Prophecy of the Force: Part 3

Part 3

Anakin took a seat as Master Windu had commanded. Mace sat down across from him and glared at him, waiting for Anakin to start talking. Anakin glanced at him for a moment, then moved his eyes to the table in front of him. He started dissecting the various patterns in the wood while he gathered his thoughts. He took a deep breath and finally started talking.

“Senator Amidala,” he started. “Padme’, is my wife. We’re married, and she’s pregnant.” Mace’s eyes widened as Anakin revealed this to him. He knew that the two were close, but it never crossed his mind that they were married.

“I had a vision of her dying in childbirth. It was the same type of vision I had of my mother. And look what happened to her.” By this time, Anakin was in tears again. “The Chancellor said there was a way to save her. I know he’s evil, but I needed him!” Anakin screamed. “He was the only way to save her, and now she’s going to die! And it’s all your fault!”

Anakin was furious by now. What right does he have!? He shouldn’t have killed him. The more Anakin thought about it, the angrier he got. Mace could feel his anger and backed away. He always thought that the boy was dangerous, and now he was right. Anakin needed to be subdued, or he might do something that could get him killed. But how? The Jedi that had come with him to arrest the Chancellor had been killed, and there was no way of getting any help.

Anakin’s anger started to subside. “I can’t live without her. She’s everything to me,” Anakin finally said. Mace almost felt sorry for the boy. He knew that Anakin had problems with letting go of attachment, due to his age when he entered the order. He also knew that this meant the end of Anakin’s Jedi years. He would be expelled from the order. But he’s supposed to be the Chosen One. Anakin was supposed to bring balance to the Force. But hadn’t that already happened, when he himself killed the Sith Lord that they had been searching for?

His fate would be decided later. For now, the Jedi had worse problems on their hands, like tracking down the rest of the Separatists, ending the war, and putting the Galactic Senate back in order.
