"Ahsoka, I have a feeling this is it. How to break your fear." He said. Ahsoka stood at the front of the fountain in her jumpsuit, practically paralyzed. "What does this have to do with anything, Master?" She said. "I figure if you break your fear, she won't be able to use it against you. Get in the fountain." He said. Ahsoka breathed in slowly and shook her hands. "I can do this! It's just water..." And then at that moment, she walked in the water. It came up to her waist and she squeaked. "Holy Force, that's cold!" She said.

Anakin held back a snicker and then climbed in the fountain on the other side, taking off his shirt. Ahsoka stared at his chest... There was so many scars on it... It was a little scary. And she bit her lip, looking up at him. "Now what?" She said. "Go underwater." He said.

"What? Are you insane?" She said. "I'll drive you insane if you don't do it." He said. She breathed in heavily, pinched her nose closed with her fingers and put her head under the water. After 4 seconds, she started to panic and she jumped up, clinging to Anakin's arm. "I can't do it, Master... I'm terrified." She said on the verge of tears. He bit his lip and then got an idea. "Come on," He dragged her to the middle of the fountain and then reached down for her legs. "Whoa! What are you doing?" She said.

"Ahsoka, trust me..." He said. Her pleading eyes were making him weary but she nodded. "Just relax... Listen to the sound of the water. Feel the cold temperature... Hold onto my voice." He picked up her legs while keeping a tight grip on her back. And once her legs were on the surface, he let her head back slowly and she still had a death grip on his arm.

"Ahsoka... Let go." He said. At that instant, she dropped her arm and floated there in the middle of the fountain. Anakin steadied her and felt fear almost radiating off of her. He put his flesh hand on the small of her back and it calmed her down. She breathed in heavily and then heard him speak again. "Once you find peace... You are ready to let go... Let it go, Ahsoka." And just like that, she sunk from the surface and down to the bottom of the fountain... Ahsoka opened her eyes under the water and she felt heat. Like the heat of the sun, but there is no harshness to it... She drifts back. Back to when she was afraid.

"Mommy! Come here!" I shouted, blinking a few tears away. "I can't, baby... Go on without me." She said. I shook my head. "No! I'm not leaving you, Mommy!" I almost jumped into the lake but she forced me back. "No, Soki... Please, you can't go away too." She said. "Go away? What? No!" I was on the verge of tears as the monsters attacked her orange ankles, tearing at the skin. And then I saw blood pooling on the surface... She let out one last breath and gave me the weakest smile i've ever seen... "Take care of yourself, baby... Be my good Soki... I love you." And then... She died.

"Ahsoka?" Ahsoka looked up and saw a spirit... Her mother's spirit. "I know why you have been afraid... Afraid of losing yourself. Losing to your fear. And you let it take over." Ahsoka blinked underwater and let some air out. And then, her mother held out her hand. "Take my hand, sweetie... Let go of your fear. Your Master needs you." Ahsoka hesitated and then she grabbed her mother's hand.

They drifted to the surface and Ahsoka coughed. "Mom," She said, after her coughing was done. "Ahsoka, what happened?" Anakin said, picking his Padawan up and letting her sit on the edge of the fountain. "It was my mom... She came to me in the water. Told me to let my fear go. That you needed me." She said. "Well, I do need you, Snips." He said. She smiled and then sighed. "Well, I conquered my fear... Your turn." She grinned. "What?" He gasped.

"No." he protested. She rolled her eyes. "Come on! How bad can it be?" She asked. He bit his lip. "It's bad, Ahsoka... My fear is losing you. Losing you to the Dark Side." He admitted. She laughed. "Well, you have nothing to worry about. Because I never will." She promised. "But you already have, Ahsoka! That's what's scaring me... I can't revisit that memory." Ahsoka has no memory of her Dark Side on Mortis. And now that she knows, she was eager.

"We're going back to that memory, Master." She said. "Ahsoka, I can't!" He stood up. She pushed her hand into his chest, forcing him back down. "Do you want to save Obi-Wan from the Witch or not?" She growled. Anakin was silent. She got on her knees and grabbed his hand. "Look, Master... I know your afraid. I am too... But I'm more afraid of what will happen if we fail. If we don't perform that exorcism, Obi-Wan belongs to the Witch, and... That's not something I'm ready to take... For Obi-Wan, Master... For family." She said.

He looked down at her with an expressionless face. "You two are like brothers... You love each other." She said. He smiled at her and nodded. "OK, Ahsoka... I'll do it." He said. She grinned. "Come on," She lead him back to the room.

OOOoooOOOoooOOO

"Is there a way to multiply our powers? There has to be a way!" Obi-Wan said. Khalida was smiling. "There is... One way." She said. "What is it? We will lose if we can't do this!" He yelled, bashing his fist on the consoles. Khalida stood up. "Whatever we do, you do not question it. Do not question my Lords, Obiwan." She said his name faster than she was supposed to.

He nodded and she let out a hiss. A dark circle was surrounding her and there was a sphere of black smoke... She pushed her hand inside the sphere and pulled out an Athame laced with the Magic of the Lords themselves. She breathed in and lifted Obi-Wan in the air with her special magic. He stood before her, rays of black and red light surrounding the both of them. She took the athame and grabbed his hand harshly and slit a line down the middle. He bled from it and she did the same. But when she did it, black smoke poured from her wound, following blood.

Obi-Wan stared in astonishment. "You are... truly evil." He said, smiling. She grinned and they pressed their hands together. And just like that, there was a bright white light that came from both of them. They were lifted off the floor and Khalida's eyes rolled into the back of her head. And when her eyelids flipped open, they were black. Obi-Wan was gasping for air as his blood flowed with hers. Her blood mixed with a Jedi's.

A small ribbon of black wrapped around their hands and the blood was pulling back into their bodies and then it bonded them as one. The bond was stronger than a Master and his Apprentice. The athame slipped from Khalida's fingers and then slit at their clothes until they all fell to the floor. They both stood there, naked. Khalida's eyes went back to the mystical color before and Obi-Wan was sweating from anticipation. And the words were whispered in his ear by Lord Azmodan himself.

"Accipiat eam." And that is exactly what he did. The bond was sealed. And there was nothing to do to stop it. Still on the smoldering wreckage of the ship, the Witch and the Jedi became one in the most intimate way possible... But it was felt through Anakin.

OOOoooOOOoooOOO

Anakin sat up in his bed, screaming bloody murder. Ahsoka jumped up from the candles and jumped to her Master wild mild hesitation. She shook on his shoulders. "Master! Look at me! Hey!" She said. He blinked and looked at her. She put her hand on his cheek and met his eyes. "What? What's wrong?" She asked. He shook his head and started sweating. "We're too late... Their in thrall." He admitted. She blinked.

"How could you know?" She asked. "We still have the connection, Ahsoka. No matter how evil Obi-Wan is, he's still connected to me." He said. She was about to cry but wiped the tear away. "No... No, we still have time. And hope. But first... We need to get rid of your fear..."
