Chapter 11: Meeting the Darkness


It was a while before Ahsoka awoke from Missy's punch, she felt the pain right instantly when she looked to face Missy again she turned and looked her, Missy was smiling and holding a strange looking neckless, which Missy claimed that it belonged to a future version of Ahsoka.

"Seriously" Ahsoka said feeling her cheek "ow!" at this Missy laughed and Ahsoka gave her a scowl that had an entirely different meaning "thank you" at this Missy smiled and said

"Don't mention it"

"I won't" Ahsoka smiled and at this Missy became very serious and she said

"No" Missy said seriously "don't ever mention that again" she then flexed her wrist and then stood up. "I am speaking to you now!" She shouted into the air "whoever you are, don't think you can mess with my frenemy like that!" When nothing happened Ahsoka began to feel like Missy had gone crazy all of a sudden, but who was she kidding? Missy was already crazy "the Darkeness show yourself"

All of a sudden Ahsoka began to feel cold and she slumped to the ground and Missy turned to face her, speaking to something else inside Ahsoka she said

"Oh don't try that again, you know I could zap you out of there with a thousands colts"

"What are you, talking about" Ahsoka shivered "I feel cold, Missy I feel cold" at this Missy's eyes widened in shock and she realised what was happening "get out!" She screamed "get out!" Something did listen and a misty shape took the space. It was in the for, of a horse then a horseman with no head.

"Ok" Missy said as the horseman took the reigns of the horse "I am going crazy, nope scratch that I am already there" at this Ahsoka couldn't help but laugh and then Missy gave Ahsoka a look that shut her up almost instantly "I take it" Missy said "I am talking to the Darkness"

When the Darkness spoke or tried to speak it was with a hollow rustic tone that sounded ancient and when Missy noticed this she smiled and then tried to encourage it to get the hang of it "easy there, it's just psychics, you'll get the hang of it eventually" when the Darkness finally spoke it was a chilling tone that sent shivers down Ahsoka's spine.

"We" said the Darkness in that scary voice "we are one!"

"Oh" Missy gasped in surprise "now then what does that mean?" At this the Darkness raised a bony mist like finger at Ahsoka and Ahsoka couldn't but help wonder what was going on.

"The ritual" said the Darkness "the sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice?" Ahsoka said and then "what sacrifice?" At this Missy turned round and faced Ahsoka she then had some words for her that stayed with her ever since this encounter.

"Ahsoka you may not want to hear this" at this Ahsoka ignored her and snapped at Missy

"I've wanted to hear about this since the moment I first heard about it" and then Missy curious to know what Ahsoka was talking about asked

"What is that dear?"

"The prophecy"

"Prophecy?" Missy asked confused looking back at Ahsoka and the Darkness "what prophecy?" Ahsoak gave Missy a look that said something like, what the hell?

"You don't know?"

"Which is why I am asking" Ahsoka said smiling "everyone in the universe except, my boyfriend and now you know about it apparently"

"I don't know about it" Missy said "becuase in my time line there never was a prophecy!" Ok that interested Ahsoka, but apparently the Darkness wasn't having it. He flicked his wrist and a strange sense of energy went over Missy knocking her unconscious, unsure whether it was just instinct or tolerance for Missy, Ahsoka rushed to her side and tried to aid her.

"Missy!" Ahsoka yelled she then felt for a pulse and found one, she turned towards the Darkness and faced it "you really shouldn't have done that!" She said "you're gonna pay for possessing me" at this the Darkness simply chuckled and spoke with it's raspy voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"Oh no" said the Darkness "you will pay, Ahsoka Tano, the prophecy will come to fruition, it will start here's, your downfall" the Darkness then produced a map that looked heavily detailed and he tossed it towards her "when you are ready, you will find me at this location, if you want the boy to survive"

"Boy?" Ahsoka said "what boy?" At this the Darkness said nothing and turned and walked away from her laughing silently, when Missy woke up she asked in her strange humour

"What did I miss?" At this Ahsoka looked back to where the Darkness had been but there was nothing much to say, so she picked up the map and hid it from Missy.

"Not much" she lied "come on" she then helped Missy up and then said "we'd best be heading back" and that settled everything once she had made sure that there was nothing else hiding in the mist, they walked back towards the encampment
