Owen almost spit out his blue milk.
"WHAT!"
"SHHHHH!"
Both me and Buru trying to quiet him down because of Leia sleeping.

"How... I thought she was with Bail..."
Owen looked confused.
"Well, without me knowing, she was captured by the Emperor and almost executed. I was lucky to save her but
the damage was already done.

She had to watch her guardians die right infront of her and couldn't do anything about it.

She's probably scard for life because of me."

I could only look down in shame.
"Well you saved her didn't you?"

I nodded.

"Mabey you can save others."

"Sorry but that is impossible, it's
too late for me.
The damage has already been done and I don't think I will ever be able to fix it."

"If that's so, then at least try."

Beru yawned.
"It's late, I'm going to bed."
"Okay, Darth Vader you will sleep in the guest room, is that alright?"

"Yes. I have one more question though."

Owen turned around.

"Was my wife ever here with
a child?"

There was a long pause.
"Yes, but she left not too long ago and left with him only giving us a letter and we have no idea where she is.

Still there is one more thing I'll say,
are you really Darth Vader? Or are you Anakin Skywalker because I know that Darth Vader would of abandoned Leia and left her in the desert since she isn't any value to the Empire and would of slowed you down,
but you didn't. And I'm sure Darth Vader kills anyone despite their age, So tell me, who are you?"

I looked at him in great rage.

"I would never EVER wanted to kill those younglings or any children for that matter but I had no choice-"

"No you did, you had a choice all along. You were only made to think that you had no choice but you did, you've always had and now look!
You defined the Emperor and saved someone who was going to be killed by him and though it is your daughter Darth Vader wouldn't have even cared not one bit.

So tell me, who are you really. "

I couldn't even bare to look at him.
A battle was in my head between
light and dark.

"I... Don't know...
I don't know... "

"Hi I don't know! I'm Owen! 
Is that really so? Or are you afraid of who you really are?"

I gave him another death look knowing that it wasn't the time to joke around.

"Alright then maybe you'll tell me later... I'll be off to bed then.
Just don't kill me in my sleep, okay? Goodnight then."

"Goodnight."

I stayed up for a little looking over Leia, seeing little hints of Padme.
I then started to get tired myself so I headed towards my room like a drunken man.

I got out of my jedi robes since they are really uncomfortable to sleep with and only had my trousers on.
As soon as my head hit the bed I fell into a deep sleep.

You turned her against me!" I Shouted "You have done that yourself."
"You will not take her from me!"
"Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind, until now you have 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 have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new Empire."
"Your new Empire?"
"Don't make me kill you."
"Anakin, My allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!"
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy."
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must."

I woke up panting of the nightmare I just had, only it did actually happen.

I'm so sorry Padme... I wished things were different.
I deserve to suffer.
For what I've done.

I didn't knew how but I got back to sleep again, but it wasn't for long...
