Protect You [Day 9 ALT 14]

Obi-Wan Kenobi blocked shot after shot back into the droids attacking them. This had been a very hard-fought battle and it looked like the Republic would win it too. But when him and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker strayed from their clones Anakin got shot.

Obi-Wan rushed over to Anakin, destroying droids as he ran over to him. He stepped in front of him to shield his brother and before he knew it the droids laid on the ground and both of them were alone. He didn't think they strayed that far but they must have.

The Jedi Master disignited his saber and bent down beside Anakin to see where he had been shot. It was in the leg and it was bleeding quite a lot.

"It's no-"

"Anakin don't you dare say it's not that bad."

The chosen one looked down but said nothing else surprisingly.

Obi-Wan ripped some of his robe and tied it around Anakin's injury. They needed to get somewhere safe fast, then get a hold of Rex or Cody. He looked down at Anakin with a frown. It looked like he would have to carry him.

"Obi-Wan don't you dare carry me," Anakin said.

"Well I'm afraid that's the only option."

"You could just help me get there."

"When you can't walk since you were shot in the leg?"

Without another word, Obi-Wan picked up the man and used the force to give him the strength to carry his friend.

"Obi-Wan!" Anakin shouted in protest.

Obi-Wan only ignored him and kept walking further until he spotted a cave they could stay in until the clones found them. He walked inside and gently set Anakin down then reached for the comlink on his belt.

"This is General Obi-Wan Kenobi. Can anyone hear me? This is General Obi-Wan Ken-"

"General! We hear you." The voice of his clone commander answered.

Obi-Wan let out a small sigh of relief. "General Skywalker has been injured and requires medical attention. We're in a cave south of where the battle is."

"Was sir, the droids retreated. Rex, Kix, Waxer, and Boil will be on the way, sir." Cody replied.

"Good, I will make sure Anakin lives until you arrive."

Obi-Wan clipped the comm back onto his belt then bent down beside Anakin. He looked pale and was still bleeding, just not as bad as before.

"You'll survive Anakin, I'm sure of it."

"I'm sure I will. No droid can kill me." Anakin replied with a small smile.

So they sat there and waited. Once he heard the sound of a gunship he motioned for Anakin to stay put as he walked outside of the cave. He smiled once he saw the gunship coming towards them. Good Anakin would live, he had to. Not because he was the chosen one, because he was like his brother.

And to lose him-

It was best not to think about it.

With the help of Rex and Kix, they brought Anakin on board the gunship and flew off to get Anakin some medical attention. He could only imagine how worried Ahsoka would be. But she wasn't here. Not anymore.

A/N: Obi-Wan angst is always...sad. 😅 Poor guy never gets a kriffing break. 😅 Well, I hope you enjoyed!
