A/N: Just had a thought that came to me while watching Star Wars. What are Vader's thoughts when Luke is getting tortured by the Force lightning from the Emperor to his final breath?
What If It Had Been You?
I am standing here watching our son get tortured and I keep on wondering what if it was you. You getting hurt and pleading me to help you. If it was you, sweet Padme, I would be ripping that bastard to shreds. I have done enough to our children. I have tortured them to tell the truth about the rebel base, I have cut off their hands, what's next? If it was you I would be fighting for you and making sure no other harm would come to you. I do admit that I regret doing all of those terrible things to you. Our children are the only connection I have left of you. I killed you so I only think it is fair if I kill myself.
The pain of the lightning feels great compared to watching our son going through that. I finally feel like the dark side has fallen as the light side did many years ago. I am truly Anakin Skywalker again, ready to die and be in the afterlife with the most beautiful women in the entire galaxy. I am ready for the Empire to fall and for everyone to be happy that Darth Vader is dead, I know I sure am. The only thing I want for our children is to be happy and safe.
I can feel my arms being pulled. Luke is trying to get me to safety. I want Luke to be able to see my true self and face; I want to be rid of this mask forever. As he takes it off I am dying faster. I just wish I knew I had children before I tried to harm them. Now all I want is to be with you so I can finally love someone as much as Luke loves me. I am taking my last breath and feeling Luke's sadness; but what he doesn't is that I am only dead as Darth Vader; Anakin Skywalker is on his way.
A/N: That was short but I had an awesome idea so I just had to write it. Thank You and please R&R!
