Fate of the Force
AU: What if fate had other plans for Anakin Skywalker. They say there are parallel universes, co-existing side by side, but never interacting, except for once. This is the story of Tris a girl from our universe, who is mysteriously thrust into the Star Wars universe. Tris was an ordinary girl, trying to make her way through university. Never once did she expect to wake up on Coruscant under the protection of the Jedi knights.
This is a story of what would have happened had Padme Amidala not returned to Coruscant during the Attack of the Clones. Instead Obi-Wan and Anakin receive another assignment protect Tris Sparrow, to find out who is trying to murder her, and why.
This story will follow the path of Attack of the Clones through Revenge of the Sith, will the presence of Tris divert Anakin's ultimate fate?

There was a strange feel to the air, heavy with the feeling of foreboding. I had this feeling that something was going to happen, something that was change my life forever, but I just could not make sense of it. It was enough to make me feel uneasy. It had started earlier that morning the winds picked up and the air grew just a little colder. Moreover, if it was a straight gentle breeze, it might have been okay, but this wind was brutal. It was a cold wind that stung, coming in every each way. What was even harder to understand is that there did not seem to be anyone else bothered by it. The people on the street acted almost as if there was no wind at all. But, I am getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you a little about myself:
My name is Tris Sparrow, I live in a sleepy town with a population of 3000. I might be just like you, except that since I was a little girl I knew I was a sensitive. I can feel when something is going to happen before it happens. I can tell when there are spirits around us. They are our guides. Do not get me wrong I am not a seer nor a clairvoyant. I can only sense these things. You could say that I am very aware of a higher power something controlling everything that we do. It was this ability that led me to study at the international school of clairvoyance. It was actually from one of my classes that I was heading back home from, however, it was not to be.
Before I could take another step, my body was engulfed in light and darkness all at the same time. I could no longer move, as I felt that there was a force that pulled me in every direction. The pressure was so great that I did the only thing that I could do, scream. Suddenly just when I thought that I could not take it anymore, the pressure disappeared leaving me in a vacuum of space. I tried looking around to see if I could make sense of my surroundings. That was only when sings got really strange. It was not just a vacuum of space. It was actually space. Yet, there was something different. I was always told that space was empty but I seemed to be able to see stars and planets all around me. It did not make sense and it made me feel a little uneasy.
"Do not fret child." Came a voice from the darkness.
"Who are you?"
"I am the force."
"The force? What is that?" I asked still skeptical.
"Search your feelings child, I am all around you. I am what lets you sense things before they happen. I am life, you already know me." I closed my eyes as the force spoke and it was true I could feel it. There very gently I could feel a stream of energy flowing through me like a gentle caress. "Do you understand now?" It asked.
"Yes, but what do you want with me?"
"You are needed." It was frustrating that the force only seemed to give snippets of information but the lack of complete sentences was unnerving.
"Where? Where am I needed?"
"Coruscant, the Capital of the galaxies. There is a Jedi there who will need your help. He is the chosen one, known as Anakin Skywalker." Why did that name seem so familiar, I just could not place it.
"What must I do to help him?" I asked.
"It is your Journey Tris, it is for you to discover how you must aid him. You must follow your feelings and trust your instincts." The force said, its voice ever fading. I panicked, how could it just leave me here with such vague instructions. I was scared I did not know what to do or if I could even do this on my own.
"Wait, please don't go. I don't know how to do this."
"Do not fret child you will know in your heart what to do. If you ever need me look deep inside of yourself and I will be there, always. Good luck Tris." With that, the voice was gone, leaving me in darkness. I knew that if I let my fears take control that I would likely have a nervous breakdown. Then I remembered its last words, about that it would always be there guiding me. Taking a deep breath, I centered myself, and reached deep inside. First, there was nothing, and then suddenly I could see it, a small flicker of a light. Dim at first but the more I focused on it the more intense it got. The force. I realized. Focusing all I could on it I could hear its voice. 'Trust your instincts.' And it was then that I knew that I could do this.
"Alright I am ready." Within an instant, I was once again engulfed in light, pulled through the rift of space itself, to the journey that lay ahead.
