supported by a window that showed the depths of space. The gray floor was lit up with the surrounding blue light. However, the blue light shone on the only boy. Anakin's face showed a look of pure surprise. The other night he had a dream about this exact moment but his mother was there. "You will have children. The only boy's name will be Luke, and he will be the greatest Jedi this galaxy will have ever known". His mother had said while gesturing to his only masculine baby. He stared down at the child like he was a ghost. "Luke".. Anakin breathed. " So Luke he will be". Padmè said while holding the last unnamed baby. "Who should this be"? Padmè asked. Anakin gasped. A part of his dream had stated this exact moment. "This is Lilly. She will disappear one hour after birth. You must learn to cope with it, because it will be part of the Jedi twin prophecy". His mother had said gesturing to the unnamed baby. "That's L-L-Lilly". Anakin gasped. Padmè gazed at her husband. "Ani, are you ok"? She said. "No, no, everything's OK. She's beautiful". He breathed. " Luke, Leia, and Lilly". They said simultaneously. Anakin kissed Padmè's forehead. Then Anakin knew he had to tell her about the dream. "Padmè. I have something to tell you". He breathed. Padmé looked up at Anakin curiously. "I had a dream". Padmè looked up at him. " What was it about"? Then Anakin told every single detail from the dream all the while tearing up a little. Padmè looked up at him. "We aren't gonna let her leave us". Padmè said. Then she immediately started crying. Anakin took Padmè in his arms and ran his hands through her curly brown hair comfortingly. "I'll protect Lilly with my life". Anakin soothed Padmè. " It's a part of the prophecy. You can't stop it"! Padmè yelled whilst crying. Then his wife's body went limp in his arms and a stampede of doctors and droids headed to him and Padmè and he was slowly shoved away from her. A droid ran up to him. "Loss of adrenaline. I'm sorry sir" it beeped. Obi Wan stood in front of him. "Come", He beckoned hurriedly. Anakin hesitated to look back at Padmè in the throng of people. " Hurry"! He ordered. "Palpatine is here. I sensed his presence"! Anakin then whirled around to see Obi Wan knocked out on the ground and Palpatine was in an intense lightsaber duel with Mace Windu, the Jedi master. He then ran up to his friend. "Obi Wan! Can you here me? Say something"! He shouted whilst grabbing his shoulders and shaking Obi Wan's unmoving body. Obi Wan's eyes fluttered open a little. "Windu".. He moaned whilst making a small gesture to Mace. Then his eyes shut again. He looked over to Mace who was struggling to block the sith lightning with his lavender lightsaber. He got pushed to the corner and had dropped his lightsaber off the ledge. Just when Palpatine lifted his hands to blast him and end his life, Anakin dropped his lightsaber to the ground and he tackled Palpatine to the ground. He used the force to make his weapon come into his hand and he held it at Palpatine's neck, now activated. Palpatine laughed. "You can't defeat me! It's against the Jedi way to kill another". Palpatine whimpered sarcastically. Anakin put his ignited lightsaber down to the ground. "You're right. It is wrong", Anakin responded. Palpatine ran down the hallway laughing. Mace used the force to fetch his lightsaber from wherever it was. "Anakin. Thank you. But shouldn't you worry about Padmè"? Mace said. Anakin then heard a shrill scream. Padmè! He thought. He immediately ran to her. "Padmè"! He shouted, pushing aside all the doctors. "ANI" she shouted. Anakin found Padmè screaming with a syringe in her chest. "It hurts"! She screamed. " WHAT DID YOU PUT IN HER"! Anakin demanded. He reached for his lightsaber. "Liquid adrenaline, s-sir"! He responded. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE FORCE IS LIQUID ADRENALINE"! He commanded. "A new invention s-s-sir". The doctor answered. Then Padmè abruptly stopped screaming. She then started breathing very heavily. "I'm fine *huff* Ani. Just *huff* side *huff* effects *huff* ". She breathed. Luke started crying. Anakin held him in his hands and soothed him. "It's alright. Mommy's OK". He soothed. Padmè then grabbed Luke and whispered something into Luke's ear, then he stopped crying. Wow, he thought, this day escalated really fast. "Padmè", he asked, "Shouldn't we go home"? "No, not right now". Padmè responded. "Why? We don't even know what 'liquid adrenaline' is! You should see a doctor". Anakin responded. " No, Anakin. You go see a psychologist because my children need me"! Padmè cried. Anakin stood there not knowing what to say. Then a doctor walked up to them both. Before the doctor could say anything, Anakin blurted out. "Can we rent a starfighter"? The doctor looked at him, surprised. " well we don't, but-" he said but was cut off by Anakin nudging him, glaring at him like an angry dragon. "We'll, uh, see what we can do"... The doctor nervously chuckled. Then Anakin saw Padmè giving him a death glare. "We have to", he sighed. Suddenly 2 imperial officers walked up to them. "We need an assistant back at our imperial lab located on Endor", the 1st one stated. " We'll take the one you call 'Lilly' ", the 2nd one laughed. Padmè curled over Lilly protectively and took out her emerald saber. The argent glow of the handle reflected in the officers' eyes, making them seem more intimidating. "No! I won't let you"! She cried. The officers laughed and pushed her backwards and with a sickening crunch, her arm bone snapped. Anakin ignited his lightsaber and begun to threateningly follow the officers' every move. One of the officers engaged in a duel with Anakin. All he saw was the officer, and his sword. Everyone stopped and stood to witness the unlikely quarrel. Metal on light. Light on metal. His crystallite blue eyes burned with hate as he traced the officer's every move. Silver on blue. Blue on silver. Sparks flew as the officer tried to push back but instead got pulled farther into the world of Anakin. Bubbling lava. Padmè. Sand. A pod race. Obi wan. Suddenly Anakin snapped out of the trance due to a shooting pain in his arm. He turned to see a huge, bloody, scratch on his arm. Instead of screaming, however, all he did was burn. Burn with hate. With protectiveness. With anger. Burning, burning, burnt. He continued to fight the officer with white hot rage. " Ani, no! You're gonna hurt yourself! Get some medical help for your arm"! Padmè cried. Anakin looked back at Padmè, his eyes glowing and glistening with a pristine gold shade. Obi wan ran to him, now conscious. "Anakin! Snap out of it! Your gonna get killed"! He shouted. Anakin's eyes now burnt a bright red color. "No". And that was all he needed to say to them to convince them. Anakin fought even harder, his lightsaber smashing even harder against the steel blade. He fought until he felt like his human arm was only attached by strings. "NO! LILLY! Lilly"... Padmè cried. Anakin spun around to see the second officer carrying away Lilly while Padmè slowly dragged herself with her arms to the silhouette holding her child. Anakin suddenly felt something stir in him. It shocked him deeply. It burned deep inside him, tugging and nagging and twisting and burning. He couldn't shake it off. He suddenly realized what that feeling was. Love. Fatherly love. Love for Padmè. Most of all, family love. He harnessed that feeling and drove his sapphire colored saber deep into the first officer's skull. He dove to the second officer with his lightsaber ignited. The officer blocked every blow, which made each blow even more powerful. The last thing Anakin could remember was a stab in the stomach, ands the laughing of an enemy...
A/N
Woah, that prologue was really intense! 1,517 words! BTW,
BTW the photo is an oc I made named Shansi Audi Ciskei.

Liquid adrenaline. XD I know, please don't hate me for making Anakin lose! Since he lost, it's gonna make a really spicy but dark follow up story! If he won, it would be like one of those reality TV shows with the perfect family, and they're all smiling, and doing as they're told, and all that boring shitockey mushrooms?? So you guys should thank me. Since that prologue was intense, imagine how intense the other chapters will be...

Have a nice day in the star wars fandom!

May the force be with you, Ajax_The_Dark_ (or ajax the dork XD)
