"I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
So hold my hand I'll walk with you my dear.
Stairs creek I should sleep, it keeping me awake.
It's the house telling you to close your eyes.
And some days I can't even trust myself.
It's killing me to see you this way.
'Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies straight to shore." ~Little Talks Of Monsters and Men~
"Come on up you go," said Bane walking into their cell.
"Appo I'm scared. I don't want to go."
"Take my hand I'll walk with you sister."
"Thanks, lets do this."So with that they started walking. Appo looked over to see Ahsoka shaking. He then wished he had brought some kind of coat.
"Alright Dooku, you can now get all the information you would like."
"Bane, you will be paid soon."
"Good, oh and just to warn you they are persistent especially the little Jedi here."
"They will learn." With that Bane left the cell. Dooku then turned towards Ahsoka and took his light saber out.
"Tell me now! Where is the Republic going to strike next?"
"You truly are a coward if you think I am going to tell you that, Dooku!" Ahsoka snarled. Then Dooku used his lightsaber and cut her arm off. There was a blood curdling scream and then she looked up at him and then fainted.
"Ahoksa!"
"Hmm, instead I know what I can do!" Dooku then walked away. Ahsoka stirred a little and then woke up. Her ares were tearing up leaned against Appo.
"It hurts. I, I don't want this! I want to get as far away from this war as possible!" cried Ahsoka and then let it all out.
"Me too, and you know what I think I can help you out there," said Appo thinking of the idea.
"You and I could go join the Skirata Clan."
"What's that," asked Ahsoka looking up at him.
"A group of Null ARC clone deserters."
"You want to desert?" Ahsoka asked eyes wide with disbelief.
"Well, yeah. Ahsoka I have been keeping this in for a while now, but I love you Ahsoka Tano," Appo after that bit his lips. He looked over to see Ahsoka now smiling and holding her stub of an arm.
"Appo, I love you too, so how are we going to get out of this mess?"
"Well you have the force right?"
"Yeah but I am restricted from using it in this cell."
"Everything has its limits, I even know that. Nothing can keep the force away for long. Like they say at the temple it's everywhere. So if you can figure out a way then maybe you can get the key card off from that table and then from there we wing it." Ahsoka thought for a second and then looked up and smiled.
"Yeah you're right. I can do this." After that Ahsoka put her mind to the task at hand and focused the force on the key card. After about three hours of trying she finally got it off from the table and levitated it over to their cell and let them out.
"YOU DID IT! I knew you could!"
"Here's the key to our binders." She took the key to the binders and let them go. She then grabbed her lightsabers and left.
"Come on just a few more feet, and we're out." She took her com-link and contacted Anakin.
"Snips did you destroy the listening post?"
"We couldn't we were caught and I am a little wounded."
"What? Where are you wounded Ahsoka?"
"My right arm, chest, and did I mention my hand got cut off?"
"What? Get to these cornice and and I'll get a medical evac ready."
"Yes Master," Ahsoka said ad started heading for the cornice.
"Hey do you mind if I borrow your com?"
"Sure here."
"Hey Kal its Appo."
"Hey Appo what do you need?"
"Well I need you to meet us on The Resolute."
"Sure, but why?"
"A Jedi Commander and I are going to desert."
"That answers only half my question," said Kal annoyed.
"Well lets just say she, got shot in the right arm, chest, oh and Dooku cut her hand off."
"Sounds... Rough."
"It was," Ahsoka spoke into her comm.
"Well we are about an hour away from the Resolute. When should you be there?"
"In about two hours."
"Okay see you then." The commlink turned off. Ahsoka abruptly stopped and fainted. Appo picked up Ahsoka and her commlink and commed Anakin.
"Sir, are you there? It's Appo."
"Yeah what is it?"
"Ahsoka just fainted."
"Run faster!"
"Trying sir."
"Ok just keep her alive."
"Yes sir, Appo out." Appo then commed Kal again.
"Hey Kal how far away from our location are you?"
"Only about fifty clicks, why?"
"Can you pick us up down here? Ahsoka just got knocked unconscious."
"We'll be there right there. Stay where you are." When Kal left Appo stopped running and sat on a rock and got out some bacata patches. By the time he finished applying them Kal arrived with Darmin.
"Thank the force you're here Kal!"
"So that's the famous Commander, ay?"
"Yes Kal'buir. Something isn't she?"
"Yeah," he looked at her wounds and he could see Kal shiver at the sight.
"She survived all that happened, she is a tough one." Kal's eyes softened and took her out of Appo's hands.
"Hey get Barden to take a look at her." Kal said to Darmin. He nodded then got Barden. A few moments later Barden came out with his med pack and looked Ahsoka over.
"She should have died by these wounds. Tough doesn't sum her up, it would be an understatement." Then there was a movement from the young Togruta laying on the ground. Ahsoka opens up her eyes to find the world spinning around her. When the world stops spinning she finds three face looking at her. She only recognized one face.
"Where am I? What's going on?"
"You are in a field somewhere on Felucia. And you should have died by now."
"Oh," Ahsoka said breathing a breath of relief she was still alive.
"That pretty much sums it up."
