Nightmares

It's Back

Anakin had returned to Padmé's apartment. Obi Wan had ordered him to take a leave of absence. He was happy to see Padmé, but he knew she was worried about why he's here. She knew about the headache, and the blackout. Anakin was hoping she wouldn't get to worked up about it.

"ANAKIN!!" she cried. she ran into his arms and hugged him as tightly as possible. "I heard about what happened." Padmé said frantically. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?" "Padmé, I'm FINE." Anakin said. "You promise." "Yes." "Ok."

"Padmé, there's something I have to tell you." "What?" "Ahsoka and Obi Wan know." "Know what?" "They know about us."

"How did they find out?" "I told them." "You WHAT?" "I had to Padmé. Please, try to understand." "Alright." After that, they kissed.

**************************************Later That Night*****************************************

Anakin was restless. The nightmare was back, but different. This time was much worse.

"ANAKIN! HELP ME! PLEASE!" "MASTER WHERE ARE YOU? I NEED YOU!" "YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN!" Everyone Anakin cared about yelled at him from all different directions. He was completly swallowed by darkness. Suddenly the disturbing voice spoke. "Everyone you love will die." Ahsoka, Obi Wan, and Padmé all screamed in unison. "Why didn't you save them?" the dark voice asked. They all screamed again. Anakin couldn't move. The dark voice sounded different this time. It was more familiar. Almost like......like.......

Anakin woke up, panting. He looked to his side and saw Padmé sleeping. She looked so peaceful. He rolled over and pulled her body against his. She rolled over and wrapped her arms around him. "Good morning." she whispered into his chest." "It's still night time." "Then why did you wake me up." she whined. Anakin couldn't help the small smile that crept unto his face. It soon disappered though.

"It happened again." "What?" "The nightmare, it happened again." "Ani." Padmé whispered. She held him close, comforting him. "We should call Obi Wan." Anakin nodded. Anakin got up and was met with a sudden chill. Something wasn't right. Anakin used the force to grab his lightsaber. "Ani, what's going on?" "Stay here." "Anakin, what's happening?"

"We're not alone."
