Hi guys!
This is my first story! So I hope you guys like it! If you comment and review then I'll probably continue. I'm trying this from Ahsoka's POV. But it may change to third person cause that's a bit easier.
Still thinking of a good summery, but basically this is a mix between Mirrors Edge and Clone wars. I hope you guys like the first chapter and tell me what you think!
Summery: Ahsoka Tano is a Jedi padawan...most of the time. Before she even considered being a Jedi Knight, she was a runner. A runner is someone who carries out messages from different sorts of people. Ahsoka has never given information to the dark side though! But when a close runner friend is captured, and Anakin and herself are sent out to save them. Ahsoka must make a choice, either continue to pretend that she isn't a runner, or come out and save someone in trouble.
My name is Ahsoka Tano, and I'm a padawan….during the day. At night, I leave the Jedi temple and fulfill something else. I'm also known as a runner. Now, I should of given it up the moment I was assigned a master. Because of our missions and our long trips away from the temple I normally don't carry out the messages I'm suppose too. But let me tell you, being a runner is what got me to be a padawan. And, I was the padawan to Anakin Skywalker.
- Time Skip -
I haven't been a runner in almost 3 years. I'm eighteen and have been through more battles then I can remember….But once a runner, you're always a runner.
'Ahsoka. Ahsoka! Focus! Aright. The package needs to be delivered on Main street and Iola. Be careful…Your easy to spot now that you're a Jedi padawan…'
Here I was, running again. My master, Anakin had taken off leaving me for the night. Patrolling duty around the city, just what I needed. Taking a look down from the building, I prepared myself for a jump. I was a good ten story drop, but I was good at my job. Taking a running leap, I fell through the air only to quickly force push and roll onto the roof of the building across the way. It felt good to be apart of the city again, but I couldn't always hide this life forever. One day I would have to give it up entirely. Taking a running start, I flew from building to building. Nothing could stop me, I was the best runner that they had. And with all my other training, I was even better.
'You better look out. I got something on the wires around the area your in. They felt the force push. You better get going Ahsoka!'
I guess I had forgotten about that. Taking another jump to a building, I could feel their own forces getting closer. Dropping down on street level, it was time to get serious. Dodging people was easy, but knowing that someone was on my tail wasn't! I had to get to the drop off point, or hand it over to someone and led whoever was following me away.
"Get Tilla close. We're going to have to hand off. I'll lead them away"
Tilla was another runner, she hadn't been around as long as I had. But she was still good for being new to the whole situation. And being able to adapt quickly was a skill that could just save your butt.
'Rodger. She's on her way.'
"Stop! You!"
Shit! Had they already picked up on me again? Bolting from my spot I quickly climbed to the roofs0, it was only a mere moment before Tilla was in front of me. Handing her the bag she disappeared while I continued to run. I had to get higher, further away from the two men. I could tell they were getting closer! Skidding to a stop, I looked up to see a glowing light saber. The face told me it was Rex, but he couldn't recognize me. Not with a hood and a mask on….But that meant that my master was behind me! Spinning, my fears were confirmed. How had they caught me? Was I that noticeable within the force?
"Halt! Now, we don't want to use force…We just want to ask you a few questions"
I knew his tricks all too well, and sadly I wasn't able to confront him either. He was my master, but if he had known…It wasn't an option. Turning to the side, I quickly ran for the ledge. I could hear him yell out but I quickly jumped over without a second thought. It was only with the force that I was able to make the last few feet till the text roof. I had to keep running. I could tell he was following me, and in the next instant I felt myself slammed into a near wall. Groaning with the pain that shot through my body, I quickly ducked off the building. I hadn't expected him to actually use the force on me! With pain sinking through my body, I tried to quickly hid from their sights. It wasn't the easiest of tasks once they were following.
'Ahsoka. I think you lost them…You better get back before they notice you're missing."
Taking a breath, I slumped against a near by ally wall. I still had to return to a runner hideout and take off the things that concealed my face and body. Limping slightly I began to head to the nearest one, about a three blocks away. Once everything was off and back in its place, I had the run back to the temple before my master returned to our room to find me missing. It was hard getting back to the temple, the only difficult part was pretending like I wasn't a bit sore from being sent flying into a wall. Only a few people actually greeted me, and I was able to make it back to my room that I shared with my master with a few moments to relax and gather my thoughts. Once I reached my bed, I basically flopped down face first. I knew he would be back soon, probably riled up that he hadn't been able to catch the runner. He had been close, a bit too close for comfort. Ahsoka wasn't even sure what would happen if he had been the one to catch her, and she wasn't exactly ready to find out either. Would he be angry? That was most certainly a yes, much to Ashoka's displeasure. Turning onto her back, Ashoka blankly stared at the ceiling. Now she had to wait for her master to return and then listen to his entire rant about the night. And she knew all too well about what had happened. Hearing the doors slide open, I figured it was time to get the rant over with.
"Hey Snips" Anakin called towards her, Ahsoka looked up with a half smile upon her lips.
"Hello Master, how did patrolling go?" Biting her lower lip, Ahsoka watched and waited.
"Horrible. Some runner got away, they were fast too. But, I did get one good hit in"
Looking up from my spot, I arched an eyebrow with a skeptical look "What do you mean Master?" He looked rather pleased with himself, if only he had known that hit had been on me! "A simple slam into a wall with the force. It should have at least hurt them a bit." Yeah, it did hurt…A LOT. "Good job master" I replied, a fake smile upon my lips as I laid back down. I knew I was going to be sore tomorrow! "Are you tired Snips?" I could hear him walking towards the refresher. "Mhm" I mumbled in response, far too concerned with sleeping rather actually responding to him.
"Ahsoka…Ahsoka…Wake up!" I heard my masters voice, but I didn't want to wake up. I knew once I moved I would feel all the pain and soreness from yesterday. Blinking slowly, I could already feel the pain seeping in. "I'm up…" I mumbled, turning onto my side as I pushed myself up. What would happen today? A thought that I hardly wanted to actually consider. Last night had been a close call...And I could only imagine how today and tonight would go.
