"Nice to have finally gotten to see the full festival." Ahsoka marveled, snuggled up into Anakin's side her eyes seeming entranced in the holopad.

"It is pretty nice." Anakin agreed, setting it next to him on the bed they were using for the night

"Are you doing okay with Master Kenobi being back?"

Anakin thought the question over, he felt frustrated that Council didn't trust him enough to be honest of the plan from the beginning, having Count Dooku essentially gain an upper hand and escape from their battle once again.

"It's better he's here than gone right?" Anakin decided to be blunt, seeming more interested in teasing Ahsoka with kisses along her neck

"Senator Amidala and I had a pretty interesting conversation.." Ahsoka attempting to keep talking, her thoughts became clouded as Anakin continued to tease

"Hm?"

"We talked about you."

His kisses ended just inches from her lips "Oh?"

"She thinks you kind of tend to throw yourself in danger. She worries you aren't thinking sometimes.'

He scoffed "Sometimes as a Jedi you have the option to either take a step back or have the will to jump."

Ahsoka taking the opportunity herself, pinning Anakin down with a smirk "I think it's time I lead."

Anakin let his hands wander, looking up at her affirming his position as their lips met

"You have to consider your responsibilities too."

"Duty comes first especially in war time." those beautiful eyes again

"Lux is my friend." she had become so defensive

He kept running, voices seeming louder

"I think Skywalker should be investigated. Who knows if his senses aren't clouded enough to attempt similar actions in the future."

"I love you." he wouldn't lose her too

"It is not love. It is a prison."

"But I have a wife, she's everything to me." he was firm in that thought Padme seeming to hold onto him tighter than normal

"She's not your destiny."

"But I love her." the hug felt like forever Anakin was just grateful she was alive.

The ground seeming to crumble underneath him now, letting him fall as the voices seemed to get louder

"I understand my responsibilities" his own voice loud in his ears

Hitting the steps, he pushed himself up to his feet air heavy with smoke as the Temple burned

"No.." he dashed in, the walls licked with flames as bodies collected at his feet

Familiar faces, all slain as a sinister presence cackled triumphant

Master Yoda, positioned at the center of the chaos "Failed them." his tone was cold as he seemed to evaporate into dust

Blaster fire almost deafening, echoed throughout

Attempting to find the source of the noise, he tripped over something

A helmet, black in color taking on the look of a skull crowned with a circular interface slotted with silver plated under the nose guard slots for breathing?

Catching his reflection in the helmet, his eyes a bright terrifying yellow color as he tossed it away

He kept forward, unsure what he would find

A cloaked individual, ghostly white hand luring him forward like a puppet master

He resisted, finding his body pained as he was pushed closer against his will, legs feeling as if someone had lit a fire to them, letting him burn away

Crying out in pain before the figure, he felt powerless as the flames continued to spread, enveloping him in as he fell and succumbed to it, the cackle sounding more taunting in his final moments.

Anakin had sprung out of bed, rushing to the refresher checking his legs in a panic, no visible wounds or burns

He took a breath, double checking his reflection, same blue eyes staring back at him

Running water into his hands, letting it run down his face as he collected his thoughts

"What was that?"

He probably had stayed in the refresher too long, a hesitant knock "Anakin?" Ahsoka's voice concerned for him "Are you okay? You rushed off like you were on fire."

"I may as well have been." he thought, terrified of how real that had felt "I'm fine, Snips." he assured, the door opening soon after with a whoosh

She decided to join him in his floor sitting, looking him over "Were you having a nightmare?"

"Something like that." he confirmed as she gently set her head on his shoulder "Talk to me."
