Around 10 years later, Reezy POV
I let the smile flow on my face as I chased Alarick through the trees. I knew he could hear me as he pushed himself farther. He's gotten slower. He's gotten old. I let my smile disappear as I slowed down and moved to the right through the trees.
Alarick paused and glanced behind him, heaving out a sigh. I held in my laugh as I moved to the tree to his right. He turned and jumped to the next tree. I leapt from my tree and knocked him to the ground.
I glanced down at him, giving him a grin, opening my mouth to show my teeth.
"Alright, alright. You caught me. Now let me up," he growled. I moved over and stood up.
"You thought you lost me," I laughed at him as he stood up and shook his hair out.
"Ya, ya. You caught me, so what?" He growled unhappily.
"Oh don't worry Alarick, I'm just going to tell all of your pack that I caught you andthat you couldn't find me," I told him, glancing at him.
"You wouldn't," he growled.
"I'm sure Chayse would love to hear all about her Lead Uncle's failure to outrun me, she can always outrun me," I teased him.
"She always did like to chase things, and go off on her own," he growled, glancing away from me then back at me. "Lets head back."
"Wait, can't we check on the village first," I whined doing my best asyyyriak eyes.
"Fine, one quick look," he sighed as I cheered and I climbed onto his back.
"Onwards," I commanded before letting out a small chuckle as he started trotting towards the village.
"You know I hate this right?" he growled, glancing up at me.
"I know, thats why I love it so much," I grinned at him. I heard him sigh and I noticed that the town came in sight. "Climb those boulders," I commanded him. He clambered up the boulders as I gripped his neck fur tightly. He reached the top and I let go and sat straighter. My green eyes darted across the town, noticing all the kids playing outside.
"Look! Guys look!" One kid shouted and pointed up to us.
"What?"
"Up on that boulder!" The same kid shouted.
""Its Adahy and Botilda!" Another one shouted. I didn't have to look at 'Adahy' to know he was beaming, not in pride, but in nervousness. His hair ruffled up slightly in agitation. I stifled a laugh.
"Alright big guy, lets head back," I told him, grabbing his hair again. He nodded in agreement before he jumped down from the boulders. He took off at a fast run through the woods.
"Reezy? Reezy you there?" Zero's voice crackled through my wrist-comm. Alarick slowed down to a walk and I let go of his hair to bring my wrist to my mouth.
"What is it Zero?" I asked him.
"Reezy we have a...um...visitor. I want you to come back," Zero commanded before cutting off. Alarick glanced back at me with confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know," I murmured softly. "Take me home Alarick," he nodded and bounded off at neck-breaking speed.
Zero POV
I sat at my small table and let out a sigh. Reezy was gone most days, we barely saw each other since the Jedi left. She never fully healed from her time with Count Dooku. I don't think that she trusts anyone anymore, she doesn't even trust me! She spends most of her time with the asyyyriaks, she helps protect them.
I put down my tools and let out a groan. I plunked my head down onto my table. I missed Reezy. I don't even know what she does with the asyyyriaks. I heard movement outside, my ears flicked.
Bushes crinkled, it wasn't Reezy, she was always silent and light on her feet. I got up and moved to the door. I glanced out to see the bushes waving franticly nearby. I grabbed one of my sabers and dove out of the ship and ran to the bushes. I activated my lightsaber and pushed it to the throat of the intruder.
I stumbled back in surprise at who was standing there. My mouth opened, closed, then reopened.
"Hi," the togruta girl mumbled, staggering on her feet. "Its been a long time," I gazed at the girl-no woman in front of me. Her face marred by scratches from the bushes. Also she looked very bruised and battered.
"Ah-Ah-Ahsoka," I finally gasped out. "What are you doing here?"
"Ya, I'm not a Jedi anymore," she sighed and closed her eyes. She stumbled forward and I ran forward to catch her.
"Come on, lets get you to the ship," I helped her move onto the ship and gently placed her down on a cot.
"Reezy? Reezy, are you there?" I placed the comm-link near my mouth.
"What is it Zero?" Came her slow reply.
"Reezy, we have a...um," I paused and glanced at Ahsoka before continuing, "visitor. I'd like you to come back," I cut off and moved next to Ahsoka. "So what did happen?"
"I got blamed for...killing some people that I didn't kill. I was framed, no one believed me. No one but Anakin," she murmured softly.
"Here, let me get you some water," I jumped up and raced to the nearby water supply, it was a small lake in the next clearing over. I scooped some up water into a nearby bucket before hauling it back to the ship. I grabbed a cup and dunked it in before handing the cup to Ahsoka. She grabbed it and shakily brought it to her lips before taking a sip.
"Thank you," she murmured.
"Hey Zero! What's this about a-" Reezy's voice just froze, I turned to see her staring at Ahsoka in shock.
"Reezy, Ahsoka's back," I informed her with a goofy grin. She turned her gaze to me before narrowing.
"Really? I wouldn't have noticed," she rolled her eyes. "Nice to see you again Ahsoka."
"You too, Reezy," Ahsoka said with a small smile.
"Listen, I promised Alarick that I would watch Alufa and Idris," Reezy turned and left. I gazed at her in sadness before letting out a sigh.
"I thought you two were close?" Ahsoka asked.
"We were, but after you guys left... It's like," I paused to think of the word, "its like, she doesn't trust anyone. She spends all her time with the asyyyriaks, she doesn't want to be with me anymore."
"Oh Zero, she probably is just trying to heal from Count Dooku. She stayed strong through it all, but I think her trust now needs to mend."
"That makes sense," I admitted grudgingly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure this will pass and you'll both be better in no time."
Reezy POV
I turned and walked slowly back towards Alarick.
"Can we go see Chayse now?" I asked him, he nodded and turned. He bounded away and I let out a small smile and rushed after him. He glanced back at me, his eyes widening in surprise as I raced past him.
I let out a laugh as the tension left my shoulders. I haven't trusted Zero for a while. I don't blame him for what happened, I just... I felt so helpless. I was angry at myself, if I can't trust myself, how can I trust Zero?
"Reezy!" A new voice brought me out of my thoughts.
Well, here you go, first chapter, so tell me what you think, and .5851, you were correct! Ahsoka has returned, and the characters list kinda gave it away that someone else is going to show up... Well please review and, well, I huess its just review!
