A/N: Thanks for the kind reviews guys! I hope that you like this chappy:)

Obi-Wan opened his eyes, he was barely able to look around the cavern; he soon realized that he was alone. And soon questions began to surface in his mind.

Where was Aayla?

Had she been captured or worse-had she been killed?

Obi-Wan didn't have the strength to move his bloody body, so he had no choice but to lay there and expect the worst to come; meaning a clone coming in and adding pain and misery to his already dire situation.

At that moment Obi-Wan believed that he had been left to die in the cave, as he lay there thinking that he finally was about to meet his end he remembered Aayla's last words to him:

"It doesn't matter; I'm going to get you out of here."

It was too late for that now; he hoped that she had escaped safely, but there was a terrible cloud of doubt over him, like a part of him was refusing to believe that she was alive and safe.

He now retried the attempt to move and found that he could shift positions; he now rolled to his side; he began to feel cold, and the whole cavern seemed as though it was spinning, until at last, all went black.

At last Aayla had gathered her wits and stood up; she could not give up hope-no matter how dismal the situation seemed.

At that moment, Aayla heard a loud noise from above, she looked up and what she saw lifted her spirits-and her hope.

In the distance, not far from where she was standing, Aayla saw a ship preparing to land; although it was no doubt a republic ship, which meant only one thing-that there were clones on board, an idea still hatched in her head.

She knew that Obi-Wan would probably never attempt it for he was the definition of cautious, but this was probably her best chance yet of getting herself and Obi-Wan out of the clone infested planet.

She would in a sense steal the spaceship, and then she would come back for Obi-Wan and then they would return to Coruscant. She truly liked the sound of her plan; once again she had hope. Hope that they could escape the clone infested world.

She continued to watch the ship land until it disappeared from her view, for the fungal tree prevented her from seeing as much as she liked, but she had seen enough to know which direction to take.

She carefully and quietly made her way through the fungal trees until at last the ship was in sight; it was a large ship, but nothing that she couldn't handle, she very skilled when it came to flying ships, and she was not as reckless as Anakin.

With only a few large plants as her cover, Aayla knew that she had to be cautious, for one wrong move could jeopardize everything.

She watched about thirteen clones file out of the ship and walk into the opposite direction; she knew that there had to be more on board, but she wasn't sure if she should let her cover be blown at that time or wait for the rest to file out.

Then Ob-Wan came to her mind: when she left him he was unconscious, she didn't know how much time he had left to live-he was wounded badly so badly in fact, that it was beyond her skill to heal him. She needed someone who was stronger in the force than her.

And so that sealed her decision: she was not about to wait around while her friend lay there dying on the floor of a cave-she was going to do something-she needed to do something.

So she emerged from where she was hiding, as she stood in the open space she hoped that she would remain unnoticed until she boarded the ship…
