CHAPTER TEN! Thank you so much for everyone who has favoritd, followed, and reviewed! It means so much to me!
Ahsoka's big blue eyes opened slowly, blinking as they adjusted to the light. Her eyes betrayed every emotion she felt: scared, angry, confused, sad. It took a few minutes for the room to come into focus, but she saw the three humanoid forms standing by her bed immediately. Almost like a veil being lifted, old, nearly forgotten memories of the three men in front of her began to surface in her mind.
"Hey Ahsoka, " Marvin laughed, tossing her and old red ball. " Catch the ball! Catch the ball! " Ahsoka giggled and made a grab for the ball with her too-small toddler hands, missing it by just inches. She laughed even more when Marvin had to run down the street after the ball, dodging between the many adult togruta' s legs to reach it.
The two tiny togruta one year olds in the crib- no, it couldn't really be called a crib, more like a crate -were giggling, attempting to open a small tan box. Finally, Ian managed to get the flap open with his chubby little hands and grabbed a handful of the sticks, promptly shoving them in his mouth. Grimacing at the taste of the drugs, he immediately spit them out, all over his sister. As soon as the partially chewed cigarettes hit her, Ahsoka, of course, started screaming her head off, causing the woman at the other side of the room to yelled at her to knock it off. Which, of course, only made Ian start screaming.
"Ahsoka," Pash said, leaning down to the three-year old's height. "You're gonna go with Master Koon, alright? He's gonna take you to a nice place to be a jedi!" Ahsoka clapped her hands, not quite understanding , but liking the sound of it. Pash shakily smiled as tears pooled in his eyes. Tryng to hide his tears, he waved goodbye as Master Plo lead his sister away.
Ahsoka smiled briefly before she was hit with piercing, white hot pain. It felt like fire was running through her veins as she tried not to scream. Instead, the scream came out as a moan of pain. Her arms started to violently twitch, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
"Ahsoka?!" Ian yelled. "Ahsoka, I'm your brother, Ian. Try to stay still!" Both he and Marvin attempted to hold he down as her body began spasming.
"Im going to see if there's any medical supplies in the house," Pash told his siblings as he dashed out of the room, " be right back! "
Ahsoka, meanwhile, was going through a number of sensations, most of them extremely painful. Her blaster shot wounds felt like someone was stabbing her repeatedly, they kept pulsing painfully every time her heart beat. Her lightsaber wound felt like a pool of acid sitting on her chest. And it felt like needles were being stabbed all over her body. The sensation of needles stabbing her got to a point where she couldn't hold it in anymore and she let out a blood curdling scream, wishing that the pain would just stop, completely oblivious to the shiny golden lines that began to form across her torso.
Marvin and Ian, however, were dumbfounded by the glow forming beneath Ahsoka's shirt. Ian lifted Ahsoka's shirt about halfway up and gasped. Since Ahsoka was still spasming, the gold lines looked like ribbons waving across he body. The sight was beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Suddenly, though, Ahsoka's body went stiff, then collapsed onto the bed. Ahsoka began panting and gasping for air. For a few seconds, Marvin and Ian didn't know what to do, they just stared at their sister. After Ahsoka had caught her breath, she looked at her brothers.
"What...how... wasn't I supposed to be executed?" She asked breathless . "I mean, I'm not complaining, but I swear I can clearly remember Windu stabbing me."
"No, Ahsoka, Anakin saved you just in time. We took you out of the hospital two days ago. Now we're on Naboo." Marvin answered .
Ahsoka groaned, rubbing her head. "My head is killing me. Did anything else happen besides being stabbed?"
Ian jumped in. "You got shot a bunch of times too. The doctors thought you might not ever wake up."
Ahsoka just stared at him. She couldn't process everything at once, and her entire body throbbed painfully. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes before Pash came back into the room. "Ahsoka!" He said. " You're awake! " At this point, Ahsoka's shirt had fallen back down and the gold lines had stopped glowing, so Pash didn't notice anything overly unusual about his younger sister. Marvin and Ian were to stunned to say anything, and Ahsoka hadn't realized that there were more to her injuries that met the eye.
Pash moved closer to the bed. "Ahsoka, do you remember us?" He asked. " I mean, it has been 13 years since we last saw you. "
Ahsoka blinked a few times before she smiled. "Yea, I do. Of course I remember you, you guys are my family."
I'm sorry this was short, I was having some technical difficulties. Please leave a review, I haven't gotten one in a while and they make me happy. I'll be working on forced return next, and if you don't read that one please go check it out because some crazy crap is going to happen in the next chapter. But review this story first! :)
Also, quickly, this will not be a story that involves the daughter. This story goes down a completely different route!
