(TW:Talk of Self-Harm)

Rey's POV
I lied on the cold floor, mourning my brother. I watched as she murdered him and now I was going to take away everything she has ever loved, just as she did to me. Then once I've done that, I'm going to kill her so slowly that she will beg me to end her life.

I'm going to kill you.

I hope she heard me.

I hope she knows I'm coming.

(y/n)'s POV
I woke to the feeling of being watched. I looked to my right to see Anakin staring at me, I chuckled as I turned to face him. "How long have you been awake?" I asked as I gently caressed his face.

"I haven't slept."He responded as he closed his eyes to enjoy the feeling of my hand against his cheek.

"You need to, Rey is still out there and we need to be prepared for her. Beginning with being well-rested." I slightly tapped his cheek and he smiled in response and opened his eyes.

"I'm afraid you won't be here when I wake up," He admitted with sad eyes, "I'm afraid this is all a dream."

I felt a small pain of guilt, "I'm really here and I'm not going anywhere." I leaned closer to him and pressed my lips to his, he kissed me back instantly and brought up his hand up so he could gently cup my face. I pulled away from him and placed a small peck on the tip of his nose causing him to giggle and I rolled over to get off of the bed.

"Where are you going?" He asked nervously as he sat up.

I put on a robe to cover my exposed body, "I'm just going to the bathroom, I'll only be a minute."

He sighed before laying back down, "Leave the door open." He mumbled. I nodded and left it wide open when I stepped into the hall.

I reached the bathroom and did my business. As I flushed the toilet I looked towards the shower. The image of my drunken night where I attempted to fall off the balcony came to mind. I remember after Padme and Satine saved me, Padme sat me in this very shower. I was there staring at her razors, contemplating on slitting my wrists. The only reason I didn't is because she never left the room. I even made a plan to do it once she fell asleep, but she never did, she stayed awake that whole night. She saved my life three times that night and she didn't even know it. And the worst part is, I don't think I ever thanked her.

I stood at the sink and began to wash my hands when I thought I heard someone calling my name. It sounded like a faint whisper, I looked around the room but saw no one and figured it was just my imagination.

"(y/n)." This time it was louder and I looked up to meet my own reflection but yellow eyes were staring back. I jumped back and blinked rapidly but the eyes stayed the same, not only that, my reflection never moved. "Did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" She smirked. I stood there frozen, I was seeing things, this wasn't real.

"Go away." I breathed out as I held my hand up to my stomach in a protective way.

She chuckled, "How? I'm you." She held a smug grin. "You can push me down all you want but I'm there and you will let me out." She spoke in an almost threatening tone. That's when I felt it, I felt her inside of me trying to take over. "You think anyone loves you?" She scoffed, "You're so pathetic."

"Please stop." I began to cry as I held my hands to my ears to try and tune her out. But it wasn't working because the voice was inside my own head.

"You should be afraid, the council will consider the child a threat and they'll take him from you, from us." She continued trying to get under my skin.

"No," I shook my head frantically, "Anakin would never let anything happen to me or the baby."

She chuckled, "It's cute you think that even after he abandoned you. He'll do it again, he'll leave you both."

"No, I'm not listening to you anymore," I cried as I dropped to the floor and hugged my knees to chest, "Go away." She wasn't going to win, not again. I listened to this voice before.. and I ended up killing Master Windu. This voice was the same one that told me to let go that night on the balcony and the same voice that told me to harm myself. She was feeding off of my anger and my fear and I was beginning to struggle. The dark side was toying with me and itching to get back out. I've been suppressing this for over a day now and it was exhausting. But I had my baby to think about now. I needed to be stronger than before.

Anakin's POV
Something didn't feel right. Not only that, but she was taking longer than usual. I stood up from the bed and pulled on my pants as I walked out of the door and knocked on the bathroom. I didn't get a response and I began to worry so I pushed the door open and I found her on the floor hugging her knees. "Go away, go away, go away, go away." She kept repeating over and over again as she rocked back and forth. I could feel her emotions all over the place and it was causing me to panic but I needed to stay calm for her so I can help her.

"Baby?" I asked softly as I knelt down next to her, she didn't acknowledge my presence, she kept rocking back and forth repeating those words. Her eyes staring dead past me. "Hey." I reached my hand out to touch her.

"No!" She shouted and a wave of energy pushed me back hard, I flew backwards out of the bathroom and landed roughly against the wall of the hallway. "Anakin!" She shouted and rushed to my side, she was crying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Anakin I didn't mean to hurt you, are you okay?" She spoke frantically and I grabbed onto her shoulders to calm her down so I could look into her tear filled eyes.

"Are you okay?" I was fine, other than a slight headache from the impact, but that didn't matter right now. Only she did. She was visibly shaking, something really got to her. But what could it have been?

"I-" She began but she looked away and turned to stare into the bathroom before looking back to me, "I just need you to hold me." She straddled me and I held onto her as she buried her face into the crook of my neck. She was breathing heavily but the longer I held her the more I felt her begin to relax and her breathing slowed back to normal.

It's official, she's not even going to the bathroom without me now.

She's never leaving my side.

(y/n)'s POV

The second his arms wrapped around me, the voice stopped. I sighed with relief.

"Woah woah not in the hallway guys, this is a safe zone." Padme's voice filled my ears and I looked up to her and her smile automatically fell to a look of concern when she saw my face, "Are you okay?" She asked as she quickly walked towards me and knelt down next to us.

I smiled at her, "I'm okay," I stood up to get out of Anakin's hold and he stood up with me but still had a hand held onto my waist, I didn't want to tell either of them what just happened, yet, so I decided to tell her about the first thought I had while in there,"Um I wanted to say thank you."

She stood up with a confused look, "For what?" Anakin was also looking at me curiously.

I looked up to my husband, "Anakin can you give us a minute?"

He shook his head. "Nope."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "But-"

"I said no, I'm staying with you, no buts." He responded sternly as he crossed his arms over his chest, signaling that he was not backing down.

I sighed heavily, annoyed, but I understood why he wasn't leaving me. "That night," I began and judging by her expression she already knew what night I was referring to, "I don't think I ever thanked you."

She smiled, "You don't have to thank me," She looked down to the floor sadly, "Especially after what I did."

I shook my head and placed a hand on her shoulder, "No but I do, you may not know it but you saved me multiple times that night. Thank you for catching me, thank you for not leaving the bathroom, and thank you for staying awake. Force knows what I would have done." I didn't want to give the harsh details of what I planned to do, so I pulled her into a hug and she hugged me back instantly. I felt her shaking which showed me she was crying, she was feeling guilty for everything and I knew no matter what I said, this was something she was going to be beating herself up with for awhile.

"I'm so sorry for lying to you." She continued to cry.

"I forgive you and I love you, you're my best friend and you always will be." I soothed her as I rubbed her back.

She pulled away to look into my eyes, "I love you too." She smiled.

"Now go to bed," I patted her on the back, "I'm sure Rex is wondering where you are." I teased with a smile and her eyes lit up at the mention of her new love.

"We'll talk more in the morning." She squeezed my hand before giving Anakin and wave and heading back to her room.

I let out a sigh knowing that now I was gonna have to discuss with Anakin what happened to me in the bathroom. I didn't want to talk about it, the last thing I wanted was to freak him out. He grabbed onto my hand and led us back to the guest bedroom. He closed the door behind him and turned to me with his arms crossed, "What happened in there?"

"Anakin-" I tried telling him that I wanted to let it go. But he stopped me when he put his hand up.

"No more secrets," He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, "We have to tell each other everything," He stood closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders as he looked intently into my eyes, "Before you turned, I had nightmares about it and I was afraid to tell you because I didn't want you to worry so I ignored them. And look what happened." He looked down to the floor and I could feel his grief, "I should have told you. So now I'm asking if we can please never hold anything back, no matter what." He pleaded.

I sighed and nodded in agreement. He had a point, when were both working together on a solution is when we come up with the best results.

And so I told him start to finish of the events in the mirror.
