Chapter 5

After a few moments of flying, Count Dooku appeared, riding a speeder in front of us. Two of the ships protecting him flew behind us and shot the ship making it jerk. A trooper fell out, accidentally pulling me and taking me with him. I hit the ground and heard Anakin call my name before I was unconscious.

"Sir!" I woke up to the soldier above me. As I regained consciousness, I felt the sand burning in my wounds. "Are you okay?" He offered me his hand. Grabbing it, he helped me up. "Yes. We have to get moving. Find a transport quick." I told him. "Yes sir." We turned and ran towards the command center. 

Reaching our destination, we told the pilot where to go as we boarded. The ship flew us towards the side of a mountain with a platform in the front. "What's your name?" I asked the soldier as we rode. "I'm Rex. What's your name?" 

"It's nice to meet you, Rex. I'm y/n y/l/n." Suddenly, pain hit me. Anakin.

The ship stopped at the platform and Rex and I ran into the mountain to see them. Rex and I stopped in our tracks and saw Obi Wan with burn marks in his shoulder and leg and Anakin laying on his legs, unconscious with his arm cut off. "Rex go-"

"We meet again, y/n." Count Dooku emerged from behind the ship in the hangar. "Go back outside." I advised to Rex and turned my focus to the man in front of me. "My pleasure, Count." I sneered as we ignited our lightsabers and walked in circles around each other.

Deciding to play the offense, I ran towards him and struck first. My lightsaber met his and switched between offense and defense. Even though he was old, he was fast.

"Y/n, you disappoint me. You've created such a reputation for yourself since the last time we met, I thought you'd be better." He spoke as our lightsabers were in a stalemate. Don't give into your hate.

"Tell me, how's Minx?"

"Minx we have to focus!" I laughed as I tried to study with my best friend. She laid back on the bed and spread her arms out. "What's there to study? The force surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds everything together." She imitated Master Yoda. I laughed and poked her, "We have to be ready tomorrow, what if something happens?" She propped herself up on the bed, "Nothing is gonna happen. It's just a patrol on Wobani." I rolled my eyes, "Whatever you say."

"You don't get to ask that!" I charged at him with my lightsaber and fought with my anger. I shouldn't be doing this. This isn't the way of the Jedi.

He laughed and questioned, "Yes, it's powerful isn't it?" Ignoring him, I continued to slash my saber at him and stop listening to my thoughts. We collided our sabers and pushed each other away. My lightsaber cut through a wire that operated the lights, turning them off, only being able to see our sabers.

Raising them above our heads, we crashed our sabers together. We fought quick and hard towards each other but before I could block a swing of his saber, he struck me on my leg and arm. Falling to the ground, he held up his hand and released electricity out of his fingers, hitting me. I screamed in pain as I held my fresh wounds. Then, my vision went black.

Slowly coming in and out of consciousness, I saw Dooku fighting Master Yoda. Yoda flipped around and Dooku was able to keep up. Then I went out again.

"Minx? Minx!" Minx was on the ground gasping for air. I looked towards Master Shaak Ti as she fought Dooku. As she held Dooku off, I ran to Minx. I fell to my knees and dropped my saber. I wrapped my arms around her and held her in my arms. "You're gonna be okay Minx. Everything is gonna be okay."

I jolted up and squinted my eyes due to the bright, white room. Machines beeped as I gasped for air. Seeing that no one was in the room, I put my hand on my heart trying to regulate my breathing. As I did, I felt my leg, arm, and back were bandaged under my gown.

A droid came into the room, "Good, you're awake." It checked my vitals. "Where am I? How long have I been out?" I asked. "You're in the medical bay-"

The door opened and Anakin stood at the doorway. He kept his eyes fixed on me as he told the droid, "Leave us." He told the droid. The droid obliged and left the room.

Anakin closed the door behind the droid and came to me. He sat on the side of the bed, facing me. He cupped his hand against my face and I rested into it. "I missed your touch."

Anakin placed his other hand on my arm. "I've missed you." I slightly winced at the coldness at the metal. "Did Dooku escape?" I held his new mechanical arm. Anakin closed his metal fingers around mine, "Yes." Laying my head back, I huffed, "He's a coward." Anakin's warm finger grazed over my cheek. "He fried me, Anakin." He let out a laugh, "He fried me too." 

We laughed, then smiled at one another. Anakin kept eye contact as he moved his real hand behind my head, leading me into a kiss, keeping our other hands still interlocked. Placing my hand on his cheek, I soaked into the kiss. At this moment, the teachings of forbidden attachments and the fear of getting caught was long gone. All I wanted was him. 

Our faces backed away from each other. "How long have I been out?" I asked, patting the space next to me. "About a month." He fixed himself in bed, wrapping his arm around me. I released my hand from his and played with his new hand.

"What have I missed?" I questioned. "The Clone Wars started." I looked up at him and sighed. "We're not soldiers." I placed my head on his shoulder, still touching his new hand. "I know, y/n." He said as he placed his head on mine.

I spent the day trying to catch up for a months worth of my studies. As I read about the different species of animals, there was a knock at the door. "Hello, Master." 

It's been a day since I woke up. Luckily, Anakin and I didn't get caught in my hospital bed. He left before the droid came back to check up on me. 

She rushed over to me, "I'm sorry y/n. I just came back from an inspection on Eadu." 

"Master, it's okay. I'm fine." I smiled at her and sat up. The droid beside me looked down at the chart in her hand. "How long do I have until I can get out of here?"

The droid looked down at the paper "Today, but you still need to keep your bandages on for another week." I carefully lifted myself out of bed and walked towards my clothes on the chair. Grabbing them, I walked into the bathroom and changed.

-

Master Shaak Ti and I walked down the hallway in the Jedi Temple. "I have good news, y/n." She spoke. "What, Master?"

"The council is considering to make you a Jedi Knight." Holding in my excitement, I was able to get it out through my smile, "It's an honor they're considering that. Can I do anything in my free time to practice?" I questioned. "Go to the training room and practice. Trust in the force to guide you." I grinned in anticipation, "Yes Master. I won't let you down."

She laughed, "Y/n, you never have and you never will."
