Ahsoka POV
I sensed Anakin's pain, his concern, his worry, his melancholy and his sadness. What do I do now? The question rattled around my head. I had no family, the Jedi was my life I had no-where to go, what was I thinking. I felt sad and betrayed, I wasn't thinking straight. I continued down the steps at a steady pace with my mental shields up, I didn't want Anakin to worry. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I passed the storage rooms – there I picked up my few belongings. All my stuff was already packed, I picked up my lightsabers and felt the smooth, cool metal against my skin before dropping them in my bag. I put on my Jedi cloak and stepped outside. The sun had set completely, I jumped in my speader. Where will I go? I thought for a moment, Padme!
Padme POV
What a day, at least Ahsoka's ok. I jumped as the bell rang, 3PO answered the door. I recognised the brown cloak, her horns made visible indents in the hood. "Mistress Padme, miss Tano is here to see you," 3PO answered.
I embraced her we hugged for a long while when I saw a tear roll down her cheek. Something's not right, the only time she's ever cried was when she thought Obi-wan was dead. "Ahsoka what's wrong," she snivelled and started to cry.
"I left, I couldn't stay and now I feel so alone and I can't go back not now and…and.." I shushed her. And cradled her in my arms. She left? The Jedi is her life!
"Shush, it'll be ok, you can stay with me," she sniffed,
"Really?" "I wouldn't have it any other way!" I hugged her tighter. I could see she was tired, I took her to the spare room, she practically collapsed on the bed. Hush child, you've had a busy week.
As soon as I was sure she was asleep I went to contact Anakin, I found three messages from him – all about Ahsoka. I rang him to reassure him she was fine and staying with me.
Ahsoka POV
I woke up. What happened? Then I remembered. I glanced at the clock it was 1 in the afternoon, that's not bad. Then I saw the date – I'd slept all through yesterday! "About time you woke up!" that voice,
"Lux? What are you doing here?" he had been on Onderon for a few weeks.
He hugged me, "Padme told me everything, are you ok?" I nodded. He was so sweet. His smile made me melt into his arms!
"Aww, that's so cute!" I turned to see Riyo Chuchi in the door way giggling, I gave her a scowl. Anakin said my stares could kill. I winced at the memory. Lux smirked,
"Careful, she might not be a Jedi anymore but she's still dangerous," Riyo waved him off,
"Don't I know it, you ok?"
"Yeah, a bit unsure of myself,"
"Wonders never cease!" Padme walked in. I hopped out of bed and followed her into the kitchen and saw a huge stack of pancakes.
Padme POV
I watched the three teenagers dig in to the pancake stack, I knew Jedi only ate freeze dried rations, I knew she would appreciate some real food. I had called Lux and Riyo because I knew she needed her friends, especially after Barriss. The TV suddenly made an important announcement, "The questioning of Barriss Offee took a strange turn when she was killed in her cell by a Cad Bane, he is in custardy and has admitted Dooku was behind the assassination and had used a mind-control necklace on Miss Offee, here is a clip from before she died, she insisted it be televised." It showed Barriss drenched in sweat, her face was tired and horrified, she looked up, "I know no-one wants to see this, or hear it, I'm a monster, I didn't know what I was doing. But I need to say this I am so sorry to everyone, the families, workers and Jedi I hurt," she winced before continuing, "I am especially sorry to Ahsoka Tano – you were my best friend and I nearly ruined your life, you can't fathom how bad I feel please, please know I didn't mean it. You have a big, forgiving heart of gold and I betrayed you, please believe me. Please forgive me!" the footage cut off as did the TV I decided to turn it off, I glance at Ahsoka. She was crying Lux and Riyo had their arms around her. She was 17, as a Jedi she'd bottled up her emotions and feelings for 14 years and now they were breaking free. The door bell rang, 3PO answered and walked into the lounge with Anakin and Obi-Wan.
What do obi-wan and Anakin want? What did Ahsoka mean when she said she had no family? Is love in the air with her and Lux?
Short chapter I know, chapter 2 coming soon! It was kind of hard to read so I quickly revised it!
