hellooo! This is my first story. Yeah it's short. But the whole viewpoint of this is different. For starters, I can't reveal too much. This is AU, Vader has the twins, the emperor is suspicion Vader's act of attitude, a change in him to be more specific. So the emperor takes this matter into his own hands. He sets spies to spy on Vader. One of the spies turns out to be a secret rebel spy, whom we know from the clone wars. The emperor puts the twins life's into jeopardy. More will be reveal and will make more sense XD. I'll also reveal how the twins got to Vader in later chapters

Nothing could matter the most than the sleeping angelic forms laying there peacefully next to him. His children. So young and innocent. Oh, how he longed to spend more time with them. But it's useless. This is not some kind of fantasy. Expecting everything to be perfect.

Not at all. The real world was a trashy, unfair place. People standing up for others, when they can't. It was always a place of killing, pain, suffering, sorrow, grief, and very little happiness.

Happiness... is not a common word for a sith. Especially for the emperor and his pupil. Darth Vader is a sith lord, a monster. A cold blooded killer. A Menacing machine. He found some form of happiness, of fulfillment through taking the lives of innocent beings as the Emperor saw fit. His only targets are ambitious planetary governors, greedy crime lords, disloyal officers. Never feeling sorry for them. Emotions are never part of the job. Vader had sworn to do the emperor's bidding. Apart from that, he was a father.

It's been difficult in concentrating whenever he's off missions. Out in the outer rims, hunting for rebels. While his mind is off somewhere. Worrying about his children being safe. Attempting to avoid his children penetrating gazes whenever he's summoned to a mission. Fear in the emperor raising suspicions.

Vader ruffled his son's sandy brown hair. "Over my dead corpse will he lay a hand on you and Leia." He spoke quietly. "The emperor won't suspect a thing, as long as I live."

Vader's mechanic breathing filled the room. He stood there watching his children sleep. His heart grew warm whenever he was with them.

He was feeling dizzy when he entered his pod, and was glad to get rid of the mask and helmet. Occasionally, he felt a strange pressure in his skull and being free of it was the only thing that could relieve it. He closed his eyes for a few breif moments and then spoke in his true voice.

"One day.. I will be able to do many things as I did in the past, yet they still come.. and haunt me." He open his bright blue eyes, with a glint of sorrow showing. "But that's only a matter of time."

He found himself at the campfire at Utapau, with a familiar bearded face.

"I'll contact Ahsoka, maybe she can-

"Anakin."

Sighing." Forget about it... she's gone"

"Anakin, do you want to talk about it?"

"Where's there to talk about?!" Looking at the shorter man.

"Nothing I suppose." Touching his beard thoughfully. Maybe he shouldn't had asked. "Perhaps we shoud set a camp, sound like a plan?" Looking back to Anakin. Feeling guilty.

"Whatever you say master" He replied automatically.

They both walked in silence. None of them spoke. Anakin was setting the camp thoughtfully in silence as the other man sat there watching his padawan carefully.

He finally spoke. "Anakin, dwelling on Ahsoka's decision won't bring her back."

" I MISS her okay! Is that what you wanted me to say?" quickly snapping at his master. Sighing, he replied. "I still don't understand, how she could of left the order...how she could have left me."

"It was a surprise decision to all of us." Sounding surprise as well.

" It was wrong, she's a jedi, she belongs with us!" His voice rose agrinly. "She's one of us."

"She made the decision Anakin."

"W-WHAT choice did we give her!" Raising his voice.

"The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty, the council turn there back on her." Anakin sighed.

" I will grant you mistakes were made." Even he coudn't believe the way the council reacted."But she chose to leave, out of the jedi ways not letting emotions cloud your better judgement. And that's precisely what Ahsoka did. Even in her most critical moment.

Ankakin stood there in silence.

"Why don't you get some rest?" Breaking the silence between his apprentince.

"I'm not tired. You can rest master. I'll keep first watch."

"I will accept your kind offer." As he layed down. "You can't take responsibily for Ahsoka's decision, Anakin.

"How will you feel if I turn to a major disappointment?"

"It's not the same." His master answered.

" It's precisely the same you took to me under your wing and pratically raised me. I'm your padawan just like Ahsoka was mine. How well will you sleep knowing I failed you?"

" Not very well I imagine. Luckily that is't true and never will be.

If only Obi-Wan knew...

Vader awoke with a start. Why is this happening to me? The past is in the past. Why keep dwelling on them? His arms stretched above his head. He touched his face, growing uneasy by the dream. He has to find a way to make these dreams leave. Maybe meditating could help, that's always worked. His flesh fingers went to the few hairs growing into his head and leisurely sat up. His eyes widened and realized that he had slept more than intended. It only took him a few moments for him to adjust back his mask and helmet.

As he got out of the pod he heard footsteps in the hallway.

" My lord." Turning, he found himself staring at a young officer.

The young man straightened up. "I was on my way to inform you that your children had been sent to their daily classes. Therefore, the emperor has summoned your presence right this instance, sir."

"Very well, I'll be on my way." Vader turn his back and made his way to the emperor's room. His long cape bellowing dramatically as he walked. The only thing audible was his mechanical breathing and his footsteps.
