Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to Movie God George Lucas and I didn't make any money so please don't sue me cause I'm a college student.
A/N God I haven't written in this fandom in so long, but I was listening to my copy of the Return of the Jedi the radio show and this little bunny bit me hard. This is just what Luke may have been thinking after he cut of Darth Vader's hand.
Darkness and Light
By Jania
What have I done? Palpatine is laughing at my victory but I feel nothing but pain. How could it have come to this, how could I have let it? The questions fill my head as more laugher comes from behind me. "Strike him down with all of your hate and take your father's place at my side" He says consumed with power. My father I look at him lying on the floor. He is a good man I know it, but all my attempts to bring him back to the light have failed. Does that mean I have failed everyone I care for. Leia, Han I can't let them down. But I feel like I have done all I can. Ben where are you when I need you! NO! I must face my destiny alone. "Why don't you strike Luke?" My father begs. I can't this is the way, but can I do. It comes to me like a flash of lighting. My death is my destiny, so I face Vader's former master. "No I won't turn, I am a Jedi like my father before," I say. Goodbye my dear sister and Han my good friend. I hope you will understand one day why I did this. I toss away my lightsaber and he grows angry. "So be it Jedi, if you will not be turned then you will die." I take a deep breath, but it is no good the pain is too much. "Father!" I scream, but I know it is for no good. It feels like my body is being torn apart piece by piece. "Young fool only now at the end do you understand," the emperor laughs as he continues to rip my body apart. "Father!" Will this pain never end? My mind fades in and out when I realize that the pain is gone. I raise my head to see my father throwing the emperor down the core shaft. With the last of his strength he crawls to my side. We lie there father and son your destinies complete at last.
