Chapter 13

Disclaimer: Its Georges story and it always will be

Anakin had finally climbed up the cliff when he saw the light beginning to vanish from the planet. Now he could not tell which way north was, let alone where to go. Anakin sat down under a tree in frustration and heard a roaring sound. Anakin looked right and left to see a pack of creatures he had never seen before closing in on him.

It didn't take a genius to realise that these things were carnivores.

Anakin quickly stood up and climbed up the tree silently praying that the things couldn't climb. Thankfully they couldn't and they just kept jumping up to try and bite him, but Anakin was safely on the highest branch that could take his weight on the tree.

Another force storm was approaching and Anakin really couldn't care less. He was too tired to care. Soon he found himself sleeping on the tree like an idiot who didn't know what was going on around him.

Anakin.

Padme?

Where are you?

In the old republic, how are you here?

I'm not, I'm just speaking with you.

Oh yeah. Padme I miss you so much.

And I miss you, you do know how to get home right?

I do. I will come home Padme, I promise you.

I wait to see you again.

Padme, how are you speaking with me?

It's a dream Ani. Anything can happen in a dream.

Like this?

Anakin leant down and kissed Padme on the lips.

Yes, like that Anakin. But you should wake up now.

I don't want to.

You don't really have a choice, it's not like this is actually me speaking. Just a vision from the force to make you keep going.

What?

Anakin woke up to the roaring of the creatures below, did they ever quit? To make matters worse the force was giving him things to spur him on and Anakin hated that, but he wouldn't complain it was a nice gesture.

"I may not think much of you, force. But you sure know me well." Anakin whispered. He stood up and lauched himself out of the tree and into another one. Anakin soon found himself leaping from tree to tree as he steadily went north to his destination. It wasnt the happiest of days, in fact it was probably one of the lonliest days in his life.

Riley.

Dead.

Nick.

Jedi temple.

Annabeth.

Jedi temple.

Anakins friends.

None.

Anakin was all alone in the old republic with only the force to guide him and the instinct to go home.

His journey had to end soon, he wanted to go home. A light shining ahead told him that he was almost there, Anakin could have smiled with joy if he had any. It seemed that all hope for him had gone and with his sudden recovery from the amnesia it took everything in Anakin not to have a break down and try to accept that he was forever staying in the old republic. These thoughts where racing through his head when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Fear not, young on. I will send you home." Someone behind him said.

Anakin turned around and was confused by what he saw, there was no glow just a human. "Your a force wielder?" Anakin asked.

"Yes, and you should not be surprised by my appearence. You are far more than a force wielder and you do not glow lke a spirit do you?"

"No, I guess not. Sorry."

"It does not matter. We need to be on top of that hill to send you back, that is where the force is strongest."

Anakin nodded and followed the man up the hill.

"I never asked, whats your name?"

"My name is Elliot. Simple I know, but effective in making people take me as a weakling." Elliot replied with a warm flow in the force surrounding him as he spoke.

"So, this will send me back right?" Anakin asked with uncertainty.

"Yes, you will be fine. Do not worry."

Anakin stood were he was told and waited for something to happen, if anything. Elliots eyes were closed and he was focused in the force and muttering something that made no sound. The world turned bright suddenly and Anakin gulped, not out of nervousness though, out of shock.

Everything was going blurry and Anakin had the sensation that he was falling. The world turned white and lights glowed from all sides. Anakin fell backwards but impacted with nothing. Then he was on a soft surface, head resting on a pillow, surrounded by metal. Anakin closed his eyes and lost all concious thought.

Anakin.

Anakin!

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan called when Anakin wouldn't wake up from his sleep. Anakin looked around in confusion.

"Wha...what? What!" Anakin said in confusion.

"You must of been sleeping peacefully. You wouldnt wake up." Obi-Wan smiled in amusement.

"I was sleeping, no I wasnt! I was in the...you...wouldnt believe me if I told you."Anakin said to Obi-Wan.

"What happened?"

"Nothing!"

"Anakin." Obi-Wan gave him that stare that he always gave him when he demanded something.

"Alright, but you'd better keep an open-mind about this. So here goes." Anakin took a deep breath and explained everything that had happened. Ashoka was listening from the cock pit in wonder. By the time Anakin had finsished Obi-Wan was in deep thought.

"Anakin."

"Yes?"

"You must never tell anyone else this story."

"Why? Its not a story."

"I know, when you lie you deepen your voice. But if you tell anyone, they will think you are mad. Alright?"

"I understand that. Do I still have to go to the council meeting?"

"No, they will sense you are holding something back and when you tell them what you have told me they will consider sending you to a psyciatrist. Just dont say anything and go prepare for our upcoming battles. Understood?"

"Yes master."

Anakin watched Obi-Wan go and couldnt believe it. No time had passed what so ever and it was exactly like after what happened on mortis where it seemed like nothing had happened. Anakin smiled and whispered words that he would never say again. "Thanks, dad."
