(y/n)'s POV
Light seeped in through the windows, I stayed in the bed for a moment longer taking in the view of the land outside. The sun shined on the grass creating green sparkles and the sky was a beautiful blue with minimal clouds. I slept soundly last night, despite being chained to the bed. But this was the first time since my time on Coruscant where I got to sleep in a bed and not chained to a wall.

I had dreams of Anakin of seeing his face again, staring into those ocean eyes and feeling his lips in mine. My heart ached, I missed him so much.

I heard my door open and a woman entered. I sat up to greet her and she nodded without a word. I sighed, I was used to them not talking to me. I understood they were too afraid. They didn't know me and they didn't understand why I was getting special treatment.

She unlocked my chain from the bed and put a dress in front of me. I was a little surprised it wasn't a slave uniform but I wasn't going to complain Id much rather wear this. It was a short sun dress that hung off the shoulders with flowers that reached my mid thigh.

I fixed my hair into a ponytail and walked out of the door. As expected, a guard was there waiting to take me to Damon.

I walked into the throne room with Duke, the guards name which I learned during our small walk. He gently held onto my chain, not trying to hurt me, all the guards are gentle with me now ever since the incident at the arena yesterday.

Damon looked up from papers in his hands when I entered the room, "Good morning love, sleep well?"

"Yes I did." I bowed to him.

"Good, breakfast is in the hall if you're hungry but I must tend to a.. meeting." He smiled and I knew this 'meeting' was him torturing some poor soul. During my time chained to the wall I could hear their screams echo to where I was. I felt sick just thinking about it. "We'll have lunch together afterwards anything you want, I'll let you decide." I nodded in response.

"I have a request sir." I stated and he tilted his head with curiosity.

"And what might this request be?"

I looked to the ground nervously, "I want to spend some time in the gardens. I want to pick flowers and spend time in the sun." The flowers would remind me of Anakin and the only reason Ive survived here so long is the thought of him.

He stood up and walked to me and I started to feel afraid as he got closer. He raised his hand and I flinched thinking he was gonna hurt me but instead I felt him touch the collar. I looked down and he removed the chain, still leaving the collar on. He handed the chain to one of the guards next to him, "Put this in her room." He demanded and the guard nodded. He turned his attention back to me, "Pick a nice bouquet for the table." He kissed my cheek and turned away back to his chair and I stood there shocked at his gesture. "Oh and love?" He spun and sat on his throne.

"Yes?"

"If you so much as step one inch off this property line, that collar of yours will shock you dead." He threatened with a smile, there he is. He couldn't be kind for too long.

"Understood." I turned and rushed to the gardens, excited to be outside.

Anakin's POV
Obi-Wan, Padmé, and I walked up the steps to the palace. This planet was really beautiful but as I got closer to the entranced the palace I had an uneasy feeling. Like this place housed pure evil.

"Oh my god." Padme gasped as she looked up and we saw a flayed body hanging from a balcony.

This man was sick.

Obi-Wan grabbed her and pulled her head down so she couldn't see the body anymore and we hurried to the entrance. Poor Padme wasn't used to seeing these things like we were.

I was anxious, I was getting closer to her, I could feel it. I was scared, I wasn't sure what condition she would be in and I was afraid I would lose all sense and kill everyone inside if they so much as put one hair out of place.

There were guards posted at the entrance, "What is your business here?" One of them asked.

"We're from Ryloth, your king is expecting us." Obi-Wan answered and I saw the man nod with realization.

"Follow me." He lead us into the palace and walked us through a corridor. My eyes roamed everywhere, looking for her, hoping I would see her. We entered a huge room that looked big enough to be a ballroom. And there was a throne at the very end on a platform. "Wait here, he's in a meeting."

"Of course." Obi-Wan nodded and the man left the room.

A few minutes passed and I was beginning to become impatient. I just wanted to see her, to know she was okay. "If he's not here in the next few minutes Obi-Wan I'm tearing the palace apart looking for her." I debated pulling my weapon out that was hidden in my boot and doing just that.

"Patience Anakin, if they find out who we are whose to say they won't go straight to her and use her against us?" He scolded me, "Or worse, they kill her and then us." He crossed his arms over his chest, he was just as frustrated as I was and I was only frustrating him more.

I sighed and leaned on the wall.

A few moments later we heard a door to the side burst open and in walked a shirtless man covered in blood. (GIF ABOVE)(If it shows up)

I felt uneasy at the sight of him and I felt Padme tense up next to me. Obi-Wan on the other hand looked calm and collected.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I forgot you were coming." He shrugged with a smirk.

"No need for apologies your highness, I'm Ewan Tibben." He gestured towards me, "This is my partner Hayden Starkiller and his slave Natalie Sultzer."

"Pleased to meet you, as you already know I'm Damon Scholath." The man turned and walked towards his throne, a guard handed him a cloak and he put it on, still showing his bloodied torso.

"We can wait if you'd like to wash up your highness." Obi-Wan stated and the man chuckled.

"Does the sight of blood make you uneasy?" A smirk playing on his lips.

"No my lord."

"Then there's no problem." He leaned in his chair and rested his head on his hand.

"I suppose not, we've brought a gift for you."

"Let's see this gift." He responded looking bored with us. I was beginning to get angry at his arrogance.

"Hayden?" My master looked to me and I grabbed Padme pulling her forward. I could feel her being slightly afraid but I knew she could handle this. She'd do anything for (y/n).

"We gift you this slave, she is our finest." I pulled her cloak off and she shuddered from the cold air hitting her body.

Scholath leaned forward narrowing his eyes at her. He stood up and walked up to her and placed a hand on her chin, turning her head in every direction like he was inspecting her. "Beautiful slave." He commented dropping his hand, "But I don't want her." I heard Padme let out a sigh of relief.

"Is there something wrong with her my lord?" I asked.

"No I just don't want another slave at the moment. I already have the finest." He chuckled, was he referring to (y/n)? "Speaking of, Duke." He turned to the guard behind him. "Get my love, she's been gone long enough."

"Yes sir."

His love? He better not be referring to (y/n) or I really will tear this place apart.

"So you gentleman wanted to discuss slave trafficking operations?" He questioned scrunching his face like that's the last thing he wanted to do.

"Yes my lord." My master responded.

"How about over dinner?" The king suggested, "I have business to attend to right now but you're more than welcome to roam the palace and if you plan to stay the night just let the guards know and we'll have the slaves fix you up something."

"Sounds perfect my lord." Obi-Wan smiled and shook hands with the king.

The door opened, "Ah my love how was the garden?" I turned my attention to who he was speaking to and I gasped when I saw her. She looked so beautiful in that dress, but she had on a slaves collar. She didn't look up at any of us, instead she kept her eyes focused on him.

"Beautiful." She smiled softly at him. I saw her eyes trail his torso, noticing the blood and she looked uneasy. She slowly lifted a bouquet that was in her hands, "A bouquet just as you requested." I noticed the flowers were the exact same as the one I placed in her ear that day in the temple gardens.

"It's lovely," he grabbed it from her, "You," he pointed to a guard, "Get a slave and have them put these in water."

She still never looked at us her eyes were now to the floor almost like she was afraid to look around the room. What did he do to you.. My eyes trailed her body looking for anything that wasn't suppose to be there and that's when I saw them.. the marks on her upper chest, her shoulder, her arms, and even down the right side of her face. I felt myself boil with anger and I was having a hard time not killing this man right here and now.

"Darling say hello to our guests," He grabbed her arm and I resisted the urge to cut it off. She finally looked up to us now that she was given permission and her eyes widened and I saw tears start to form.

"Hello." Her voice cracked as she looked at each of us. Padme next to me looked like she was about to cry too at the sight of her best friend and Obi-Wan felt tense, probably noticing her injuries as I have.

None of us said anything as our eyes were fixated on her. We wanted to take her now and run but with that collar on her neck, she would die the second we got out of those doors.

"Stunning isn't she?" He grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her close to place a kiss on her cheek, his eyes never leaving mine. Like he was showing us that she was his. She grimaced under his touch but he didn't seem to notice. "I plan to marry her." Her eyes widened as she turned to look at him with a surprised expression.

Yeah, I'm gonna kill him. I'm definitely gonna kill him. The second I get her to safety it's gonna happen. They better start planning his funeral now.

No one is marrying her except me.

I felt Padmé grab my arm In an effort to calm me, she must know seeing another man on (y/n) is throwing me over the edge.

"Congratulations my lord." Obi-Wan said reluctantly.

"Thanks, now if you'll excuse us, I promised her lunch." He put his arm around her and pulled her out of the room. She looked over her shoulder to glance at us one last time before being pulled out of sight.

"He's hurting her.." Padmé whimpered next to me.

"I know." My master sighed and leaned against the wall as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"What are we going to do?" I asked him, my voice cracking.

"I don't know. I expected her to be chained to a wall or something with hardly any supervision. The collar on her neck makes things difficult and the fact that he keeps her around him all the time is even more difficult. We're gonna have to stay the night and figure out a way to get the collar off of her before anything else." He stoked his beard, "He must have the key and we need to figure out a way to get her alone."

"I think I'll be able to," Padmè assured, "I'm a slave, he won't see me as a threat. Maybe one of you can suggest that her and I spend time together while you three discuss business."

"That could work." Obi-Wan paced around the room in thought. "I guess we'll just have to wait till dinner then."

(y/n)'s POV
DINNER TIME

I can't believe they're here. They found me, they actually found me. I started to finally have hope again. I was currently changing outfits for dinner, he left me a long champagne dress on the bed.

I can't believe Damon said he was planning to marry me. I guessed that was his intention, but to say that in front of Anakin.. he looked like he was gonna kill him on the spot.

Anakin.. it felt so good to see him, I almost started to cry. I wanted to run into his arms and kiss him. I wanted him to hold me and never let me go again. Which is exactly what's gonna happen when I'm free, I will hold him and never let go. I just need to figure out a way to get the key for this damn collar.

Damon requested for me not to have the chain off for tonight for dinner. So I walked freely next to Duke who was leading me into the dining hall. I entered the hall and everyone was already seated, Damon was having a conversation with obi-wan about the 'slave trafficking' operations. All their attention turned to me and Damon stood up, "Come sit next to me love." He pulled the chair next to him out and I did as I was told. My eyes found Anakin who was looking at me with a broken expression.

Anakin's POV
Her eyes met mine and my heart broke, she looked beautiful, but also sad, weak, and tired.

A slave woman poured water into my cup, "You shouldn't stare at her." She whispered, probably to not get the kings attention who was in deep conversation with Obi-Wan.

"I'm sorry?" I questioned her.

She got a little closer to my ear, "He is awfully possessive over her, he killed one of his own guards yesterday for being a little too rough with her. And flayed a slave man today who he believed looked at her for a second too long." So that's whose blood he had on him earlier...

"Thanks for telling me." I nodded and she backed away to pour water into Padmé's cup.

(y/n)'s POV
I finished my dinner quietly. Anakin glanced at me a few times and each time Damon pulled me closer causing him to look away.

"Thank you for your hospitality my lord, this meal was amazing." Obi-Wan fake praised the king.

"Anything for my allies." He took a sip of his water.

"Why don't us three men continue this conversation in your study," Anakin suggested, "I'll leave my slave with yours."

"Sure." Damon stood up, grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on it. I gave him my fake smile and Anakin rolled his eyes at the gesture. "I'll come find you when we're done." I nodded and he left the room leaving only me and Padmé.

The second the door closed behind them we both stood up and ran into a hug. I sobbed into her shoulder and she squeezed me tightly. "I've missed you so much." I cried and she used her hand to rub my back.

"I've missed you too," she pulled a way from me and gave me a sad look, "What did he do to you?"

"Up until yesterday, I was chained to a wall. He called it 'obedience conditioning' he cut me, stabbed me, choked me, and burned me until I became submissive." I used my hand to wipe my tears away, "He made me watch as he fed slaves to Gundarks.. Padme I'm so afraid, I've never been more afraid of anyone. He's pure evil. He murdered his own father just to have a throne."

"(Y/n) I'm so sorry, but we're here now and we're gonna get you out. But we need to find the key for this." She tapped on the collar. "Or you're dead and you dying is not an option."

"I can get it, he keeps it in his night stand." I sighed knowing I would have to go into his room tonight. He keeps it locked all day so the only time I can get in there would be at night when he's there.. "I'll tell him I want to stay with him tonight and I'll figure it out from there."

She gave me a concerned look, "(y/n) he hasnt..." she trailed off not wanting to say the word.

I shook my head, "No he hasn't touched me like that. Just the occasional peck on the cheek and once on the lips."

She sighed with relief, "Thank the force, Anakin would have gone ballistic."

I gave a small smile, "How is he doing, I know seeing me like this must be hard on him."

"He's... trying." she shook her head, "He has such a temper, I had to stop him multiple times from just killing everyone here. And the marriage announcement, oh my god I thought he was gonna have a stroke."

"Yeah that took me by surprise too. Good thing it won't come to that, hopefully we'll be gone tonight."

She nodded, "Just get that key."

Twenty minutes passed and we sat at the table talking about things I've missed on Coruscant and I went into more detail about my torture and she cried a little at my stories.

The door opened causing us to stand up and the three men walked into the room. Damon headed straight for me, "Let's put you in your room."  Over his shoulder I could see Anakin watching us. I really hoped he would know that what I'm about to say is part of a plan and not get too upset.

"Actually Master I was wondering if maybe I could stay in your room with you tonight?" I asked nervously and Damon's eyes lit up.

"You don't even need to ask." He grabbed me and we began to leave the room, "Have a goodnight gentlemen I know I'm going to."

We walked past Anakin and he was glaring at us with a cold stone expression, I knew he was angry. Without Damon seeing I mouthed the words 'I love you' which caused Anakin's expression to soften.

We left the room and headed down the corridor to Damon's room. He fiddled with his keys before opening the door and guiding me inside.

**TRIGGER WARNING**
(I'm not going to have them have sex, that's strictly for Anakin! But there's is going to be slight touching so if you're not comfortable with that or if it will make you angry you can go ahead and skip)

I needed to put on a really good show. I was going to do some things I wasn't going to be proud of but it needed to be done. "Lay on the bed for me." I put my hand on his chest and lightly pushed him. He listened and walked backwards until he reached the edge of the bed and I pushed him so he was laying down.

I swallowed nervously as I crawled on top of him, his hungered eyes watching me the entire time, "You're driving me crazy love." I straddled him and brought my head down and kissed him. He seemed to enjoy it but this was hell for me. I lifted myself back up and he groaned, "Why'd you stop?"

I tugged at the collar, "I'm sorry, this was hurting me. We can't take it off, just for an hour?" I rubbed my hands on his chest and he moaned at my touch. "I'll be a good girl master." I gave him puppy dog eyes and he seemed to be debating on removing it. He glanced towards his night stand and for a second I thought he was gonna go for it.

"What's to stop you from using your force juju on me?" He brought his hands behind his head to use them as a pillow and he stared up at me.

"Obedience." I used my fingers and removed the buttons from his shirt revealing his chest. I trailed my hand down his torso leading to his.. you know. But I stopped before I got there.
**TRIGGER OVER**

He sighed and pointed his finger in face, "Fine, but if you try anything I'll put you in the pit." He reached over to his nightstand and pulled out the key. He placed it inside the collar and removed it. I felt the force again, for the first time since I've been here. It felt good, I missed it. He placed his hands on
