I didn't overly want to go on this mission, I hate the way I always feel like I'm intruding on them being together but we were Jedi and our orders come first.
I sighed making my way into the control room of the ship. I couldn't believe they had even let Senator Amidala onto this ship, a war ship where things could go wrong at any given moment.
"Commander Tano where is Anakin Skywalker we need to speak to him urgently, Separatists ships have been spotted." Rex said to me. I nodded.
"I will find him, I actually need to speak to him too." I actually didn't need to speak to him I just didn't want to look like an idiot.
I walked to his quarters, if Separatists we attacking he needed to know and we needed to get out of here before they destroyed our ship.
"Master?" I called through the door. No answer, I opened it to see him nowhere in sight, great. I couldn't deal with this right now and either could the rest of our men. I huffed and decided to go see Padme; surely she would have to know where he was.
I walked down to her quarters and didn't bother to knock or call her name. She had always told me off for doing that, saying her door was always open and if it was me I would never have to bother. She was sort of like the big sister I never had.
The door slid open and I gasped. Anakin and Padme were kissing each other up against the wall of her cabin they quickly turned to look at me and Anakin's face dropped.
"Snips I-"I felt tears welling up in my eyes. This wasn't fair at all, I was always told to never hold any close or dear and he was doing this? More to the point he was doing this behind my back.
"Ahsoka wait!" He yelled as I ran in the other direction as fast as I could. He had never seen me cry and he wasn't about to. I felt as if I had just been stabbed through my chest and I had no idea why I felt like that.
I saw Rex and he turned to me with a shock looked on his face.
"Commander what's wrong?" He asked. I paused and then tried to speak.
"Can you please tell Anakin about the Separatists ship?" My voice cracked. He nodded then grabbed my arm softly.
"Kid seriously what's wrong?" He asked soothingly. I couldn't tell him, I couldn't ruin Anakin even if I wanted to. I shook my head then continued to walk back to my quarters when a loud crash sound came from the side of the ship. Rex flew to the side of the ship hitting his head and lying cold on the ground.
"Rex!" I screamed running over to him. He quickly came back around and grabbed my arm and looked into my eyes sending silent messages of get everyone ready, I nodded then ran towards the carrier.
My ship wasn't in there. Darn it was in repairs because I had stupidly crashed it, great. I ran towards a squadron of men.
"What's the damage?" I asked.
"They have taken out our left guns, so that's the side they are attacking from unless we get some fighters out there we don't stand a chance." Tat's said to me.
"Are they boarding the ship?"
"Yeah and we only have two Jedi's on this whole darn ship. You and your master so kid you better get ready." He said grabbing his space helmet.
"Alright you guys get up in the air and take out any new ships the tinnies are getting in the air; I will get the tinnies off our ship." I said running for the exit. I had to get that stupid kiss out of my mind in order for me to do this. But I couldn't it was stuck in my head, and I felt betrayed because of it.
I ran up to the side of the ship where the tinnies were getting in. They opened fire on me immediately pulling my light sabers out it all became a blur as I hit each one. It felt good to let some pain shine through. But I was sloppy, distracted by what I had just seen. I thrust my light saber into another droid and then ran towards the next batch when felt it hit me. A shot to my shoulder.
How could I have been so sloppy, I know I was distracted but I should have known more were coming through.
My light saber fell out of my hand and I fell to my hands and knee's trying to pick it up. I still had my shoto but what good was that when I was fighting fifty droids? I felt blood trickle down my shoulder blade as I saw the blue light. Anakin.
