SPECIAL SHOUTOUT!
Happy Birthday nightwolf48! This chapter is dedicated to you! (:
Okay I didn't mention this in the last chapter but Mortem Vigilia is Latin for Death Watch. Woo hoo!
AHSOKA POV
I was left alone for a while, awaiting the arrival of whoever Mortem Vigilia was. To be honest, I was terrified. The only thing that kept me sane being chained to that torture table was contacting Anakin.
Master… Are you coming for me yet? I asked desperately.
Ahsoka. I'll be there soon. I found a lead and will hopefully be there soon.
Okay… I trust you. And don't blame yourself for this. I know you do already and I don't want you to think it's your fault.
He didn't respond after that. Sighing deeply, I tried to ignore the feeling of blood crusting on my body and waited.
I didn't have to wait long. Soon the doors swung open and in walked Dooku, Bane, the Chancellor, and eight figures with hoods drawn over their heads to conceal their faces. Bane stood behind me, blue fingers stroking my cheek. I tried to pull away but the chains restricted me. "Well Sweetheart, I'd like to introduce you to some friends of ours."
"You may already know them however."
They threw back the hoods and I was ready to scream. There stood eight familiar faces; the padawans who had started my downward spiral into depression months ago. The padawans who had beaten me. "No…" I breathed. I wanted to pull away and run but I couldn't. The main boy who had caused my pain, Leon, walked forward.
"Ah Ahsoka." he said, placing a hand on my bare burned stomach. I winced but he continued to talk. "It's been too long huh? Too long since you got us sent to the Agricore. Too long since we left the order, just to get revenge on you."
"W-Why? What did I ever do to you?"
"You were always so smug. Prancing around like you were better than everyone else. Showing off."
"I never-"
"And then you murdered all those clones."
"I didn't-!"
"So, we're here to give you what you rightfully deserve."
The dagger that he had been concealing into his cloak was thrust into my stomach. I screamed for only a minute before biting my lip and whimpering. He continuously drove the dagger into my flesh creating deep deadly wounds that bled quickly. It wasn't long until I had slipped into dark oblivion filled with nightmares.
ANAKIN POV
We piled onto the Twilight and sped off. Not too long after we left did Ahsoka contact me again. She just told me not to blame myself but it was too late. I already did. When we stopped talking, I felt a cutting pain in her body. Then another one. And another one. And it kept continuing over and over until she finally blacked out. I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"Anakin, we'll find her."
"I know but she's in pain now!" I cried out. He rubbed my shoulder gently and wrapped an arm around me.
"Patience Anakin. I know it's something that I've said many times but I mean it this time. We don't know anything about Mortem Vigilia or the Sith Lord from Mustafar. We must tread cautiously. One slip could cost her, her life. I know you don't want to feel or see her hurt but we must wait. Maybe you should severe the bond, just for now."
"Obi-wan you know I can't do that! If I do and she tries to contact me and I'm not there, I don't know what I'll do. She might think I gave up on her and I can't do that to her!"
Obi-wan sighed. I could tell he was worried for me. I was being eaten alive inside by this. I had promised to never let her out of my sight, to always protect her, and I had failed her. I felt awful.
"Promise we'll find her?" I asked like a small child.
"I promise Anakin. I promise."
Well that's it for this chapter. Anyway again,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIGHTWOLF48! Love ya hun!
Anyway R&R and I'll see ya later! TTFN!
