Chapter 9: In the Hut
As Ahsoka entered the hut, an uneasy feeling swept over her and she imagined the spirit of Darlene watching here and looking over at Sky, like she was trying to warn her about something, but Ahsoka ignored the feeling and dismissed it as simply her imagination, so she entered with Sky.
When Sky saw what was inside the hut he laughed to himself and said "hmm" he began thinking of ways out should this meeting go wrong in any particular way. Ahsoka had to conceal a gasp when she saw the various pictures of herself scattered around the room, and there were not just pictures, there were hologram videos of herself and Alex, sharing their own romantic moments. She smiled when she saw the memories, but found the place all to creepy.
"Your mother clearly has been keeping an eye on you" Sky said which completly distracted Ahsoka "she's got down all our adventures, and yours it would seem" Sky stared at the photos on the walls and on the desk and looked fondly at them, hidden in the corner was something familiar to him. Something that for once didn't belong to Ahsoka.
"What's that?" Ahsoka asked and Sky turned round completly ignoring what he found, "I'm sorry, but I think I" Sky cut her off when she said this because it was far too painful.
"I gave it to Darlene, just" he faultered on this part because the memory of this was painful "just before she died" turning away from Ahsoka, Sky went to pick up the silver neckless, it symbolised his and Darlene's love together, the neckless was in the form of a heart and Sky put it in his pocket "I thought she lost it" he said quietly to himself.
"Why does my mother have it?" Ahsoka asked him, and she walked towards Sky "I'm sorry" when she said this Sky looked at her curiously and said.
"What?"
"I'm so sorry for you" Ahsoka placed a hand on Sky's shoulder as if to comfort him "but if it's any consolation, Darlene died saving my own life" at this Sky took Ahsoka's arm of his shoulder and walked away from her "I know you hate me, you have a pretty good reason to"
"It should've been you" Sky muttered but Ahsoka heard him clearly, she didn't need to know how much Sky hated her, because she already knew this. "It should've been you that died, that day" was it her imagination or was Sky actually crying? Ahsoka had never heard him cry before, much less seen him.
He always seemed so happy when he was Darlene but after she died, he became more closed off, more hateful, more alone, Ahsoka didn't feel sorry for him, in fact she pitied him, for going through all this. "I'm sorry" she said again and she tried to hug Sky but Sky snapped at her
"IT SHOULD'VE BEEN YOU!" He pushed Ahsoka onto the ground and when Sky did this and Ahsoka couldn't look at him, when Sky realised what he'd done, he gasped and said "Ahsoka, I" he stammered trying to find the right words "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me" he reached a hand out to help Ahsoka up but she said
"Stay away from me" Ahsoka said getting herself up "I'm calling Alex, this was a terrible idea" she tried to reach for her comlink, but found it was missing, she tried for her pockets but couldn't find it there either "my comlink," she looked at Sky who was smirking at her "where's my comlink, Sky?"
"Oh you mean this?" Sky said taking out a tiny device and breaking it "I'm sorry I didn't know what it was," he was just being sarcastic and Ahsoka didn't like him when he was like this.
"I need to speek to my boyfriend"
"He can't help, he's got his own problems to deal with" Sky said and he laughed "we're going to do this ourselves, and by the way, you may wanna check out the security" Ahsoka did so and saw in one of the holograms that an adult Togruta female was heading straight towards the hut "we're gonna have company"
"My mother," Ahsoka gasped when she saw her "she's" when she turned to Sky she said "what are you doing?" At this Sky chuckled and said
"Improvising" When he said this Ahsoka didn't know what to think, because with Sky that either meant it was a good thing or a bad thing..,
