Anakin almost fell over from where he was standing. He felt a major disturbance in the Force. Obi-wan grabbed him.
"You sensed it too, didn't you," Obi-wan said.
Anakin nodded. "I could hear people crying out for help, and then suddenly falling silent,"
Anakin replied, seeming out of breath.
Obi-wan helped Anakin to a seat. Anakin tried to grasp on who was causing this pain, and why.
"Master, do you know who's causing this?" Anakin asked.
Obi-wan bit his lip. Anakin looked at him.
"Master. Do you know who's causing this?" Anakin asked again more forcefully.
Suddenly, Anakin found the cause. He examined the person. He could only see their back, but whoever they were, they were about to slaughter a two-year-old. He wanted to quickly leave his dorm and save the child, but before he could even stand up, the child was dead. Anakin seemed to burn with rage, but it was all washed away when he saw the face.
Atathum.
Anakin practically hit the floor that instant. His mind flashed back to where he was. He couldn't breath. Tears pursued to fall off his cheeks onto the floor, and his vision blurred.
"Master," Anakin asked shaklee, "Did you know?"
"I did, I wanted to tell you, but I was worried about how you would react," Obi-wan replied.
"You never told me that Atathum was struggling like this, and instead you were frustrated at him?" Anakin asked again, his voice breaking.
"I didn't know, Anakin. If I did, I would've counseled him about it."
Anakin turned towards his master, still unable to see him.
"You created him; you created his sith. This is all your fault, Obi-wan!" Anakin blamed, trying to stand up.
"Anakin, I believe--"
"No 'I believes!' You never believed in him! You never believed in Atathum, and you were just too blind to see the fact that Atathum is just as important as me! In front of everyone, you are a well respected Jedi, but alone, you are a worthless, evil, lying Sith!"
Obi-wan held up his hand to slap Anakin. Anakin grabbed his hand.
"Don't tell me I'm wrong, master," Anakin said between gritted teeth.
Obi-wan stopped, and moved his hand down. Anakin lowered as hand as well.
Their door was suddenly thrown open. Anakin and Obi-wan both turned to see who it was.
It was Atathum.
"I've been looking for you, Skywalker," Atathum said, walking into the room.
"What do you want, Ata--" Anakin began.
"The name's Auric."
"I'm not going to use that, Atathum."
"I suggest you should. I mean, if you don't want to die."
"You're my best friend, and I am not going to call you something that you're not."
"Don't you know? I was created from all the emotions packed inside my head. All the bad that I've been waiting to unleash, and they are all. Against. You."
"What did I do to you? If there was something I did please tell me," Anakin grabbed his saber.
"You became the Chosen One! I was the Chosen One until you came. Everyone feared me until you came along with your "insanely high" midichlorian count. It actually is just a tiny bit higher than mine. Suddenly, everyone was crowding around you, only fearing me when I got angry, which was hardly ever, while everyone was afraid of not being friends with you. I felt abandoned, and when you became friends with me, I was fine with it. We were like brothers, and all the while, I was hoping that one day you might return home severely injured and die of your wounds. Sure, it would be noble, but then I would be the Chosen One once more."
"Atathum, why didn't you tell me? I didn't choose to be the Chosen One, if you told me this, I could've asked the council to let you be the Chosen One."
"There is a flaw in your theory, you are alive. As long as you are alive, you are the Chosen One."
"Actually, Atathum, both theories are flawed."
"Exactly how?"
"I can only die once I have brought balance to the Force."
Anakin dodged Atathum's swing. He ignited his lightsaber. Obi-wan ignited his. Atathum dueled both of them with impressive skill. Suddenly, Atathum kicked Obi-wan in the chest, sending him to the back of the room, giving Atathum the advantage. He attacked Anakin with both of his lightsabers. Suddenly, Anakin's lightsaber was broken. He did everything he could to dodge Atathum. He felt the heat of the blade slide right by his face. Atathum used the lightsaber and jabbed it into his left shoulder. Anakin cried out. The heat of the blade embedding into his skin didn't help either. Atathum went to strike him down. Anakin moved his hands, and Atathum was pushed back.
Anakin put his hand up to his shoulder and felt the large indent in his shoulder. He looked at Atathum, already standing up, ready to lunge. Anakin was ready to fight back, even if were to lose.
"Stay away!" a voice echoed.
Atathum and Anakin turned towards the door.
Lilak and Sebellrae were standing there, equipped with lightsabers.
"Run, Anakin," Sebellrae said, using the Force.
"Why? I want to help Atathum. I won't leave him."
"If you are dead, than the prophecy is false, and we wouldn't want Atathum to think he  succeeded in killing you."
"Alright."
Anakin moved behind the girls. They walked to face Atathum.
"You'll die if you're not careful," Anakin said.
"Go."
Anakin turned, helped Obi-wan, and they escaped from his room in hopes of surviving. Anakin was tearing up again.
"Why couldn't he tell me?" Anakin asked when the left the temple.
"I don't know, Anakin," Obi-wan replied as they hopped in a transport, "but we might as well go on a mission while we're at it, now."
"Alright, master."
They sat down in the transport. Anakin looked out the window, not even bothering on how far they were going. He felt the ship take off, and watched as the planet formed beneath him, and suddenly turned into streaks of light. None of that mattered anymore.
He messed up, and he knew that.
