Anakin's POV
Nightmare*
I was standing in a dark hallway, there were no doors along the walls but only what looked to be an endless string of darkness in front of me.

Where was I?

I grabbed my belt hoping to find my weapon to illuminate my path but I silently cursed to myself when I realized it wasn't there. I started to slowly walk through this hallway, wooden floorboards were creaking underneath my feet with every step.

"Anakin." I heard a voice call to me, no, not just any voice, it was her voice.

"(y/n)?" I  desperately called out her name and there was a spark of red light at the end of the hall. I looked curiously at it but it was too far away to know what it was.

"Why did you leave me?" Her voice sounded like a broken whisper. The sound came from the end of the hall and I began to pick up my pace towards the light, hoping it was her. I could hear her crying and her crying only seemed to be getting louder the further down I went.

"I would never leave you!" I shouted as I was jogging down this dark hallway. Despite her cries becoming louder, the light was staying the same distance and I began to feel panicked and frustrated.

"How could you do that to me?" Her voice broke into a sob and the light disappeared  and I ran straight into a wall. I began to pound my fist against it as I called out her name in a panic. "Was it worth it?" I heard her voice again from behind me but this time it was cold and it caused shivers to go down my spine. I spun around and there were two hooded figures standing a few feet from me. I took a step closer and one of the figures looked up to me and I met her dark yellow eyes. She didn't look at me full of love as she always did, but it was a look of hate and there was so much pain in her eyes. "Look at what you did!" She screamed so loud the world around me began to shake and everything shattered like broken glass.

I jumped awake with a gasp, my breathing was quickened and I scanned around the room I was in.
I was in the medical bay where (y/n) was receiving treatment for her injuries from her battle with Grievous. I sighed with relief when I saw her sleeping peacefully on the bed and I leaned back in the chair I was in. What the hell was that? I've had nightmares before but none of them ever felt like that.

"Nightmare?" A voice startled me from the doorway and I looked to see Ahsoka.

I nodded, "Has she woken up yet?" I asked trying to change the subject so she wouldn't ask me about any details of my nightmare. I was going to talk to Obi-Wan about it later.

She seemed to take my hint, "Yeah she was awake about an hour ago." She told me as she sat in the chair across from me.

My eyes widened, "Why didn't you wake me?" I asked her, annoyed.

"She told us not too." She shrugged, "She said you looked more tired than her and to let you rest."

I shook my head, of course she would be thinking about my well being when she's the one injured. I stood up and walked over to her and placed my hand gently on her cheek and she let out a small sleepy groan. "I have something to do, can you stay with her until I get back?" I looked to Ahsoka and she smiled at me with a nod. "Thank you Snips." I smiled back and left the room to go find Obi-Wan. I ran into Rex in the hallway on my way there and he stopped me.

"How is the general doing?" He asked me with his normal professional tone.

"She'll be fine, she just needs to sleep it off but she should be better by the morning." I assured him.

"That's good to hear sir."

I looked over his shoulder and saw Lida standing with another employee in conversation and I remembered what (y/n) told me on Naboo. "Hey Rex, can you do me a favor and keep it between us?" I shifted my eyes from behind to meet his.
