Well this is going(Trying to be) my first 'novel'. I am trying to have at least one complete story. I had lost interest in my other story Into the Labyrinth, and my laziness was also the problem. But now it's getting back to work. I had many great reviewers like Billyduncan, and Ryanpotter so please check their stuff out! :)
But i really want to thank my awesome beta reader SerendipityAEY for her amazing work. She is probably the best helper and writer, and she has helped with my story so much, and it wouldn't be a story without her, so i highly recommend reading her superb stories! Thank you friend! :D
Also i would like to thank Laloga and Sachariah for their awesome stories and helpings with my other stories! (Clapping)! Thank you to all of you! Now let's start the story...
Their eyes connected, palms placed on the window shield keeping them apart. A cold stretch inflicted Ahsoka, making it even harder for her to conceal from herself the fact Lux was leaving, probably forever. His face was in solemn and it soon dissolved as the pod evacuated leaving no trace of his face anymore. She heard the odd, clanging, engine roar, exhausting purple fumes from its back. Only Lux was on her mind. His dazzling eyes and wavy black hair that moved through the current. Ahsoka closed her eyes, picturing her friend's face one last time before having to forget it. Why did she let him go? Go off to the abyss of the galaxy, which had shrouded his very thoughts. Times had changed for him and now there was a chance for him to have a new life, but now there was no chance for them to see each other one last time...
{Dream}Ahsoka woke, finding herself on her metal bed. Her body was postured, a figure with light curves. Her shortly skimmed clothing moved with her pose. She drew herself up, realizing that Lux had not shown his face for days, and she felt guilty for leaving him behind.
She rubbed her darkly lit eyes, focusing back onto her surroundings. Her skin tone was an absurd color and her head-tails were growing a slightly larger size since the last couple of days. The room was a dark shade of color. No peeps or voices were heard, just her low exhaust of a breath, carrying a sorrowful cry. Ahsoka was on the Hailbringer, completing a mission with her master, Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka did not care for the idea of waiting to attack. The ship was very squalid, but she and Anakin were called out to attack the Separatists down on Wallala anyway.
Ahsoka had been dealing with nobody except space. Driving a starfighter to a base, back and fourth, then being stuck on a ship for days was no fun. It felt like she was the only one around. (I'd change this to "the only person alive," because it sounds more poetic, but that's just a suggestion.)
The hatch that led to the ship's hallway opened up showing a familiar face. A phase two clone was revealed. He had blue markings with an aberrant helmet, which curved the boundaries of his face. Two pistols were concealed in the slots around his torso, and a blackKamawas wrapped around his waist. A fading blue pauldron was centered on his neck as well. Ammo pouches were planted next to his pauldron.
"Commander, General Skywalker has called you to the bridge immediately." The clone addressed her, in a very calm manner. The darkness had now faded, and the clone was now more obvious to Ahsoka.
"Okay Rex, I will be there shortly." She replied, jumping to her feet. The cold floor almost swept her off her feet, feeling like she had not stood since she and Lux had carried out their "mission" just a few weeks before. Ahsoka smelt the crisp air of the ship, along with the variety of food that was being eaten by the clones.
With the smell of food, she was starting to get hungry, but Skywalker had to come first. Rex moved his arm, pointing her out to the bright hall. Yellow floors and a pale grey wall was all she saw. Angles and curves swiveled around, connecting the other fragments of the ship.
Hordes of clones silently paced out of the halls as though they were afraid of her. Ahsoka felt different than usual. An ongoing headache pounced on her everyday. It kept her from concentrating. Ahsoka did not want to tell anyone, but she felt she needed to. Every time her two clipped lightsabers turned on, the lightened vibration of vibrant colors seemed to be attacking her.
Is this normal? Or am I just hallucinating? She questioned her mind. No answer came from her mind. Her consciousness had left her body to find a new ideal. Ahsoka did not ken these hallucinations but she had heard of Jedi experiencing these things. She shook herself awake, watching herself walk into another hall way.
The two had accompanied another group of clones to the bridge. Some clones rushed to the corridors, to get a rest, while other clones went for some grub. Rex informed several clones to get prepared. Ahsoka wondered why Rex had informed them. Was there an attack coming up, or another mission? They strolled into onto another floor that opened up to the Bridge.
"What is wrong captain?" Ahsoka asked, stepping into a bluely lit room. A table with cubes of blue was in front of them, and a couple of monitoring systems were on the sides, with naval officers sitting in the seats. Her hands gave a tiny nudge when Rex had not answered.
"I think you should talk to the General, sir."
Ahsoka rolled her eyes at him. She ignored the further argument; she had no time to argue at all. The doors slid open, exposing her master and Admiral Yularen. They both had their hands clasped behind their backs. The two stared at the stars that glistened with white sparks of colors.
Ahsoka wandered forward, letting Rex wait at the back corridor of the Bridge. She looked down where the control panels were held with several officers sitting in the seats. Yularen, whose scruffy brown mustache had shades of white in it, faced Ahsoka. His brown hair curved back into a minute bun and his green suit blended with the floor plan.
"Commander Tano" Yularen centered, crossed her. He bowed his head, allowing Tano to do as well. The Admiral soon left the area, fleeing to the hologram room. Skywalker had not turned to her yet, but he sensed her presence.
"Master." She provoked him from behind. He stirred.
"You have failed Ahsoka. You have broken the Jedi code." Anakin proclaimed. The voice was not Anakin's, but a more distinct or familiar voice.
"What? Who are you?" She harshly breathed. 'Anakin' turned around showing his face. It was not Anakin but someone else.
"Vizsla!" She gritted her teeth. His bald head and his scars from Dooku showed anger and she recognized an evil glint in his eyes. Another voice was heard. Not a man's voice but a woman's voice.
"Ma-ah-ah-ah-ha!" Ahsoka turned around to see a white skinned, woman with a lump of brown hair that was tied in a topknot on her head. She wore an orange jumpsuit that showed her masculine body and tones. She strutted closer to Ahsoka, with her long bony fingers.
"Aurra!" Ahsoka screeched. Then another pale faced woman stepped behind Ahsoka. She had purple markings on her face and was bald, a hairless harpy.
"Anakin's pet!" It was a nightsister, but not just a nightsister, an acolyte.
"Ventress! Why are you all here? Rex!" Ahsoka yelled to the captain who sprinted towards Aurra. The captain acted strangely as well. "Rex, help me please!" She pleaded to him.
"I'm sorry," Rex said in a scratchy voice. He took off his helmet, revealing a blue face, and bright red soft eyes. "I'm no clone"
"Bane?" It was Cad Bane, the evil, sinister, cunning bounty hunter. They were all her mortal enemies, or foes she fought and rivaled. How had they gotten on the ship? She questioned. She searched the room for an escape but her feet were frozen. No movements came from her, except for her head and eyes that from moved side to side.
Out of nowhere, a voice was heard, but in a buffeted voice. "You are no friend to me!" It was Lux's voice inside her head, but she was confused. What was happening to her? How had Lux's voice gotten inside her? The voices got louder and squeakier as though they were mice.
Then everything screeched the high pitched note of a little girl. Ahsoka fell to the floor, covering her head-tails from the scream. The enemies grabbed at Ahsoka, kicking and choking her, and stifling her, but when all seemed lost, everything around her blurted into dust and mist, leaving her helpless body to flail on the skinny bridge alley.
Ahsoka yelped, gasping for air. Sweat trickled down her forehead. She commanded her eyes to search around the room for any foes. What was happening to her? She crept to the floor, placing her hands over her eyes. Tano felt her moist skin. Her face was warm and pale.
She struggled into a position where her legs were kept together and her face on her light knees. Her two lightsabers were on the floor near her hip. The Padawan braid, that she had assembled herself, was cut and fraying from her battles and was falling off. I hadn't had these nightmares since the mission to Alderaan with senator Amidala. Then again, I hadn't been myself ever since… Lux.
The reaction that came with those words made her jolt herself awake. Jumping to her feet that had been sore for awhile, she could hear clone troopers' feet rushing past her door. The room looked the same as in the dream, but she could notice much lighter and better quality.
The smell of a perfumed bedrooms and mixtures of concoctions was smelt. Her sight was much better as well and distortion was no where to found. Ahsoka gave a genial smile. This no dream...
Author's Note- I know it is a little short, but it is a prologue and a start. I have gotten much better in my writing with the help of many many people. In the story, it wont be just romance, but friendship, trust, adventure, action and tragedy. Death Watch, Cad Bane, Dooku, Embo, some OC's might be coming in as well, but let the story adjust and take fold.
Please leave a review, i will reply to them all, in a pm or Author's Note. R&R!
