Chapter 11: The Truth is Revealed
I awoke in the Jedi Temple's hospital. There, I see Ahsoka and she notices I'm awake and hugs me.
You're crazy you know that? She jokingly asked.
Yeah. I've got that a lot. I said, not questioning how she was in front of me.
Anakin walked in and asked Ahsoka to leave us for a moment to which she did.
What was that? He asked me.
What was what? I asked.
You know what. He responded.
Fine, I was part of a project called Project E. The E stands for Elon, which is in my blood. Enough that it replenishes on its own.
You're lucky I'm not one to tell the Order about that. He said.
Yeah I know, you're a good man Anakin. I say raising up.
What's going on with you and Ahsoka? He asked.
Umm. I said.
Don't play dumb. He responded in an aggravated tone.
Okay, remember that mission where we got locked up in the room? I asked.
Of course I do. You 2 could have died. He said.
Well, we connected instantly. I said.
Kyle, you do know that she can get in a lot of trouble for being involved with you right? He asked.
That's one of the first things we talked about. I said.
But there is still a risk. If you two are found out, it can be very consequential. He said in an angered yet worried tone.
I know. But I'm not giving up. I said.
She's my padawan Kyle, I'm just doing what I feel is best for her. He responded.
Is it Anakin? Is it the best? I asked. Have you noticed how her fighting has gotten better? How she seems more relaxed than ever? I questioned him.
Yes but... He started to say.
Anakin look, I mean no disrespect. But, I said putting my hand on his shoulder, we have this. Okay? Have faith in Ahsoka. Have faith in me. I said.
Anakin scowled but accepted the idea.
Alright. Just, don't hurt her. He said.
You know I won't. I said smiling.
Carry on. He said walking out.
Ahsoka came back in and we talked for a few about what Anakin had said.
I know he's just looking out for me. She said. But I feel so, safe.
I know Ahsoka. I said putting my arm around her. I know.
I proceeded to kiss her forehead and we hugged each other. Until we decided to leave to keep suspicion away.
Many months had passed during this point and we had a love that was growing stronger for one another.
