(y/n)'s POV
I groaned as I opened my eyes and lifted myself up off of the unfamiliar bed I was in. I was squinting due to the bright lights of the white room, well this isn't the cabin.. where the hell am I?

My eyes finally adjusted to the light and they fully opened. I was in an average sized white room that kind of reminded me of a hospital, that gives me slight PTSD. Then my eyes landed on a creature that made me jump with a scream, "What the fuck are you?" I pushed myself away from it until I was backed up against the wall. I have never seen anything like this before, is it a.. gremlin? A troll? Some weird frog species?

"Fear me do not." He walked near me with a cane. But even though he said not to fear him, I still did. I don't know who he is or what he is.

"Anakin!" I yelled for my husband, I'm so confused. The last thing I remember is going to sleep with him in the cabin. How the hell did I get here?  And where is my husband? Oh gods I hope he's okay.

"Hear you, he can not." The green thing spoke to me again as he tapped his cane on the floor and sat in a chair that wasn't far from where I was sitting.

Anakin!

I tried telepathically, but he shook his head, "Your thoughts, leave this room they can not. So hear you, he will not."

I eyed him curiously but also with confusion, "Why do you talk like that; is it some weird form of dyslexia or something?" I asked genuinely confused.

He chuckled as he shook his head, "My language it is, normal for me."

I nodded, "Okay well that's cool I guess, um," I looked behind him and around the room once more, "Where's Anakin; who are you; where am I; and is he okay?" I'm so worried that something bad has happened to him, this isn't how today was supposed to go. I could already feel the tears form in my eyes.

He sighed as he placed both hands on top of his wooden cane, "Here he is, Yoda I am, Naboo still, and yes, fine he is." He answered each one of my questions individually. Well at least it was good to here that he was okay, if I could even trust this things words.

"Can I please go to him?" I asked as tear fell down my cheek, I was scared and still extremely confused.

He shook his head, "Not yet, but soon, take you to him I will. Promise I do."

I nodded, "Why are we here; and are you going to hurt me?" I questioned with fear in my tone as I maintained my distance.

He shook his head, "Hurt you, I will not." He assured me.

I nodded feeling a bit of relief, "Okay, but you still haven't told me why I'm here."

He tilted his head at me and eyed me curiously, "Special you are, but a long story that will be."

I sighed as I sat up straight with crossed-legs, although I still kept my back up against the wall, I didn't know this creature so nor do I trust him enough to get closer, "Well it appears I have time." I just need to remain calm and wait, Anakin will come for me, he always does.

Anakins/ Vader's POV
I shook my head as I backed away from them, "No, this isn't real, you're inside of my head aren't you!" I accused Obi-Wan as I turned around so I couldn't see the figure of Ahsoka anymore, he has to be doing this. He's making me see things. I banged on the door to try and get out, "Let me out of here!" I shouted as I continued hitting the door with my metal arm. Flashbacks of my time in the Jedi detention center filled my mind, I did this same exact thing. All of this, everything, it was too much for me, I-I can't handle it. I dropped down to my knees and sobbed, "I just want my wife, I want (y/n), please just let me out." I cried as I placed my hand on the door. The feeling of being locked away again, was too much for me, I remembered how alone I felt. How alone I always felt until she walked into my life and now all I can think about is her, having her in my arms right now, so this pain would go away.

"I will," He spoke up from behind me, "Just listen to what Ahsoka has to say and I promise I'll bring her to you."

I slowly turned around and sat on the floor with my back to the door as I stared up at her glowing figure, "Are you actually real?" I asked as I wiped the tears away. She nodded slowly, "And is what he said true, did Palpatine really kill you?" She nodded again and I leaned my head back roughly against the door. How-how can I believe her? What if she's lying because of Obi-Wan, what if this is all some plot to get me to turn my back on the one person who saved me? I looked from her to Obi-Wan, "This revelation changes nothing." I stood up from the floor to glare at him, "Wether it was him or not," I pointed to Ahsoka, "She's still dead because of you and your order. For not listening and for turning your backs on her. You still locked me away, you still abandoned me, you still kidnapped my girl, twice, then used her against me." That one is truly unforgivable, no one uses my  (y/n) against me, "Then you tried to kill me more than once and then ruined my wedding night by kidnapping me and her. She's probably terrified right now." I growled as I shook my head at him and turned away to lean my forehead against the door.

"So you're just going to run back to being Darth Vader; working under him, knowing what he's done?" He asked with disbelief in his tone and I chuckled darkly as I turned back around.

"Back? No, there is not going back to being Darth Vader, " I stepped towards him, "I am Darth Vader, he is who I always will be, he's a part of me now. And as for Palpatine," I ran my fingers through my hair, I was so lost right now. I didn't even know what to believe, "How do I know you're not lying." I glanced to Ahsoka who looked a little taken back by my accusation.

"Why would I lie?" She asked as she came closer to me but I backed away.

I shrugged as I gestured to Obi-Wan, "I don't know, why would you help him after all that he's done, did you see what he did to me?"

She sighed as she dropped her head down, "I did. But I'd rather help him than watch you continue to be tortured by the very man who manipulated you from the start." She revealed as her gaze shifted back up to me.

Manipulated me from the start? If I recall it was being locked up that tipped me over the edge and Palpatine freed me from that.

I looked at Obi-Wan, "Whose idea was it to lock me up?"

"Mace." He admitted without hesitation.

I nodded with a chuckle, "Right so, not Palpatine." I rolled my eyes.

He shook his head, "No, but it was him that requested that you didn't have any visitors, I tried to go see you, but the guards he placed kept me out." I stood there frozen for a second. He couldn't have done that, why would he? He has to be lying.

I was feeling overwhelmed all over again as I dropped my head down into my hands in frustration. This is all too much- I don't want to believe that he did that to Ahsoka. I don't want to believe that I've been manipulated or what if it's them trying to manipulate me right now? I'm so lost, I feel like fucking breaking down right now.

Even then, even if what she's saying is true, it's not like I could leave the mess I'm in, my fate has been sealed for years. I dropped back down to my knees as I kept my head in my hands.

No, I don't believe it, none of this is true, they're trying to mess with my head, "Just stop, I don't believe either of you." I cried. Palpatine was the only one that was there when the entire order left me to rot in a cell..

"Anakin please listen to us, you can't stay with him. He's hurting you and what happens when he finds out that you got married; or what if (y/n) gets pregnant again?" She questioned and I could hear her voice getting louder as she stepped closer to me, "Do you want her to die?" Those last words angered me to no end.

"DONT USE HER AGAINST ME!" I shouted in a fit of pure rage. The lights flickered, Ahsokas ghost evaporated, Obi-Wan flew against the wall aggressively, and the glass in the room cracked as multiple objects in the room crashed against it with brute force.

The entire room looked like it was hit with a bomb. I was breathing heavily as I stood up. I grabbed the chair and threw it against the glass. It cracked more. I needed to get out of here, I didn't want to listen to them anymore. They were filling my head with so many lies. I then used my metal hand to repeatedly hit it so it would finally shatter, but not without the shards cutting up the skin above the metal.

"Please don't go Skyguy, please believe me." I heard her voice again but I chose to ignore her as I crawled out of the opening, cutting my skin in multiple locations since I was still just in sweatpants. Once I was on the other side she said something that stopped me in my tracks, "Fire, it feels like all your nerves are on fire." I turned up to look at her and I knew exactly what she was talking about, "You want it to stop, but it feels never-ending, it hurts so bad that you're begging to die, but only I was the one who actually got that wish." I stared at her with tears in my eyes. She was describing what his force lightning feels like.

She wasn't lying.

I looked down to the floor, he really did it but there isn't anything I can do about it, "I'm so sorry Snips, but I'm too deep in to get out. If you've been watching, then you know this to be true. You know I can't leave, no matter how bad I've been wanting to. I just can't." I looked back up to her and now Obi-Wan was standing up and watching us.

She nodded, "Yes you can."

"No, it's too late for me. So tell me where my wife is so I can take her and go." I turned away, looking at her was too painful for me, "Please."

"But-"

"Ahsoka." I spoke sternly as I cut her off.

She sighed, "Three doors down and please don't hurt Master Yoda."

I didn't say anything else as I walked down the hallway towards her. She's all that matters right now, I couldn't allow myself to think about everything I just learned, I would drive myself insane.

Ahsokas POV
Obi-Wan sighed as he leaned his head against the wall, "It didn't work, he knows and it still doesn't make a difference."

"Not necessarily." I kept my eyes where he used to be, "He knows now, that's all that matters." I turned to face Obi-Wan, "We can't give up on him yet. He's just scared right now, give him time." I turned back to face the broken glass with a sigh, he's much more powerful than he realizes. He destroyed a room with the force, a room that is meant to keep force users at bay, when the time comes..

He will be able to kill Palpatine. I just hope he does this before anything happens to that poor girl.

Anakins/Vader's POV
I opened the door to reveal (y/n) and Yoda. I eyed her body first to make sure nothing was any different than how I left her, only to see that she was completely untouched. She looked up when the door opened and jumped up to run to me. I let out a sigh of relief once I had my arms around her, this is what I needed right now, "I knew you'd come for me." She whispered as I held her tightly, I glanced behind her to Yoda who was watching me curiously. I remembered what Ahsoka had asked of me and I decided to obey her wishes. Only because (y/n) appeared to be in good condition.

I didn't say anything to him and instead pulled away from my hug to look down at my wife, "Of course I would," I smiled as I caressed her softly, "Now let's get out of here and go home."

She nodded as she eyed my body, "Oh my god what happened to you?" She was looking at all the cuts I had on my abdomen and chest.

I shook my head, "I'll tell you on the ship, let's just leave, now." I grabbed ahold of her gently and pulled her out of the room.

"Right then left." I heard Yoda from behind me, I glanced back to look at him, "The way out, it is." I still didn't say anything to him as I held onto my girl and pulled her in the directions he gave to get out of here.

(a/n Please let me know your thoughts ♥️ I was struggling when it came to Anakin's confusion and why he would still stay with Palp, but I've re-read it almost a hundred times and I'm hoping it all makes sense haha but if there's anything that doesn't, please let me know or ask me and I can see if I can clarify it for you!
This book is barely like 60% completed sol there's still plenty to go so no one needs to worry about to ending soon 🥰)
