Chapter 74

I woke up from my sleep and looked around. Anakin nor my children weren't anywhere. "Anakin?" I called out, starting to worry. "Anakin?" I called out again, a little louder.

He stepped through the doorway that lead to another room. "I'm right here." He came up next to me and smiled, "Our children are doing great." I was confused, then I remembered.

I pledge myself to you.

"That's amazing." I fake smiled. I knew what I've done. "How long was I asleep?" I asked. "A few hours." He replied. "Has anyone seen? And where's Caleb?"

"I sent him to tell the council." He said. "You did what?" I yelled. "Y/n, it's fine. We will be fine." He tried to comfort me, but I rejected. "Anakin, we will be expelled from the Jedi order! What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking about us. I can't go another day living like this. Our children almost died, y/n!" Anakin defended himself. "That won't happen. You nor them will die. I made sure of it." I told him.

"What do you mean?" He asked. "I've figured out how to save you when the Jedi wouldn't. And I did, so far. When our children were dying, I pledged myself." I grinned, proud of my accomplishment. Anakin stepped back, "Pledged yourself to who?"

"I need you. Hurry."

"No time. You'll find out soon enough." I threw my legs over the bed and stood up, aching. "What are you doing?" He asked, coming to help me stand. "I want to see our children." I said.

He held and led me into the room he came out of. There I saw Luke and Leia sleeping peacefully in their beds. They were wrapped in their own blankets.

Going closer to them, I held my finger to Luke's cheek. Then, to Leia's. "They're beautiful." I smiled at Anakin, who was next to me. "I guess it's time we go to Naboo?" He asked.

"I have to do something first. I'll be back." I told him. "Y/n, you can't leave. You just gave birth and you're leaving our children." Anakin said. "I will be right back."

Our lips connected and I smiled, "I promise."

Going as fast as I could, I pushed myself to the Chancellors office. For giving birth hours before, I was surprised with what I could handle. My power.

Running into his office, I saw Master Windu holding his purple saber to my defenseless friend, laying against the shattered window. This is when I truly decide.

"Y/n, help! He's going to kill me." Palpatine pleaded. "You are a traitor to the Republic!" Mace Windu exclaimed over the wind. "You've seen what I can do. Only with me will you be able to achieve power!" Palpatine said.

I was stuck between decisions. If I join him, I won't be neglected. I wouldn't be untrusted. I wouldn't be alone. If I stay with the Jedi, I would keep being treated like scrap. They would expel Anakin and I for our love and he would die. I would betray all I have trained for, but for the better.

"I'm ending this once and for all!" Mace yelled. "You can't. He must stand trial." I told him. "He has control of the Senate and the Courts. He's too dangerous to be kept alive!" His saber lifted above, about to slash my friend. "Don't kill me, please. I'm too weak." He begged.

"I need him!" I exclaimed. His arm began swinging down, when I pulled out my saber and ignited it. Cutting through his arm, he screamed in pain.

Palpatine smiled. "Power!" He yelled as thousands bolts of electricity pulsated through his fingers and struck Mace Windu, making him scream. I stepped back and watched. "Unlimited power!" It was him in my visions.

A few seconds later, he was thrown out the window. Palpatine sighed in relief. "What have I done?" I cried, falling to my knees. I've never done something as cruel as that.

Palpatine stood up and stopped ahead of me, his face deformed. "You have done well, my apprentice. We will bring peace and order to the galaxy."

"I will do whatever you ask. Just help me save my family's lives." I begged. "Only one has achieved cheating death. Together we will figure out this mystery." His eyes yellow and face deformed, looking down upon me.

His voice growled, "The force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be know as.. Darth.. Kreia."

"Thank you, Master." I kept my eyes locked on him, determined to save my family. Determined to not be used. Determined to be worth something.

"Rise." He ordered. Doing so, I stayed in the same place as he walked to his desk. As he put on his dark robe, he stated, "Because the Jedi did not trust you, I believe you are the only Jedi with no knowledge of this plot. When the Jedi find out what happened here, they will kill us, along with the Senators."

He lifted the hood over his head, exposing his yellow eyes more. "I agree. The Council's next move will be against the Senate." I elaborated.

"Ever single Jedi, except for your husband, is now an enemy of the Republic." He told me. "I understand."

"We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it'd be a civil war without an end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done, Lady Kreia. Do not hesitate and show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the dark side to save your family."

"What about the other Jedi spread across the galaxy? What will happen to them?" I questioned. "Do not worry about them. We will soon have.. peace." He talked slow and soft, yet his voice was harsh.

"After you have dealt with the Jedi, go to the Mustafar system. There you will meet with the Separatist leaders. Destroy them all."

"It will be done, my Master."

Walking up the steps, my clone troopers and I marched into the Jedi Temple. My hood was draped over my head, somewhat covering my face. A Jedi came up to me and asked, "What is this?" I kept quiet, then Bodhi shot her in the chest.

The Jedi around us were shocked, then prepared themselves. My troops behind me shot their blasters, making the lighting in the Temple change to blue and red.

I ignited both ends of my saber and progressed through the Temple. A Jedi ran up to me and clashed his saber with mine. Swiftly, I kicked his leg out from underneath him and stabbed him.

Walking through the Temple, Jedi were dropping like flies while others put up a fight and eventually lost. A group of clones stayed behind me while others in my unit spread out. Bodhi stayed at my side the whole time.

Once I made it to the room, I told my troops, "Leave me." They nodded and ran off. Opening the door, a youngling stepped out from behind a chair. "Master y/l/n, there are too many of them. What are we going to do?" The child asked.

Putting down my saber, I knelt down, "Either you have to run or you join me. I don't care which you pick, but if you run you cannot turn around. No matter what you hear or see. Am I understood?"

The rest of the children stepped out and nodded. "Who wants to join me?" I asked. Only a few children came towards me, while the rest stayed where they were.

"Very well. I'll lead them away while you guys run to the South exit. There aren't any troopers there yet. Run as fast as you can. Do you understand me?" I asked a bit too harsh, but I couldn't help it. My motherly instincts came into play.

"Yes, Master." They said. "Follow me." I told the kids around me. Picking up my saber, I stood up and left the room with the group of younglings while the others ran in the different direction.

Bodhi came up to me and I felt his confusion. "Make sure these children get to the Chancellor safely." I told him before leaving them to do something I dreaded.

I went to go face Master Shaak Ti.
