Title: Close Call.
Summary: Anakin's recovery after being attacked by the wampa on Hoth. RR-verse.
Warnings: Other than some Nightmare Fuel regarding the wampa and my rusty writing skills (plus bad attempts at humor) nothing much.
Darkness swam in his vision. A giant paw, colliding with his face. The screams of his dying tauntaun, devoured by the wampa...
...awakening in the wampa's cave...
..."The Dagobah system. Take him there. Have Yoda train him."...
...pain, splitting pain...
...Vader calling out to him. Anakin...Anakin Skywalker...
"Anakin!"
Anakin stirred -- his entire body hurt. Somehow, he'd been hurt out there -- the wampa had gotten him...
Wampas. How could I have been so stupid? Instead of high-tailing it out of there when he had the chance, he'd gotten his mount killed and himself nearly eaten like the most amateur pilot in the Rebel Alliance. I'm smarter than this. How did this happen?
And Obi-Wan...
Obi-Wan's voice, filtering through the freezing pain. "Easy, Anakin. Hold onto me. I've got you. Easy..."
Obi-Wan had saved him. Somehow, that was twice that Obi-Wan had saved his life. That's two I owe you, he thought, grinning weakly at Obi-Wan.
"You gave us quite a fright," Obi-Wan said. "We thought you wouldn't survive. I say you never fail to surprise me, Anakin."
"I have a talent for that," Anakin said, keeping his voice light. Or maybe I'm just absurdly lucky... "How have you been?"
Obi-Wan grimaced. "Frightfully bored."
"Really?" Anakin arched an eyebrow playfully.
Obi-Wan laughed. "They keep playing the same tedious holovids again and again," he said. "It's a matter of time before the line 'Did you steal the Toydarian sourfry?!' becomes tiresome."
"I don't know," Anakin said. "I say any holovid that manages to sneak that line in should be worthy of a few watches."
"It's not as well-executed as it sounds."
It was then that Padme and Palpatine walked inside.
"Anakin!" Padme said. "You terrified us -- how are you feeling?"
"A little sore."
"How did you even get out of there?" Padme asked. "It's not every day -- "
"It wasn't anything spectacular, really."
"Oh," Palpatine said, "Don't be modest, my boy -- "
It was only at 0500 that the medical droid dismissed them from the room. Anakin sighed and fell into a deep sleep. He'd survived a wampa attack. There was nothing about the situation that could get worse.
And yet in a way, he couldn't help but have a niggling feeling that somehow, his situation
our situation
wasn't over yet.
