Lysara's POV

"This planet's heat is worse than Tatooine" I complained as Anakin, Padme, and I proceeded to the droid factory. "Sorry Anakin"

Anakin shot me a smirk which made me blush. All around us there was exhaust which didn't suit well with my nose. I sneezed just as the door in front of us opened. Once inside did I drew out my daggers because it wouldn't be long until we would have company.

It wasn't long until the creatures who resided here decided to attack. Anakin immediately took out his light saber and began to fight. Padme ran ahead and I tailed her. One of the creatures attacked me and I was quick to slice it's head off with my knives. I followed Padme through a door and it wasn't long until Anakin joined us after dealing with the Geonosians who attacked him.

The platform we had been standing on suddenly moved and this made me and Padme fall. She and I landed on one of the conveyor belts which were in the process of making droids. Anakin called out to us and it wasn't long until he jumped onto the conveyor belt too with his light saber back on.

Let me take over I can get us through the obstacles my wolf demanded.

I let her take over and soon she was dodging the many pieces of machinery. Padme was doing the same ahead and was doing well to avoid being squashed. Avoiding being squashed was all about timing and good eye sight.

Eventually I caught up with Padme and as I did my inner wolf let me take back over. A Geonosian found us and I immediately killed it by hurriedly pushing both of my daggers into its stomach. I heard Padme yelp and I turned to see her fall into a rounded piece of machinery. I was quick to jump into it before it left the conveyor belt.

"Lysara your hurt!" Padme exclaimed.

Sure enough my right arm had a burn mark on it. She tore off a piece of her cloak and wrapped it around my injury. I winced when she finished tying the temporary bandage and she apologized.

"We need to find a way out of here" the senator suggested looking for a way for us to get out of our current predicament. "And fast"

"Stand back" I advised and I put my daggers away. I then shot out a blast of ice from my hand seeing if I could possibly form some stairs but the heat from the factory made my ice blast turn into steam.

"Damn it" I growled.

Padme and I then noticed we were getting closer to our immediate doom and we both swore. Suddenly the piece of machinery we were in dropped and upon hitting the floor it turned sideways. I got to my feet and helped Padme up. No sooner had we walked out of it did several Geonosians surrounded us with weapons drawn.

"F**k" I hissed.

A short walk later Anakin, Padme, and I came face to face with Count Dooku. The bounty hunter Obi-Wan had been tracking Jango Fett stood behind the Sith Lord.

He doesn't look like a Sith my wolf said. His eyes aren't even glowing

She was right I didn't see the signature yellow eyes a Sith usually had.

"You are holding a Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi I'm formally requesting you hand him over to me now" Padme demanded. In my mind my wolf and I shared a smirk at her remark and her badass side.

"We don't recognize the Republic here Senator" Dooku replied. "But if Naboo were to join our alliance I could easily hear your plea for clemency"

"And if I don't join your Rebellion?"

"The Republic cannot be fixed milady it is time to start over"

"I know of your treaties with the Trade Federation, the Commerce guild and the others Count, I will not forsake all I have honored and worked for and betray the Republic"

"Without your cooperation I've done all I can for you" was Dooku's response.

Asshole my wolf growled.

"Lady Tamarin?"

Count Dooku was addressing me now and so I looked at him to see what he wanted.

"We don't come across your kind much my dear I offer to free you and your friends here if you join me"

"Go to hell" was my response.

Later.

"That son of a bitch Dooku I swear to god I'm personally gonna kick his ass if I have the chance" I snapped.

Anakin, Padme, and I were sentenced to die. And they took Padme out to the arena before Anakin and I were!

At the moment he and I were on the same transportation chariot that would take us out to the arena shortly and our damn hands were in cuffs. I noticed Anakin smirk from the corner of my eye. Suddenly my inner wolf howled and I had no idea why she was doing this. It was at that moment did it make sense.

"Don't be afraid Lysara" Anakin told me.

I turned to the Padawan.

"I won't die without a fight" I began. "But losing you would kill me my Luachmhor Aon"

"What are you talking about?" Anakin asked.

"I love you" I answered. "I always have"

"You love me?" Anakin inquired in surprise. I had his full attention now. He sighed before continuing. "I thought we had decided not to fall in love, that we would be forced to live a lie knowing I might not be your mate"

"You are my mate" I continued and my eyes never left his. "Know this now I deeply love you and before we meet our demise I wanted you to know"

Then he and I shared another kiss we both have long desired to have. I also knew I would not die after I finally found my mate and anything that got in my way would deal with the consequences.

Luachmhor Aon means "Precious One" in Scottish Gaelic. That will be Anakin's nickname that Lysara will use.
