9-I'm Fine

Anakin's Pov
"What do you mean she's not here?" I asked Lida with a hint of sadness in my tone. She has just informed that (y/n) requested a few days off and she wasn't sure when she would be back.

"I'm sorry Master Skywalker. She told me her father was sick and I told her she could take as long as she needed." She looked at me apologetically. I'm sure I was making it obvious I cared for (y/n) more than I should have. But Lida has been a friend for years and I knew she would never mention it to anyone. "But I'll let her know you're looking for her when she returns."

"Thank you Lida." I give her a small smile and she nods in response before turning back to the papers in her hands and I make my way back to my room.

She was all I thought about on my way back here and I couldn't wait to see her. I couldn't explain my attraction towards her, it was instant. Almost like the force was pulling me towards her. The first time I saw her I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the galaxy, I still remember that moment, she was waiting downstairs at the desk. She was looking around the room like she was taking the place in and I accidentally bumped into Master Windu because my attention was so focused on her. He gave me an annoyed look and I awkwardly apologized to him, and he rolled his eyes in response, he always hated me.

I sighed as I walked into my room and crashed on the bed before closing my eyes, hoping I would dream of her.

(y/n)'s POV
I sat on this cold floor for what felt like weeks although I know it's only been days. My stomach was growling with pain from the lack of food and my throat was dry from lack of water. I cried everyday I've been here, I hated being alone in this darkness. With my thoughts eating away at me. I can't tell you the amount of times I screamed hoping somebody would come down here, to relieve me of the loneliness I felt.

But no one ever came.
Until today.

The door to the room opened and I could feel the presence of Dooku. I growled in his presence like an animal. "Is that anyway to treat your father?" He snarled and I gave no response, I only glared at him with hate filled eyes, He is not my father. "I can sense your anger little one and that's good, use it." He encouraged me and I looked away from him down to the ground.

Suddenly the cell door opened and I snapped my head up to see a droid walking in with food and water. It set the tray in front of me and took the cuffs off of my wrists. I went to the tray and devoured the food and chugged the water. Immediately feeling some strength return to my body.

"How do you feel?" He questioned and I still gave no response. Instead, I turned to the droid who was leaving the cell and I gripped it with the force and crushed it causing it to shriek in a mechanical voice and sparks began to fly. I finally let go and the droid dropped to floor. I was so angry, I just wanted to hurt something. "Better I assume." Dooku laughed and he walked in to the cell and stood a few feet away from me. It took everything in me not to do the same to him but I knew he would easily overpower me and thus I would be signing my own death warrant. "Go shower, it's time to return to Coruscant." He ordered me and I walked past him once again without speaking to him and went to my old room to take my shower. I felt the water run down my back and I shivered in response.

I stepped out of the shower and went to look at myself in the mirror. I instantly hated the sight of myself as I did on Geonosis and I used the force to break the mirror. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at myself again.

Anakin's POV
It's been two days since I returned and still no (y/n). I was beginning to worry that she wouldn't come back before I got sent on another mission. Or if she was ever even going to come back.
