You grab Anakin's arm as he walks down the hall. "Don't do this," you cry. "Please Anakin, don't do this." He shakes you off and continues to walk toward the room where the Padawans are hiding. Anakin had just turned to the Dark side. You didn't want to believe it, but you had just heard Chancellor Palpatine name Anakin Darth Vader. You run past Anakin and turn around, igniting your lightsaber and blocking his path. Pain fills his eyes as he sees you there, standing against him. "(Y/N), get out of the way," he says softly.

"No, Anakin, please listen to me. Chancellor Palpatine is using you. As soon as he gets what he wants, he'll cast you aside in favor of someone new, just like he did to all his other apprentices!" Anakin doesn't pay attention to your warning. Instead, he ignites his lightsaber.

"(Y/N), get out of the way," he says again, louder this time.

"Anakin, stop! This is madness. You can't possibly be okay with murdering Padawans!"

"It's time for the Jedi to die (Y/N). Please try to understand."

"I'm a Jedi," you scream at him. "Are you going to kill me?"

"I might have to (Y/N). You're making this very difficult for me."

"Because I don't want you to die. I love you Anakin." You let the secret fall from your lips. Jedi weren't supposed to have attachments to other people, but you couldn't help falling in love with him. Pain shone in his eyes.

"I love you too (Y/N). I've loved you since I first saw you. But you must understand."

"No. I can't Anakin."

"I dreamed I saw you die. I can save you (Y/N). But only through the Dark Side." Tears well up in your eyes. He was doing this all for you, he loved you, but somehow this only made you feel worse. His slip in judgement, his turn to the Dark Side, was all your fault.

"Please Anakin. Don't do this," you beg. Anakin shook his head.

"I must. I'm sorry (Y/N)." You scream and attack him, tears streaming down your face. Anakin blocks your strike with his lightsaber. You continue to attack him, preferring to see him dead than following Chancellor Palpatine blindly. He blocks every strike, but makes no move to take the offense. Instead, he kicks your feet out from under you and you fall to the floor, dropping your lightsaber. He picks it up and deactivates it. Anakin deactivates his lightsaber and tucks it into his belt. He helps you up, and tucks your saber into your belt. "I love you (Y/N)," he says, and kisses you roughly on the mouth. You close your eyes and kiss him back passionately, once, twice, three times, each kiss long and rough like it will be your last. After what feels like only a few seconds, but was in reality five minutes, Anakin lets you go. "Run (Y/N)."

"No," you whisper. "I'm not leaving until I convince you to come with me."

"Run," he says. Pain shines bright in his eyes. "Run as fast as you can and get as far away from here as possible. Hide out somewhere remote. Don't come back."

"No. I have to stay here. If you won't leave the Dark Side, people are going to need me."

"(Y/N), if you won't leave for you, leave for me. Please." Finally, you nod, putting your brave face on. You place one last kiss on Anakin's mouth, then turn and run down down the hall. You try to wipe away the tears streaming down your face, but it's all in vain. You couldn't stop it. You couldn't do anything. You failed. Not just Coruscant, the Republic, and your fellow Jedi, but the love of your life, Anakin Skywalker, or rather, Darth Vader.

You almost reach the escape pods docked in the city, but you hear footsteps behind you and Anakin's voice yelling, "(Y/N), look out!" You turn around just as a clone trooper shoots you in the stomach. You let out a cry and fall backwards. You hear a lightsaber ignite, a scream cut short, and suddenly Anakin's arms are around you, breaking your fall. His lightsaber is laying on the ground a few feet away, alongside the dead body of the clone trooper who shot you. "Anakin," you say.

"Hang on (Y/N)! Stay with me! Oh, Maker, please don't die! This is all my fault."

"Anakin," you say again.

"(Y/N)," he breaths. "Stay here. Don't leave me alone, (Y/N), I'm sorry." You kiss him to shut him up.

"I love you Ani," you whisper.

"I love you too," he whispers back. He places a kiss on your lips. It tastes like salt. You place a hand on his cheek, smile at him, and close your eyes. You inhale one last time, and let it out. You go still in Anakin's arms. He smooths back your (H/C) hair and tucks it behind your ears. Anakin places one last kiss on your forehead, and places your body in the back of an escape pod. He climbs in the pilot's seat, straps himself in, and takes off. He was done with everything. The first thing he did when he got to his new home was give you a decent burial. He never got married, never had kids, never loved anyone the way he loved you ever again.
