Wires | Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker |

One

//Hello there! My name is Etta. I will usually put an author's note at the beginning of each chapter, mainly because I love talking to my readers. Sorry if the first few chapters are rushed, this was originally a one shot. Also, I have only seen I, IV, V, VI, and VII so I dont really know that much about anakin-- but im still in love with him. I hope you like this! *** Future Etta*** Ayyyyy! Okay, to those of you who just started reading this, this was originally in first person point of view, but Im rewriting every chapter up to when I started writing in third person (chapter Ten). Also, I apologize in advance for word mishaps and spelling errors. I write all of these chapters in bed, and I'm usually next to passing out after i'm done with a chapter, and don't end up editing it and just publishing it immediately when I wake up. So, like, I would really appreciate it if you told me if there was a spelling or grammar mistake so that i can change it. Also, i still havent seen II and III bc tbh they arent really that good, but im still an anakin and Obi-Wan hoe. A large part of the dislike is because of Jar Jar Binks.... *literally seething*. But anyways, thank you so much for reading! Remember to heart and comment! **********Future Etta from after finishing editing the first two chapters- this took a lot longer than I planned it too. This, for some reason, is more difficult than writing entirely new chapters. I apologize for it taking so long. I hope you enjoy!//

The nurse shook as she made her way down the winding corridor, in search of Lord Vader's chambers. She was newly promoted to being Darth Vader's personal physician. The nurse had strict orders to check his wounds for infection, to check his respiratory, and be there for his basic needs. It was her first day on the job, and she was absolutely terrified. She had heard tales of what he had done and his lack of mercy, and the thought itself was enough to make her heart race in panic. The terror that he had caused hadn't happened that long ago, so the wounds (mental and physical) were still fairly fresh.

Coming upon the door of Darth Vader's bed room, the nurse willed herself to attempt to knock. Before she could bring her trembling hand near the door, a bold voice came from within. "Come in."

She shook as she turned the doorknob and walked in. The only light in the room came from the window next to a bed, where Lord Vader sat. His silhouette was outlined in the star light, his iconic helmet apparent. His chest heaved deeply with animated breaths. He turned his head to the nurse, and she grew weaker."I'm- I'm here to-"

"I know what you are here to do, nurse. I only ask that you do not let slip a single word of this to anyone outside of this room. Do you understand?" To the nurse, it was less of a request and more of a threat.

She nodded her head and took a deep breath. "Is it hard to breathe?" She kicked herself internally. Of course it was hard for him to breathe. Why else would she be there other than to check his wounds?

He was quiet for a moment, his heavy breathing the only sound that filled the room. "... It hurts."

"Do you mind if I turn on the light?" She asked timidly, still terrified of his very being. He seemed strangely at ease and calm, but somewhat in need. Like a child. Perhaps it was because he lacked the company of high authority, and was in the presence of a prole.

He let out a long breath and hung his head. "Go ahead." His voice grew weaker, and the nurse figured something had happened to his respirator. She had to work fast.

She flipped the switch, and the light was blinding. Now that the room was properly lit, the nurse could see the machines lining the walls next to his bed. Medical supplies littered desks and filled drawers and stacked containers. It looked almost as if he had taken the infirmary to his room.

"I don't very much like that place. It's too bright, and loud. It's too... empty. If that makes any sense." It came to the nurse's realization that the sith had been reading her mind, and her level of vulnerability rose greatly.
