Sorry, I'm not so good at writing normal family stuff, action and seriousness comedy that's more my stuff so excuse the crappiness of the first part of this chapter. Oh and by the way my Microsoft word is recognizing crappiness as an actual word. Hmm…

Chapter 2: Taunting Anakin

Anakin arrived at Padmé's apartment right when the sun set leaving only a few golden and red patches left in the sky. Obi-wan's new apartment was in the building next to him and as Anakin jumped out of his speeder he saw Obi-wan land. He waved at him and entered the apartment building. Padmé's chief of security greeted him, good old captain Typho.

" Hello Anakin."

" Hello Typho, where are Padmé and the kids?"

" Last I checked in her living room."

" Which one?"

" Topmost. Watching a program on the holonet."

" And you?"

" Checking out the security of this place, you know making sure a droid doesn't release anymore poisonous bugs while no one's looking."

" Captain."

" Yes."

" Please don't remind me of that."

" Oh, alright never again."

" Good man."

Anakin brushed past him and up to the turbo lift. He entered and it shot up to the second to last floor. As the doors slid open Anakin stepped into the blue and gold hallway. The royal blue carpet bushing against his boots. Faintly he could hear the holonet station. The kids and Padmé were watching some sort of old fashioned show.

He entered the living room and greeted his wife the children were sleeping. He had wondered why an old show was on.

" Padmé I think I'm gonna go to bed to." Anakin said as she and him broke away from their hug.

" Something wrong?"

" No just tired."

" Its only eight though."

" Yes and I'm going to wake up at six fifteen tomorrow."

" Why?"

" Because, it's the time I always wake up. I just cannot stop myself."

" Really, well why don't you try turning off your alarm?"

" I cant."

" Why?"

" I, I don't know how."

" Don't pull that with me. You made a pod racer when you were nine. And you cant figure out a stupid alarm clock?"

" Leave me to buy the extremely sophisticated kind."

" What you're afraid of breaking it?"

" No I'm afraid it will explode. I don't know all its features."

" Well I'm sure exploding and killing its owner is one. After all that is the most common way people die." Padmé said sarcastically. " Just unplug it."

" I cant do that!"

" Why?"

" Because I like waking up at six."

" Whatever, I'm missing my show, night." Padmé said kissing him and walking to the sofa.

" Night." Anakin said turning and ascending the small stairway to the veranda then from there into the hallway up some more stairs and into his and Padmé's room.

He took a short shower and didn't even bother to dry his hair, he was so tired. As he entered the main part of the bedroom something appeared. Using the force he called his lightsaber to him. Once the thing became clear and he saw what it was he gritted his teeth in rage and struck his lightsaber right through the man.

" Anakin I'm dead. You cannot hurt me." Sidious laughed as Anakin pulled his saber out of the spirits chest.

" Why the hell are you here!"

" Shh, not so loud you don't want to disturb Padmé."

" Don't you even speak her name you lying bastard!"

" Anakin you have to calm down, I came here for a reason."

" Why? To lecture me. In case you haven't noticed you're dead and I never joined the dark side."

" No, I'm not here to lecture you. Just to chat."

" Well then why don't we open up a bottle of brandy sit down and become the best of friends?"

" Don't get to carried away."

" Get out you damn tyrant!"

" Alright let me just cut to the point. I'm here to show you something."

" What, your ugly face? I've seen it already thanks."

" No, I'm here to show you the future and your pain."

" What the hell are you talking about."

Sidious's ghost didn't answer instead it stuck out its hand as if it were going to spray him with force lightning. Instead Anakin completely blacked out. When his eyes opened he was standing in some sort of control room. Ahead of him was Xen.

" Move one more step and everyone dies." She hissed.

Anakin couldn't stop himself. He ran at her holding his lightsaber high and she grabbed a comlink.

" Do it now!" she screamed into it. Anakin stopped and looked out the window to his right. There was Coruscant and the Republic fleet bombarding the place he was in. Below the window a huge green laser beam appeared and crashed into Coruscant. The planet seemed to glow with fire, it sank into itself and then blew out sending huge explosions of gas and plasma right onto the Republic fleet destroying it.

" PADMÉ!" He instantly cried out. He looked at Xen as she cackled cruelly. Then all he could see was black again. When he came back into the real world he saw Padmé. She was standing over him. Wait, we was lying on the floor, his he sat up and saw his soaking wet hair had made a dark spot. He looked into Padmé's eyes.

" Anakin what happened?"

" Where is he!"

" Who?"

" Sidious, he was here, his spirit."

" Anakin what are you… Anakin!"

Anakin fell back on the ground again, unconscious. Using every ounce of strength she had she picked him up and laid him on the bed.

Anakin appeared in nothing but a black and barren space. There was nothing, nothing anywhere. Everything was quiet. He was nothing, there was some sort of black smoke covering his body like clothes and his hair was completely dry.

In front of him the blackness actually grew darker and out of it stepped Sidious.

" Where am I?"

" In your mind."

" What was that thing I saw?"

" The future."

" Like I should believe anything you say you lying bastard."

" Whether you believe it or not does not matter to me. Only know it is the truth and the only way you can stop it is by helping me."

" And I should just believe you! You're lying!"

" Are you willing to risk it, to risk her?"

" Shut up! Let me leave here, now!"

" It her funeral. Remember if you change your mind and you let me help you…"

" I wont."

" Fine."

For the umpteenth time Anakin saw darkness. His eyes fluttered open. He was in bed, Padmé was asleep her knees on the ground and her head on his chest. Using the force he levitated her into the bed and covered her up. Putting his arms up pushing back his hair and putting the behind his head he lost himself in thought. The vision replaying in his mind over and over. Sidious's word passing through his mind again and again.

None of this could be true, it was just another attempt to turn him against everyone. Just a lot of meaningless taunting… he hoped.
