Hello. This is the update you've all been waiting for. Here's the actual first chapter of Angel.
Ahsoka is waiting in the hall for her que to come out. Her father, Plo Koon, is standing with her.
"You look absolutly beautiful, Angel."
"Thank you, dad. I'm so nervous."
"Don't be. If you love this man, he'll be everything you want him to be." The organist started to play a different tune. "It's time."
She took his arm & the doors opened. Everyone in the church was standing up as they walked down the isle. Ahsoka smiled at her friends & family as they took pictures of her & congradulated her. They came to the altar, where she saw her friends, Aayla & Barriss, as her bride's maids. She was taken by her soon to be husband, Kevin. They step up to the priest & everyone takes their seats. The service then begins.
" Friends & family, we are gathered here today to join this couple in holy matromony. Kevin, do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, to have & to hold, in sickness & in health, for richer or for poor, until death do you part?"
"I do."
"Ahsoka, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband, to have & to hold, in sickness & in health, for richer or for poor, until death do you part?"
"I do."
"The rings." A little boy, Kevin's newphew, came up with the pillow that had the rings. Kevin took them both & handed one to Ahsoka. He slipped her ring on her finger. She did the same. "By the power vested in me, I now pronouce you man & wife. You may kiss the bride."
He lifted her veil up to reveal her lightly flushed cheeks. He kissed her. Everyone cheered. They took each other's hands & ran back down the isle while everyone threw rice at them. Ahsoka was the happiest girl in the galaxy.
One Year Later
Ahsoka, Barriss, & Aayla were sitting outside a cafe enjoying lunch.
"I will never get how you're always the lucky one, Angel."
"What are you talking about?"
"You're married to the richest man on this planet & you're living the life of luxury."
"That's not luck. That's love."
"Well, love is getting you a hell of a lot. I think you being such an angel has given you its rewards."
"I told you guys I'm not an angel."
"Well, your dad calls you angel all the time."
"How is your dad, anyway?"
"Yeah, how's his fight with the cancer?"
"He's lost. He died yesterday."
"Oh, Angel. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I really didn't know."
"It's okay. No one knew. I'm going over to my mom's place to arrange the funeral. She's not taking it very well, so I'm going to spend the rest of the day with her."
"Well, I wish both of you the best."
"Me, too."
"Thanks, guys. You're the best friends a girl could have."
"We know." Ahsoka rolled her eyes.
"Well, I'm gonna go. I'll see you guys later."
"Alright, Angel. See you later." She got up & went back to her speeder. Her phone rang. She went through her purse until she found it.
"Hello?"
"Angel, where are you?"
"I'm heading over to my mother's. What's wrong?"
"Just wondering where you were. How long were you going to be by her?"
"Just the rest of the day. I'm helping her plan out the funeral & staying afterwards to make sure she's okay."
"Okay. I'll see you later tonight?"
"Yes, Kevin."
"Alright. Love you."
"Love you, too. Bye." She hung up & threw the phone back into her purse. She got in her speeder & went over to her mother's house. She arrived half an hour later. Her mother, Shaak, was waiting for her on her porch swing. She walked up the steps & sat next to her.
"Hey, mom."
"Hi, Angel. I'm so glad to see you."
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. We both know your father has been fighting this cancer for years. I knew this day would come."
"He was strong."
"That he was. That he was. Come on. We should start getting things together for the funeral." They both got up & went in the house to start arranging things.
"So, Angel, tell me. How is Kevin doing?"
"Fine."
"And how are you?"
"Good. Why?"
"Has he touched you?"
"Mom, no. He hasn't."
"In how long?"
"Mom, he hasn't touched me. It's been a month now."
"I'm just worried about you, Angel. Last time, he broke three of your ribs & your arm. He's dangerous."
"He's not dangerous. He was just stressed out. I know how demanding his job can be."
"And he takes his anger out on you. Don't you think you should leave him?"
"Leave him? I'm not going to leave him. His job is less stressful & he hasn't touched me in a month. He's getting better at controling his anger."
"Really? That's not what that bruise on your montral says." She ran to the mirror & sighed. The makeup on her montral was starting to come off. "Ahsoka."
"That bruise is old, mom. It's nothing."
"How old is that bruise?"
"A month."
"Ahsoka." She sighed in defeat. She couldn't get anything past her mother.
"A week, but it was an accident."
"This was no accident. Ahsoka, please listen to me. Kevin is dangerous. His anger gets out of control every few days & he takes it out on you. You need to leave him befores it gets out of hand."
"I know he change. He's trying."
"You can't change people, Ahsoka. Only they can change themselves. Come here." She led Ahsoka into the kitchen & went to her freezer. She took out a cloth that was wrapped around a bar. She cut some of it off & started wrapping it around Ahsoka's bruised lekku. "This has got to stop, Angel. And soon. I don't want to plan a double funeral."
Short, sad chapter. Like it so far? R&R. Anakin will come in later chapters, so calm down. Did you notice how I made my own character? I did this so you Rex fans out there won't get pissed off at me. I love Rex. He's awesome & it pained me to write A Brutal Relationship for two reasons: 1- I was having Ahsoka get hurt & 2- I made Rex the one that hurt her. I made HIM the bad guy. It sucked big time, but just couldn't get the story out of my head, so I put it up so it could go away. Anyway, hope u like this so far. R&R & vote on my poll.
