Anakin's POV
My hands were balled into tight fists as I stormed through the hallway to reach my destination. My body was shaking with fear and anxiety, and my head was pounding from the never ending tears, she was still missing. I along with Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Cal, the 501st, and the 419th searched for her everywhere, for nearly seven hours where I had to listen to Master Yoda's heart-breaking cries.

But she was nowhere to be found; she's just.. gone. It was so quick, and so sudden, that if it wasn't for the mass hysteria surrounding the temple in regards to her disappearance, I probably wouldn't have believed that it really happened.

The security holograms in the institution were conveniently not work around the time she was taken either. And I say taken because I know she was taken, and it was orchestrated. Although Windu and a few other members were jumping to the conclusion that she trashed her room on purpose from a mental break and ran away on her own accord, but I knew better. I know my Princess and despite the circumstances lately, she wouldn't leave like this.

I reached the door and the guards held out their hands to stop me, "Stop, you can't go in unless you have a-" I cut them off when I used the force to shove them into the walls aggressively. I could get in so much trouble for that, but I didn't fucking care anymore.

I then used it to burst open the door to the familiar red office, "Where is she?" I growled through gritted teeth as I stormed up to the Chancellors desk.

He was eyeing me with concern, then I saw his lip twitch like he wanted to smile and that told me all I needed to know, "My dear boy, please calm down. I assure you I am doing the most I can in aiding the search for miss (y/n)." He stood up from his desk and walked around, to come towards me.

He tried to place his hand on my shoulder, but I aggressively shrugged it off and backed away from him, "Something is wrong with you," I kept backing away and he furrowed his brows like he was confused, "I know you did this, I don't know why and I don't have proof, but I just know it was you." I pointed at him accusingly.

A gut feeling was telling me that he had something to do with this, I don't even need to see what's on that USB drive to know that I shouldn't trust this man. I can't think of any other person who could be involved in this.

And after what happened with Ti, my suspicions of him have only grown. I know she was trying to tell me that it was him who forced her into giving a false confession. And I always wondered why would he want that.. what could he possibly gain from it?

Then after countless nights of running it through my mind, I found the answer; it's not him who gained anything, it was (y/n), she gained her freedom. He wanted her free, which only led me to another question; why did he want her free?

But I couldn't exactly bring this up to him, what would happen to Ti if he knew I knew the truth?

He sighed while giving me a sympathetic look, "Anakin I understand you're confounded and you just want to find someone to blame, but I promise I want her back just as much as you do."

I shook my head, I wasn't confused or looking to blame. I'm following my gut,"Look, I don't care who you are, I don't care what you want or why you're here, I just want her back." My voice cracked while the water from my eyes streamed down my cheeks, "Please give her back." I was begging; I didn't care that I looked weak. I need her back, I need to know that she's okay.

He stepped a little closer to me and I watched his movements with caution, "I would love nothing more than to ease your suffering Anakin, but I don't know where she is." He shrugged with a pity-filled sigh, "And I am just a politician here to serve the republic in this time of great need, that is all. I'm afraid you're allowing your emotions to cloud your judgement."

For a moment there, he had me almost believing him, that my pain over her disappearance was really making me not see any sense. But in my heart, I knew something wasn't right here.

"You're a liar," I growled; causing his eyes to darken momentarily before switching back to a look of innocence, "I'll tell you nicely one more time," I held my hand on the handle of my weapon, "Give her back." I uttered slow and threateningly.

He eyed my movements with annoyance in his features, but then he replaced it with fear, fear I was having a hard time believing, "I think you better go, before you make a rash decision that you will not be able to undo." He tried walking behind his desk, but I was already blocking his path. I was about to speak again when his doors burst open and in walked multiple guards carrying electric rods, "Finally, arrest him."  He ordered as he moved away from me and before I had time to react, there was a painful jolt of electricity shooting through my body.

I fell to the floor from the pain and the last image I saw was his wrinkly old face standing over me with gut-wrenching smile. Then it slowly faded away until darkness took over and I fell into unconsciousness.

Shes mine.

I stared up at the ceiling of my prison cell as I pictured the last time I saw (y/n) through that window. It's been nearly a day now since she's gone missing, and I've been stuck in this cell for about twelve hours, or maybe more.

But I'm terrified that the image I have in my head now was the last time I was ever going to see her, and I had no idea..

"He's here under the Chancellors order-"

"Do I look like a give a fuck? Open the cell." I heard a voice that was like music to my ears. I sat up from the bed and placed my feet promptly on the floor as I waited for my over-due release.

Finally, my rescuer came into view as the force shield disappeared, and he looked extremely annoyed with me, "Took you long enough Obi-Wan." I placed my hands on my knees for momentum and pushed myself up to my feet.

He shook his head with a sigh, "I barely found out you were in here less than an hour ago." He stepped forward and smacked me over the head, "You threatened the Chancellor with your lightsaber Anakin; seriously?" He groaned as he waved his hand for me to follow him out of the cell, and I did while I soothed the area where he smacked me.

I picked up my pace so I was now walking shoulder to shoulder with him as we headed for the elevator, "He's not who he says he is Obi-Wan, there's something off about him. I think he's a danger to the republic."

We reached the elevator and I pressed the button while Obi-Wan frustratingly rubbed his forehead, he looked extremely exhausted, "He's the Chancellor Anakin. Do you have any real proof to your accusations and not just hunches?" He finally spoke as he dropped his hand down when the elevator dinged and the doors slid open.

We walked inside and I sighed sadly, "No, well at least not yet."I tapped my foot impatiently as the mechanical box slowly descended to the ground floor, "Bur I just know he has something to do with this Obi-Wan, please believe me." I turned to face him with a look of pleading.

He met my gaze and I finally noticed his red eyes and the purple bags that rested under them, "Do you think you could just be allowing your emotions to get the better of yo-"

"No!" I cut him off more aggressively than I meant to. I cleared my throat and calmed my demeanor before speaking again, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to shout, but do you remember what you told me as a kid, when I was getting bullied by the other younglings?" I asked and he stayed silent. It's possible he didn't remember, but they're words that I have never forgotten, so I decided to remind him, "You said you would always have my back, that no matter what, I will never be alone in anything because I'll have you."

Realization flashed through his eyes and he half-smiled, "Yes I remember."

I stepped closer to him and put my hand on his shoulder, "I'm asking you now to live up to your word, please have my back on this and trust me."

Without hesitation he placed his hand over mine, "Fine, but no more attacking him until we have solid proof of whatever his true intentions are. I don't think I can jailbreak you twice."

I shrugged, "I mean.. I can try, but no promises." (y/n) is still missing and I don't know if I'll be able to control myself until I have her back. Especially since he, is my number one suspect in her disappearance.

Obi-Wan chuckled, thinking I was joking, as he dropped his hand down, "You're going to be the death of me."

I smiled as I turned to face the doors that have now opened. Then my smile dropped into a deep frown knowing I was going back to the temple right now and she wouldn't be there, "How's Master Yoda doing?" I asked as I blinked my tears away.

He instantly sighed solemnly, "He's meditating; trying to search for her, but he's not having any luck and it's killing him."

I felt so bad for him, he's been having a rough few days with everything that's been going on with her. This whole situation today has devastated him, I don't think I've ever seen him so depressed before, "I feel like this is harder on him than any of us, that's his daughter." I'm even thinking of filling him in on my suspicions about the Chancellor, I believe he deserves to know.

My former Master nodded as we both got into his speeder, "He's not going to give up until he finds her."

That's one thing him and I have in common,"Neither am I."
