Ok you guys get lucky tonight. I have two chapters posted. Both are short one that couldn't really combined together. The next two chapters will be long ones again. I'm writing chapter 24 right now.

Anakin's Girl - You thought I was going kill him? Nah I would done that a couple chapters ago. Actually I have a timeline set up for this story. So I'm following that.

Kal's Gal - Good to hear from you agian

Chapter 19

"Quick restrain him before he does any damage" K'amott said watching Anakin suffering from the effects of the fever."Poor Anakin, he's suffering from Nawegor fever. He must have picked it up the virus from the Outer Rim. Being in a coma finally triggered it. A slight set back for him. Obi-Wan is clear to stay with him. His wife can sit with him again, when the fever goes away."

Obi-Wan was meditating when the door finally opened.

"Master Kenobi?" K'amott called out. "You can come in now."

Obi-Wan got up quickly and walked into the room. There, Anakin was in restraints again. Clearly he was suffering from the fever.

"Anakin is suffering from Nawegor Fever. He picked it up when he was in the Outer Rim sieges. It's transmitted by insect bite. So there's no chance of him passing to anybody else. However, to be on the safe side. Milady Skywalker, is to stay away until the fever breaks." K'amott said.

"How long will that take?"

"Another day or two. Right now his fever is high, gave him Axil to bring it down, just takes time. The body is fighting the virus, which is a good sign. As for his cough, well that's a different story. That's another thing he has to fight. But all coma patients get this type of respiratory infection. I'm hoping now it doesn't get worse."

Somehow you free your hands
from the tangle of black strands.
Then try to free your feet from the others.
Now and then blocking the lashing one

When you are clear
you run
for the first time.

"So there is still a chance of him getting worse. When do we pass the doorway of him getting better finally?"Obi-Wan spoked, dreading the answer.

"I don't know, there are too many items that are unknown in this case. Even healer Naporta is also at a lost too. I'm sorry about this. I was really hoping for better progress." K'amott quickly said. "If you don't mind, I have to send Naporta an update now."

"Yes, go ahead." Obi-Wan answered back. Sitting down in the chair, watching Anakin fight the restraints. "Anakin you really stumped me now. I have no choice but leave you alone on this."

You ran a straight line
for there are no corners to turn.

Blackness knows the direction
you are running too, so it waits

"Anakin, what's my life going to be without you"

"You're back already."Jobal quickly said when saw them enter the house. "What happened to Anakin?" when she Padme face.

"He developed a fever and has been transfer to the hospital wing. Because of this, she's not allowed to see him due to the twins." Sola responded.

"Ok. Come Padme. Let's put you to bed." Jobal taking her arm and leading Padme to her room.

Padme said nothing and let her Mother put to bed and watched her Mother leave quietly. She was grateful for the bed after all that crying she had done.

"I wonder what the twins must think about all this." She thought as she picked up the picture of Anakin."What were you going say Ani? Hmm, nothing of course. Just give me one of your "I'm innocent" smile then take me into arms. Then hold me tightly. That's what I want now, is for you to hold me ands tell me everything will be alright now."

When you run,
you don't look down.
For what is the point.
All has been grey.

Except for the strand
of black, as it yanks you
back down to the ground.
Pulling you away from
the lighter grey. Back
to its center of black.

Again you fight it,
with all you have left.
No, you going win this fight.
Even if in the end,

you lose your life.

"Master Kenobi, what do you need?" Caslari asked.

"Please send this message to the Council. It's already been coded. Just has to be transmitted. Thank you." Obi -Wan handing it to him.

"How he is doing. ?"

"Good and not good." Obi-Wan answered. "Still a waiting game."

"Master Yoda. This just came from Master Kenobi. Anakin has grown sicker. He has developed Nawegor Fever and upper respiratory infection." Master Plo said, handing Yoda the message.

Yoda studied it and let out a small sigh.

"Tomorrow maybe better news. Not good for today. This not good."

Chapter 20

Again you and the blackness
fought. As you gain strength.
So does the Blackness.

Yet, despite all this.
You are starting to feel
more alive. So there is hope

But what is hope?

"The fever finally broke."K'amott said to Obi-Wan while examining Anakin. "And the test for the Galeriana count came back. It's down to 70."

"That's a good drop. You think the fever did that?"

"Yes, I think that did help him. The cough right now, is being the stubborn one. I'm afraid at one point it will start weakening him. However there's not much I can do for that right now." K'amott answered.

"Yes I know. What about Padme? It's been two days and I'm starting to worry about her. Can she at least see him for an hour?" Obi-Wan asked, hoping for a yes answer.

"Yes, she can see him. Let's just keep it for an hour. Maybe she can get him to calm down. Anakin is still on the wild for some reason" K'amott said.

"Thank You. Ah Anakin, you get to see your devoted wife again. She should be napping now. So I'll call her in an hour. Padme misses you, Anakin. Too many people are missing you. I have been reporting to the Council every day. Who in turn, have been keeping your fellow Jedi informed. I think when you wake up. They going throw a party in your honor."

Didn't learn from the last time?
Ok. Round? Whatever.

Oh, you're going tried
that again ?
Fine, I'll just keep walking
Bye

Well who am I?
Don't know at this point.
Don't care either.
Well at least for today

and what is today ?

Here I go again.

"Now what?"Obi-Wan jerking awaked from his little nap. "Well you don't have a fever. What's going on Anakin? I know you want out of those restraints. But you almost punch me in jaw yesterday. Thank you. Oops, another coughing fit."

One strand of blackness.
The one you didn't see
as you fought.

Wraps around your
throat and pulls itself tighter.

"Anakin! Nurse "Obi-Wan called out. "He choking again."

You grasp it
and tried to pull it away.
It just pulls tighter.

Obi-Wan watched as the nurse went to work.

"There you go Anakin. He just choked on something or something bothered his throat. Maybe it's his feeding tube. That can cause problems too. After lunch tomorrow, I'll take it out for a while. Give him a rest from it."She said.

"Rest? He has had enough rest. Needs to wake up," Obi-Wan said, poking him. "Nap time is over."

With a bit luck
You won this round.
But you are tired again.
So you'll rest for a bit.

"Ok Anakin, going to call your loving wife and tell her the good news." Obi-Wan said. "Now can you behave yourself for five minutes"

Obi-Wan went to the nurse's area and place a call to the house. It was good to see Padme smiling again.

"Now remember it's only for an hour. Anakin still has that terrible cough."

"I know, I know. I just want to see him." Padme replied. When the call was done, she turned to her Mother. "Mom, good news. I get visit Ani tomorrow. It's only for an hour but I don't care. Hear that twins, Going to see your Daddy tomorrow."

In the greyness
There is no Sun, no Moon,
no Star, to guide you.
Only the shades of grey
Tell you where you are going.

So you walk
towards the lighter shades.
Hoping this the way
to answers of questions
that has been walking with you.

Between all that-
You have been fighting
not yourself, but the blackness.

All fights have an end.
Either, the opponent dies
or you die.

Yet, who are you
and where are you going?
Here or There
or Someplace else?

Now is not the place
for questions.

Blackness
is waiting again
to strike.
