(y/n)'s POV
I placed my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming. I watched as Piett fell to the floor and groaned in pain. At least he wasn't dead. I couldn't tell where he was shot, so I don't know if he has a lot of time or not.

The trooper took their helmet off and threw it to the side.

Adam.

I ducked into the bathroom to try and hide.

Anakin he's here

I really hope he gets here before I get a blaster shot to the face. I doubt that's something he can heal with his force juju.

"(y/n)." He sung my name in a sadistic tone, showing just what his true intentions were, "I know you're in here." His voice was stern now and I heard footsteps as he walked around the room. First I heard him open the closet, then I heard as he got on his knees and checked under the bed, "Where are you bitch!" He yelled as he stood up. His footsteps were getting louder, he was coming closer to the bathroom. I held my hand to me to silence my breathing, hoping he would take a peak and not hear or see me since I was ducked down by the sink. But of course, that was not the case, "There you are." He stepped in front of me and grabbed onto my hair to pull me to my feet.

"Let me go!" I shouted as I tried getting myself out of his grip, "He's going to kill you when he finds you." I growled in anger, even though I was filled with fear.

He chuckled, "I don't care, just as long as he doesn't have you." He pulled out a blade and held it in front of my face. I prefer the blaster, that would hurt less, "I loved you so much (y/n), I just wished you weren't fucking a psychopath."

I eyed the blade in fear, damn it Anakin where are you? "Like you're any better?" I breathed out with a shaky voice, never taking my eye from the weapon in his hand.

He shook his head rapidly like a mad man, "No but I am better. I would never hurt you the way he does." Flashback to the hangar when he tried choking me to death, but okay Adam, whatever you say, "He leaves all these bruises on your body, he's abusing you my love." He spoke with tears in his eyes, I held back a gag when he called me love. He's so much more crazier than I thought.

I chuckled, "Oh Adam, he's not abusing me. He's fucking me like a god. Something you'll never be able do." I snapped with a look of disgust on my face.

I'm doing that thing again where I get too bold in the face of danger.

His face grew angrier than I've ever seen it, "You whore!" He raised the knife and I flinched as I closed my eyes. But when it never came, I slowly opened my eyes to see him in Anakin's grip.

Anakin's/Vader's POV
I gripped his wrist with one hand, the one holding the knife, and his neck with the other. I was boiling over with how angry I was right now. This is the second time today that he's almost taken her away from me, "Drop the knife before I rip out your arm." I threatened. He opened his hand, so the knife fell to the floor. I pulled him out of the bathroom and pushed him up against a wall, "Adam, Adam, Adam," I chuckled, "I've been thinking all day about how I was going to kill you."

I finally came up with the perfect way.

I let go of his wrist and placed my hand on his chest, still keeping my other arm on his neck. I held his hands down by his sides with the force, so he wouldn't ruin my concentration, "You tried to take my heart away from me, so it's only fitting that I do the same to you," I smiled devilishly as his eyes grew wide, "Now do me a favor and don't move. I've never done this before, so I need to concentrate," Now I can't exactly rip his heart out, it would never get through the rib cage, but I can crush it, "It's very hard to manipulate the force around things you can't see, but not impossible." I smiled more as I looked into his fear filled eyes. I began to focus on the force that surrounds his beating heart. I slowly started to close my hand, just to test it out. He began shouting, thus confirming that I was successful.

Sidious would be proud of me.

"Tell me how bad it hurts," I closed my hand more and he shouted in pain as tears fell from his eyes, "I said tell me." I growled as I closed my hand more, it's like I can feel his heart in my hand.

"Fuck you!"  He spat in my face, bold move. Now I'm more pissed.

I dropped the hand that was 'holding' his heart and he visibly sighed with relief when the pain was gone. I wiped my face clean and brought my hand back up, his face twisted into one of pain again, "Bad idea." I squeezed my hand shut slowly, he cried at the top of lungs until I heard a pop. Then his head dropped down to the side. I dropped him to the floor and eyed him like the garbage he was. I've been wanting to kill him for so long.

Then I remembered that she was here. I turned to look at her and she was standing in the doorway of the bathroom, she watched the whole thing. I stayed out of her mind, afraid of what she would be thinking about me right now.

Is she going to be afraid of me? Is she still going to love me; even though she just saw how much of a monster I really am? "Are you okay?" I finally spoke, breaking the silence. She nodded as she slowly walked towards me, "Please don't be afr-" She cut me off when she hugged me. I stiffened for a moment, she wasn't afraid of me? I quickly hugged her back.

"Oh no Piett!" She pushed herself away from me and ran to my captain who was on the floor by the door, "Are you okay Piett; can you hear me?" She asked as she shook him a little.

I walked over to him, he was alive. I could still feel his life force even though it was slightly weak, "I got it." I moved her away and I placed my hand on him. I watched as his burned flesh on his chest healed. Adam had missed his heart by an inch. Luckily.

He opened his eyes and looked at me. I heard (y/n) sigh with relief, "Did you save me?" He asked in a surprised tone.

I nodded, "Don't ever mention this to anyone. It was a one time thing." I reached my hand out to him and he accepted. I brought him up with me and he pulled me into a hug. What the fuck?

He quickly let go and back away, "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I did that. I'm just grateful my lord." He spoke quickly and slightly panicked. He also avoided all eye contact with me.

I eyed him in disbelief, "Don't ever do that again Piett." I shook my head and I heard (y/n) chuckling next to me.

I gave him one last glare before turning and facing her, "I know I already asked this, but are you okay?" I stepped closer to her and placed a hand on her cheek.

She smiled up at me, "I am now that you're here." She responded and my chest tightened. How could she not look at me differently?

"You still love me after what you just saw?" I questioned, I felt like I was prying. But I had a hard time believing anyone can love someone like me.

She nodded, "I already knew what was going to happen when you found him. So it doesn't matter to me. He's gone now." She lifted her hand up and brushed her fingers through my hair as she smiled.

How did a man like me; find a woman like her? "I love you." I gazed into her (y/e/c) eyes. She was incredible.

"I love you too." She stood on her toes and pressed her lips to mine. I gripped her face and pushed her near the bed.

"Woah wait, I'm still here." Piett spoke up. Good thing he did, I forgot he was here. (y/n) has an unintentional habit of dimming the rest of the galaxy around me, so my only focus, is her.

She broke away from the kiss and chuckled, "Dont worry Piett, we weren't going to do anything." She responded and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"We weren't?"

Now it was her turn to narrow her eyes at me, "If you think I'm going to have sex with you when there is a dead body in here," She gestured to Adam, "Then you really are crazy." She folded her arms across her chest as she shook her head at me.

I shrugged, "I can get it taken ou-What is that?" I pointed behind her to my headboard. There was a piece of the corner missing, along with burnt edges.

Her eyes widened, instantly letting me know that she was guilty, "Piett did it." She blurted out.

"No it wasn't, it was you!" I heard him shout back to her. I just stood back from them, so I could watch this play out.

She shook her head, "Well I have to blame someone, so I'm blaming you."

He narrowed his eyes at her, "Why me; why not just blame the dead guy?" He gestured to Adam.

She looked over to him then back to Piett, "It was Adam." She turned back to look at me, like I didn't just watch that whole interaction. Also like I can't see into both of their minds, I already know what really happened.

I shook my head, "Piett you're getting this fixed." I pointed my thumb behind me to the board.

"Why me?" He whined and I narrowed my eyes at him for even questioning me, "It was her who did it."

I can't even be mad anymore, they are children, "And who gave her the blaster in the first place; who didn't check to make sure it was set to stun?" I shook my head at him.

He sighed and threw his hands in the air, "Fine Ill fix it."

I snorted through my nose, then I remembered something. I walked over to Adam's body and searched his pockets for the crystal. I pulled it out and brought it over to (y/n), "Do you still want this?" I asked.

I can tell she did, but not this one. Because it was from him. The thought of him disgusts her now and she doesn't want a reminder of him around. I didn't even need her to respond, I threw the crystal to Piett, "What is this?" He asked as he caught it.

"Kyber crystal, it'll keep me from reading your mind. I trust you enough to give you your privacy." I half-smiled, I knew he was loyal.

His eyes widened, "Did you just say that you can read my mind; like all the time?"

I nodded, "Yes all the time Piett. How is the affair going with Aubra by the way?" I asked with a smirk, his eyes widened even more.

"No way!" (y/n) looked to him with a surprised expression, "Wow she never told me anything."

I chuckled, "Anyways so you can keep that. Now I need you to do a few things; Get this body out of here so I can have a moment with my girl, call off the search, and get a ship ready for the morning." I instructed him.

"Of course, but where are you going sir?" He asked and (y/n) looked up to me with a sad expression, thinking I was about to leave.

I was, but she's coming with me, they both are. She wants a crystal so I'm going to get her what she wants.

"We're going to Ilum."
