(a/n): This is a LONG and emotional chapter lol, so be prepared.

TW: Blood and torture, sort of? You'll see haha. Carry on otherwise :)

(y/n) POV:

Once again, I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in the medical bay. There weren't any windows in this particular room, so I couldn't tell what time it was. I knew for sure that I had slept for a long time, though. And all the bright lights were on so I still had to squint to adjust my vision to them. At first I forgot why I was in here, but then all the memories replayed in my mind and I cringed at how easily I lost my temper back on Corellia.

"No....why did I do that?" I muttered.

This was definitely gonna cause some serious repercussions for me.

I still had a migraine from before I fell asleep, and it was killing me. The piece of the roof must've hit my head pretty hard, and the nurse said that the medicine would have side effects that might make my head hurt before it heals. I remembered Anakin coming in here before I slept, and my heart leaped at the memory. But in the same moment, it broke because now he doesn't want anything to do with me for who knows how long. He was probably going to be avoiding me just like I did to him, but I honestly deserved that.

I sighed, still feeling stressed even though everything was over now. Suddenly my door opened, and I turned my head to see Yoda calmly walking in with his cane. I gave him a surprised expression, because I didn't expect him to come and visit me.

I smiled, "Hey Master."

He nodded in greeting, "Feeling, how are you?"

He came up to the seat next to my bed and sat down. I shrugged, "Okay. It could be better, but it could also be worse."

He nodded in understanding and gave me a serious look, "Much to talk about, we have. Tomorrow in the training room, meet me."

His words made my stomach churn uncomfortably for some reason. I have no idea what he has planned for tomorrow but it doesn't sound good. The look in his old features told me that something was troubling him greatly, and I already knew whatever it was had to do with me. I nodded and swallowed back my lingering anxiety.

"I'll be there."

Time skip~

After getting cleaned up back in my quarters, I quickly got dressed and put my hair in a high ponytail, and then finishing with some mascara. I sucked my teeth at the sight of myself. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't very lovely either. I had a long, thin cut across my eyebrow, and a faint purple bruise under my lip. I also had some bandages on my arms from when I tried to block the pieces of the roof from falling on me. I sighed and thought back to Obi-Wan's words in the medical bay; how come I keep getting seriously hurt? And somehow I've come out of it just fine each time.

The doctors let me go back to my room last night, so it was nice to be able to sleep in my own bed rather than the stiff medical beds. They once again gave me some more painkillers to take for my migraines, which have helped a little bit but not as much as I'd like them to.

I left my room after taking some more painkillers, and made my way to the Jedi training room. Yoda didn't say to bring anything so all I had was my lightsaber and a bottle of water, just in case.

Feeling a wave of anticipation wash over me, I cautiously entered the training grounds. When I stepped inside I noticed that it was completely empty, aside from Yoda who was meditating in the middle of the room with his back turned to me. I slowly entered and spun in a circle to get a good view of everything. The large statues complimented the windows nicely, and since it was daytime the rays of the sun shone through different parts of the room, illuminating some areas more than others.

"Hey Master." I greeted as I walked up behind him.

"In front of me, come sit." He said without turning around.

I did as he instructed and sat cross-legged in front of him, taking off my robe. His eyes were closed and he opened them after a few seconds.

"A disturbance in the force, there is. Had a conversation about this, we did. Remember, do you?" He tilted his head slightly.

I do remember. It was back on Kashyyyk before we left to Corellia. I didn't think much of it because at the time I was too focused on Elliot and Anakin.

I nodded, still not knowing where he was going with this. He sighed sadly, which made me even more confused and worried.

"Know what it is, I believe I do. But test something first, I must."

He suddenly stood up and walked around me, dropping his cane and stopping behind me. I turned my head and looked at him confusedly, "Uh what are you doing?"

"Turn forward." He instructed.

I rose an eyebrow but still did what he said. Then I felt his fingers press into both of my temples, causing me to twitch in surprise from the sudden contact.

"What are you doing?" I asked again.

He hummed in thought, "Close your eyes. Hurt, this might. Open your mind, you must."

My eyes widened and a million possibilities of what was about to happen flooded through my mind. Was he going to try and read my thoughts? What if he finds out about Anakin and I? He said it might hurt too. I don't know what 'it' is but it doesn't sound good to me.

I gulped and took a deep breath, then closed my eyes, "Okay."

Yoda pressed his fingers into my temples a little harder, and that's when I started to see a vision of a blinding light along with feeling a searing pain shoot through my head. I gasped and instinctively tried to pry his hands off of my my temples.

"Unmoving, you must be." He said calmly.

I started to shake from the pain since my head was already hurting from my injuries and the medicine I was taking. I didn't respond but still kept my eyes closed, and tried to open my mind just like Yoda told me to do. The blinding lights started to fade, and I found myself back in the training room. But this time, Yoda wasn't there and instead it was Anakin. Or the younger version of him, at least, and he was playfully swinging his lightsaber. I took a few steps back and then saw myself, watching him admirably.

This was my vision from before. Why was I seeing it again? It was obviously important since I'm seeing it again but I still couldn't figure out why, even after meditating all those times.

"Anakin, If I ever need you when I'm in trouble then you'll come and help me, right?" I heard my younger self ask innocently.

I smiled, remembering how different these times were. Anakin and I had other friends, but we really only ever stayed around each other because we knew we could count on one another. It made me consider, that maybe I always had deeper feelings for him. And maybe they just didn't surface until recently.

Then my nose started to randomly feel hot and itchy. I didn't think anything of it at first until I felt fiery liquid slithering down my lips and chin. I touched the liquid with my fingers and brought them in front of me.

"What the—what is happening?" I muttered to myself, curiously eyeing the blood on my fingers from all angles. A nosebleed is the last thing I expected to happen in here.

"Yoda, can we stop now?" I asked, starting to get freaked out.

I didn't even know if Yoda could hear me in this vision, or if I was literally just in my own head and away from the real world.

I didn't hear any response so maybe the latter of my guesses was correct.

I sighed and wiped my nose as much as I could, not caring about all the blood I now had on my palms and fingers.

"Of course, you're my best friend and I would never give up on you. Together we're going to save the galaxy from this war!"

As soon as young Anakin said that, my ears softly rang and started to feel hot and itchy just like my nose.

"Oh no no no." I whined, reaching my bloody fingers to my ears. This time, the blood that trailed down from my ears felt hot and cold at the same time, if that's even a thing. It was cold, but it was a burning cold. I started hyperventilating, and desperately looking around for some sort of mirror actually see myself. But there was nothing around besides me and the two young kids in front of me. Now I was really scared, because the blood wasn't ebbing and my ears and nose felt as if they were engulfed in a freezing fire.

"Yoda please! Can we stop?" I cried out.

Still no response. I backed up quickly and leaned into the wall, trying to compose myself. I rubbed my arms and closed my eyes. My breaths were ragged and uneven, and I began to sob softly. Even though this was just a vision, it all still seemed so real. The blazing fire running down my skin burned more with each second. And right now I felt so alone and stuck and helpless, and I hated it.

"Are you okay?" I heard a high pitched voice ask. My heart skipped a beat and I opened my eyes, seeing Anakin and myself looking at me in curiosity. I didn't respond right away because I was stunned that they were talking to me. Wasn't this just supposed to be a vision of the past? How could they be able to talk to me?

"Uh I—" I sniffled and coughed, "I guess I'm not doing so great." I chuckled drily.

I expected them to say something back but they didn't. They just kept staring at me, creepily.

I sniffled again and wiped my nose, though it didn't do much because more blood just kept coming out. How have I not passed out or something?

I stood up straight and nodded awkwardly, chewing the inside of my jaw.

"Well uh, great talking to you guys. But I think I'm gonna find my way out now." I swiftly walked towards the doors to the training room, leaving drops of blood in my path from my nose and ears.

But somehow the two kids just appeared in front of me so I had to stop myself from crashing into them. My eyes widened in bewilderment and I looked back to where they originally were.

"How did you do that?" I asked skeptically.

They ignored me and started walking towards me, causing me to walk backwards. "Heed our warning, we have a prophecy you must hear. It's imperative that you know about it now." They both spoke simultaneously, making their voices sound even creepier.

I rose an eyebrow at the way they were talking as I continued to slowly back away, trying to keep a good distance between myself and them.

"Okay?" I said wearily, still puzzled at what was happening. I backed up into the wall again and cautiously eyed them, in case they were going to try something. They stopped about a few feet in front of me, still staring straight into my eyes which made me uneasy. I huffed impatiently, wanting to get out of here already.

"Get on with it, will you?" I snapped.

Out of nowhere after I said that, both of their eyes turned fully black but their postures never changed as they continued to stare into my soul. My breath hitched in my throat and I continued to watch them intently, while listening to the dripping of my blood hitting the tile floor. They both opened their mouths and started talking simultaneously again in low, chilling voices.

"Light and darkness will collide. Two will become one, and one will bring balance to the force."

Haven't I heard that somewhere before?

Another long spasm of pain shot through my head and I fell to my knees, putting my hands in my hair as if it would alleviate the ache. This one hurt the worst, it was so painful that for a moment I wanted to die for it to stop.

"Make it stop please!" I pleaded to no one in particular. My voice echoed through the room and bounced off the walls.

"Look at what you've become." Young Anakin said. His voice sounded so pure and innocent but it had a tinge of ridicule to it. I looked up and saw my reflection in a hand mirror he held in front of me. I gasped and shook my head in disbelief. It was how I looked right before I killed Elliot; I had the same yellow eyes with red rims, and my skin was almost milky pale, and every vein from my forehead to my neck protruded in a frightening purple color. And on top of that, the dark red blood was still spilling from my nose and ears, tinting parts of my skin into a scarlet hue.

"No, that's not me." I said in a shaky voice.

"Of course it is, who else would it be?" I heard my younger self say mockingly.

I stood up and whacked the mirror out of young Anakin's hand and balled my fists together, feeling the same rage as I did when I lost control and killed Elliot. Anger bubbled inside my chest until it rose up to my neck, boiling like lava in a volcano until I couldn't contain it any longer.

"SHUT UP!" I yelled.

The black-eyed children immediately vanished and I was met with the blinding light I saw in the beginning, blocking everything else that was in my view.

I inhaled sharply, as if there wasn't any oxygen left in me. My eyes opened and I found myself back in the training room with Yoda standing in front of me, looking concerned. I just stared at him panted softly, still trembling from earlier. I lifted my hand and shakily brought it to my nose and then my ears, seeing mostly dry blood on my fingertips.

"What happened?" I asked in a whisper.

He shook his head solemnly, "Correct, my suspicions were. The disturbance in the force.......you are."

My heart dropped into my stomach at his words, and my breath was caught in my throat. How could I be the disturbance in the force?

"M-me?" I asked, completely stunned.

He nodded coolly, "Tapped into the dark side on Corellia, you did. Brought much unbalance, you did."

I shook my head and stood up, fidgeting with my fingers. Did he know that I killed Elliot too? If not, then I wasn't planning on telling him.

"I'm sorry, I....I didn't mean to." I didn't really know what else to say. I could've denied it, but that probably would've made things worse. Yoda must've had a vision of me losing control on Corellia when he felt the unbalance, but I'm hoping that's the only thing he saw. I don't need another problem added to the list after what I just went through.

He hummed and walked over to me, "Important now, it is not. A prophecy, you have heard? Hm?"

I nodded slowly, confused on how he knew that. But then I remembered that he was the one looking into my mind so he must've seen everything that happened.

"It was: Light and darkness will collide. Two will become one, and one will bring balance to the force."

I actually thought about the words now that I've said them out loud.

"Wait, isn't this the prophecy about Anakin? How one will bring balance to the force?" I questioned, doing air quotes for the last part.

Yoda shook his head and gave me a serious look, "Yes, but, wrong about the prophecy, we were."

My eyes widened in perplexity, "What do you mean?"

He sighed, "The Chosen One, Skywalker is. But, so are you."

I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms, "What—how can there be two Chosen One's? And why me?"

He shrugged, "The light, Skywalker is. The darkness, you are. Together, you will become one and bring balance to the force." He said, like it was the most obvious thing ever.

I, on the other hand, was blown away with everything I was hearing. How could he just casually say that 'I'm the darkness' in this super vague prophecy? And how is he so sure that he's even right about it? Also, Anakin and I will bring balance to the force together? I had so many questions that spun in my head, making me dizzy. But then something else clicked in my head.

"Together we're going to save the Galaxy from this war!"

"Two will become one, and one will bring balance to the force."

So that's why I had that vision. It was trying to remind me of this prophecy. But obviously, I was clueless at the time. I guess it makes sense but it's all still a lot of heavy information to process.

"Wait but how would you know that I'm the other Chosen One?"

He shrugged again, "Had a feeling, I did. When you two were separated for a month, grew, the disturbance did. But together, the disturbance subsides."

When he said that, I realized why I was 'the darkness'. When Anakin and I were apart, literally and figuratively, I felt this darkness in the background that was slowly consuming me. And when he said he needed a break from me, that's when it broke from the surface. The darkness in me was always there, but it only came out recently because Anakin and I have never distanced ourselves from each other until now. Yoda probably meant physical separation, but I knew that it was also the emotional separation that caused this.

I took a step back shook my head, "I can't do this right now. This is too much. I—I need to think about all of this."

Does this all mean that Anakin and I are meant to be together? Or does it just mean together in general? A part of me hoped it was the first one but that was probably a long shot. Besides, it would probably crush his delicate pride if he found out he had to share the Chosen One title.

Yoda nodded his head, "Agree, I do. Take a meditation week, you will. Discuss this with the Council, I must."

He gave me a quick nod and picked up his cane, then left me alone in the training room. I scoffed in complete disbelief. He really just did that. He brought me here, made my nose and ears bleed from putting me through a harrowing vision, told me I was 'the darkness' and the disturbance in the force, and then left. And now he expects me to just be okay with it?

"Unbelievable." I muttered while putting on my robe and pulling my hood up.

Now that I think about it, the meditation week doesn't sound so bad. I could use a break from, well, life. But I wondered what would happen when I come back.

I sighed, not wanting to think about the stupid prophecy anymore.

I trudged out of the room, not bothering to clean myself up because I really didn't care. I was so tired; mentally, physically, and emotionally. I know Yoda has my best interest at heart but he really added a new layer of stress today. As I walked down the halls, some Jedi gave me concerned looks but didn't say anything because I paid no attention to them and kept a somewhat fast pace. I got to my quarters and cleaned myself off in the shower, not washing my hair. Then I got dressed in new clothes and quickly packed my things in a bigger backpack, because I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

I left the Temple without saying goodbye to anyone, and hopped in the first speeder I saw. I knew who I was going to, and hopefully she would let me stay with her for just a week. We were good friends; I had never done this but we were friendly enough that I think she'd throw me a bone this one time.

I trekked to her quarters in the Senate building after going through some security, who let me through because I was a Jedi. I made it outside her door, taking a deep breath. I pressed me finger to one of the buttons beside the door, which made a beeping sound to indicate that I was outside. I heard shuffling footsteps, and the sound of more buttons being pushed that eventually opened the door. The woman in front of me looked surprised to see me, but then she smiled sweetly. As always, she looked gorgeous without even trying.

She stepped out of the doorframe and hugged me, "(y/n)! What can I do for you?"

I smiled and hugged back, "Hey Padmé."

(a/n): Chapter 16 done! I hope you all liked it and that it all made sense but basically, (y/n) and Anakin are the Chosen One's. And together, it is prophesied that they will bring balance to the force. But when they're distanced, there is only unbalance
