"Ahsoka, will you please talk to me?"

She ignored his voice and kept on walking. She knew her silence was hurting him, and that's the last thing she wanted – but she just COULDN'T tell him about her inner demons. He would think she was a monster…he wouldn't love her anymore.

They were walking along the alleys of the Underworld on Coruscant. Just a routine scout. All he wanted was for her to tell him the truth – to be able to help her. "Ahsoka…"

"I'm fine, Master," she snapped. "I'm just…" Suddenly, she couldn't finish talking. The tightness that overcame her chest was overwhelming. She turned around, hunched over, and looked at Anakin with wild and frantic eyes. Then, she fell back…

"Ahsoka!"

He ran forward and caught her before she hit the hard cement. She wasn't breathing. Ahsoka wasn't breathing. Immediately he was sent into a panic. "Ahsoka, wake up!" he cried, immediately applying CPR. Nothing was working. Tears were streaming down his face now. "Ahsoka, please!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man ran up and laid his hands on Ahsoka's neck. Anakin Force-pushed him away. "What in Force's name are you doing?!"

The man stood back up and returned. "I can help you," he replied. "I can revive her. Please…if you don't let me help, she'll die."

Anakin stared hard at him, then reluctantly stepped aside. The man hovered over Ahsoka, covered her face and neck. He couldn't see what he was doing, and was about to intervene when Ahsoka sat up, clutching her throat and gasping for air.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin dropped to the ground and embraced her. She hugged him back, still breathing heavily. "M-Master?"

"Shhh…don't talk, Ahsoka." He scooped his weak Padawan in his arms, and began walking back towards their speeder to take her to the Temple. The stranger began walking away, before Anakin stopped him. "You. Come with us. Now." He wasn't letting that man go until he found out how he helped Ahsoka.

Not knowing that he had caused Ahsoka to collapse in the first place.

The man followed Anakin as he carried Ahsoka over to their speeder. He climbed in, laying Ahsoka in the passenger's seat, while the stranger climbed into the back.

It didn't take long for them to fly back to the Temple. As soon as the speeder was set into park gear, Anakin hopped out, and carried Ahsoka into the Halls of Healing. Barriss and Luminara were nowhere in sight, so he began rummaging for a droid, the stranger watching silently.

"Don't bother, Master."

Anakin spun around at the sound of Ahsoka's strained and exhausted voice. He ran over to her and brushed her cheek with his flesh hand. "It's going to be okay, Ahsoka. I'm gonna help you."

"You can't, Master," she replied. "There's nothing you can do for me…"

Anakin closed his eyes and forced back the tears. When he opened them again, Ahsoka's eyes were drifting shut. "Ahsoka, please let me help you!" he begged. "Ahsoka…you're scaring me."

She looked into his icy blue eyes – so full of pain and concern. She hated when he looked that way. She finally gave up, and lost her inward battle. She couldn't hit it anymore. "Master," she whispered quietly. "He's in me."

Anakin's eyes widened. "Who? Who's in you, Snips?"

She took a deep breath, which almost forced her into a coughing fit. "T-The Voodoo M-M-Man…"

"WHAT?!" He couldn't have been more surprised.

She looked at him with her sea-blue eyes. Oh, how he loved their shine. The thought that this evil man, this creature, was inside of her was…too much. "Ahsoka…why didn't you tell me?!" He wasn't angry, just hurt that she had hid the truth.

"There's nothing you could've done to help me," she said weakly. "There IS nothing you can do, Anakin."

Suddenly, the stranger, who had been waiting silently in a corner, walked over. "He can't, but I can."

Anakin stood up and faced the man, one hand on his lightsaber. "Who are you?"

"Someone who wants to help your young friend," the man replied. He glanced at Ahsoka, who surprisingly, seemed to accept the man's help.

Anakin, on the other hand, wasn't so willing. "How can you help her where I can't?"

The stranger smiled. "I have my ways. Only...you have to trust me. Do you?"

Anakin frowned, and narrowed his eyes. "That depends on your definition of trust."

He laughed. „Let me show you that he is really inside you, kid."
Ahsoka stood up.

„I will let you talk to him. You will be like in trance. Just stand here." he said.

„Are you sure this is safe?" asked Anakin.

„Safety is overrated." he said.

Anakin looked at the man than at Ahsoka. The man steped for. He stood right in front of Ahsoka. He put his forfinger at her forhead. Ahsokas lens rolled up so that they weren't to see anylonger.

Anakin was slightly scared about that.

She stand in a white room. She saw a blue light flying towards her. It transformed into a human.

„You..." she said grimly.
The man laughed and looked at her.
„I knew that was you! You're inside me!"
He nodded before he said.
„It was all perfect until your master told you he loves you. Dou you really think he do?"
„I don't belive you. Whatever you say!"
„I don't think so...Do you really think he would 'love' someone like you? Such a weak, uncontrallable monster?"

He hit it. He had hit her still injured part. She said nothing, just looked angry at him. He stepped closer and walked slowly around her.

„He has a wife. Did you forget? Why should he give her away for...you? She can give him much more than you will ever can. Your just a Padawan learner. Nothing more. Your just a little point in his life..."

„Stop it!" she screamed and hold her hands to her ears. She didn't want to hear that anymore.
He laughed and the room become darker and darker. She only saw his poisen green eyes as everything become completly black.

Her eyes closed and staggered back. She hold her hands for her eyes and slided down the wall behind her. Anakin immediately went to her. He sat down beside her. He laid her in his arm, as he heard her sobbering.

What had she seen? Anakin looked at the man. The man just stand there. He didn't care about what he had shown her. Ahsoka cried slightly in his chest. But than. She pulled herself out of his grip. She wiped away the tears. She looked one more time at Anakin.

„I should rest." she said.

She stood up and walked out of the room. Anakin was confused. What had she seen, that she is acting like that? He stood up and followed her to the quarters. She has entered her room as Anakin arrived.

Ahsoka tried but she couldn't fall asleep. Everytime she did, she saw the poisen green eyes of the Voodoo-Man. She sat up and walked to the door. She opened it after a few minutes thinking if she should do it.

„Didn't you want to rest?" asked Anakin, who was about to cut an apple in two and stand with his back to her.
„I tried, but I can't" she said slightly annoyed.

He laid the apple down and walked to her. He embraced her as he felt the confussion in her.
She retuned the embrace and laid her head against his chest. He hold her close and restit his had slightly on hers.

They stand there so for a while, until Anakin started slightly to dance with her. Her favourite song was played in the radio. It wasn't really a song. It was more a soundtrack. ( watch?v=VD2OBcBCywM&list=LLLi4DMQfeKLRGA_0B4tJLTg )She smiled and danced with him.

She didn't know why, but she felt everytime so happy and safe when they where ogether. He always knew what hepled her when she feels ill. And so did she. She guessed that this also means to be in love. To know what is best for the other.

She looked up into his blue eyes. His kissed her slightly with passion before she did. But than she remembered what the Voodoo-Man has said. Anakin has a wife. She can give him much more than Ahsoka could ever give.

She pulled away, stopping the kiss and also the dance. He looked confused as she also ended the embrace.
„That's wrong..." She said and turned away. Not strong enough to face him. „You have a wife...And I'm just a Padawan learner and she is a Senator. She can give you much more...She also is allowed to love..."

He was slightly shocked as he heard that. He took her hands and turned her to him.
„I don't care. I don't care about her, or the rules to love or not. I only care about you." he said looking deep into her eyes.

„She is your wife and..." he interrapted her as he pulled her towards him and kissed her with passion. He kissed her with all love he felt inside his heart for her. Showing her he really LOVED her. He really didn't care about Padmè. He had never felt for someone like he did for Ahsoka.

First she want to pull away, braking the kiss, but her heart said not to do it. She listened to it and returned the kiss, with all love in her heart for him. He returned it, sucking on her lower lip. Her lips opened as their tongues intertwined, exploring their mouths. Anakin's hands were rubbing Ahsoka's lekku, causing her to happily moan against his lips. Their lips parted, gasping for air.

"That was amazing…" Ahsoka breathed. Anakin kept kissing her hungrily, unable to control his excitement. His hands soon found their way to her bra, unclasping it and removing it in the same motion. He picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bedroom, closing and then locking the door with the force. He set her down on the bed, their lips never parting. And then they made passionate love for the first time.
