Changed [Day 17]

Anakin Skywalker had dreamed of this day for over two years and it was finally happening. His son was free. Two years ago Luke had been wrongfully committed for a crime he didn't do. But now Luke was free.

He waited for Luke to come out and couldn't stop himself before he embraced his son. Luke hugged him back but...something was different. But he couldn't put his finger on it. So he smiled and pulled back from the embrace and lead Luke to the car.

Several years later he would regret never looking into that feeling.

Anakin sat and watched the news as he waited for Luke to come out of the bathroom. They were going to have a movie night together, it would be nice to do something with his son. 

"Breaking news! Another body has been found and so far it points towards the group known as The Voiceless Ones. They've been ca-"

Anakin turned off the TV with a small shake of his head. That group had been terrorizing the city for a year and a half now. So far him and his other colleges at the police station hadn't been able to find much of anything.

Whoever these people were they knew how to clean up their tracks.

Luke sat down on the couch beside him and made him jump.

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright Luke I didn't see you coming," Anakin replied with a smile.

They ended up deciding to watch a horror movie since it was close to Halloween. By the end of it, Anakin felt like he was being watched. Something was wrong and he knew it.

"Luke get down somethings wr-"

A man jumped through a window and didn't hesitate to run at him. But due to the distraction, he didn't see the real enemy behind him. He felt a small prick against his neck, then felt extremely tired and drowsy.

The man in front of him stopped as he was gently lowered to the ground. Luke where was Luke? His son! His child! 

Anakin's eyes widened as he saw Luke bend down next to him, syringe in hand. Did he-? No, he wouldn't! He couldn't!

"I'm sorry father but I have no other choice. Just last week two people tried to kill you. Now I have to take matters into my own hands, to protect you. I won't lose you. I won't be weak again and lose you like I lost Leia."

Before he got the chance to reply Anakin's world went dark.

A/N: Not going to lie I kind of want to make a short fic based off of this... or fic with like 15 chapters or something. XD But! Padme died when the twins were young due to cancer, Leia was murdered...😅 But! Anakin is the sheriff and since Luke was freed from prison he's gotten kinda evil and stuff behind the scenes...😅 Hope you enjoyed!
