Chapter 12
Anakin's cell was not the typical cell that most prisoners were usually put in. His was a cell that was private except for a guard standing outside of his cell, which was more like an apartment. Usually if a prisoner turns him or herself in they were put in a cell like this. He decided to try and meditate to clear his mind. After about an hour Anakin vanished into the world he entered earlier.
He watched the image that he saw earlier of when he had fought Obi-Wan. He still could not get over the fact that he looked like a robot. He also could not believe what a handsome man his son would grow into, but he wondered why in these images they never showed his son's sister. There was one girl the images shown a lot of. This girl was in pain in almost everything that he saw. There was even one where she was upset because her, (boyfriend?) was frozen in carbonite.
A familiar voice was heard, "That woman is your daughter you know."
Anakin turned around and he saw Qui-Gon.
"Good to see you again master."
Qui-Gon smiled, "looks like your plan worked. Now because of you that madman will get justice. I have said it before, even when the other council members disagreed even when you killed the Jedi, you are the chosen one, you have destroyed the Sith."
Anakin nodded. "Do you really think that they will execute Palpatine?"
Qui-Gon nodded.
Anakin turned. I feel so betrayed. When you were killed back on Naboo, even though Obi-Wan was a great teacher, and a great friend, I felt as if he did not understand me. It was then that Palpatine approached me. I even remember him pulling me into his office after the celebration on Naboo to personally congratulate me on destroying the CIS Main Ship.
Qui-Gon spoke up, "Yes he was good at hiding what his true intentions were. It is still hard to believe that the Jedi were blind to him being a Sith Lord for as long as he was there."
Anakin nodded, "The council and the Jedi never accepted me, or trusted me. The Emperor kept guiding me and encouraging my abilities."
Qui-Gon looked at Anakin, "Anakin I feel it is important that you not give up on life. I know you have done horrible things, and you feel like you should be executed for them. But, I know you were not Anakin, you were Darth Vader. Everyone now believes in you and proof of that is Yoda, willing to defend you. He was one of the Jedi who was strongly objecting to your training. Also, Padme needs you in her life, as well as your kids."
Anakin thought for a period and finally said, "You know master, I think you are right. But do you think that I will be pardoned?"
Qui-Gon said, "I really don't know. But to be honest, you have the Jedi on your side, and Padme loves you. You have a lot going for you. Let's also not forget you were the one who overthrew the Emperor."
Anakin said, "Thanks master." Then he faded back to reality.
As he appeared in his cell again the guard knocked on the door, "Skywalker you have a visitor."
