Set after Brain Invaders (Season 2 Episode 4). I promise the next POV will be someone else.

Ahsoka's POV

No no no no…I just killed Bariss…

My eyes shoot open, I reach for my lightsabre, only to realise it was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare Ahsoka, it's just a nightmare. I keep telling myself. My sheets are on the floor, I've sweated through my pajamas, my room reflects how I feel, a mess.

Does this happen to everyone? I couldn't help wonder. I know Master Skywalker has nightmares on the occasion, I can hear him through the walls, can he hear me? Does he know this is still going on? He can't. He'll think I'm weak and cast me out, I mean who has the same nightmares for a month?

There's no way I would be able to survive today's training on another sleepless night, Master Skywalker would notice.

"Ahsoka?" Anakin's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "You ready?"

"Yes Master, just a minute." Take a quick glance at the mirror, I collect my thoughts. Ugh, I look atrocious. But there's not much I can do, putting on a resilient front, I open the door.

"Well someone most certainly woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

"Very funny, Skyguy," I retort in a playful tone hoping to hide my nerves. He doesn't catch on and I let out a sigh of relief. "I could say the same for you."

"Oh really Snips, I simply just had an early morning errand," He says as he flattens a puff of hair.

I roll eyes, Master Skywalker, and his 'early morning errands'. He must really be clueless to think that I don't know where he actually goes but I don't push it, I know I'll never get anything out of him.

*time lapse*

Skyguy and his bloody conditioning. If I had a decent night of sleep, I might be able to pull through, but not now, not when my body literally wants to shut down.

I can't keep going, I can't keep up. As the world is spinning before my eyes, I fall down on my knees panting for breath. Sleep.

"Snips?" I hear somewhere in the near distance. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Anakin, brows furrowed in concern.

As if just on cue, my breakfast decides to make itself known again and I vomit all over the floor.

At first, I notice Anakin flinch with disgust but that is quickly overwhelmed and replaced with worry. "Ahsoka either you tell what's wrong, or we're going to the healers."

I know he's not playing with his tone, it's serious but full of concern and sometimes it felt comforting to know that he was there, always looking out for me. Catching my breath, I say "it's nothing master, I just had a sleepless night, that's all."

"Is it those nightmares from Geonosis, are they back?"

How did he know, am I really that easy to read?

"Your force shields are down, I can read you rather easily whenever I want. I promise the only time I've it is now."

"Oh, well the nightmares, they never left. I wake up from the same thing every morning, it's been a month, I should be able to move on."

"Ahsoka, look at me," I meet his eyes. "War is not as glamourous or as heroic as anyone imagined, so it's okay to have them. You move on, but at your own pace and if that takes a while, we can always go find Master Che to make you a sleeping tonic."

"I'm sorry Master, I should be stronger."

"You are one of the strongest people I know Ahsoka and I'll never be mad at you because you have nightmares. Honestly, I've had my fair share of them too."

Master Kenobi has told me to avoid talking about the past to Anakin, that he came from a dark one.

"I'm merely disappointed that you didn't come to me about this problem. I want you to be able to trust me enough, Ahsoka."

"Okay."

"Now that's what I wanted to hear, I'll ask Vokara to brew something to help you sleep better but let clean up this mess first," he says referring to the vomit all over the floor which was really starting to wreak.

I shrivel my nose in disgust. "Good idea."

From then on, nightmares were a regular occurrence after daunting missions, but Anakin always seemed to make them go away eventually. Though part of me wished he trusted me enough to talk about his own but he was my master and I was his Padawan and I know my place.
