PART 3: ASTRAY ACOLYTES
CHAPTER 3: WAITING NO LONGER
Asajj pulled back the curtain of her small yellow house and looked out to the street again. She would have been able to sense if Anakin had come back yet. She was hyper attuned to him at the moment. Anakin had left them four months ago, the occasional communication he sent was vague and didn't tell her anything about where he was. All he said was that he had found someone willing to teach him more about the force and that he'd fill her in later. Asajj didn't trust the situation. Anakin was reckless and good at getting himself into trouble. Anyone who could teach Anakin about the force was most likely a Jedi.
Asajj's eyes swept up and down the street a moment, Anakin had also left her with the long term repairs on Starkiller to take care of. If Anakin knew what was good for himself he'd never come back. She would make him pay for leaving her to fix the ship he had crashed. Those thoughts of the ship aside, Asajj wanted him to come home, she knew Ahsoka did too. The little togruta, who was not so little anymore, had been enrolled in a good school as far as good schools went on Tanga – 3 . It was currently on break and Asajj knew that Ahsoka preferred Anakin to herself when it came to teaching the force and saber. Not that Ahsoka could learn much more from either one of them.
Asajj frowned a little, she understood wanting to know more about the force. Ahsoka could go further, she could go further. But trusting Jedi to gain the knowledge, Asajj didn't think she could ever do that. Her master Ky Narec had told her many times of the vast amounts of knowledge held within the Jedi temple. Asajj had recently started to wonder about that vast amount of stored knowledge. If she could gain access to that information, she might not need a Jedi at all. Ky Narec had told her of Holocrons, filled with the Jedi's secret training arts. Just one could teach her more about the force then she currently knew. Asajj's thoughts were interrupted as Ahsoka came into the grey lighted living room.
"He's not back yet," Ahsoka said.
"I wasn't looking for him," Asajj lied letting the current fall back into place.
"Well he's still not back yet, I wish he'd get done with whatever he's doing and come tell us about it… you don't think he went off to meet up with the pretty senator do you?" Ahsoka asked knowing it wasn't true.
"He'd better not have," Asajj growled. Ahsoka smiled to herself a little, Asajj and Anakin were like her parents and older siblings in one. They had been a small family ever since they had discovered her in the workhouse and Ahsoka had always depended on that relationship. It had never let her down. However, suddenly since Anakin had gone that relationship seemed threatened in some way. Ahsoka tried not to think about it but the longer Anakin was gone the more it felt like her little family was starting to fracture.
Shaking those negative thoughts out of her head Ahsoka watched as Asajj looked out the window one more time before letting the curtain fall again and turning to Ahsoka, Asajj said "I think we're done waiting around here, if he comes home he has a key." Standing Asajj added "I've got a plan that might just increase our own abilities in and knowledge of the force."
