Hey Everyone! Hope you are all doing well! Keep pushing through! I know this chapter is pretty short, but the next part is longer, and I didn't want to make the next chapter too long so I broke it off here. Anyway, the next chapter should be up soon! Let me know how it's going! I love reading all the comments and theories! Lots of Love - Lorna :)


Anakin looked a little startled at the question.

"I don't really know. It took me a while to fall asleep, but eventually I did. My dream through-" Anakin started. "I was alone in this big, empty space. It was peaceful and quiet except for this huge, black tunnel in the corner. It was cold to be around and I don't know why it was so frightening but it was. I had made up my mind to just avoid the darkness but then I heard you. You were begging for help and I ran inside. Flames started to build around me but I could hear you panting and calling for help so I kept running and…" he paused. "Then I woke up with a desperate feeling that I needed to find you."

Obi Wan nodded in understanding but he held a concerned look on his face. "I- well, I won't complain, but if you're having dreams like that, they must be influenced by the force."

Anakin looked at him curiously. "I would assume so."

"But you have the chip on still right? You shouldn't be getting any more force interference than that of basic necessity."

"Right." Anakin followed.

"Can you use the force?" Obi Wan asked more intrigued than concerned. "Why don't you try to lift up the side table. It's light so it shouldn't take much effort."

Anakin nodded mutely and closed his eyes lightly. After a moment his eyes scrunched tighter and another few seconds led him to extend his hand outward but the table remained stationary. After a few more silent moment, Anakin open his eyes and released his arm with a tense exhale.

"Nothing, I can't even feel that it was there."

"Do you feel anything?" questioned Obi Wan.

Anakin shook his head. "Not really. I can feel you sort of. I know that you're alive, at least, and I can kind of sense our force bond. Let me try something…" he paused ,concentrating.

"Master?" A soft voice came through, a little staticky sounding and broken but not to the point of incoherence. "Can you hear me? It sounded a little stronger."

Obi Wan looked toward Anakin surprised. "Yes padawan, I can hear you fine. And you me?"

Anakin met his eyes and nodded in confirmation.

"But I don't think I can do anything else." Anakin said aloud. "I can't sense anyone or anything else. I think they might be too far away and too weak to reach through the chip."

"Curious," Obi Wan responded stroking his beard. "May I check the chip?" He asked.

Anakin looked at him, a small wave of worry crossing his expression before he nodded and sat on the bed.
