Anakin POV

No, I thought, not this one. I hated this nightmare. Others I can tolerate pretty well but I hated this nightmare.

The dream had started out peacefully. I was flying with Padme over Naboo. We were going to the Lake Palace to be alone for a few weeks. I extended the landing gear of our ship down, and soon we would be walking by the gardens and the waterfalls. I grabbed my wife's hands and we walk down the ramp.

But the scene changes, and it is suddenly Mustafar. I see the lava and ash all around us. We are walking towards the landing platform. My heart beats loudly inside of my chest.

"No!" I think to myself, "I wont. I will not do this." Aloud I say, "Padme get back on the ship. Padme. PADME!"

She does not listen, and keeps running down the ramp. Suddenly, I am right there meeting her.

"I saw your ship. What are you doing out here?" came my voice, but I did not speak.

"I was so worried about you," Padme said.

"I'm fine. Please go," I said to her, but again she did not hear me.

"Obi-Wan told me terrible things," she said.

"What things?!" I asked automatically.

"He said that you turned to the Dark Side. That you killed younglings," she said.

"There all true Padme. Please get away from me before you get hurt!" I cried, again she paid no attention to me.

The alternate me said, "Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me".

"He cares about us," she argued.

"Us?"

"He knows. He wants to help you. Anakin, all I want is your love."

"I love you, baby. Now please get away from me before I ruin us," I said. She looked at me blankly.

"Love won't save you Padme. Only my new powers will do that," he said.

"At what cost? Your a good person. Don't do this."

"I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of and I am doing it for you, to protect you."

"You are going to lose her, you idiot. In about five minutes you are going to lose her forever. Stop this!" I scream.

"Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything else behind while we still can," Padme pleaded.

"Don't you see," he said. "We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the republic. I am more powerful than the chancellor. I can overthrow him."

"You are his SLAVE! Run away with her while you still have a chance!" I pleaded.

"And together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be," he said, smiling.

I went and grabbed her arm. "Get away from him!" My hands ghosted through her hand.

"I don't believe what I'm hearing," she said, backing up from him. "Obi-Wan was right. You've changed."

"Run Padme!" I yelled.

"I dont want to hear anymore about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me," he threatened.

"I don't know you anymore," she said crying. "Anakin you are breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow."

"Because of Obi-Wan," he said with murder in his eyes.

"Do Not Touch HER!" I screamed at him drawing my saber.

"Because of what you plan to do," she said. "Stop now come back. I love you."

"Liar!" he yelled.

We all turned and saw Obi-Wan standing there.

"Your with him. You brought him here to kill me," he said. Then he raised his hand.

I saw her hands go up to try to fight the force choke off. "Stop!" I yelled. "Your killing her." I drew my lightsaber and struck him, but it did nothing to him. I tried using the force to choke him into unconsciousness, but again I could do nothing.

"Let her go, Anakin," came Obi-Wan coming down from the ship. Anakin, Me, still continued to choke her.

"Anakin," came her small voice pleading with him.

"Let. Her. Go." commanded Obi-Wan.

Suddenly, she dropped to the ground. I ran to her and picked her up. I checked for a pulse, but I could not feel one. She was dead.

I screamed, and turned to the monster who did this to her. Obi-Wan was busy dealing with him. Then I realized, I was the monster that did this. All of a sudden my lightsaber was in my hand. I aimed it at my chest, and was about to activate the lightsaber.

"Anakin, Wake up!" screamed Padme.

My eyes snapped open. I was standing in the kitchen of the lake palace on Naboo. I was shirtless, wearing black sweatpants. But what was really disturbing was I had my lightsaber in my hand pointed towards my chest with my thumb on the activation button. Now I couldn't die in this realm, but that would have hurt.

"It was a dream," I said stupidly.

She pulled out a communicator and starts walking away.

"Wait, Padme. Who are you calling at this time of night?" I shouted after her.

I followed her into the living room, and we sat down on the couch.

"Look, my mom doesn't-" I stopped when she glared at me. I had just scared her to death, she can tell whoever she wants.

Obi-Wan popped up. "Hello, Padme. Its late, well early. Is everything alright?"

"No," she said. "Anakin had a nightmare, and was in some sort of trance and he- he-." She started crying.

"Anakin, what happened?"

"I didn't hurt anyone. I had a nightmare and apparently I was sleepwalking and I um… kind of drew my lightsaber, and aimed it at, well me."

"You had a nightmare, and then you tried to kill yourself?"

"No. I had a nightmare, and in the nightmare I tired to kill myself and then I was sleep walking so I almost did it for real."

"That is not better, Anakin. Are either of you hurt?"

"I'm fine," said Padme.

"Yeah, me too," I said.

"Alright, I think the best thing to do is get Anakin to Depa, which means you will have to return to Coruscant. I am off world on an assignment, so I can not be there until two planetary rotations.-"

"Master, I would do anything to keep Padme safe, but we are on our honeymoon. I don't want to return to Couraunt so I can talk to Depa. Can't I just message her?"

"What if someone came and stayed with us?" asked Padme.

"Like who?" asked Obi-Wan.

"Snips and Rex," I suggested.

"We can try it. As long as you call Depa and tell her what happened."

"First thing in the morning," I said.

"No Anakin. Now. I will send Rex and Ashoka to you."

I sighed. "Okay."
