Wow, a quick update! ENJOY!

Anakin stormed through the halls of the Emperor' palace, headed straight for the throne room. Strangely he did not find any guards in front of the throne room, but that did not stop him.

When Anakin pushed the doors open and walked in, he found the emperor waiting for him, standing right in the middle of the floor.

Anakin stormed up to him and asked, "What did you do?"

Sideous smiled. "Why, what do you mean, my apprentice?"

"You know exactly what I mean. I know that you told Padme something about me using her and then you sent that prostitute to my apartment to seduce me."

"Ah, yes, I suppose I did do all that. What do you plan to do about it?"

Anakin glared at Sideous. "I am getting tired of you controlling everything I do and I am especially sick of you messing with what Padme and I have now," Anakin drew his lightsaber, "and I am tired of you messing with me."

Sideous smirked at Anakin. "I see that you are going through a rebellious stage, Lord Vader. It is expected, but do you know what I do to rebellious apprentices?"

Anakin stared in horror as Sideous drew out his hands and sent a wave of force lighting right at Anakin.

Anakin was too slow in trying to block it and the last thing he saw was Sideous laughing face.

Anakin slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

He was in some kind of white room. He was laying on a bed, but when Anakin tried to sit up he grimaced as pain shot through his abdomen.

Anakin reached down and felt bandages covering his chest from waist all the way up to his arms. As he looked around, he discovered that he was in a med center room, with his arms hooked up to all kinds of machines to monitor his vital signs.

Anakin tried to remember how he could have gotten here, but everything was taking a long time to clear in his head. The last thing he remembered seeing what Sideous' face...Anakin shot up in bed, but clutched his side in pain.

He remembered how he had gotten here. He had thought that he was strong enough to fight a Sith Lord, who had enough power with force lighting not to even need a lightsaber.

Anakin also remembered why he had acted so stupidly. It was because of Padme and how Sideous had hurt her. Now, not only was Padme still not talking to him, but now he was severely injured!

His room door opened and a nurse walked in. She smiled when she saw that he was awake.

"Good morning, Lord Vader, I am glad to see that you are awake."

"How long have I been out?"

"Oh, only for a day. We thought that you would be out longer, but apparently you pulled through. You should not try to sit up yet, your wounds are still pretty fresh."

Anakin nodded as he eased himself back down.

The nurse continued talking as she checked his vitals. "You have suffered from deep wounds into your upper and lower abdomen area, but thankfully none of your organs were hit. You will have to stay here for about a week until we can make certain that you can go home. Until then, you should just rest and let your body heal itself."

Anakin nodded and the nurse gave him one last smiled before she left.

Just great, now he had to spend a week in the med center. He hated being here, everyone was so sick and miserable that it made him sick and miserable too. But at least he would have time to figure out what he was going to do for Padme to convince her that he had not been cheating on her, and he would at least not have to face Sideous for a little bit. Knowing him, he would just laugh at Anakin's failed attempt to conquer his master and just make Anakin work harder as additional punishment.

Anakin stared at the ceiling as he cantillated his life, then his door opened again and a doctor came in.

"Hello, Lord Vader, my name is Doctor Joh, I was the one who bandaged you up." The doctor smiled at Anakin, but Anakin just nodded at him, suddenly not feeling like he could talk.

Doctor Joh continued. "I hope that you are feeling well. I hear that your nurse has updated you on everything that you will need to do to get well, but I just came to give your vitals a quick check to make sure that they are where they should be."

As Doctor Joh looked over the machines, Anakin suddenly felt his eyes beginning to close, as if on their own, and his mind begin to leave the world of the awake and go into the world of dreams.

The last thing Anakin heard was Doctor Joh shouting "Quickly, get the resuscitator, his heart is starting to go!"
