The floor somehow felt cold at this moment. It's a strange coldness since this planet of Tattoine is nothing but desert. It's cold enough to make me feel uncomfortable, and want to get off it, but I couldn't.
I peered down to my lap, where Anakin's head lay gently upon it. I softly stroked his hair, and the side of his face. His eyes straight ahead, staring ahead, yet seeing nothing at all. His face an empty sign, with a single tear trying to escape his eyes. My heart started to ache and beat faster as I thought about what he told me...

"It's all Obi-Wan's fault. He's jealous! He knows I'm already more powerful then he is. He's holding me back!" Anakin shouted and threw his tool across the room. I stood there, shocked, unsure of what to say. His back was turned to me, I could tell something else was wrong, there's something else going on in his head other then his mother and Obi-Wan.
"Ani, what's wrong?" I asked him. Anakin was silent for a moment.
"I-I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead." He said. My heart wrenched and my body went cold and stiff at his words. He looked up at me. I had to force myself no to back away, away from the look in his eyes, the hatred in them. "Every single one of them." He continued, tears building in his eyes. He slowly started to walk towards me. " And no the just men, but the women and the children too." He stood in front of me. " They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I hate them!" He stared from a moment before his hatred mask crumbled and he fell to the floor in sobs.
I didn't even think, ii just went to him, and cradled him as he cried
Back to present
Women and children. The people in the universe that only the most black hearted of all would brutally slaughter. But Anakin wasn't like them. Anakin wasn't a cold-hearted murderer... Was he?
Of course not. I told myself. But I'm still afraid. Afraid of what he did, afraid of what he could do, afraid of that look in his eyes of so much pain and hatred. I know if he were anyone else I'd leave him, tell the Jedi council. But I wont. Because, I know the real Anakin, I know he's not like that. But if he was.. I don't know if I'd be able to leave him still. I don't know if I'd be able to stop loving him... Enough to leave him. Because I love him too much now...to leave.
