Revenge

Chapter 29. Confession of Pain

Author's note: almost 3am here just to get their out :) ok I need to sleep seriously.

Vader walked in into the middle of the room, all the while Obi-Wan and Satine are staring at him. Tensions run high in the room. Everyone against everyone, even Satine against Obi-Wan. When he reached the middle, he turned around and looked at Obi-Wan in the eyes.

"You are weak," he insulted. Obi-Wan didn't bother to look at him in the eyes, though Vader tried. "You gave up your own self for her," he pointed at Satine who was looking down to the floor herself.

The former Jedi did not respond, which, strangely enough, angered Vader. He became irritated.

"It does not matter now. What does is that I shall now have my revenge."

Obi-Wan, barely keeping himself together, finally looked at the monster his former Padawan had turned into. "Why do you want that Vader?!"

The anger inside the Sith Lord boils even further.

"Why?!" he repeated. He turned around and stomped towards Satine. Seeing that, Satine stiffens in fear and clenched her hands into a fist. She watched anxiously on what he's about to do.

"You took everything from me," he said with all of his hatred. "And now you will pay for it."

Vader pressed a button and hundreds of electrical surges went into Satine's body. The sight was as if hundreds of lighting storm at her at once. The blue light coming out from the electricity was blinding.

Satine screamed in pain as she felt like her bones are stabbed hundreds of time and there's no end to it. She shake rapidly from the electrocution. She felt like she could faint at any given moment and her headaches aren't helping, though it's the least of her concerns at that moment.

Obi-Wan only watched in horror as Satine was electrocuted in front of his very eyes. The sound of her screams felt like his heart was crushed. What crushed his heart even more though is knowing that he can't go there and stop it immediately.

"Stop it Vader!" Obi-Wan screamed with all his might. The Sith Lord however only stared back at him.

Satine continued to scream in pain. The tears began to form on the former Jedi Master's eyes. "Please stop it!" he begged, and Vader did nothing yet again.

With every scream, Obi-Wan felt like he's losing her further and further until he couldn't handle it anymore and the word, the name that he thought he wouldn't call him again, skipped through his mouth.

"Stop it Anakin!"

And it stopped.

Obi-Wan quickly realized what he had said. No.. he regretted instantly. What... What have I done?!

Satine recollected herself. The shock and pain her body went through took a toll on her and her body felt tense, not to mention her ever increasing headache. Everything about her felt like it was stabbed by a sharp pin.

But even after all of it, the name that Obi-Wan dropped was all that she could think of. She couldn't believe what her ears had heard. She can't believe that the great Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, the Hero with No Fear, hero of the Republic, a friend of hers, could fall so deep into a fate that never once crossed her mind.

She opened her mouth but nothing came out. The feeling of betrayal felt deep. No matter how much she wants to say something, nothing comes to mind except for a question she knew not to ask. Does Padmé know about this?

Vader stood completely still and silent. And all the memories came back to him. The memories of Anakin Skywalker.

"Anakin Skywalker is dead," he finally said without a slight hesitation. "What lived is his most desires revenge." And with that, he pressed the button again and the electrocution begins again.
