A/N: This is a story that has been plaguing my mind since i finished watching Star Wars The Clone Wars, and since i finished watching the first three movies. I decided to make a few changes and create a story with many of the basic plot points. Yes i should perhaps be finishing my other stories but i find myself having all of this plot bunnies running around my head...


Chapter 1

A Togruta youngling named Ahsoka had a dark orange complexion which contrasted beautifully with her white marks on her face, her Leku and montrals where white with blue stripes. She was rather on the skinny side, but that might have been due to her poor nutritional meals.

Among the Togrutas she had been extremely different, which was bad, even among the tribe she had been an outcast. She didn't eat rare meat, she refused to participate in hunting's, she seemed to know when tragedy was about to occur, she prefer to silently contemplate a flower than participate in social circles.

She had been given off to the Tribe leader to be raised but even he found her too strange, and soon returned her to her family. Who in turn, the first chance that they had. Sold her off to slave traders.

The men place her in a cage and soon she felt the ship depart. She wasn't sure how it happened. One moment she had been in a cage among other rarities, the next she felt a rush of darkness over take her, and before she realized the pilot was dead.

She had a metallic tasted in her mouth, as the ship began to descend rapidly the copilot had been standing above her, with a gun on his hands The moment the ship crashed he flew back thru the windshield, Ahsoka flew into the bottom of the controls, and lost consciousness.

She remembered her dream vividly that darkness that surrounded her, when out of nowhere a human who shine so brightly appeared before her in the darkness extended his hand to her with a smile. But Ahsoka didn't take his hand she couldn't see her hand from all the sticky red stuff that somehow blended with the darkness. He didn't seemed bothered as he waved at her to follow him. She took one step forward, only to have consciousness rushed to her.

Her eyes opened suddenly as she realized where she was. Her whole body ached, her head hurt so badly and she was cold and sticky. Her mouth tasted horrible but she couldn't spit because it was so dry. She tried to sit up but cried out in pain. She lay there for a while pushing back her tears.

It was dark and she couldn't see a thing. At first she believed she was blind but the moon was shining just slightly for her to see the interior of the ship. The events from her black out came to her as she laid there unable to move.

She had acted on instinct, and that instinct was cold and dark, she was angry and scared, she was just five years old and she held such hatred for the parents that abandoned her. Something made the bars in her cage bend enough for her to go thru. Something led her to where the men were piloting the ship, something made her crouch and hiss to draw their attention, when both of the men turned around towards her yell, and something had her jump at the pilot open her mouth and take a large chunk off his neck.

The other man grabbed her and threw her against the wall as he went to help his friend, but the same thing guided her body into avoiding injury, and making her land on her feet. She remember turning to look to the man, she remember the living man looking at her in fear, as she tilted her head sideways and liked her fingers that had still fresh blood.

She watched the man pull a blaster from his side his hands shaking as he looked at her in fear. Something within her seemed to love that, and that was what shocked her out of that darkness as the ship crashed into the sand the man flew out of the cockpits window, and Ahsoka who was close to the ground was slammed under the controls.

Her memories retuning made her breathing to accelerate making her side hurt, she was scared and alone, that night she tried to avoid sleep, she didn't want to sleep afraid of what she might see. As she was filled with fear, at herself and her surroundings.

Many hours later the sun began to rise, she watched as the light slowly filtered from the window and slowly made its way across the floor, it hurt to move, but slowly she got out from the controls. She laid on the open floor struggling to breath, she was hungry and thirsty and so tired, she couldn't move.

She collapsed into sleep tired and sunburned, and thirsty. She one again dreaming about a boy who shine so brightly she was afraid to touch and infect him with her darkness.

But this time instead of waving at her to follow him, as he had done previously, he reached out to her into the darkness and touched her hand lightly with just his digits as if afraid to hurt her. Ahsoka tried to move away but her body was frozen.

His fingers then moved and as if feeling for her hand, he found her hand and gripped it tightly. The boy smiled in victory, as her darkness began to disappear.

The boy smiled as she was slowly reveled from the darkness. Her body stopped feeling stiff and suddenly she could move her arms. The boy began to step away still holding her hand he pulled her along and as she took her first step, once again she felt herself slip back into consciousness

She woke up again, this time she stayed still, marveling from her vantage point of view the stars billions of stars before her, from the broken cockpit window. She stayed still as she watched the sky slowly shift as the sun began to rise. She didn't move a muscle too terrified of the pain.

She was still hungry and thirsty, and she knew she needed to leave the ship and find food soon or she would die. Slowly she braced herself as the sun continued to turn the sky into morning, she began to move to a sitting position, only to not feel any pain.

She slowly stood up not feeling any of the pain from before, and except for hungry and thirsty she was feeling better. The light was stronger allowing to see around her she saw the pilot slumped on the controls.

The cockpit had sand all over. She made her way out of there. She needed to eat something she let her instinct guide her to a kitchen. She made her way to the fridge and opened it. Looking at the food she quickly opened them and began to eat straight from the container.

She then drained one of the waters and took one for the road. She finally wondered out unto the dessert. Soon her water was gone and she was hot and thirsty and definitely lost.

She didn't know when but she collapsed onto the ground. That's how Shmi had found her, she and Anakin who had been heading home carried her to their place and nursed her back to health.

From the moment Ahsoka opened her eyes all her instincts were telling her that she was safe. At first thinking she was dreaming as the golden boy was holding her hand. He smelled of sunshine and oil. She closed her eyes but opened then once again when a woman who smelled related to the boy walked in.

The boy introduced himself as Anakin, and his mother as Shmi. They then talked a bit as he asked how she came to be on the dessert. His mother changed the dried towel and petted her head as she left.

She began to sing a song quietly and soon Ahsoka found herself falling asleep again.

They never pushed for more information, when she said she wasn't chipped they believed it because Togruta children where almost never abandoned and it was unheard of for them to be sold. That was why they fetched a high price while they were young, especially the age of Ahsoka.

When she asked where they were Anakin told her about Tatooine the planet that was in control of the Crime Hutt Family. He told her that it was said that all the scumbags of the galaxy had been on Tatooine the sandy planet at one point in their lives. He also explained that while the republic had banned slavery, Tatooine had not. And in fact Tatooine was the place to sell to, if you wanted to get money fast.

Anakin and his mother Shmi were slaves owned by a Toydarian called Watto. They had been won in a bet by him.

That's how her life in Tatooine began, she couldn't stay with them because their owner Watto, refused to feed a mouth that didn't belong to him.

Ahsoka managed to get a job with Jabba the Hut who was fond of rarity in species, parties, and violent fights. Being an abandoned Togruta female child which was rarity of itself he allowed her to work for him cleaning after the fights and parties, low pay but with a small room, which she accepted.

She worked early mornings and late nights, she tended to spend her evenings with Anakin who was six months older than her.

They were thick as thieves Anakin teaching her about building ships Ahsoka telling him about her home planet and all the trees and grass, how she climb the trees and swing from vines, and he would listen with wrap attention. Sometimes other children would approach to hear her stories.

Anakin was a smart boy although he was only six month older than her, he was and inventor, his current creation was a droid named C-3P0, he was not fully completed but he could translate for them any language.

Ahsoka wished to free the Skywalker family and all the money she got that was not used on meals she saved in order to buy them out.

She soon realized that the fastest way to win money was fighting. As she saw the contestant of the fight earn a large amount of money. For the following year Ahsoka watched their fighting styles teaching the movements she tended to practice alone not wanting to tell Anakin of what she had planned.

She wasn't sure if it was her instinct or just her natural acrobatic hunting nature but she could jump higher, move faster than Anakin, and if she concentrated she could break hard solid objects.

She knew her opponent would lower their defenses when they fought her. Being a child and she had every intention of exploiting it.

She also had a trump card, the darkness sometimes came to her although it only came when she pushed herself too far mentally.

The first fight happened by accident she had been ordered to serve drinks at one of the Hutts family parties, when one of the perverted guest decided to get handy with her. At six years old Ahsoka got sacred no one helped her as he began lead her out of the party her panic disappeared only for the darkness she hadn't felt since the ship had crashed rose from within her.

The humanoid male soon found himself face down as Ahsoka grabbed his hand twisted behind his back dislocating his arm making him yell out in pain. She was standing on his back while he lied on the floor moaning.

Instead of getting angry the partiers all laughed at the male before continuing their party. Jabba ordered the servants to bring him Ahsoka. She had expected to be reprimanded and fired or worse. But instead He laughed telling her that in his palace the only one to be protected was him and his, he expect everyone else to fend for themselves.

It was three years later that she approached Jabba about allowing her to enter the fight, he had denied her request saying it would be a waste to ruined such a good specimen.

Ahsoka then asked to allow to show her skill. Interested he agreed, he had one of his guards test her out, telling him to hurt her but not enough to stop her from working.

The man made to rush at her, but Ahsoka side swept him jumped and kicked him on his back making him slam his face unto the floor. Nose bleeding the man turned angry.

Her low stature prevent him from using his fist so he began to try to kick her. But she kept avoiding each of his move. It was when he made his fifth low spinning sweep kick that she jumped land on his knee swiftly raising her own she kneed his face using all her strength. She felt something crunch as the man flew back.

Jabba clapped exited certain that she would attract a large crowd knowing that even if she lost he would get a lot of money.

He agreed to reward her handsomely whether she won or lost. He gave her one week off to prepare.

She didn't tell Shmi or Anakin, she had seen the fighters, she had had to clean after them. If she died she didn't want them to blame themselves.

During that week she spent most of her time with Anakin, when he was busy she would work on the pod until he returned.

Although he asked why she wasn't at her job she told him she had a week off. He didn't ask anymore just happy to be able to spend so much time with his best friend.

The night before her fight Ahsoka sneaked into Anakin's room. It wasn't unusual. The first time she had sneaked into his room she had been crying, he couldn't get her to tell her why she was crying and eventually gave up and had comforted her to the best of his ability that day they fell asleep holding hands on his bed.

Ever since every time she was afraid she would sneak into his room. He wouldn't ask her questions but would pat her back until she fell asleep, holding her hand.

This time it was different as Ahsoka laid down on his bed he opened his eyes expecting to see her crying. But instead Ahsoka was smiling.

"Hey Ani." She said.

"Hi Soka." He murmur sleepily.

"Tomorrow I'm going to do a very big job." She said quietly. She watched him sleepily nod at her.

"Know Jabbs big fight." He slurred slightly still between sleep and awake.

"Yeah," her smile dimmed, Anakin noticed and sleepily put his arm around her waist. And watched as her smile returned. He shut his eyes, feeling the pull unconsciousness. "Hey Ani what are you dreaming of?"

"My mom and me are free, and were on planet with a lot of grass and where having a picnic surround by angels." Anakin smiled. He didn't open his eyes, so he didn't see her sad smile. But he did feel her hand go over his waist as she moved closer their foreheads touching.

"I'm going to very busy tomorrow, so stop by my house the next day, alright. I'll have a present for you."

Anakin nodded already falling into sleep smiling rubbing his forehead with hers.

They fell asleep dreming of the hope for their possible futures.
