It was a paradox the emotion felt between them and the lies that escaped Amari's lips as she turned away and looked at him. The kiss had shocked her and completely up rooted her way of thinking and instantly she felt as though she needed to do something, she knew this couldn't continue. She however ignored what was on her mind and walked away.

She sat in the kitchen for a good hour and stared down at the countertop part of her was distraught beyond imagination. In her mind floated many images of what could happen and all of them she did not want. She did not want to go to Endor but she did not want to stay here, here was like a prison a place where she never felt at home nor at ease. She stood and walked down the hall. The bruises on her back and arms were black and blue and the bruise on her neck was a dull yet sickening purple but they were fading.

Anakin stood on the platform looking out over the water as he trained. He looked almost expert as he swung his light saber around practicing lunges and swings. She smiled as she watched he was shirtless and she could see every muscle flexing underneath his skin. But he was still angry and it showed. The air around him was warm, more so than the rest of the air about him. She watched his teeth grit every time he tried a flip, the bruised vertebrae probably still was hurting him she reasoned

"Jedi, are also not supposed to feel anything but compassion and with love comes, jealousy, and jealousy leads to fear, fear to anger, anger, to hate and hate to the dark side" Anakin mumbled under his breath with a venomous taint to his voice as he swung his saber down in an arch. "As though I have not heard it enough from Master Yoda, Master Windu, and Master Obi-wan" he spoke as he turned around and watched a hurt Amari walked over.

"They say it because it is true!" She said as she shook her head at him.

"I have felt this way for a while Amari, ever since I saw you smile at me my first day at the temple, you even then seemed so strong, so Beautiful and so wise" He said as he closed the distance between them. There was a heat there that wasn't the heat of anger and it consumed him his entire body leaned towards Amari as she walked passed him.

"Emotions make you very vulnerable, that is what is keeping you from being truly great," she shook her head and looked at him "You were far to old to start when they brought you in, if only you had lived in the republic," she spoke more to herself than to him as she made her way to her room. He followed.

"Would you rather have had them not bring me in at all so we would have never met?" He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. She furrowed her brow and turned to him. There was a sort of tension between them, she shook her head and turned away.

"Yes" she spoke softly almost inaudibly as she opened the door to her room and quickly closed it.

She stood in the darkness for a while not wanting to turn on the light. She felt very sad, so sad her heart ached as she thought about leaving tomorrow. Her response was the truth, she had wished that they hadn't met, only because, however, things would not be so complex and she would not have to worry about these emotions she was feeling. There were loud noises out side of the door; she knew it to be what it was, Anakin having a fit. She quickly changed and stepped out side of the door to find Anakin throwing things around. He was crying, his cheeks were wet with tears.

The kitchen was now a mess, chairs were thrown into the glass on the cupboards and the table was over turned. Anakin now sat amongst this mess crying on the floor. He now had a nasty cut by his eye. It was bleeding profusely. She walked over to him and knelt beside him.

"Oh Ani!" She said as she shook her head. She pouted and picked up a napkin beside him and pressed it to his wound. He sniffed and looked up at her.

"Why?" Was all he spoke as she wiped the blood away from his wound.

"I cannot tell you why Anakin," She said as she shook her head and stood. The wound was still bleeding but there was nothing else she could do. "If I did..." she trailed off, as there was a knock at the door. She walked over to it quickly. She felt a great disturbance in the force. She looked at the door before opening it. On the other side stood a serving girl who pushed a cart into the communications room.

"Senator Amidala told me to bring this to you on the second day of your stay; Mistress Amari" Amari looked down at the cart and nodded.

"Thank you" was all she said before she closed the door. Anakin walked in the room and looked down at the cart. "Do not even touch it, take it to the back and push it off of the platform" she spoke as she stared at the cart. She did not want to touch it there was something unsettling about it.

"But she said it was a gift from Senator Amidala, I know her, Padmè was once a dear friend" he spoke as he looked down at it "She would never do anything to hurt us"

"I know this Anakin, Padmè is also a friend of mine, I have known her since she became queen, I was there when she was crowned, She would never do such a thing but then again she was not the one who sent this, it was Lamari" she spoke as she looked at him. She waved her hand. "You will push the cart off of the platform for me" she spoke softly as she looked at him.

"I will push the cart off of the platform Amari" Anakin spoke before pushing the cart out of the room. She loathed her self for what she did.

The night she couldn't stomach herself so she snuck into Anakin's room after he had gone to sleep. She sat next to him on his bed and traced the bandage with her fingers. She shook her head and leaned down.

"I love you" She said before she kissed his cheek. He then instantly woke up.

"Amari?" He spoke as he looked up at her she nodded.

"I used the force on you earlier today and I feel awful because of it"

"That is impossible, it only works on the weak-minded"

"I can make it work on anyone, now go back to sleep I did not mean to wake you" she spoke as she stood. He grabbed her arm.

"No, stay" he spoke as he looked up at her, she looked down at him and nodded before she lay down beside him. Her heart started to beat faster and she knew he could tell because he smiled.

"I knew you felt the same way" he spoke as he held her close.

"Please do not tell anyone" she spoke as she looked at him he nodded.

"Your secret is safe with me" he whispered into her ear and he kissed it.
