Hi guys sorry for the long wait, anyway welcome to Chapter 3 of The Eternity Clock, don't forget to leave a review at the end.


Chapter 3: A Different Way


I froze, looking the Assasin directly in the face, the gun pointed squarly at my chest, his features never faltering, he wore a mask to cover his eyes and had long black hair. He was dressed all in black from head to toe.

Kai Leng, the man who had killed Anakin Skywalker was here, in my room, I couldn't believe it. I tried going for my Lightsaber but he cocked the gun and said in a soft voice.

"Don't even try it" OK so there was no reasoning with him, I tried a different way, it may be suicide but it could be the only way to get this Assasin to talk.

"You can't hurt me," I said, panick in my voice. He backed me against the wall trapping me, with no chance of escape "I thought your boss wanted me alive" that got him, I could see flicker of doubt enter his mind. Talk of the Illusive Man obviously set him on edge.

"I don't have to kill you," Leng stammered his gun hand shaking "maybe injure you though, my boss never said anything about harming you" and as if to demonstrate his point, he shot my left leg making me cry out in pain and sink to the ground, a faint trickle of blood came seeping out from under it.

"Incase... You.., haven't" I said struggling to get the words out "heard, me and Alex aren't together anymore, so if this is part of your ingenious plan to make him suffer, you aren't doing a very good job"

"Shut up!" Leng snapped and he put another bullet into my other leg, I cried out and clutched it, to stop the blood from flowing out.

This was not good, I could feel myself slipping into unconsciousness, I tried to feel Alex's mind in my own, to feel a part of the connection that still hung there.

Alex, Are you there? I thought, nothing, no sound came, I tried harder If you're there I really need your help. There's a sentace I never thought I'd here myself think, anyway if your there, please, please help me! and if you don't I want you to know, I always loved you, even when you weren't there, here that? I still love you, so please, if your there please just give me a sign.

"Forget it" Leng chuckled as if hearing my thoughts "you're at the end of your rope, the Avatar has abandoned you, he's not coming"

"You're wrong" I said standing up, ignoring the pain in my legs "cause, he is coming, me and my old master, we have a saying. You don't abandon the people you love"

"But you said it yourself," Leng said his face faltering "you aren't together anymore, so what makes you think he'll come for you"

I smiled and laughed "that's the strange thing about love, no matter how you say it, you can never really stop loving someone" I thought about this and wondered if Alex held onto that thought "ever since that day, the day you murdered Anakin, the day we split, I never stopped believing in him." I looked at the window and heard a faint humming sound which made me smile.

"You're still trapped" Leng said "he's going to have a hard time reaching this building"

That's what Leng thinks, I was never really a door person anyway, still ignoring the aching pain, I ran towards the window, the humming sound coming closer and closer. Without thinking, I used the force to smash open the window and Leng went flying outside. The gun clattering towards the ground.

I took a look at the drop and prayed I was right, if i wasn't this was sure going to be a hell of a short trip.

"Please let this work" I said silently then I said something else, something that would have made Alex smile "Geronimo"

I crossed my arms and ignoring the pain in my legs I took the jump and plummeted down the building.


My plan worked, my crazy plan worked, at least I hoped it did, cause I awoke in what looked like a sick bay for a ship.

I'd made it Alex had heard my call, I smiled to myself and leaned up.

A girl faced me, she was tall and dark haired, dressed all in black, she looked at least Sixteen, or Eighteen, I couldn't tell and she shared a distinctive feature with the boy standing next to her, both of them had startling blue eyes.

I recognise the boy instantly, I embraced him in a hug and laughed.

"It's so good to see you"

The girl scowled at me and looked like she wanted to throw up "I can't believe you," she looked at Alex "so this is your ex? Huh, didn't know you had a taste for Togruta's," she laughed at that "Dad won't be pleased"

"Oh stop teasing her, Ashley" Alex laughed, these two seemed to know each other, "Dad has already met her, no one can stand your jokes"

The girl Ashley, looked almost hurt "hey, if you don't like my sense of humor, then what good am I?" She turned to look at me and smiled "hi I'm Ashley, so you're the famous Ahsoka I've been hearing about"

"Uh.." I stammered, I shook here hand "nice to meet you?"

Ashley looked startled and at that left the room. Ok that was weird.

"So" Alex said awkwardly "looks like I've got some explaining to do" he could say that again "the annoying one you just met, is my sister, Ashley, don't ask me how I met her, It's a long story. "

Ashley came back into the room smiling "just for clarification, I'm his half sister, don't need to get her confused." Confused? I was already confused, Alex had a half sister? As if there were enough secrets in his life. Now this, yep life with him was always going to get confusing.
