Anakin Skywalker's POV

I stayed silent as familiar voices echoed through my thoughts.

'Anakin, please, don't die...' Ahsoka's piercing voice sobbed. It felt as if I were being stabbed multiple times in the heart as I heard her heartbroken voice.

I wanted to reassure her that everything was fine, that I'm fine. But I couldn't force any loving or reassuring words out of my pale, chapped lips to do so.

Ahsoka wept, holding my hand. She kept sobbing out my name, saying to not leave her.

It hurt so much that I felt wetness on my cheeks. I couldn't do anything but my emotions still kept working which forced those warm tears out of my closed eyes. If I couldn't talk to her then I would do it via bond.

I took a deep breath, trying to clutch her hand tighter.

Suddenly, I heard the song that I wanted to sing to her. Perfect... Someone must've read my thoughts. I smiled.

'A hundred days have made me older,

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face.

A thousand lies have made me colder.

And I don't think I can look at this the same.

But all the miles that separate,

Disappear now when I dream of your face.

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still on my lonely mind.

I think about you, baby.

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight it's only you and me.

Yeah...

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say 'hello,'

I've heard this life is overrated,

But I hope that it gets better as we go.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still on my lonely mind.

I think about you, baby.

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me.

Everything that I know, and anywhere I go,

It gets hard but I won't take away my love.

And when the last one falls,

When it's all said and done,

And it gets hard but it won't take away my love.

Whoa...

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still on my lonely mind.

I think about you, baby.

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you, baby.

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me.

Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh... '

'Ani?' she said through her tears.

I chuckled. 'Who else?'

She laughed with me. 'Shut up,'

Ahsoka Skywalker's POV

I twisted and turned as a nightmare consumed my mind.

A woman figure in armor with two glowing crimson blades stood before me.

I saw myself rise up slowly, weakly as I held my emerald lightsaber tightly in my hand.

Though Satine wasn't there, I could hear her voice.

'Sometimes heroes fall, despite their strength.'

Suddenly, I saw myself in another scene, hiding behind a table before an explosive sent me and the furniture flying across the room.

I lurched up, panting as tears trickled down my hot sweaty cheeks.

Anakin snuggled closer to the sheets, mumbling.

I sighed, wiping the tears away quickly, before brushing his bangs away from his eyes.

I couldn't put him through anymore pain...
