CHAPTER 9
Revan entered the rooms that she now called home. "AHHH!" Anakin jumped out at her and spun her around.
"Hey beautiful." Revan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she slumped. "What, what did I say?" Anakin asked, afraid.
"Just, you remind me of an old friend." She twisted her mouth into a semblance of a grin. "It's nothing." Anakin guided her to her couch, and pulled her close.
"Uh-uh sister, you're not getting away that easily. Something about this friend is bothering you. We're going to talk about it." Revan snapped.
"I SAID it was nothing! Just LEAVE IT!" She yelled. Anakin got up, miffed.
"Fine."
"FINE!" He exited the room. Revan sank back on the chair, and pulled her knees to her chest. Why did he have to remind her of Carth? That wound was healing, but still hurt. Healing? Did that mean… Yeah, it did. Revan was falling, falling in love.
Anakin angrily stormed into his and Obi-wan's apartment. Stupid Revan! All he wanted to do was comfort her, after he made her sad. Then she goes and blows up at him!
"Ani?" Revan's voice echoed softly. He didn't look at her, but stared angrily at the wall. "Would it help if I apologized?" It was impossible to stay angry with her.
"I guess it would. Come'er." He opened his arms, and she sat beside him, leaning gently against him.
"When you called me beautiful, it reminded me of Carth. Carth Onasi. He rescued me from the Endar Spire, and we escaped Taris. Well, you know the story, but along the way, I kinda fell in love with him." Revan began. "On Tattooine, he told me he loved me, and I foolishly believed him. Once we found out I was Revan, he tried to kill me. I had to leave him behind on the Unknown Planet. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, because I still loved him." Anakin drew back. "That was then. Now I found someone who I think accepts me, and I think I'm falling for." She tilted her face up. Anakin stared into her strange eyes, and saw the vulnerability there.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have tried to pressure you to talk." He began to lean down to her.
"I shouldn't be doing this… It's not the Jedi way." Revan protested.
"You're not. I am." He said. Right before he kissed her.
