Drown
Written by: Adventure-Seeking-Juliet
When: Listening to the song, Drown by Three Days Grace.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, the characters, or the song from which I got my inspiration.
A/N Yes I know, another Three Days Grace based Star Wars one-shot...it seems that Three Days Grace has become not only my favorite band, but my personal testament to my favorite thing in the world, movie wise. One-shot. During ROTS as Anakin chokes Padme what good is left in him thinks on what he's done...He is drowning. Not a song-fic, based off the song Drown by Three Days Grace.
________________________________________________________________________________________
He was drowning, falling deeper and deeper into a pit of evil from which he could not escape. He didn't understand...why did he feel so at ease, happy almost, as he choked his beloved?
Anakin could feel how powerful becoming Darth Vader had made him; he could feel the power in his veins waiting to be unleahsed. Vader could almost feel the light side of the Force cowering under his influence.
To Vader the deep, feeling of drowning felt so, right. Almost as though he were feeding off of the dark waters of hate, but not Anakin.
The tiny thread of the reckless Jedi Kight that was left was certainly not feeding off the hate, was certainly not happy with himself for harming his wife. Anakin was choking on the waters, he could not give in, for if he did it would all be done.
The entire life he'd led would be disinegrated...Anakin would not allow Vader to drown him, all the way at least.
Anakin seemed to see the future flash in his eyes, Padme giving birth. His heart ached to be with her! Vader was ruining his chance to see his children...He wasn't sure how, but he came above the crushing waters of hate long enough to make Vader to stop choking his love.
The Jedi were slowly dissapearing thanks to him. The chosen one, a killer. He could remember the feeling of somewhat belonging to the Jedi...he no longer felt it; all his favorite friends seemed to have vanished in thin air. Except for Obi-Wan, his brother, but not for long Vader would get to him before Anakin could defeat the waters that were drowning his soul in Palpatine's evil.
Anakin had had the world in the palm of his hand, he had cradled it...it was his job to save it one day, but instead he was locking the world up in a cage made of the new Emperor's vile ideals.
Anakin had had the world, but Vader had no one.
Anakin had promised himself several years ago after he had slaughtered the sand people that if he ever lost control again, if he needed someone to hold him down that he would change his direction and save himself before he collapsed into his anger.
It was hard to think as he began to fight Obi-Wan, his best friend, Anakin felt like he had fallen, how could he be doing this?
Infact, Ani felt strange thinking about how he had once been a hero, had everything...now he'd lost it all.
As Anakin drowned in the dark waters of an endless evil, Vader took over. Anakin had drowned, but not forever.
A/N A bit of a drabble. A LOT of a drabble, but please review! Happy Christmas!
