Chapter 6: some father/daughter bonding time for Leia and Anakin
The end Quote doesn't belong to me it belongs to Josh Whedon I am borrowing
it because I thought it would make a good Leia/Ani scene
Leia was suddenly aware that another presence was beside her. She looked around, looking for a friend, had someone come looking for her? Han? Luke? But the presence she saw was not the one she expected. Vader Leia shuddered, she didn't know why he was here, and she didn't much care, she would find her way out of this place, without his help. All around her mist rolled in a lazy pace, right in front of her was a rickety old bridge that hung precariously across a crater in the earth that spat fire and had sharp rocks. On the other side was Vader.no Leia reminded herself he wasn't Vader he was Anakin, she heard her brother's plaintive voice in her head, 'okay I'm a smart girl' Leia reasoned 'I guess I have to trust the man I hate to get home' Leia tilted her head and yelled at the sky "Great sense of Irony" she yelled. She didn't get an answer. Anakin spun in a slow circle, he didn't know where he was, one minute he was with Luke the next he was in this netherworld. His heart leapt as he saw Leia, she was separated from him by a large crater and a rickety bridge, hesitantly he stepped to the edge, offering his hand as he had done to Luke on Cloud City "Leia, you must trust me" Anakin scoffed at his own words, he asked for one thing that Leia wasn't ready to give, but Leia was complying, she took a step on the bridge, testing her weight, but she was so slight her weight barely moved the bridge, she took another step, she didn't look at Anakin, but at the next plank of wood, she was muttering under her breath "Of all the sithspawn tricks I've been put through this takes the cake, it really does" Anakin watched his daughters progress, wanting to help but not being able to move, he was amazed at his daughters skill, she was methodical yet agile, just like Padme Anakin thought. His heart leapt as the plank Leia was standing on plummeted to the ground and was splintered by the sharp jagged rocks below. Anakin gulped and reached for Leia a bit more insistently, Leia seemed to get the hint and began to hurry her pace, finally she reached the end. One more step to go, Leia paused, for the first time she looked at her father. Anakin had the feeling she was analysing him, for a minute father and daughter stared at each other without moving. Leia seemed to find something in him because she slowly took the step, folding her hand in her fathers.
Anakin was painfully aware that bright light shone in his eyes, he opened his eyes to find himself back in the medical center, he got up, seeing Leia to the same, at the same time father and daughter put their hands to their foreheads and said: "Ow" Luke wrapped his sister in a hug "Your awake" he exclaimed Leia nodded weakly, and Luke let her go, giving his father a handshake. Uncomfortable silence reigned then Leia said "I'm glad that you are alright, thank you for saving me, I appreciate it" her eyes narrowed in a truly Padme look " I can't beat you in a fight but Hurt Luke or Han or any of my friends and I will set you on fire" Then she got up and left the room. Anakin looked to his son "When did your sister become so unbelievably scary?"
