A/N: I had writers block for a bit on this chapter so it wasn't posted as soon as I wanted it to be. I feel like Anakin can be such a tricky character to write about because he cares for Ahsoka so much. Feel free to leave some honest reviews. Anyway, here it goes!

Rex's POV

It took everything Rex knew about healing to keep Ahsoka alive. Even though he was trained in medicine, he wasn't nearly as good as the medic was. It didn't help that most of the supplies were destroyed when the ship blew up, including the med kit. Rex decided to take inventory of what was left while keeping watch of Ahsoka. There wasn't much in his pack, but it kept him busy. General Skywalker had taken the other pack, which contained roughly the same things. A few rations, a canteen, a Jedi robe, and detonators. None of which would help the injured youngling.

Ahsoka's head started jerking from side to side, quickly catching the attention of Rex. He rushed to her side and noticed how vulnerable she was in this state. Pulling off one of his gloves, he put a hand on her forehead, and realized she was burning up. Ahsoka was in a lot of pain, but he didn't know why.

Rex needed to stop her fever before it got any worse. He suddenly remembered her robe from when he took inventory. Anakin had taken his own robe with him when he left. Rex grabbed the cloak and tore off some of the fabric. Then, he grabbed the canteen. After dumping the cool water on the torn cloth, he folded it, and placed it on Ahsoka's forehead. It wasn't much, but it would have to do for now.

Anakin's POV

"Let's stop here," Anakin said to the clones, who crouched down to fill their canteens.

They were next to a small stream. The water so clear you could see the stones resting at the bottom. They seemed to sparkle under the moonlight, glimmering throughout the water. Under different circumstances, Anakin would have taken notice to the beauty around him. They had already passed the ship, checking it for any usable form of communication. The clearing they had battled in was still littered with fallen clones and droids.

Anakin sat next to a tree by the stream. He gently rested his head against the rough bark and closed his eyes as the clones ate some military rations. It was late. He was leading the clones farther away from the shelter of the cave, he had no plan for what to do if he found Count Dooku, and they needed to get Ahsoka back to Coruscant before she got any worse.

"General. I don't mean to interrupt, but what is the plan here?" Kop asked. Anakin slowly opened his eyes to the question. Kop was sitting near him, his meal nearly finished. What is the plan? Anakin thought to himself. "General?" He asked again.

"We need to get to a ship so we can send out a signal. We'll be dead if the Separatists find us before we contact the Republic for help. The Jedi Council should know that something has happened by now because we never gave our mission report," Anakin explains. "But it's important we don't attract too much attention or we'll never make it off this damn orb."

As Anakin started to stand, he felt a wave of pain through the force, and put a hand to his head. He couldn't ease Ahsoka's discomfort from a distance, but he could still feel it. Anakin was her only hope at surviving, so they needed to get moving. May the force be with you, he thought as they started off again.

Rex's POV

Ahsoka's fever hasn't changed since it started, but Rex still made sure to keep a cool cloth on her forehead anyways. It had been at least eight hours since she first passed out and her symptoms didn't make any sense. Maybe she is allergic to something on this planet's surface, Rex theorized. What else could cause symptoms like this?

Ahsoka started to stir again so Rex prepared himself to ask her questions. If she could gather to strength to tell him what happened, maybe he could help her.

"Commander Tano. Can you hear me?" He put a hand on her shoulder as he asked her.

Ahsoka opened her eyes to his words. She looked distressed. Quickly she sat up, wincing because of the quick movement. Rex moved farther from her to give her space and he was taken aback at the way she looked. Her eyes were bloodshot, her orange skin was pale, and the stripes on her lekku were faded. Ahsoka called her lightsaber to her hand and activated it, holding it in a defensive position in front of her.

"Get away from me!" She shouted at Rex. Her voice trembled at the use of each word.

"Calm down Commander. Everything's fine. You're safe," Rex assured her.

Ahsoka still firmly held her lightsaber in front of her. She looked around the cave and panic washed over her face.

"What did you do to him?" Snarled Ahsoka. She slowly lifted her hand and Rex felt himself struggling to breathe. Slowly, he was being lifted into the air, gasping for breath and clawing at his neck, but it was no use. "Where is my master?!" Ahsoka shouted.

"Commander. St-stop," Rex could barely speak.

"Don't try to reason with me, Ventress! I won't fall for your tricks," snapped Ahsoka.

Ahsoka POV

She needed to find Anakin and Ventress would tell her where he was, Ahsoka just had to make her talk. Slowly, she tightened her grip through the force until

Ventress went limp. After letting the her drop, Ahsoka looked away from the unconscious body. She had gone too far; torture was not the Jedi way.

Ahsoka turned off her lightsaber and leaned her head back on the cavern wall, closing her eyes. Sitting up hurt, but using the force was like fire through her veins. How did Ventress get in here? Where was Anakin and the rest of the clones?, thought Ahsoka.

The sound of the fire crackling snapped Ahsoka out of her thoughts and she opened her eyes. She held her arm over her stomach and slowly stood up, using the cavern wall for support. Everything in her sight was blurry and misplaced. Probably an affect from whatever she was injected with. However, the entrance to the cave was still visible, despite the dark and Ahsoka's vision. She cautiously moved her way away from the fire and into the woods. She needed to find out what happened to her and her master.

A/N: WOW that was not an easy chapter to write. It's a little bit shorter than the last one, but hopefully just as enjoyable. Next chapter will be up as soon as possible!
