Ahsoka sat – by herself – on the dusty ground of the massive slave yard. She crossed her legs and stared at the ground. Now, how was she going to do this? She needed to start a fight, but with whom? Raylee would be good…

All the slaves were also seated on the ground, eating some sort of slop in wooden bowls, though Ahsoka wasn't eating anything. Her 'cell mates' had left her as soon as they were let out into the slave yard. Ahsoka wasn't that bothered really…

Ahsoka felt someone tap her back. The Padawan looked over her shoulder. A young Togruta female – about the same age as Ahsoka – was standing behind her. "Are you okay?" The stranger asked.

Ahsoka stared at her for a moment, and then answered quietly, "Yeah, fine thanks."

The other Togruta frowned, looking curious as to who Ahsoka was. She sat next to the Jedi Padawan and crossed her legs too. "I haven't seen you around before. I'm guessing you were just bought in. Correct?"

"Yeah," Ahsoka said. This person was obviously trying to find out who Ahsoka was.

"Why do you have your hood up? You don't have anything to hide from us lot." She gestured to all the other Togrutas around the place. She scooted a little bit closer to Ahsoka and tried to look at her hidden face, but Ahsoka faced the other way.

"Oh, no reason. I just like to keep it up." Ahsoka replied, trying to sound as though it was no big deal. She shrugged her shoulders.

"But why?" She pressed. Ahsoka decided she didn't really like this girl. She was annoying, and right now, they were playing twenty questions.

"I just do." Ahsoka grumbled

"Oh, okay. I guess you're like my mother, she likes to wear gloves all the time."

Ahsoka smiled a little, and hid her face in the shadows of her hood when the girl tried to look at her face.

"You know," The girl continued, "You seem kinda familiar. Have we met before?"

Ahsoka glanced at her face, not really concentrating on the girls on it. "I don't think so."

The taller Togruta scooted a little closer to Ahsoka, and Ahsoka shuffled away from her a little, but the other didn't notice.

Suddenly, a small warning zapped through the Force. And before Ahsoka could even register it, her hood was snatched back, revealing her face and headtails. The girl's eyes widened a little as she stared at Ahsoka, her hand still gripping the edge of the Padawan's hood. "Ahsoka?" She gasped.

… … … … … … … ..

Layla stared in disbelief at the Togruta before her. "Ahsoka?" It was surely Ahsoka. It had to be. As soon as she snatched Ahsoka's hood back, she recognised her instantly. The big, baby blue eyes, the little button nose, and the unique facial markings. "Ahsoka!" Layla squealed and lunged at Ahsoka, giving her a tight hug.

Ahsoka didn't say anything at first, because she was a little shocked. Some girl had come up and sat next her, and then starting hugging her. Weird?

"Um, hi?" Ahsoka said unsurely. She gently patted the girls back with one of her gloved hands, and frowned.

When the smaller Togruta pulled away, she stared into the others green eyes. Ahsoka studied her face, and only then did she realise who it was. "Layla?" Somehow Ahsoka remembered this girl, and as soon as she knew who it was, memories came flooding into her mind.

… … … … …

Ahsoka pulled herself up to the next branch, ducking her head under the thin branch that came flying towards her. If she hadn't have dodged that, Ahsoka was sure that that would have taken her head straight off.

The tiny toddler looked down at her struggling friend. Ahsoka was nearly at the top of the small tree, while Layla was only half way up. "Come on, Layla!" Ahsoka's playful, sweet voice called out.

"Ugh, Ahsoka!" Layla whined, "What if we fall? Our parents won't be very happy with us!"

"Stop worrying! We'll be fine!" Ahsoka climbed a little higher up the lush tree. Ahsoka always wondered why she was so much better at climbing and running than the other children her age. Bt what she was best at was hide and seek. She would always fit into the smallest places (being smaller than the other kids) but she would always find where they were. Even if she couldn't see them, she could kind of…feel them. If she was walking past a tree, she could feel them, even if she wasn't touching them. The other kids obviously didn't have this…talent what she had. Ahsoka knew she was different from them, even her best friend – Layla – who she knew couldn't do what she could.

Ahsoka was known around the village for her unbelievable energy, always running about and climbing up trees…well, her parents didn't know that.

Only being three years old (nearly four!) Ahsoka was uncannily smart for her age. She had started speaking in full sentences at an early age.

"Ahsokaaaaaaaaaa." Her friend moaned again, frowning up at her.

Ahsoka sighed, stood on a thick branch, "What?"

"I'm getting down. It's getting a bit too high, and I'm a bit scared." Layla had already started to climb down the tree, and a moment later, her tiny feet hit the ground. "I think you should come down too!" She yelled up to the other Togruta.

Ahsoka glanced down at Layla and shrugged her shoulders. Why did she back out every time when things were getting exciting? She rolled her wide blue eyes and shouted back at her, "I'll come down when I get to the top!"

Layla raised her eyebrows and stared at Ahsoka incredulously. Why did she have to keep going even things got dangerous? "Ahsoka…if you fall…" Layla didn't even think about what could happen to her daring friend.

As Ahsoka climbed higher and higher up the tree, the more the wind seemed to pick up and blow in her young face. It was early autumn on Shili, and the leaves were just beginning to fall off the trees. Ahsoka reached out her tiny hand to grasp one of the falling leaves. One of them brushed her fingers, but it did not fall into her hand. The next leaf that fell was a little further away, and Ahsoka leant out to grab it.

But she wasn't holding on to anything.

Before the child knew what was going on, she was plunging towards the ground, the branches and leaves she was falling through whipping her body, mostly her face. Suddenly, the wind was knocked out of her. She had fallen onto the lowest branch of the tree, and now she was hanging off it. The Togruta was sure a large bruise was forming on her stomach; it stung and ached so badly. The bark or the thick branch was scratching at her soft skin as she slowly slid off the branch, and onto a small pile of leaves.

The leaves hadn't broken her fall, but it made it somewhat softer. Her landing was still rough, as it knocked the wind out of her for the second time today.

The little three-year-old lay on her back, breathing heavily. Ahsoka saw a bright side of her little episode, and that was that she had made it to the top of the tree.

"Ahsoka?" Layla was standing above her, looking straight down at her, "You fell out of the tree, didn't you?"

Yeah…so chapter 4 is done. I did this chapter while watching Scream 2, and Scream 3. Some of my favourite horror films (even though they are not scary at all – not scary to me anyway.) And yeah, pretty much all the movies I watch are horrors. Well, Except Star Wars and stuff :D Anyway, please review! So sorry I didn't have this up sooner .
