She couldn't breath, neither think. She tried to walk normal, but she had to support herself with a hand at the wall. She walked slowly down the corridor. She wasn't sure where she was actually going, but she didn' care.
It was in the middle of the night and Rex was tonight the guard. He saw and called after Ahsoka, but she didn't give a respons. He ran to her. Her view was empty.
She trembered as he laid his arm around her and lead her to his quarters. Anakin stood in the door and looked at Rex.
"I found her, walking through ghe corridors." Rex said.
Anakin nodded and stept aside to let Ahsoka in. Anakin noticed immediatly how tired she looked.
"Go to sleep." he said.
He expected a snippy answer, exspecially after their dispute, but she just went to her quarters and closed the door. He signed and walked back in his room.
She turned to the other side in her bed. She couldn't fall alseep. What had happend was to scaring and confusing. She had to tell Anakin, but how?
She stood up and walked over to his door. She stood a while in front of it - Thinking if she should really tell him now or tomorrow.
She opened the door. Anakin turned around to face her.
"What is it, snips?" he asked tired.
"Can...Can I sleep this night by you?" she whispered.
Anakin was confused, but he nodded. She walked over to him and laid down beside him. He put the blanket over her.
After a short time he felt her trembeling. He laid an arm around her and hold her slightly closer, but she tremberd now more than before, as if she had fear to lay so close to him.
He pulled her slightly away and lifted her face up. He was surprised as he saw tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked worried.
"I retunred from the Archives and met...Drake." she said and a tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped it away with his thump.
"What did this boy this time?" he asked
"He..., he..." she couldn't finish.
"He?" asked Anakin.
He wanted to know what this boy did to her. 'It must be bad when she acts like this' he thought.
She took a deep breath and looked in his eyes. She gathered all her corage and said.
"Drake raped me."
Anakin was completly shocked. He immediatly pulled her into a thight hug. He hold her close to him, he didn't care that his clothers gets ness 'cause she was crying now.
"Shh. Shh. It's okay, Ahsoka." he said and tried to calm her. How DARE this boy to do something like this to Ahsoka?! He felt the rage in him. He stood up.
"Anakin, where are you going?" Ahsoka's voice was shaky as she called out to him.
Anakin ignored her, and threw on his cloak. He ran out of their dorm, and stormed down the abandoned halls. He suddenly heard soft footsteps behind him, and turned to see Ahsoka running towards him. "Anakin, wait," she called. He waited.
"Go back, Ahsoka. I'll deal with this," he said firmly.
"Deal with what? Anakin, I don't like it when you're upset," she said quietly.
"That monster raped you, Ahsoka. He violated you, and I'll make him pay. If you want to come, than find. But stay out of my way." He turned, and continued walking toward the Padawan's dorm, Ahsoka trailing behind.
As he reached room #245, Anakin kicked it open, slicing through the lock with his lightsaber. Drake was sitting at the desk, playing with his data pad, but stood up when Anakin entered. "Hey, what are you doing in here?" he spat.
Anakin lunged forward, and grabbed Drake by the arm, hurling him onto the bed. "I'd shut up if I were you," he growled.
Drake was a tall boy, only two years younger than Anakin, and immediately jumped back onto his feet. "You can't do this, Skywalker. Anger isn't right."
"And raping innocent girls is?!"
Drake paled at those words, and bit his lip. "She wanted to be with me."
"I did not!" Ahsoka's voice echoed through the room as she entered the room. She shut the door and locked it behind her. Her eyes were narrowed, and her face scrunched into a scowl. "I hate what you did to me!" she cried.
Anakin shoved Drake back onto the bed, this time holding him there. Drake struggled, but Anakin was stronger. "Why the hell would you do that to her?" Anakin asked, furious.
Drake sneered. "I love her! I've always loved her! I have every right to be with her…"
Anakin suddenly picked Drake up by the collar, and held him against the wall. One of his hands reached for the lightsaber on his belt. "Ever touch her again, and I SWEAR I'll kill you where you stand!"
Suddenly, Ahsoka ran over, and placed a hand on Anakin's arm. "Anakin, don't. Please."
Anakin looked down at her scared face, and lowered Drake back onto the ground – but none too gently. Drake scurried away, and Anakin and Ahsoka turned to leave the room.
Before he closed the door though, Anakin turned around and punched Drake in the face, sending him sprawling into his desk. Anakin walked to the door, and opened it. "I mean it, Drake. Stay. Away. From. Ahsoka." Then, he slammed the door, leaving Drake to wallow in his self-pity.
Ahsoka went wit her arms around her, beside Anakin, back to the quarters. Anakin was still slighty angry and looked down at her, but his gaze changed as he saw how hurt she was.
„Ahsoka..." he stuttered.
She shook her head and whispered.
„Not yet..." she said.
He bit short on his lips and they entered their quarters. She walked over to hers, but Anakin graped her wrist and pulled her into a hug. She wanted to get ouf of his grip, but she couldn't. She hugged him back and began to cry.
Anakin stokked her lekku and tried to calm her. He laid his head between her montrails. How did this boy dare to do something like this to his padawan – his love?! He felt again the hatered in him.
„You should sleep." he said after she had stopped crying.
„Can I sleep by you,...again?" she asked and looked up at him.
He nodded and they walked over to Anakin's room. She laid down and he wrapped an arm around her and hold her close to him. He wanted to give her the feeling to be safe, she needed it. She soon fall sleep in his arms.
