Vanilla Days

AN: Anakin's POV. Forgive me if I mess up on where they live and stuff. And, don't worry, it'll get less confusing soon.
I can remember the old, warm days of my life.
The flower scented wind blowing across the fields on Naboo, lazily rolling away. Those days. That was when Padme was with me.
I can remember them.
I can taste the delicious cooked food my dearest wife made for me. A long time has passed since she has done this. A long time has passed since I've seen her, for that matter.
But I can remember it. All of it.
Except for one chapter of my life. The darkest chapter of my life.
Do I remember it? No.
Do I know what happened? Yes.
Padme and I lived on Naboo before moving to our home in Coruscant. But then war and politics began to eat us alive, more than when it did when we were young, so I spent most of my time there on a ship.
Not much, if any, time for me and Padme. She didn't laugh like she used to, if she ever did. I only saw her when we retired for the night after a long day's work - and she'd usually be crying. That was it. No sweet kisses, no more making love, no happiness. Nothing. The marriage was already going downhill.
But good fortune finally waddled around. Padme was holding my child. And I was the happiest man alive.
But then, the visions started coming. I woke up one night seeing Padme die in childbirth.
I was frightened.
My dreams were killing me. I was afraid to go to sleep for what my dreams might hold. There was no peace in the day or night. Ever since I was little, my mother had told me that my thoughts were my own, and no one could take them away. My dreams had been violated. And I submitted myself to fear.
I guess, that's where it started.
Padme 'reassured' me nothing was going to happen to her. But I knew more than that.
And then, I saw Master Windu get murdered. Chancellor Palpatine told me he could save Padme if I joined him...
I can't remember anymore.
Des-Edri told me I had been 'consumed by the Dark Side,' which explains everything that happened since that day. I don't know where she is now, or if she's been killed yet, but I hope the best for her.
Here is my story.
