This is a companion piece to my first fic that got reviews: I Dare You. It's from Vader's point of view.

Your words cut to what's left of my heart.
You have no idea how badly I have wished that things were different.
However there is an old saying: you've made your bed, now sleep in it. I started when I slaughtered that entire village of Tusken Raiders.
It felt good to feel their fear.
Than when I made that fateful decision and cut off Master Windu's hand so he couldn't strike down Darth Sidious I knew that I had made a mistake when Sidious used Force lighting to hurl the Jedi Master out into the Coruscanti might.
It was too late to go back.
I still remember the screams of the younger ones in the Jedi Temple when they realized that I hadn't come to save them but kill them. I remember the looked betrayal on the faces of the older ones that could understand what was happening.
I murdered the entire Separatist Council in cold blood. They begged for mercy but I showed them none.
I attacked your mother with the Force while she was carrying you and for years believed that I killed her and you that horrible day.
I wish deeply that I could come back but I am a damned soul.
I wish I could but I can't.
