Chapter 3 – Bound to the darkness
A/N – Set just after the end of Attack of the Clones. To my all my reviewers – thank you so much.
Disclaimers etc in Chapter One
I know we are all free to choose whom we love and hate my lady, but I must question the wisdom of you binding yourself to a soul as troubled as I believe the padawan is.
Marriage is supposed to be the public affirmation of the most private commitment two souls can make. I know my soul does not need a ceremony to feel bound to yours.
Images of you in your marriage bed with that boy attack my heart and mind like a tribe of Tusken Raiders.
Closing my eyes, I feel my arms wrapped around you as I rest my head on your chest and I can think of no place I would rather be. I imagine myself surrendering my heart, mind body and soul into you, Letting this flight of fancy take me higher as I imagine the children we could have together.
They would be intelligent, strong and born leaders. Ones who could fight alongside their parents as this horrid Clone War continues. Who knows who will survive and whether all we fight for will remain intact?
If this war should separate us for eternity my lady, know that my last thoughts will be of you and the beauty that could have been ours.
We have something special, rarer than rain on Tatooine. Why will you not let it live and grow as it needs to?
You have so much love to give yet why do you choose to bestow it on one who will only cause you pain.
Obi Wan has returned to the control room, incensed you have taken up with the padawan. He is not shy about voicing his disapproval. He looks at me, urging me to add my cries of disapproval.
It seems like the perfect opportunity to share my troubled heart with one who understands the gravity of this situation.
Alas, I can not dissolve the clouds around my mind by sharing them with the Jedi Knight. To do so, would betray my feelings for you.
