Laced with darkness chapter 12
Anakin had sensed Ahsoka's fear the moment Obi-wan had taken a hold of his arm, he tried to warn Obi-wan to let go but Ahsoka had already leaped across the room and had a saber to the Jedi master's throat. "Ahsoka stop!" Anakin said quickly running over to her and prying her off of Obi-wan but with great difficulty.
"No master, he is trying to hurt you!" Ahsoka protested while trashing viciously trying to break from his grasp and attack Obi-wan again. Obi-wan who had gotten over his shock stood up looking at Ahsoka with concern and confusion.
"Ahsoka calm down, Obi-wan is not going to hurt me I promise" Anakin said tightening his grasp on her while backing away from Obi-wan. The image of Anakin laying legless and missing an arm laying at the bottom of a hill while Obi-wan standing on top burned in the front of Ahsoka's mind. "Yes he is; he is going to hurt you" said Ahsoka while glaring at Obi-wan with eyes of pure hatred.
Anakin spun Ahsoka around so she now faced him and gripped her by the shoulders "Listen to me Ahsoka; you need to calm down right now!" Anakin said raising his voice trying to keep his own anger from growing. Ahsoka immediately relaxed slightly in his grasp, she had been slightly startled by Anakin's raising voice. She turned and glared at Obi-wan "Fine" she said crossing her arms over her chest.
Obi-wan looked between the two of them still confused and concerned but not for Anakin; his concern was pointed directly at Ahsoka who had suddenly fell silent but was glaring at him looking like she may spring at him again any moment.
When Anakin was sure Ahsoka would attack Obi-wan again he let one of his hands fall to his side while the other wrapped around Ahsoka's shoulder as he led her to a couch. Anakin then turned to Obi-wan and motioned for him to sit down which the master Jedi carefully walked over and sat down.
When all three were seated Anakin was the first to speak "Obi-wan I know what you are thinking but this wasn't her fault alright" he said. Obi-wan shifted his gazed from Anakin to Ahsoka then back again still receiving a death glare from Ahsoka spoke, "The part about Ahsoka attacking me or the part about her looking like a ravage animal?" Obi-wan said calmly. A low growl was produced from Ahsoka's mouth "you would be wise to silence your tongue Kanobi" she said darkly.
"Ahsoka" Anakin warned carefully then turned to Obi-wan "You didn't see what she looked like in that prison master, you don't know what she went through; she was put there on allegations by the Council without even being given a chance to speak to them" Anakin said.
"Anakin, the Council knows that she is with you right now. The Council believes that she is a danger to the Jedi and possibly a danger to you" Obi-wan said slowly. "I would never hurt my master" Ahsoka objected in a angry tone; "But you would hurt others who you thought would do Anakin harm" Obi-wan replied coolly. "And there is a problem with that?" Ahsoka said with a wicked but innocent smile; her hands that were clinched in tight fist slowly opened while she gazed at the Jedi.
Obi-wan sighed and turned to look at Anakin "For your sake and the sake of Ahsoka I will not tell the Council that I saw her but please Anakin be logical about this it's only a matter of time before the Council locates her." Obi-was said standing up and made his wake back to the speeder, he felt Ahsoka's eyes burning into his back as he walked to the speeder and left.
When Obi-wan left Anakin turned and looked at Ahsoka who was shaking with anger "he wont hurt you master, I wont let him" she said. Anakin embraced her in a hug trying to quell her raging anger "It's ok Snips" he said softly then getting up to check on Padme.
Thirty minutes later Padme was finishing braiding her hair and grabbed her datapad ready to go to the senate building. Anakin was standing in the room watching her with a smile across his face with his arms crossed, he was truly blessed to have such a beautiful caring wife and with a child coming on the way too.
Ahsoka was left alone in the living room with her boiling anger "no matter the cost," she repeated over and over while her dark thoughts of destroying Obi-wan and the Council swirled in her mind. Then it hit her, a massive wave of darkness exploded in her mind; she crumpled over in pain gripping her head as she fell from the couch on to the floor knocking over a vase causing it to shatter when it hit the ground.
Anakin ran in to the living room hearing something break and found Ahsoka lying on the floor in pain "Ahsoka" he said quickly running over to her side. Ahsoka's breathing had become hard and fast "Ahsoka look at me!" Anakin said shaking her but her eyes remained closed tightly. Ahsoka could feel her power growing as she fell further into the darkness and she greedy took it and became hungry for more.
Padme rushed into the room after Anakin "What happened?" she asked. "Stay back," Anakin said turning to look at his wife then turned back to Ahsoka who had become very stiff. "No no no no not again" Anakin begged still shaking Ahsoka. "Ani what's wrong with Ahsoka?" Padme asked worried; "her powers are growing but she is angry…" Anakin said with out looking at his wife. This wasn't the first time this had happened to Ahsoka, it had happened one other time at the temple shortly after they had returned from Mortis.
After several minutes Ahsoka's body relaxed, the grey in her lekku was now a dark grey and now even the smallest vains in her body turned black. "Master…" Ahsoka said in a raspy tired voice while opening her yellow eyes that had now had turned red on the edges of them. Anakin wrapped her up in a hug "It's ok Ahsoka it's over" Anakin said holding her tightly. "Master" Ahsoka said in a more tired voice before she passed out in his arms.
Anakin carefully picked her up and carried her past Padme to the guest room where he laid her gently in the bed, she needed to rest after what just happened. He quietly walked out of the room closing the door behind him. "Ani what happened?" Padme asked concerned but in a whisper. "She just needs to rest, you will have to got to the senate building without me today. I need to stay here and watch over Ahsoka." Anakin said leading his wife away and back toward the living room.
