A/N: Well here's the sequel to Chasing after a dream. Here's a recap of what happened…
Anakin finally woke up to a dark room. He rubbed his eyes and tried to stand up. But, since Ventress weakened his ankle again, he could stand. He cursed under his breath. "Hello?" he yelled. "Is anyone here?" he heard a lightsaber ignite. "There she is," he crawled to the opening, only to see Ahsoka, walking angrily into his cell. "Ahsoka!"
"Hello, my old Master…" she said in a cold voice.
"Old?" he was a little confused… "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," she said. Extinguishing her blade, she tossed it at the floor. "I'm sorry Anakin, but to end this war I must turn against the Jedi," Anakin's heart stopped.
"Turn against them? Why?"
"I've have seen that the Jedi will stand in the way of peace," herface and eyes were not the same and Anakin knew it.
"Something is wrong with you Ahsoka. You have to snap out of it," Ahsoka looked at the floor. An arm wrapped itself around her shoulders. Ventress' face came into the light. Ignoring the pain of the ankle, Anakin stood up. "What did you do to her?"
"What I was told to," she said simply.
"What? Turn her against me?" tears welled in Anakin's eyes.
"She was going to anyway. My master saw it,"
"Dooku is an evil liar!" he yelled through the tears. "Ahsoka listen to me. This isn't you! I love you Snips!"
A tear trickled down his face. He lost her. His Padawan. His love. He had lost her. Ahsoka turned and walked out of the room, but she stopped at the doorway. "I love you too SkyGuy," she walked out. Ventress sneered.
"She's ours now. And there's nothing you can about it," she laughed as she exited the room.
"Ahsoka!" Anakin's voice cracked. His heart had been ripped in two. Not only did his Padawan turn against the republic, but to him as well. "Ahsoka!"
Anakin screamed Ahsoka's name for hours before the ship landed on Geonosis. Grievous picked Anakin up and carried him onto the base. Count Dooku and Darth Sidius stood waiting for them. Ahsoka stood with Ventress, lightsaber in hand. Anakin glared at her with bloodshot eyes. Another tear trickled down his cheek.
"You have done well my young apprentice. Now we have them both in our grasp," Dooku slowly said. Anakin finally lost his temper.
"You kriffing traitor! What did she ever do?" he yelled. Edging his way to Dooku and Sidius, he screamed until his voice couldn't handle it anymore. "She's only seventeen! Why couldn't you just kill me instead of putting her through this! Why!" his voice finally gave out. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Ahsoka couldn't bare to watch him suffer anymore.
"You will become of such use to us in due time, young Skywalker," Sidius said. "Ahsoka, my dear, why don't you prove yourself and kill him," Anakin gasped. Ahsoka was going to kill him. Ahsoka nodded to Sidius. The others left the room to leave Ahsoka and Anakin alone.
"I'm sorry master," she ignited her blade.
"Do what you have to Ahsoka. Just know, when you kill me, I want you to know, I love you and I always will," Anakin bowed his head and closed his eyes. Ahsoka looked down at him. A tear ran down her face.
"I love you too Master," she raised her lightsaber and hum echoed through his ears. This was it. This was the end of The Chosen One. Killed by his own Padawan.
Ahsoka raised her blade above her head and listened for the slashing of her Master's death. She didn't want to kill him, but to bring peace… she had too.
"I'm so sorry Master. I will always love you,"
Yeah… we left off to where Ahsoka was going to kill her old master. Here ya go! R&R =D
Chapter One.
Anakin closed his eyes and waiting for his end. Another tear trickled down his face. His beloved Padawan was going to kill him. He said it himself a few years ago when he first met Ahsoka, "…You're going to be the death of me one day Snips…"
Now Ahsoka was really going to be the death of him. The Chosen One.
Ahsoka raised her lightsaber, ready to strike when she quickly slashed the table next to them in two. Anakin's head shot up. He went say something but Ahsoka shushed him. "I couldn't do it Master. I can't kill you…" Anakin looked into her eyes. "I'm gonna sneak you out of here, but you have to leave and don't come looking for me…"
"What?" Anakin whispered. Ahsoka sadly nodded.
"I'll find you I promise…" she laid a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I promise, I'll find you…" Ahsoka took out a small communicator and placed it in Anakin's hand. "This is the only way we'll be able to stay in contact… but I'll contact you… don't contact me…" Ahsoka walked a short distance away from Anakin. He was completely dumbfounded. Anakin slowly turned head to his young Padawan.
"What does this mean?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Ahsoka said not making eye contact.
"What does this mean… what does us mean?"
"Anakin, there is no us anymore. Dooku ruined that…" Ahsoka said harshly. "He showed me the future… and what you and I will become…"
"And what's that Ahsoka!" Anakin finally stood up. He was fed up with the nonsense. Ahsoka was silent as she turned to him. Her eyes as hard as his. She gently placed her hands on her hips and shifted her weight. She sighed.
"You really want to know… or do you prefer to see for yourself?" Ahsoka said, it was like she was taunting him.
"Damn it Ahsoka. Just tell me!" Anakin was becoming furious. He never cursed to Ahsoka before. He rarely cursed at all. The only time Anakin ever cursed was when and if he were caught doing something he wasn't supposed to.
"You turn to the Dark Side, Anakin," Ahsoka said turning her body away from him. She heard Anakin gasp faintly.
"What about you?" he asked quietly.
"You kill most of the younglings in the Temple, Vader…" Anakin raised a brow.
"Vader?"
"That would be you Sith name… and while you're on your killing spree, I was in the Temple… teaching a class of nine year olds about patience," she said. Anakin scoffed.
"You teaching patience?" he teased.
"This isn't funny Anakin," she turned and looked at him, her eyes flashing a nasty yellow color.
"What do I do?" he bowed his head. Ahsoka didn't want to continue, but in order to save Anakin from himself, she must.
"From what I remember, you kill all the younglings. Including me…" she finally bowed her head. She couldn't imagine Anakin Skywalker killing his own Padawan. Or the woman he loved.
"I couldn't kill you Ahsoka…"
"Well you do… and I don't want to talk about this anymore. It hurts too much. Now go…" she pushed out the window behind him. "Rex should be waiting for you at the bottom…" she turned away. Anakin walked up behind her.
"Ahsoka…" he turned her to face him. Ahsoka didn't look at him directly. She couldn't bare to look at him. He lifted her head by her chin so that she could look at him, "Ahsoka, listen to me…" he put his hands on her shoulders. "I don't care what Dooku showed you. That isn't me. That monster isn't me. I would never hurt you. I would never hurt younglings. I love you too much to hurt you like that," Ahsoka broke free from his hand. Her body turned the opposite direction. She lifted her hand to her face and chewed on the thumb nail.
"How do you know that for sure?" she said in a quiet voice.
"I don't…" he admitted. "But as long as I have you, I won't," Ahsoka turned to face him again.
"And if you do… then what?"
"Then…" he paused, "Then you'll have no choice but to kill me," a tear ran down Ahsoka's face. "I can't be walking around killing children for my own amusement. It's not right. It's not the Jedi way," Ahsoka got closer to him. Anakin grabbed her hands. "Just promise me you'll stay in contact with me,"
"I'll contact you when I can Anakin," she said. Anakin nodded. He dropped her hands and started to the window. "Anakin!"
Anakin's body turned to face her. Ahsoka immediately threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Anakin held her waist and deepened the kiss. Anakin sensed that Rex was waiting outside the window. He broke the kiss. "I have to go. I love you Ahsoka," he hugged her one more time before leaving her.
"I love you too Anakin," Anakin let her go and walked to the window. He felt in his pocket the communicator that Ahsoka had given him. Ahsoka watched as her master leapt from the window into the Rex's speeder.
"Let's get out of here Rex," Anakin said. Rex nodded and Anakin looked back to see Ahsoka watching through the window. He raised his hand to wave as Rex sped off.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Ahsoka walked to the window to see Anakin land in Rex's speeder. She leaned down on her arms to see him speed off. She saw him turn around and wave goodbye to her. That would be the last time she would ever see him. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned around to see Ventress standing in the door way. She gasped.
"Ventress!" Ahsoka said realizing her lightsaber wasn't on her hip. It was Ventress' hand.
"You let Skywalker go?" she sneered.
"No… he got away…" she lied.
"Liar, you let him get away…" she walked to Ahsoka and slapped her. "You ignorant fool!" just as Ventress was about to slap Ahsoka again, Darth Sidius came in behind her.
"Ventress, my young assassin, will you please not hurt our newcomer…" Ventress whipped around.
"She let Skywalker go!"
"I know she did. I could sense that she didn't have it in her to do away with The Chosen One," Sidius walked to Ahsoka, who was trembling, "Why did you let him go young one?" he said softly.
"I love him Master," Ahsoka bowed her head. Ventress scoffed in disgust. Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at her and lost her temper. "What's wrong Ventress? You can't find anyone who loves you for you? So you have to destroy others? Is that why you wanted Anakin and I separated? Or are just jealous?" Ventress' face hardened. She picked Ahsoka off the ground in a force choke.
"You better watch your tongue, you little brat!"
"Put her down Asajj…" Sidius said. Ventress didn't listen. Ahsoka kicked her legs, struggling against her grip. "I said put her down!" Ventress listened. Ahsoka fell to her knees, gasping for air.
"My Lord, we have to find Skywalker and kill him…"
"I disagree, my assassin… for my plan to fall into action… we need him alive…"
Ventress turned and walked out of the room. Ahsoka turned her head and saw Anakin's lightsaber in the corner. She looked at the Sith Lord. "If you'll excuse me my lord, I would like to meditate…"
"As you wish, young one…" Sidius exited the room. Ahsoka walked over to the corner and picked up his blade. "Of course he would forget his lightsaber," she said to herself. She giggled. "Nothing changes…"

Anakin stood in the Jedi Temple with Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"The Separatist Fleet that attacked the medical base took Ahsoka and myself, Master! I have to find her!" Anakin slammed on the briefing table.
"I know Skywalker… but if Ahsoka told you not to go looking for her, then she has a plan…" Mace said quietly.
"Anakin, I'm sure she'll be fine. You taught her well…"
"Master, she's not a Jedi anymore… she needs my help because I lo-" he stopped himself. Only two council members knew about Ahsoka and himself. Maybe it was time they all knew… "Because I love her…" Mace took this by surprise.
"Love her? You know about the attachment law Skywalker…"
"I don't care about the laws, Master! Ahsoka has made me stronger, and I need her by my side again. She's my Padawan, she's my responsibility!"
"We'll look more into the laws Anakin… let's just focus at the task in hand…"
"I think that this has been shot into the open… we should handle it now, Master Kenobi…" Mace said, narrowing his eyes at Anakin.
"Expel me if you want… I'm going after Ahsoka…"
"Anakin wait!" Obi-Wan called.
"I can't Master!"
"Yes you can. Or we will expel you…" Mace crossed his arms. "How long has this been going on?" Anakin lowered his eyes.
"A few months…"
"Months?"
"We thought we could keep it underneath the wraps… but now that she's gone… I don't know what I'll do…"
Mace sighed. "Come the Council Room in one standard hour. We'll the will of the Force decide if you stay a Jedi or not…" Mace exited.
"That went well…" Obi-Wan said.
"Yeah right. I'm going to be expelled. I don't care anymore… I have to get Ahsoka back in my arms…"
"She will be Anakin… we just need time…"
"Time isn't on our side Obi-Wan," something clicked in Anakin's head, "And thanks for sticking up for me like you said you would," Anakin rushed out of the room and into his quarters, leaving Obi-Wan speechless.
"Wonderful… now I've lost them both…" Obi-Wan's shoulders sunk.
Anakin flopped on his bunk and stared into the ceiling. "I'm going to have you again, Ahsoka… I promise,"
"I'll find you… I promise…" Ahsoka's voice echoed through Anakin's head. "I promise,"
A/N: Well how is it? I think it's a little rushed but things will level out soon.
Crazy Uncle: Well of course I can't kill off Anakin. He's too cool too. About the council members knowing about Anakin and Ahsoka… I don't know how I came up with that idea… but ya know… people can't keep their secret forever before someone finds out =D
