"How about we play a little game?" Damon was twirling a knife in his fingers as he stepped closer to me. His crazy eyes glaring into mine, "It's simply really, I like to call it 'Would you rather'" He smirked as he tapped the blade on my cheek. "If you play along I won't have to kill you."

I reluctantly nodded and I winced at the pain. My neck was soar from him constantly yanking on my chain. I was terrified at what this game would consist of, I've only been here two days and I already would prefer Dookus company than this monster.

"Perfect, now would you rather me stick a hot poker through your hand or put this knife through your eye." He raised the knife and held it a centimeter from my eye as he held a look of amusement.

Tears fell from my eyes, "Poker." I whimpered.

"Good choice." He walked to the other side of the room and brought a long metal rod that was sharp and red at the tip like he just pulled it from a fire. He grabbed my wrist and pressed it against the wall and I was sobbing from the fear of the pain. "Scream if you want, I quite enjoy it." With that being said he plunged the rod into my hand and I screamed so loud it echoed through the halls.

I shot up from my dream, it wasn't just a dream though, it was a memory. I immediately looked at my hand to see the mark that was left there, it wasn't fully healed but it was no longer painful. He didn't go through my hand all the way like expected but the burning pain was enough to get the blood curdling scream that he wanted.

I glanced to my right to see Anakin was still sleeping soundly, my sudden movements not waking him up.

I slowly pulled myself out of the bed, not to disturb him and I grabbed his robe from the hook and put it on. I left his room and made my way to mine, the hallways were empty so I wasn't worried about anyone seeing me. Once I reached my room I put on comfortable clothing then covered myself with a cloak. I exited my room and walked down the hallway passing Anakin's room.

I had someone I wanted to see.

I made my way to the prison cells where the worst of the worst were being held.

"I'm Jedi knight (y/n) (y/l/n)." I told the man at the entrance, "I need to see prisoner 31673." He nodded and gestured for me to enter the corridor. "Thank you."

I knew which one was hers before I even get there, there were two clones posted outside the cell. "Can I have a moment with the prisoner gentlemen?"

The sound of my voice caused Ventress to sit up from her bed and she glared daggers at me through the electronic shield. "Of course sir." They nodded and walked away giving us privacy. I pressed some buttons on the panel next to me causing the shield to lower so I could step inside. Her eyes darted behind me at the now open door.

"Don't even try it." I cautioned and she looked back to me with annoyance.

"I see you survived Scholath." She chuckled and leaned her back against the wall.

"Barely." I sneered through my teeth and I felt anger boil inside me. I did my best to calm myself down. "How could you do that to me? We may not have ever seen eye to eye but I didn't expect you to be that cruel."

She stood up walked to me angrily. "You killed our father!" She shouted and I had to stop myself from telling her that it wasn't me that did it but I had to keep Anakin's secret.

I tightened my fists, "Why do you even care, he never loved you." I saw pain flash through her eyes and I knew I hit a soft spot. "If anything I did you a favor, you could have been free Ventress, lived your life how you wanted to for once."

She didn't say anything she only stared at the floor as she fiddled with the force restraint cuffs. "You disgust me only the weak would turn the Jedi." She finally said as she turned her gaze back to mine.

I shook my head and sighed, "Yet I'm out there living my life while you're going to be stuck in here for the rest of your pathetic one."

Anger flashed across her face as she charged at me. I didn't flinch, I lifted my head and used the force to shove her back against the wall and she cried from the impact. "Goodbye Ventress." I turned to leave before her words caused me to stop in my tracks.

"How do you think your precious council will feel when I tell them what your little boyfriend did to me? It wasn't very Jedi like."  I turned to face her and she held a smirk. She was gonna turn Anakin in to the council, she's going to use it to blackmail me. That's why she hasn't mentioned it already. They would expel him. His life would be ruined and I couldn't let that happen.

"What do you want?" I questioned with anger.

She laughed, "You're going to get me out of here sister."

I let out a heavy sigh contemplating what to say to her but I knew there was no other way, "I'll be back tomorrow night, be ready." I left the cell and brought the shield back up.

I made my way back to my room and I had this heavy feeling in my chest. How was I going to break her out? I knew I shouldn't but if I didn't she was gonna turn in Anakin. I had to protect him at all costs.

I was trying so hard not to cry, I wanted a break from this constant emotional torture. I just wanted to be happy, care free, with my old life gone.

I knew what I was gonna have to do and It's not something I was gonna be proud of. I just hope if Anakin ever finds out, it's something he would forgive, after all I am doing it for him.

Instead of going back to my room, I made my way to his. Me entering caused him to wake up and he sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Where were you?" His voice sounded sleepy.

"I just needed some air." I lied as I removed the cloak and placed it on a hook. I walked to the corner of the room to pet BD who was silently sleeping on top of R2, I missed them both.

"Come here." Anakin lifted the blanket and patted the bed for me to lay next to him. I made my way to the bed and snuggled next to me. I laid my head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "Is everything okay, you feel a little tense?"

I nodded against his chest, "Yeah I just had a bad dream," I lifted my head and met his eyes, "But I'm better now." I used my hand to gently caress his cheek and he smiled before bringing his lips to mine.

I will always protect you Anakin.

He continued the kiss, flipping me over and getting on top of me, "Again?" I chuckled.

"How could I resist?" He teased and pulled my shirt off.

The next morning I woke up and Anakin was no longer in the bed with me. R2 was gone too but BD was laying on the pillow next to me. "Good Morning buddy, I missed you."

He jumped up excitingly and I brought my legs over the bed to the floor. I peeked my head out of the door to see if anyone was in the hallway and when I saw no one I rushed to my room with BD on my trail.

I took a quick shower and put on my Jedi robes. I fixed my hair the best I could and left my room to take BD to the younglings. Anakin told me that while I was gone he let BD spend his days with the younglings, he said it was the only thing that would make him happy. And who was I to break his routine? Even though I'm here now I'm sure he formed a bond with the children.

I bumped into Lida who was on her way to see me. "(y/n) I'm so happy to see you!" She exclaimed as she pulled me into a rough hug, knocking the window out of me.

I hugged her back, "I'm happy to see you too Lida."

"I thought we were never gonna get you back!" She pulled away from me and held tears in her eyes, "I was so worried. But also Master Yoda sent me, he wants you to go to the medical bay to have your injuries checked out. Are you okay? What injuries? Where are they? You didn't lose any fingers did you?" She grabbed my hands inspecting them.

I laughed a little at her, this was how she always was. She talked a million words per minute and asked so many questions I could hardly keep up.

"I'm okay really, most of them have healed but I know of a few I probably should have looked at." My hand, my back, and my shoulder. Those were the places that had the most severe damage. "I'm just gonna take BD to the younglings and I'll go from there."

"Nonsense you go now and I'll take BD to the younglings." She waved her hand and BD jumped from me to her and she laughed when he snuggled next to her face.

"Thank you Lida. You're too good to me." I beamed at her and she did the same back.

"What are best friends for?"

"Everything seems to be in good shape." The medical droid announced as I was putting my robes back on. "The only thing that concerns me is the stab wound on your shoulder. It's very deep and I think you should put this," It handed me a bottle of what looked to be medicine, "On it every morning and night. It will heal faster and feel free to put it on any other wounds. It will make sure there is no scarring."

"Thank you." I grabbed the bottle.

"And no Jedi business for at least a week. You're body is very tired, I suggest a lot of rest. Naps are your new best friend."

I nodded and exited the room.

I walked to Anakin's room hoping he was there and when I found it to be empty I was disappointed. I sat on the bed with a heavy sigh. I needed to think of what to do about tonight. Ventress is expecting me to be there, how will I get in there unnoticed? Let alone break her out when she's guarded  at all times. Plus the cameras, I groaned in frustration and laid back on the bad. What I was going to do was treason. What would happen if they found out? Surely they would assume I'm still a sith.

Why can't life just be easy for once.

"Wake up baby." I felt a hand gently nudge me and I fluttered my eyes open to meet the eyes of my boyfriend. With all my thinking I just have fallen asleep, the droid did say my body was tired.

I popped up, "I'm sorry I must have fallen asleep."

He chuckled, "Don't apologize, I love seeing you in my bed." He pressed a kiss to my cheek and I blushed.

"Pervert." I lightly pushed him and I looked out the window to see the sun was already set, damn it. "How long have I been asleep?" I stood up frantic and he gave me a confused expression.

"Im not sure, why are you so frantic?" He questioned.

Lie, come up with a lie, "I told Lida I'd help her with something, also I've left BD with the younglings all day he's probably wondering why I haven't come to get him."

"Well Lida is still here so I'm sure you can go down and help her now, she would understand you being tired.  As for BD he is roaming the halls being a pest with R2 so don't worry." He stood up and rubbed my shoulder. I smiled, his touch always made me feel good. "I'm gonna take a shower, I was running around with Obi-Wan all day, I'm tired and I feel dirty." He scrunched his nose.

"Okay I'm gonna go find Lida." I lied again, I hate lying to him so much but he wouldn't want me to do what I'm about to do, especially for him.

He sighed, "I was hoping you'd join me in the shower."

I chuckled, "Tempting, but I should go. She's probably waiting for me."

He pulled me in for one more kiss, "Fine, but once you're done come back. I want you to sleep in my bed every night from now on." He held a smirk and I couldn't help but smile up at him. He really is the love of my life.

"I'll be back, I promise." I broke away from his hold and he groaned, "I love you."

"I love you too." He winked at me and went into the bathroom.

I grabbed a cloak from the hook and put it on, pulling the hood over so my face was hidden.

I left the room and made my way to Ventress.
