Chapter 3

Disclaimer: Its Georges story, and always will be

'Ani...my dearest Ani.' The force called out to him, soothing him and washing away his concerns of another restless sleep. Then the voice returned. 'You will pay, by the darkness of the force, i will send you to a time of conflict and a time when the sith are supreme and more powerful than they are now. You, chosen one, will learn that it pays to anger a force wielder.'

'No, you dont have any powers, your father destroyed them!' Anakin replied desperatley, he knew the voice now. It was the sons.

'I am part of the force now, and i will send you...'

Anakin did not get to hear him finish his sentence as a that moment Obi-Wan entered with Master Windu and Master Yoda. Anakin eyes flew open as their prescence awoke him. He knew instantly that he must have done something in his sleep, because he could clearly read it in their faces.

"Are you aware that you were talking in your sleep?" Obi-Wan asked.

"No."

"Are you aware of the dangers your dreams present?"

"No."

"And are you, if ever, aware that you must learn to control your emotions?"

"Yes." It was the only word Anakin had said so far apart from 'no'.

"So, do you even know whats happening in your dreams?" Master Windu asked him. This time Anakin had the answer for them.

"Yes, I'm speaking to the force and its trying to comfort me about something. But then i hear the sons voice, he said he wanted revenge and that he was going to send me..." Anakin trailed off, he didnt know that yet. "I dont remember what he's going to send me."

The masters looked at each other. "Anakin, the son cannot harm you, he is dead and without his powers."

"But, if he is part of the force, isnt it possible that he could influence it to harm me?" Anakin asked curiously. At last he seemed to have struck something in their attention and could sense how strongly they each pondered that possiblity.

"Impossible, it is. Even for one as strong in the force, as these beings were. Vanquish him you did, Skywalker. Worry you must not, as dangerous and violent as your previous outburst, this was not. Yet believe, the council does, that until these dreams disappear, refrain from returning to was, you should."Yoda told Anakin firmly. Anakin knew that there was absolutley no way he was returning to the battle field if he couldnt be at peace even in his sleep.

With that, they left. Anakin felt strangley lonely and purposless. He then remembered his thoughts from the day before and his need to visit the Jedi archives. Upon remembering this Anakin stood up abrutly and waved away a medical droid who offered his assistance to the young knight.

Anakin stood up and felt his legs shaking beneath him, his clothes must have still been stained with blood and Anakin was glad that it was unnoticable against his dark clothes. Anakin took his time exiting the room, he couldnt go faster anyway. His legs wouldnt allow it. Oh, if only he was used to using the force for such draining tasks, maybe he wouldnt feel as weak as he did now. Sighing silently, Anakin forced himself out of the room at a faster pace and was determined to get to the archives. Or at least, his plan had been to go alone. Until Ashoka caught up with him.

"Hey master." She greeted warmly. "Where you headed?"

"To the Jedi archives, snips." Anakin replied with the same amount of friendliness.

"Why are you going to the archives? I thought you said, and i quote, 'I do my learning on the spot, snips. Old books and holopads dont matter to me.'"

Anakin smiled in amusment. "I just need to check something, then, hopefully, I'll be back to normal."

"You'd better be, I cant go anywhere without you in battle. Apparently, they're still trying to decide on what to do about the spirit of the daughter that keeps me alive, and since your the one who put it there, I have to stay close to you." Ashoka seemed very annoyed at this.

"I'm sorry, Ashoka. You were dead. Literally. I couldnt not do it, i was breaking down and the oppurtunity was right there. They shouldnt treat you differently because of it." Anakin stressed the last sentence. They really should know not to judge her, she might not change at all.

"Yes, well, some of the council members did say that in the meeting but..."

"Wait, you and Obi-Wan reported to them? Without me?"

"Master Kenobi thought it best, you'd been through alot and he was thinking about it, then when you started thrashing around in your sleep he decided that there was no way you were reporting to them."

"At least i dont have to explain how i knew how to bring you to life." Anakin muttered under his breath.

"Maybe not to them directly, but you do realise that they will ask questions. How did you prove yourself to the father? How did you return from the dark side? How did you bring me back? How did you kill the son?" Ashoka went on and on with the boring questions that he would be asked, yet he felt no need to stop her. Being treated like a friend ment everything to him, especially when the Jedi masters had treated him like a bomb that was about to go off.

"I think you've made your point, Ashoka." Anakin finally silenced her. They had reached the entrance to the archives. At this point Anakin had realised that they were being tailed by a padawan, obviously assigned by the council to report where Anakin was going.

"You coming in, or are you gonna go find something less boring to do." Anakin mocked Ashoka in a friendly way.

"You know I'd rather be training with Barris than stuck in there with you, and you've only yourself to blame since i get that quality from you." Ashoka turned left when he went right and walked into the archives.

Anakin had never actually appreciated how much knowledge was contained within the archives. But he had never really cared until today, and now it meant everything to him. He had to know what force wielders were capable of, and, if possible, how to strip them of their force powers.

Anakin was not as surprised as the padawans and younglings who were studying for their trials when they saw him enter, the most surprising person was probably Master Jocasta Nu.

"Young Skywalker, i dont think I've ever seen you here since the days before your trials." She told him amusingly.

"Well, i wasnt to keen on knowledge back then. But now i was wondering what you know about force wielders." Anakin asked hesitantly. Not many Jedi knew much about force wielders, but Anakin was determined to find out.

"Thats a species i didnt think I'd hear of for a long time. It is appropriate that you should be the one to come asking, given who you are after all."

Anakin flinched slightly. She was one of the Jedi who had now begun to believe he was the chosen one. After the whole ordeal with the force wielders, a number of Jedi had come to believe that he was, infact, the chosen one. "I never really thought about it that much." Anakin told her simply. The prescense of the padawan tailing him vanished suddenly, he had been hoping to keep this quiet.

"Well, i think i know just where to put you. Please follow me." Anakin followed obediantly.
