Anakin's Destiny: Chapter 5
By: RurouniGirl
Jacen ran into the living room and Luke jumped up.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
Jacen took a deep breath to calm himself down. "It's Anakin. I can't get him to wake up. He's having trouble breathing and his whole body is covered in sweat."
Luke followed Jacen into the room.
"Anakin. Anakin, it's me. Can you hear me?"
He waited, but got no response. He tried everything he could think of, but nothing would wake Anakin. He sat back and sighed in frustration. Anakin's breathing was getting worse and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Come on, Anakin. You have to wake up."
~*~*~*~*~*
Anakin opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet. It was still incredibly hot, but it was easier to breathe.
"Come on, Anakin. You have to wake up."
The voice echoed through the darkness.
Anakin whirled around. "Uncle Luke!"
"I'm afraid that won't do you much good."
His head snapped up. A man was standing in front of him.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The man smiled maliciously. "I want you dead," he said, as he pulled out a knife and lunged at Anakin. Anakin jumped back just before the blade came slashing down.
"Why? Why do you want me dead?"
The man smirked. "Because, your trying to stop me. Stop me from gaining power. Power that's rightfully mine."
He swung the knife, slashing Anakin's arm. Slowly, blood began to appear and soon, blood was pouring from the cut.
~*~*~*~*~*
Jacen shouted in surprise as a thin cut appeared on Anakin's arm and blood slowly began to appear. Soon, blood was pouring from the cut. Jacen frantically tried to stop the flow of blood as his uncle tried to find a way to wake Anakin up.
"Come on, Anakin. Wake up," he called.
But nothing seemed to work.
~*~*~*~*~*
Anakin clutched his arm trying to stop the blood flow while at the same time trying to fend off the other man's attacks. 'How was the knife able to cut him if he was asleep adn dreaming?'
Then a thought struck him. 'If this man could use a knife to cut him, then he should be able to use his lightsaber to defend himself.'
His hand went to his side and he felt the familiar coolness of the handle. He waited until after the man lunged again, and while his back was turned, drew his lightsaber. It's glowing blade shown brightly in the darkness that surrounded them and for the first time Anakin was able to see clearly the face of his attacker.
He drew back a few steps at the sight of teh familiar face.
~*~*~*~*~*
Jacen sighed for the hundreth time. The bleeding had finally stopped but Anakin was still in an unwakable sleep.
Luke leaned back against the wall tiredly.
"Why don't you get some rest?" Jacen said. "I'll stay with Anakin in case he wakes up and let you know the minute he starts acting like he might come to."
Luke smiled appreciatively. "Thank you," he said as he left the room.
Jacen watched him leave and then turned back toward Anakin. "Come on, Anakin. Wake up."
