Okay so a few people were a bit shocked with the ending of the last chapter. Some liked it others didn't and that's okay. For those of you who requested it here is a continuation of the story "The Truth" (sorry for the short chapter. Its developing slowly but I'm doing my best!)

Chapter 3: Something Else

Ahsoka walked out of the prison still with her gaze set on the ground. 'No, no that can't be the answer. Barriss is lying, there is another reason why she did this to me. She is hiding it, but what could it be? I have to talk to her again, but I can't see her anymore.' Ahsoka was puzzled, how was she going to get the answers she needed if she can't speak to Barriss anymore?

Ahsoka continued to walk around for a bit, thinking on how she would accomplish this task. 'I can't break her out of there. I just got out of trouble and I am not willing to go back to that prison on actual charges. I need a plan.' That's when Ahsoka got an idea. It was indeed a risky one but Ahsoka knew that this was her best shot. Ahsoka went back to the apartment where she was currently staying and hurried over to her dresser. She opened up the drawer and pulled out her comlink.

"Anakin, can you hear me? This is Ahsoka," she spoke with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

She waited for a few seconds…no answer. Ahsoka lowered her com and dropped her head. Then suddenly a green light flashed and Anakin's voice came through.

"Ahsoka! This is Anakin, are you alright? Is everything okay?!" Skywalker asked full of concern.

"Anakin I'm just fine, but I need your help with something,' she told him.

There was a slight pause but then Anakin spoke again.

"Sure, what did you need Snips?"

Ahsoka grinned a bit. He still acknowledged her by her nickname, he was still on her side. This made it a bit easier to ask him the favor she had in mind.

"I need to speak with Barriss before she goes on trial. I need to know why she did this to me so I can move on with my new life. Please Anakin, will you help me?"

Another pause, this time it was much longer.

"I don't know about this Ahsoka, she's being put on trial and the Jedi aren't supposed to speak with her anymore. She's in the senate's hands now."

Ahsoka thought for a moment and chose her words carefully.

"I know you're good friends with the Chancellor can't you do something?" Ahsoka was practically begging him to help her. "Skyguy, I really need your help here. Even though I am no longer a Jedi, you are still my master, and I am in desperate need of your help and guidance."

There was a very long silence. Then finally,

"Alright Ahsoka, I'll see what I can do. I'll contact you once I meet with the Chancellor."

"Thank you Master," replied Ahsoka very grateful. After that the transmission was ended. Ahsoka would finally get the answers she desperately wanted to hear.

That night Ahsoka couldn't sleep, she was anxious to know if Anakin would get the chancellor to agree to let her speak to Barriss again.

'What if he says no? Then what will I do? What if I can't talk to her and I am forced to live without ever knowing the truth about why I was framed?'

These questions raged in Ahsoka's head. What was there to do? What other plan could she think up? Just then a green light flashed on her com.

"Ahsoka, come in Ahsoka. This is Anakin."

Ahsoka grabbed her com off of the night stand next to her and raised it to her mouth.

"This is Ahsoka," she said half asleep.

"Ahsoka I'm sorry to wake you so late but I had a chance to speak with the Chancellor this evening. I asked about Barriss and hopefully getting to speak to her…."

"Yes? And? What did he say? Did he agree?" asked Ahsoka, eager to hear what he had to say.

There was a brief pause.

"…I'm sorry Ahsoka, but he Chancellor will not let any Jedi speak with her. This was the decision of the Senate and even the Jedi Council has forbid anyone to speak with Barriss."

Ahsoka slumped in her bed. This wasn't the news she was eager to hear.

"I'm sorry, but it's time to move on Ahsoka. Even though you are no longer a Jedi do not forget your teachings. Do not dwell on the past, focus on your future. I wish you the best Ahsoka, if you ever need me again, my coms always open for you."

The transmission ended there.

'Great now what?' thought Ahsoka. This was a major setback but Ahsoka refused to give up just yet. She paced her room for a bit trying to think of another way to get to Barriss. Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks.

'That's it! I know what to do.'

Quickly she grabbed her jacket and headed out the door.
