He couldn't save her. She died in his arms. It was their fault. THEY MADE HIM DO THIS! He could have saved her. He was so close. He was so angry, so furious. He lashed out, killing all in his way. The men, women, and children. They deserved to die. If it weren't for them, she would still be alive. She would've been happy but now she is dead. IT WAS THIER FAULT,... wasn't it?
With a strangeled gasp, Anakin woke up sweating. He rolled out of bed and fell to the floor with a thump. This was the second time this week he had these dreams. They just wouldn't end. With morbid humor Anakin thought that at least there was varity. Last night his dream was about his mother dieing and pleading for his help. This time though...he couldn't make heads or tails of his dream.
Every since his near death experience, he had more dreams. Different dreams, not just about his mother but about Padme too. After meeting Dooku had had even more dreams. But all his dreams were full of fear and anger. But there was also regret, a deep sense of sinking doom.
It worried him, Jedi don't dream. Jedi don't dream of hate or the darkside. Jedi don't have emotional outburst, Jedi have control! He was cursed, he just knew it.
Perhaps he should speak to someone about it, but who?
With a sigh, Anakin yanked himself off the floor and went to the fresher. After cleaning himself and dressing he wondered who to talk to.
He couldn't talk to Obi-Wan, it was unmanly to talk to another man about dreams. If he had a women master, it would be easier. But Guy Code doesn't let men talk to other men about feelings, just girls and machines.
After a bit of thinking he decided to talk to Yoda. Yoda was a renowned Seer and was a master to many Jedi. Perhaps he could be of help.
Anakin decided to go look for the old troll before the other inhabitants got up. His master was snoring in the next room, blissfully asleep. He was half tempted to wake him up but resisted. While it would be fun, he did not want more meditation or any menial task to preform. Obi-Wan has become more senile with old age, that and cranky.
Anakin searched for Yoda's force signature and found him in his quarters. Of course, Yoda would be in his room, he isn't an isominac like some people. Anakin wacked himself on the head for being so dumb, then he went off to go to Yoda.
The corriders were still dark and he encountered no one. All were asleep or meditating. When he finally neared Yoda's door, Anakin realized that it would be extremely rude to wake someone from their sleep.
After debating to himself, Anakin decided to wait for a later time and not risk getting his shins bruised by an angry half-asleep troll.
Carefully he tried to creep past Yoda's room and froze when he heard a low scratchy voice.
"Come in you may, Padawan Skywalker." Yoda was already awake and not happy by the sound of his voice.
Anakin entered and sat on the big circle cushion. Yoda was sitting on the other, the sunlight striking his face.
" Master, I do apologize for waking you so early." He really was sorry, lying to Yoda usually get yourself wacked in the knees. He wants to keep his knees, thank you very much.
"Hmm, problem you have?" Yoda's eyes were closed and he was perfectly still, unlike Anakin who was fidgeting.
" How did you know that?" Anakin said in surprise.
"Heard you muttering outside my door, woke me you did not. Speak." Yoda opened his eyes, eyeing the boy.
" I have been having dreams." There is was, his big secret out in the open.
" Dreams? Of what?" The long elfin like ear twitched.
" About my mother. She's in danger and I have to help her." It was true, his dreams were centered around his mom and she needs him. He in turn, still need her.
" Hm, you dream stem from your attachment to her. Dreams they could be, no more, no less. Pass in time they will." Attachment was a big taboo, he was probally one of the few who still remember their parents.
Anakin waited for more but heard no more. With a disguised sigh he got up and walked towards the door, perhaps Palpatine would know something. Palpatine was like a father to him, always there for him.
"Padawan." Anakin turned, a hopeful look in his tired eyes. " Think I do that dreams they are not. Visions they could be. Clouded of late my dreams are, the dark everywhere. Important matter we have, come, something to show you I do."
Anakin blinked perplexed as he followed the old master out of the room and into the corriders. They walked for a long time in silence before they entered the Library.
The Library was unhabited save for the Librarian, Master Jocasta Nu, who practically lived here and stalked the Librrary praying on unsuspecting Jedi.
"Come, come. Follow me, lost you will be if follow with your eyes." Yoda then disapeared in the vast Library shelves.
Kriffing no way! Oh man Anakin warily followed Yoda,
through his senses not his eyes. Finally after what seems like hours he found
Yoda holding a holocube in his taloned paw. Yoda seemed to be even smaller, his
eyes misty. He seemed lost in memories. " Listen you must, very
important this is." Yoda turned the cube on. A small blue human master
appeared. " Welcome young Jedi, my name is Master Sifo-Dyass. Please
state your question."
Yoda motioned for Anakin to speak.
" Um..Master Sifo-Dyass what do you know about visions?"
Anakin listened as Sifo-Dyass recounted an event that was similar to his own. Yoda deactivated the device and hid it in his robes.
"Told me of his visons he did. Listen I did not. Now you are like him. Find the device again?" Yoda's eyes held hope, maybe they could analze the device.
" No master. After I recovered I searched for it but it was gone." He did look for it. He searched the Archive from top to bottom.
"Hm, congruent your story is with that of Sifo-Dyass. Believe I do that visions you have." Yoda was slumped, eyes hooded, a great weight was weighing on his shoulders. But there was hope, the light at the end of the tunnel.
"So I can go to my mother?" Anakin's voice was elated. YES!YES!YES!
"Yes." Yoda was about to finish but a slight woshing sound stopped him. Anakin ran out of the library, stopped, came back, bowed, and dissapeared. Yoda stared, blinking his big eyes, as if trying to comprehend what was happening.
"In his dust I am in." Yoda laughed at his joke. Hm, how to break this to Mace...hm.The green troll chuckled and walked out. He felt elated, in joy. As if, some great hurdle was passed.
Meanwhile in the cockpit of a Jedi fighter, Anakin turned the machine on, punching in the hyperspace cooridinates.
I'm coming Mom, just wait.
-------------------
In the Chancellor's office, Palpatine sat there contemplating. He was having a great deal of diffuclty sending the vision to Anakin of his mother's death. It was important that Anakin witness the death and be so enraged that he falls into the darkside. If that fails he has other plans, he formed a bond during Anakin's little stunt. He could pull Anakin into the darkside little by little.
He can wait for decades, his plan was coming into fruitation.
Things were going nicely, and soon the Jedi would be destroyed.
