Chapter 21 *Ahsoka's POV*
At first it was hard to find Obi-wan. When we landed, we were basically asking around. Well, ok. Not me, really. But Lux. He was asking around. While I was doing my best to feel him in the force (To sense him). I didn't trust walking around being 'seen', so I borrowed (like my master always did) a brownish cloak. One simular to the one I had back at the temple, which I like. Seeing it made me smile, so I knew I just had to borrow it (aside from the fact I wouldn't risk being caught).
I didn't sense Obi-wan at all, and Lux didn't really get good answers, so it came to a point where we rested for a while, and tried to think of what our next plan was. Well, we weren't giving up. We'd stay on Tatooine until we'd find him (mainly because we hadn't thought of anywhere else to go, and even when Bail Organa, himself, offered Lux and I a place in his palace with him, I refused, though I never brought it up with Lux). Lux had been throwing questions at me like, "Are you sure he said Tattooine?" or "What if he changed his plans?" or even "Maybe something happened to him?" (The last question made me glare at Lux), and I kept trying to dodge them, only giving answers like, "I don't know, Lux" and "Maybe" also "LUX! I'm trying to think". Okay, okay! I know. I wanted Lux to come, but that didn't really mean we'd get along. I could feel our moods shifting, and I don't know if I'm right, but I think Lux and I were getting in that stage. And no, not a sexual stage (Okay, eeesh!), but simply... An anger stange. One where you start to get so use to the other person, you... okay, bad example. Lets start again: Since we've been together (and not officially together), we're coming to a time we can get sick of each other... Is that a bad thing though? Can Lux and I actually have feelings for each other? Or was it just never meant to be? Okay, maybe that last question had an obvious answer, considering I'm a jedi that can't love... But does that rule not apply to me no more? Because the separatists have won? Because I walked out of the order and was to late to return to it? I'll never really know if I don't ask Obi-wan..., I thought. I was afraid of the answer Obi-wan may give me. If I found him.
But I thought Obi-wan's answer would be better than any. Okay, well master Yoda is still out there... I didn't really know where, either. But Obi-wan was the closest thing I had to family right now. Wasn't he? And I know he'd have an answer for me. He had to! He was last of the jedi council that I know! (Okay, Yoda doesn't count, because I don't know where to look for him...) But still.
While Lux and I sat around on the ship, we began to get hungry. Lux got up instantly, and said, "I'll go get us something to eat. You can stay here and think. Besides, I've been dying to go for a decent walk than sit here." And I didn't argue with him. Because I wanted to just sit here and think. I needed time to think anyways. I wasn't able to do it secretly without Lux so close at my side, because my expression always changed constantly when I thought of stuff (Obi-wan, Lux, Darth Vader, etc.). A part of me wanted to go back to Leia, and another part of me wanted to stay here close to Obi-wan and Luke. Which is ironic, since I didn't know how close I was to either of them.
"Are you sure?" I ask Lux, hoping he was. He smiled sweetly at me, and said, "Yes, Ahsoka. That is, if you prefer to come?" My smile turned grim, I knew it, "I'm fine. Go ahead." Gave me a nod, and left.
So I waited.
*Dream*
It was like I was falling from reality, and hit a cold, hard ground. I winced at the slight pain, and got to my feet. It was like... I've been here before. I saw dark clouds and an empty clearing. Rivers and rocks, mountains and trees… Thats when it hit me. My first dream. This is where my first dream was. But it had to mean something because I was brought back here, right? I had to... Than I felt the atmosphere change instantly. It was cold, and dark clouds surrounded me, everything turned back. Not knowing what to do, I took my first step and BAM! An explosion went off and I hit the ground for safety. When I wasn't hurt, I just layed there and close my eyes until something hit me. It was rain. It was raining? (Huh) I turned on my back, and realized the sounds wasn't an explosion. Lightening and thunder danced all around me.
This isn't exactly normal, I thought. It was just day a second ago... And thats when it occurred to me where I was. MORTIS! I tried waking up, hitting my head against the ground, pinching myself, and repeatings: wake up! wake up! wake up! But I didn't wake up. This was horrible! Falling in a place where horrible things had happend. So as soon as the rain stopped, I sighed. Because, yes, I was wet, and other than that: I couldn't wake up from my dream.
So much for thinking away from, Lux, I smirked. Than I heard something. Wings flapping. I sat up and jumped when a saw a big bird-like creature in front of me, flapping wings and had a mouth hanging open, and all I could feel coming from it was something dark and sinister. And at that moment, I knew. Because I wasn't just sitting in a meadow that had the atmosphere changing constantly, but I was facing the Son.
*Lux's POV*
Lux was walking towards a town not far from where they'd landed the ship. He knew Ahsoka needed time to think. He was worried about her. Most times, he wished Ahsoka would speek her mind so that he would understand what she's feeling at that moment. But he knew it'd wouldn't be easy. Ahsoka was careful with her words. That, Lux knew.
As he kept walking, he heard something far behind him, but didn't think it was really important. Which was a big mistake. When he reach the town, he noticed that many people were in their homes, ready for bed, and that not many people were in the night wondering like he was. He saw a food stand, and a guy (human guy) was behind it. Lux smiled, hoping that whatever he gets for Ahsoka, she'll like.
But the noise got closer, and closer, and by the time he finally turned to look behind him, everything went black. And Lux Bonteri disappeared.
(A/N Okay, So We didn't update in a while. Before this, there was another "chapter 21" that was "Unfinished". You see, E-Kae and I don't live in the same community anymore, because I moved and currently live 2 hours away, so I was on the phone when 'Kae asked, "Are you done with the last chapter? I need to post it", so as stupidly as I am, I sent her the chapter and forgot to tell her to end it. And she posted it. And the readers out there (Thanx anyways) had thought it was left at one of the worst cliff hangers (although they didn't say that, I just knew). So I went back to read the chapter, and than realized how stupid I was to not mention to E-Kae to end it the way she wanted to. Because we discussed how it'd end before, and... well, yeah. I forgot to say something.)
E-Kae: Not only did you forget to say something to me, but you also forgot to tell me about the 'announcement' that I had to make.
Emily: Yeah, I know. Sorry. I was distracted :3 Okay, you can announce it. Or should I?
E-Kae: Go for it.
Emily: Sure. Okay, so to every reader out there, we have some news. Yes, most of you already know that this is the "Last Chapter", but for other's that don't, well "SURPRISE!"
E-Kae: Some surprise that is. You didn't even finish.
Emily: I was hoping you'd tell the other part.
E-Kae: Go for it.
Emily: Ugh. Okay, well, moving along. E-Kae announced on Twitter this afternoon that there was going to be "Strange Things 2: The Unexpected" for details or any information, follow us on 12345EKD (That is, if you have a twitter)
E-Kae: WAIT! We haven't covered up everything. So don't go anywhere just yet. Do you guys remember Chapter 2 of this story? When I said "Reviews are a way of encouraging us to update"? Well, I meant it. We know there are readers out there who have stopped reviewing (or at least I hope there are readers) for the last two chapters. So we thought: Did we do something wrong? And yes, we did. Apparently. The Chapter 20 was a "romance chapter", and not many people liked that. But, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Strange Things not marked as 'Romance/Adventure'? I thought so! Before, Emily and I have noticed how we don't really have "romance chapters", so we decided that chapter 20 would be... I don't know, a "romance chapter"!
Emily: Other than that, we've basically covered up everything. Oh, and notice how this chapter had Ahsoka coming back to Mortis? Well, the idea originally came from Chapter 3 itself. And than "Mortis" was just thrown in there. But anyways, we hoped you guys enjoyed Strange Things. The idea to leave to leave the last chapter on a cliff hanger came from one of our best readers, Bookreaderninja. Thank you so much, you've helped us a lot! Well, we've made it this far. Think back to the first time we wrote the first chapter. Than the seconds. Than the third, and always moving forward. Well, it feels GREAT to know that this is over. I just can't wait for the #2! And thanks to all those other people out there, sending love to me when I lost my family, and encouraging me to move forward with my writing. I'm very greatful to have wonderful reviewers.
E-Kae: Yeah, I agree. :)
Emily: Other than everything I said, I only ask you (the readers, reviews, etc.) to do one thing. If its not to much to ask, though. With my heart-
E-Kae: And with mine.
Emily: I ask you (the reader) to review, and tell us what you think. :) 3 )
