I clashed the saber in my left hand with Anakin's and the one in my right clashed with Obi-Wans.

"I am going to rid the galaxy of you and Count Dooku and there will finally be peace!" Anakin snarled as he began to push against me and I could feel the weight become too much to hold.

I used my right foot to kick Anakin in his stomach causing him to fall onto his back and I used my now free left hand to collide with with Obi-Wans saber. He struggled as I began to push him him down and then I felt the force grip me and throw me against a wall.

I yelped in pain, my voice sounding mechanical, before standing back up and seeing Anakin rush towards me and I noticed Obi-Wan was going for Dooku who has already ignited his lightsaber in preparation for the encounter.

I raised my weapons just in time as Anakin's were mere centimeters from my face. I force pushed him and he barely slid back a few feet without allowing his feet to crumbled under him. We continued to fight as our blue and red lights collided together."You're strong," He stated, "But I'm stronger." He spun his weapon in his hand and charged back to me.

Anakin's POV
She dodged my advance and caused my lightsaber to crash with the wall where she once stood.

I heard her laugh from behind me and I suddenly felt the force grip around my neck and I could no longer breathe. I fell to the floor and brought my hands to my neck trying to pull the invisible force away from me but it was no use. I glanced over to Obi-Wan who was in mid-battle with Dooku, oblivious to the danger I was in. "Are you sure about that?" She teased and I felt her grip tighten. Just when I thought I wasn't going to make it, her grip loosened allowing air to fill my lungs once again.

I looked up at her expecting Obi-Wan to have done something to get her to stop but instead she was just standing there looking at me. Or at least think she was, I couldn't see her eyes with that mask on.

(y/n) POV
Images of Anakin placing the flower in my hair went through my mind. I flinched in response and dropped my hand allowing him to breathe again.

Anakin's POV
Why did she stop? She could have killed me. She would have won.

I focused on her emotions and they were different from Dooku. With him all I could sense was anger and lust for power. But with her...all I could feel was pain.

I slowly stood up and started to walk in circles around her, not wanting to advance towards her, yet. "Why did you stop?" I questioned and her head was following my movements.

"I don't want to fight you Skywalker." She responded in a mechanical voice.

"But you wanted to slaughter an entire village?" I growled and I could feel her pain intensify at my words.

For a split second I understood her pain, I slaughtered the sand people, leaving no one alive and it still haunts me to this day.

"I didn't want to." She whispered and I could hear the sadness in her voice, "He made me." She added while tilting her head towards Dooku who was still in a heated battle with Obi-Wan. Her pain and sadness was starting to feel unbearable for me.

I retracted my weapon and I cautiously started to walk towards her. "You don't have to be with him anymore, come with us we can help
you ." I tried reasoning with her. If anyone understands that the darkness inside can become overwhelming, it's me. I can still sense good in her.

I came in here with the intention of killing her but little did I know, she was suffering more than any of us.

She chuckled, "Help me? After everything that I've done, why would you believe I'm worthy of a second chance?"

"We've all made mistakes but those don't define who we are. You can still make better choices, for a better future." I felt her hesitate for a moment before the yelling of Count Dooku broke her out of her thoughts and she turned to see Obi-Wan standing over him.

(Y/n) POV
For a moment I wanted to go with him, to end my suffering. But I knew Dooku was right, I could never be loved and I would never be accepted once people heard my name. Anakin wouldn't want me when he realizes who I am. It was too late for me.

I heard Dooku yell and I saw Obi-Wan standing over him holding his light saber to his neck.

The emotional conversation I was having with Anakin quickly washed away from me.

I used the force to shove Anakin hard against the back wall and he yelled in pain. The sound of Anakin's scream pulled Obi-Wan's gaze from Dooku as he check to see if his former padawan was still alive.

I ran towards them and before I could reach them Dooku grabbed Obi-Wans throat with the force and choked him till he fell unconscious. Then tossed him aside.

"Obi-Wan!" Anakin yelled as he ran to him to check his pulse and he let out a sigh of relief when he realized he was still alive. His gazed shifted towards Dooku he looked at him with such anger.

He stood up and brought his weapon back out and advanced towards him and I rushed forward meeting him halfway as we danced around each other. Anakin eventually gained the upper hand and sliced at my face only cutting the mask and revealing half of my right eye.

Anakin's POV
I cut through her mask, only enough to reveal a small section of her right eye. I could see the yellow glow from where I stood. Something felt strange when I looked at her, it was a familiar feeling,like I've seen her before.

We started to battle again, but this time I felt her holding back on me. She wasn't trying to hurt me and it was obvious. So obvious that Dooku noticed and I could feel his anger start to boil inside of him. Before I could strike towards her again, she dropped to hear knees and was crying in pain. I jumped back confused, that's when I noticed he was using electricity from his hands to torture her. Her screams pierced my ears and I could feel her pain.

He wasn't stopping, it was like he was trying to kill her. I threw my saber towards him, but instead of it going through his chest like I hoped, he stopped shocking her and caught it with ease. In response to the pain finally subsiding, Izdaja dropped to the floor unconscious.

I ran towards her to check if she was alive.

Right when I reached her I felt the force push me a few feet away and I looked to see Dooku picking her up bridal style. "We'll be seeing you again Skywalker." Was all he said before he left the room with her in his arms. I finally dropped down to the floor, realizing how exhausted I really was.

I was about to chase after him when I heard a siren blaring and I checked the control panels to see that a self destruct had been set. I had only a few moments to get off this base before the whole thing came down on us.

I rushed to Obi-Wan and placed him over my shoulders so I could carry him out to the ship. As we ran through the halls to get out of this place I kept running into battle droids and I would strike them down whoever they would get in my way.

I finally reached outside and rushed on to the ship. I dropped Obi-Wan onto the floor of the cockpit and I heard him hit his head on the metal floor. "Sorry buddy." I apologized to him as I rushed to the pilot chair to prepare the ship for take off. I'm not sure how much time I have left but I believe it's only seconds. As soon as our ship was in the air my former master finally wake up.

"What did I miss?" He rubbed the back of his head where I had accidentally dropped him.

"Not much." I replied with a smirk and then a few seconds later the base exploded which caused our ship to rock and I had struggle to get it under control.

Obi-Wan raises his brows at me, "Right." He laughed a little before sitting in the co-pilot seat next to me, "Well I suppose I should thank you for saving my life." He says as he places an arm on my shoulder.

"For the tenth time." I chuckled.

"Ninth time." He corrected, "That business on Cato neimoidia doesn't, doesn't count." He shook his head at me and we both laughed at the memory. "Did they both survive?" He asked referring to Dooku and Izdaja.

I nodded in response. "Master there was something about Darth Izdaja.." I began to tell him of the conflict I felt in her.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I think there's still light inside of her, I felt pain and fear. Nothing close to what I feel around Dooku." I dropped my head down, remembering the yellow in her eyes. She looked evil but she didn't feel evil. She felt lost.

"Are you suggesting she could be saved?" He looked at me confused.

"I think so, she wasn't trying to kill me Obi-Wan she was holding back and Dooku almost killed her because of it." I exclaimed and Obi-Wan started to stroke his beard, contemplating what I just told him.

"She just might be the one thing we can use to stop Dooku, if what you're saying is true."

"Only problem is, I don't know where to look for them next," I sighed in frustration, "And who knows if he'll keep her alive after what just happened."

(y/n) POV
I woke up lying on the cold floor of cell, force cuffs were linked on my wrists, and I was being guarded by a dozen battle droids.

Dooku emerged from the darkness and stopped a few inches from the cell. "You disappoint me little one." He shook his head and placed his hand around one of the bars. "A few nights here without food and water should be punishment enough before returning to Coruscant."

"I'm going back?" I questioned with a weak voice.

"We still have bigger plans (y/n), I trust your little slip up on Geonosis was an isolated event. If anything like that happens again.." he trailed off for a moment before continuing, "I don't care if you are my daughter, I will kill you."

I nodded in response and looked down at the cuffs around my wrists.

"Don't let the Jedi fool you, they casted me out when I told them I wanted to raise a child as my own. They lectured me on attachments and told me to leave when I refused to give you to them." His words were new to me, he never told me about his time in the order. "That is why I have such hate towards them, you can be the greatest Jedi in the temple. But if you do one thing that they don't agree with, they will turn their backs on you." He turned away from me and started to walk away before he paused for a moment, "I'll come back for you in a few days." Was the last thing he said to me before he left the room and the battle droids followed behind him.

Leaving me in darkness.
