In the treatment area, Vokara Che went to work trying to put Anakin into a healing trance, but the young Jedi fought her. He didn't calm down until he felt Madame Jocasta's hand on his forehead.
"Ssh, child, let Master Vokara heal you."
He calmed down but didn't close his eyes. He moaned while tossing and turning the fever going higher.
Master Vokara tried again to get him to sleep but Anakin wouldn't close his eyes. She contacted Master Yoda and it was decided to take him to the hospital. If Anakin's fever wouldn't drop, he would die.
He fought the medics caring for him on the way to the hospital and only Madame Jocasta got him to relax a little.
The doctor who would be caring for him put restraints on Anakin's wrists and ankles.
"Wow...." the doctor who was an older Twi-lek said, "This boy is a fighter! He must be one powerful Jedi."
"Yes, he is," Obi-Wan berkata then turned to the doctor, "Are these restraints necessary?"
"I don't want to be thrown across the room again and neither does my staff. I know it looks cruel, but it's for Anakin's own good. He's menunjukkan symptoms of a severe emotional breakdown. If he succumbs to the full extent of his grief he could be dangerous. We'll administer medications to bring the fever down, but the best thing for the boy is sleep and alot of it. The sedatives should keep him asleep for hours atau longer."
All the rest of the night and for the seterusnya two days, Obi-Wan, Sinube, Plo and Madame Jocasta kept vigil sejak his bedside. Padme Amidala had rushed to the hospital after hearing how Anakin's condition had worsened.
Masters Plo and Sinube came out after leaving Madame Jocasta with Anakin. Obi-Wan had to return to the Jedi Temple.
"Senator, there is no need to remain here," Master Plo said, "Anakin is asleep and being well cared for. I know anda are a close friend of his, but your presence her is awkward."
Padme glared at him feeling bad since she liked him and Sinube too.
"You Cinta him, don't anda child?" Sinube asked gesturing her to sit nearby.
Padme's eyes widened and she swallowed hard. There was no fooling a Jedi Master, especially one of Sinube's age.
"Yes," she whispered.
Plo turned and frowned, but didn't say anything.
Padme took a deep breath. She felt comfortable enough to tell both of them her and Anakin's secret. It was possible that she would become a widow and she didn't care if the Jedi Council knew.
"Padme," Sinube said, "Tell us. Tell us everything. I sense anda are carrying a great burden. One that anda share with Anakin."
Plo nodded and sat down nearby.
Padme's brown eyes welled with tears and she began to speak.
"Yes, I Cinta Anakin very much. I have loved him for a long time, but that's not all...."
"What is it, child?" Sinube asked taking her hands in his.
"Anakin and I....are married and have been for awhile."
"Married?" Plo asked, "For how long?"
"We were married on Naboo after the first battle of Geonosis. I know it was wrong to keep it a secret. Please....Master Plo, Master Sinube, don't tell the Jedi Council. It would break Anakin's heart!"
"He will be expelled from the Jedi Order." Plo whispered feeling bad for Anakin since he really cared about his young friend.
"Please, don't tell them. I think Master Kenobi knows but he won't tell. He cares about Anakin too much, but Master Yoda wouldn't understand."
Plo rubbed his chin and looked over at Sinube. He took a deep breath and spoke.
"We will not speak of this again, unless anda want us to. We Cinta Anakin too and don't want to hurt him anymore than he's going through right now. anda young ones will decide when the time is right to tell the Council."
"Thank you," she berkata as she hugged both of them.
Madame Jocasta came out a few minit later seeing Padme with Masters Plo and Sinube.
"Hello, dear. What brings anda here?" she asked.
Padme looked over at Plo and Sinube.
"Jocasta," Sinube said, "Sit down. We have something to tell anda about Anakin, and it concerns Senator Amidala too..."
A few minit later, Jocasta sat stunned but like her two friends, she would keep the secret.
"Child," she berkata to Padme, "Go sit with him. He needs anda with him."
Padme fought tears as she nodded and gave Jocasta a quick hug.
She walked into the room and let the tears fall as she saw the pale face of her husband.
"Ani," she whispered as she carassed his face, "I'm here and I'm not leaving. Masters Plo and Sinube know about us. So does Madame Jocasta. Don't worry, they aren't saying anything to the Jedi Council. They Cinta anda nearly as much as I do. All they care about is anda getting better. I know Ahoska dying is why anda are sick. anda loved her as a friend and little sister. I saw it in the way anda two reacted to each other."
She sat on the side of the katil and took his hands in hers.
"Don't die, Ani. I can't live without you. Just hold on..."
A week went sejak and Anakin opened his eyes. The first person he saw was Master Sinube.
"Well, hello sleepy-head," he berkata smiling, "It's nice to see those blue eyes of yours open. How are anda feeling?"
Anakin just looked at him in a blank way. Sinube helped him to a sitting position a bit worried until Anakin blinked his eyes and saw Sinube's worried expression.
"Hi," he berkata his voice a little hoarse.
"You had me worried, youngling," Sinube berkata as he patted Anakin's face.
"Where am I?" Anakin asked as he looked around, "This doesn't look the the Jedi Temple. Where is everyone? Where is Ahsoka? She would be here if she knew I was sick. Is she still missing?"
Sinube swallowed hard knowing Anakin didn't remember anything of the past few weeks.
"It's a form of hysterical amnesia," the doctor berkata to Sinube, Obi-Wan, Jocasta, Plo, Windu and Yoda a few hours later.
"Heal, the boy will?" Yoda asked.
"He should with time. However, he needs to deal with the grief."
"He cried at the memorial," Obi-Wan said.
"A few tears doesn't clear the soul," Yoda answered, "In turmoil young Anakin is."
"Master Yoda is right," berkata the doctor, "Anakin will not get well until he fully deals with Ahsoka's death, and that means a total emotional breakdown. A good hard cry will get rid of all the negative feelings he has bottled up inside."
"Here, child,try to eat something," Madame Jocasta berkata while later as she tried to feed Anakin some soup.
Anakin shook his head and asked,"Where's Ahsoka? Why hasn't she come to see me?"
Jocasta swallowed hard and sat the bowl down on a bedside table.
"Anakin.....Ahsoka is dead. She's never coming back here. We had her memorial two weeks ago. anda passed out during it."
"No," Anakin berkata as he frowned, "She's still missing. When I get well, I'm going out to look for her and I don't care what the Jedi Council says! She's my Padawan and my responsibility!"
"Child," Jocasta berkata laying a hand against his face," She's gone.....forever."
Anakin's frown grew and he layed back down, his mouth in a near pout. He turned away from Jocasta and she saw him trembling and knew he was crying.
"She's still alive!" he cried out and pulled the blankets over his head.........
"Ssh, child, let Master Vokara heal you."
He calmed down but didn't close his eyes. He moaned while tossing and turning the fever going higher.
Master Vokara tried again to get him to sleep but Anakin wouldn't close his eyes. She contacted Master Yoda and it was decided to take him to the hospital. If Anakin's fever wouldn't drop, he would die.
