    Title My Last Breath

    A/N The first time I heard this song and actually listened to the words, I had to stop reading TUF because I was so stricken with how these words just fit with the situation. I realize that the words of the happenings are not quite like what happened in Star By Star, since I don't have the book with me right now.
    Oh, and if you read this, please tell me what you think.


    The stillness of the Mrkyr group was unnatural for those seconds, those merciless seconds. Behind them or in front of them, whichever the beholder called it, Anakin's lightsaber was moving in a blur as he blocked the blows of amphistaffs directed at him, the blows meant to end what was already ending: his life.

    Tahiri watched on with tear-watered eyes, refusing to look away, yet at the same time dreading the moment that would be his last. Yet there was nothing she could do, nothing to be tried. As a tear traced it's way down her cheek, what remained of Anakin fell the the ground, his lightsaber's blade extinguishing as his hand hit the ground.

    [b]Hold on to me love
    You know I can't stay long
    All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid
    Can you hear me?
    Can you feel me in your arms?[/b]

    The strange vessel burst through space, at last making the jump to hyperspace. Nom Anor's coralskipper, to be precise. Yet that fact meant nothing to Tahiri as she sat in one of the private compartments on board the living vessel. Her dirt-streaked face mingled with the salty tracks of fresh tears, shed over her vigil of watching over Anakin's body.

    That was all the was left of him to her, after all, the only thing she had to hold onto besides the memories. And memories would become stained with age, like tissue paper with waterstain. She reached out one hand slowly, as if to touch him cheek, yet stopped her fingers before she could feel his skin. She didn't want to touch his pale cheek, didn't want to feel it cold to her. Tahiri just wanted to remember him as the living being she'd held tight to a few weeks before, to remember his hand warm in hers.

    [b]Holding my last breath
    Safe inside myself
    Are all my thoughts of you
    Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight[/b]

    If he could've, he would've reached out and wiped the tears he saw streaking down her face. He would've taken her in his arms and dried her tears and just held her until he was sure she was fine. He would've refused to leave her side ever.

    But he couldn't.

    All he could do was feel his heart's ache as he watched Tahiri put her face in her hands. At this point, Anakin would've done anything to blot the tears and heal the wound, but he couldn't. Never again could he make the journey between the living and those who had become one with the Force. If he could've, he would've found a way to do it. But there was no way for him to reach out and touch her, make everything alright if he could. No, never again.

    [b]I'll miss the winter
    A world of fragile things
    Look for me in the white forest
    Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
    I know you hear me
    I can taste it in your tears[/b]

    Already sitting on her knees, Tahiri's eyes blurred over as she watched Anakin's motionless face. It looked to be carved from wood, so still it was. But that was to be expected, of course. With a cry that she muffled in biting the muscle of her palm, Tahiri silently wished the Force would put an end to what she'd found out to be a nightmare called her life.

    But as most wishes of that kind go ungranted and unfullfilled, the blonde-haired Jedi merely cried herself dry, unable to so much as glance at the body across the small room. What had she done to deserve this? This war and the Yuuzhan Vong had already taken so much from her life, starting with

    Whoa. ANOTHER Evanescence songfic. This is, like, the happiest day of my life. I love Evanesence, and their popularity makes me smile.

    That being said, whoa, again. This story, though it kinda goes agains SbS, was fantastic, and I personally think Tahiri SHOULD have been with Anakin when he died. Great job, I think my eyes were watering.

    I loved this line. It's true but depressingly so. :(

    I loved this Song Fic. It fit perfectly. :_|

    The_Jedi_Ambyr-Rose *blushes* My thanks!

    Targeter Hehehe.. Yes, I do know why. ^_^ Thanks for reading!

    J&J Glad to know I'm not the only one who cried. *grins slightly* I got halfway through writing it and I had tears streaming down my face.

    Tenelfan The one using My Immortal? Yeah, I just saw that, actually...*blushes* I'm sorry for using the idea...

    YodaKenobi Thank you so much! Yeah, I knew she wasn't there when he died...but...well, considering the bond they obviously had you'd assume she could see something like through his eyes... *shrugs* But thanks again!

    EJ *gasps and splutters* I got you to read my thread?!! *calms down...or tries to* Thanks so much!

    Boba_Fett YAY! Another Evanescence Lover!! I used Taking Me Over as my last songfic in my Songfic Collection. ^_^

    That being said, whoa, again. This story, though it kinda goes agains SbS, was fantastic, and I personally think Tahiri SHOULD have been with Anakin when he died. Great job, I think my eyes were watering.
    *grins wickedly* I'm glad you liked it!! Don't worry, I was crying, as I mentioned above.

    JoD *blushes more* Not horrible...pft. Whatever. But thanks!

    That was all the was left of him to her, after all, the only thing she had to hold onto besides the memories. And memories would become stained with age, like tissue paper with waterstain.
    You found my favorite line. I loved that part...it just sounded so right to me.

    I loved this Song Fic. It fit perfectly.
    *offers you a tissue while basking in praise*

    Thanks again to everyone who commented!

    good thing you uped it! Because I absolutely LOVED this! Poor Tahiri and Anakin! :( I put off reading SbS till january... I couldn't bring myself to admit Anakin died.... i still can't! :) This is a well written song fic... it'd be interesting if you continued it... perhaps gave Ani someway to see Tahiri again? ;) I always hope for sequals. This is awesome by its self, though, and well written!

    Hehe, I've already got myself a complete Jag/Jaina/Kyp Songfic thread, maybe I'll come up with some Anakin/Tahiri stuff. *nods* It'll be good. Then I can perhaps use your idea. :D

    "As a HUGE Anakin and Tahiri fan, who has been severly ticked off at NJO ever since the DAMNATION book SBS.
    I cried in that book, actually..."

    Oh, so did I... Read that scene, that last bit, at something like 1am cause I'd stayed up reading it.. ;_;

    I like this. Even if I don't like Evanescence, I like this.. Oh, it's the Anakin fan in me (that is, MY ENTIRE SOUL), it gets sucked in so easy.
