Sorry this took so long; I was researching for my new story. Well enjoy!
***************************************************************************
~Nighttime, Sola's funeral~
The flames lick high and above on Sola's body; her mother, her father, her little Sister Padme, her daughters, seven close friends, and Anakin stand around the burning corpse and watch with sadden eyes. Anakin begins to choke from the intense misery surrounding him. Everyone cries a silent river but him, he is too disturbed to; that strange voice of an old man is speaking to him again. It sounds oddly familiar, but he can't put his finger on it.
"Anakin," says the voice about four times, causing Anakin to leave the room. Padme looks up in bewilderment, 'Why is Ani leaving?'
But she stays at the funeral, making it her duty to.
Anakin walks out into an ally to take a breather.
"Finally you came," says the voice. Anakin jumps and turns around with his lightsaber in his hand.
"No need for that," says the robed man. "I am nothing but a hologram." Ani watches in surprise when the man's form blinks a few times when walking forward to him.
'He is a hologram," thought Anakin.
"That I am Anakin."
"How do you know my name," asks Anakin putting his lightsaber back slowly.
"I know all about you, Anakin. I know that you were once a slave, that you saved Naboo, stole a woman's heart, and I know about your mother Shmi."
Anakin lowers his head for a few minutes in sorrow; he raises it up again, "What do you want with me?"
"I want to give you the opportunity for power and vengeance."
"What's the catch," asks Anakin with his brows furrowing knowing there is one.
"No catch, just I will like you to help me in return."
"What kind of help?"
"To destroy the Jedi, Anakin," he says sadistically.
"Why would I help you?!"
"Look at you Anakin, you can never be a Jedi; not with your anger surging through you. They always knew you were too passionate, too much fear and anger in you. But they don't know that is your source of power, Ani. I do know, I foresee it as wee speak of many great things we can accomplish. The Jedi are weak, too many rules, afraid of their own feelings. "
"Ani!" yells Padme from the distance.
Anakin turns his head immediately until-
"And how will you support her, the Jedi will pull you two apart as soon as they find out how close you two are."
"But they already know."
"They only know that you're the father of her offspring, they don't know that you married her, that you both sleep in the same bed every chance you two get, or that you're inseparable. They see it as a one night stand."
"Ani!"
Anakin lowers his head in deep thought.
"Think of my offer, Anakin. Think about it." The hologram disappears, two second before Padme walked in the alley.
"Ani, there you are," says Padme sighing in relief. "What are you doing here?"
Anakin thinks of an excuse for a few seconds, "I was-just clearing my mind. The aurora of sadness was too much for me."
"Oh, I'm sorry Ani," she says softly, taking his warm hard with hers.
"It's not your fault, I'm just tired and stressed right now from earlier before."
"Let's go back to the Temple then. Ryoo and Pooja are waiting for us in the airspeeder."
Anakin nods and walks with her but in deep thought; why was the Emperor so interested in him, is it because of his strong emotions or because he is the Chosen one.
~The next day~
Padme is in the gardens with her husband, nieces and the two Droids, Artoo and Threepio wearing: her shriveled, blue, dress, with her blue poncho, and her half her hair pinned up. She watches Ryoo and Pooja pick out flowers that catch their interest; she likes that they are getting a little better than from yesterday. Yesterday they cried their selves to sleep, not eating or talking just weeping silently in the depths of the darkness in their chambers. She looks back at the meditating Ani; he seems calmer but still- disturbed. She worries about him, ever since his mother's death, he has been more protective of her lonelier in the heart. She wonders if her dreams are true, will he kill her? Or is it trying to tell her something else related to that?
"Anakin," says a voice. Anakin opens his eyes as Padme gazes at the doorway as well, both seeing Obi-Wan at the door.
"Yes Ma- I mean Obi-Wan," stutters Anakin, not used to calling his old Master by his first name.
"May I have a talk with you?"
"Yes, of course." Anakin glances at the worried Padme and walks away with Obi-Wan in the corridors.
"Is there something wrong?"
"In a way, maybe; The Council has seen things that were afraid to see."
Anakin looks at him puzzled, as they both stop facing each other.
"I'm sorry Anakin, but you are to be band from protecting Padme; and is being sent into battle tomorrow lat morning."
"How can you keep me away from Padme, her away from me! What about my unborn child! Obi-Wan, there has to be others to go into battle!" yells Anakin, in a frantic.
"It was not my decision Anakin. They told me to tell you, knowing the reaction you'd have. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but you let yourself get attached and distracted." Obi-Wan studies Anakin's face; it's a mixed emotion of sadness, frustration, but most of all anger.
"Where will Padme go," asks Anakin, clenching his teeth tightly.
"She will be sent to Alderaan; she'll be watched over by Bail Organa at the palace," answers Obi-Wan, crossing his arms as usual.
"And Ryoo and Pooja?"
"Her nieces will be sent to their grandparents' home." Obi-Wan leaves, as Anakin's rage starts to take over.
~Night~
Anakin sneaks out and highjacks a Jedi starfighter, flying to the Sith Ship where he saved Padme before, following the Dark Side's signature there. A beam then comes out and pulls Anakin in. His ship lands safely, he opens the door and walks out, seeing two troopers heading towards him.
"Follow me," says one of them. They all walk passing other troopers, machinery, and lots more. The troopers stop, with the other entering a code number to open the automatic slide door. The door opens with a swipe movement, revealing another room with the Emperor in it.
"Oh good, have you finally made your choice."
Anakin stops in angrily, "You knew that they take me away from her didn't you!"
"Yes, I did. Why did you think my hologram popped suddenly in that alley? Of course I knew, I foresaw before Master Yoda did."
"You bastard." Anakin turns on his lightsaber striking forward but then another saber blocks him. He looks up and see Dooku, "Do you really think that it would be that easy? My Master foresaw it."
Anakin slashed at him with Dooku blocking him, slash, twist, block, swing, jump, hit, duck. Dooku is running out of breath from Anakin's surge of energy from his anger. Anakin strikes and injures Dooku in the leg. Dooku falls with his lightsaber pulled away from him. Anakin lifts his lightsaber up, ready to strike down.
"Yes that's it, let anger take control, and let its power surge through your veins. Kill Dooku."
Anakin strikes down killing Dooku after few seconds of the blow. Anakin stands there, the darkness winning the battle inside him, his light gone from him, hiding away.
~Temple~
Padme awakes with a gasp. "Anakin," she breathes in fright, for her child (Children) saw of the end of Dooku, but the rise of someone darker. ***************************************************************************
