Hey, everyone! I'm not dead! Sorry it took so long for me to update again. Crashed computer + Writer's block = No updates. I'm back and finally with an idea.

Jedi Temple

Anakin was back to square one again. Ahsoka was missing and he doesn't know where she is. He could still feel her in the Force and knew she was still alive. He wondered why he couldn't connect with her. When she went missing the first time, he could connect with her. She just blocked him out. This time, she wasn't blocking him. Something else was. He could feel she was in danger this time. He felt that somehow, Padme was connected with her disappearance this time. He got in his speeder and went over to the prison. He saw her and she was bigger than last time. She like she was ready to pop.

"What did you do to her?" She smirked deviously.

"To who, Ani?"

"You know damn well who. What have you done to Ahsoka?" She stood and walked over to him.

"What could I possibly do to her when I'm in here? It's not like I can leave this place just to get rid of that life stealing brat. Can't say this is my doing."

"I know you hired somebody to kidnap her. Who was it?"

"These are serious accusations, Ani. Do you have any proof I had anything to do with this?"

"I don't need any proof. You've been trying to get rid of Ahsoka for months. You have motive and you've hired a bounty hunter before to kill Ahsoka. Who's to say you wouldn't do it again?"

"And who's to say that I did? You can't prove your theory, Ani. And you can't hurt me without hurting your kids, so I know you're not going interogate me like you do your other prisoners. And you know I'm too smart for you to manipulate me into saying something that you want to hear. Looks like you're at another dead end. You can't connect me with anything. If I were you, I'd look into that bounty hunter that she was with for the past few months."

"How did you know about that?" She turned and walked back to her bed.

"I have my sources." She sat down and turned to face him. "I was also told that they had a bit of a relationship. Didn't last long, but they had one."

"You don't know what you're talking about. Ahsoka would never be in a relationship with a bounty hunter, especially Bane."

"Looks like little Ms. Honest and True didn't tell you everything about what happened when she was gone. He had feelings for her and she gained feelings for him. They tried it, but you came along and made things akward. She knew her only choice was to play innocent and say nothing happened. She lied to you, Ani." Anakin processed this as a possiblity, then mentally shook it.

"You're lying! Ahsoka would never do that! And even if she did, she would've been honest with me and told me about any affair!"

"Think what you want, Ani. You know what's true. Anyways, I may not know where she is, but if you care about her or your baby she's carrying, you might want to find her before she ends up in the wrong hands."

"What are you talking about?" She smirked slyly.

"It's a simple equation, Anakin. She's your Padawan, she's pregnant with your baby and she's missing. If word of that got to the other side... Well, I think you could figure that part on your own." Anakin's anger flared like the fires of Mustafar.

"You bitch! What have you done to her?"

"You're asking the wrong person that question. Ask the one that took her. He's the one dealing with her... for now." As much as Anakin wanted to get more out of her, he knew that Ahsoka may not have that much longer left. He had to go on what he had to find her. Without another word, he turned and left the prison. He went back to the Temple. On his way, he thought of everything he got from Padme and what he knew. It wasn't much to go on, but he had to connect the dots the best he could. He prayed that Ahsoka was okay.

Somewhere in the Outer Rim

Ahsoka, still chained to the wall, was meditating in her cell in attempt to calm herself down. She was worried about what Bane planned to do to her. She knew Bane had a bit of a soft spot for her, but he was still a bounty hunter and would torture her for no reason if he wanted to. She hoped that he wouldn't. He then came in the room and she opened her eyes. She had a medical droid with him.

"Make sure she completely healthy. My employer wants her undamaged." The droid came in the cell and checked her.

"Your employer? She's in prison. What does it matter to her that I'm undamaged?"

"Did I say my employer was that senator? She paid me to take you, not keep you. You went to the highest bidder that wanted a Jedi."

"And who would that be?"

"Count Dooku."

"What?" She was full of shock and fear. She knew Bane was mad at her for what happened on Naboo and still a bounty hunter, but she never expected him to sell her to the Sith Lord. "You sold me to Dooku? Are you out of your mind? He'll kill me. Did you even think about that?"

"I listen to the money. Dooku offered a lot for you. Once your out of my hair, I don't care what happens to you."

"You know you don't mean that. Bane, I know you're mad at me, but this is going to far. Please don't do this. Don't give me to Dooku." The medical droid finished and turned to Bane.

"She is healthly. As is the baby."

"Good. That's all for you." The droid left. Bane turned to leave after it.

"Bane!" He stopped and half turned his head. It was enough for him to see her pleading face. "Please."

He turned back and stood there for a minute. He thought about what he was doing. If he gave her to Dooku, he could most likely kill her. If he didn't, it could ruin his reputation. This was actually a hard decision for him to make. He then left the room, his mind made up. Ahsoka was left alone again. She knew Bane was still going to go through with handing her to Dooku. She held her knees against herself and cried. She was so afriad for her and her baby.

"Please, Anakin. Please help me."

Another chpater done. Hope you liked it. If you didn't, tough titties.

I know when I was gone more people put their input of my stories, mostly this one. People want me to stop this story or delete it and never write again. Not gonna happen. For a while, I did consider quiting FanFiction, but after some consideration and a pep-talk from my family, I decided not to stop. I love FanFiction. I love reading it and writing it. I'm not going to let a few bad review and sour apples make me quit. Besides, if I listen to bad things that people told me all the time, I would be a hypocrite to my own cause. I will continue to write FanFiction until I'm old and can't think straight anymore. FANFICTION FOR LIFE!
