Twisted inside chapter 13

Wake up child

Slowly Ahsoka's eyes fluttered open and a yawn escaped her mouth as she sat up. Two things came to her attention when the room came in to focus firstly she didn't remember falling asleep during her meditation but apparently she had. Secondly after scanning the room she found a tray of food sitting by the door. The loud growl of her stomach reminded her that she was hungry so she stood up and walked over to the tray. She picked it up and carried it back over to her bed and sat down and began eating.

As she ate she began to wonder if somehow she had brought this upon herself. Had she done something that had angered the force itself enough to cause it to curse her with what was happening to her? She racked her brain trying to think of what it may be but as far as she could remember the force had always come to her when she needed it, it had never turned its back on her and kept her from touching it. She ruled out that possibility but she still wondered why this had been brought upon her.

Anakin blame himself even when he wasn't at fault as he had done so in the past. She didn't blame him because he had no control over what had happened to her. She didn't blame him for letting the Son capture her and she didn't blame him for what was happening now. She knew that he would flip out if he knew where she was at the moment and raise hell with the council. He cared about his friends it was one of his strengths as it drove him harder but it was also one of his weaknesses. He would often put himself in danger to save his friends and she wouldn't be the one to chastise him for that. It's what any normal sentient being would do, they would watch out for their friends. She couldn't have asked for a better master or friend, she was honored to be his apprentice and greatly cherished their friendship.

Her pleasant thoughts where interrupted when she felt the force slowly beginning to wrap around her. "No no no it can't be, it can't be dying this quickly" Ahsoka exclaimed standing up looking for some sort of a mirror to examine her collar. When she didn't find one immediately her heart began to race and she began to search more franticly. When she still didn't find one she stopped and took a deep breath "Calm down" she told herself trying to slow her racing heart. She tried to calm down but her heart wouldn't slow and her mind would stop racing.

She looked around in the darkness and that surrounded her and she ran up to one of the walls "Someone I need help" she yelled. Her eyes searched the darkness for someone anyone that may be able to help her but she couldn't see anyone and she couldn't feel anyone her connection to the force was still dampened. "Master!" she cried out loudly hitting her fits against the wall again. Banging harder as her desperation grew "Anyone please don't let it take me!" she yelled louder straining the mechanical vocalizer in her.

Slowly she felt it taking over "No stay away I don't want this!" Ahsoka screamed as the burning sensation began to spread through her body. In the depths of her mind her dark half was speaking to her "Do not resist my dear the more you do the more it will hurt." Ahsoka fought harder as the burning got worse and more intense, "I…cant let you" she said. "Don't fight dear you'll only make it worse" but still she fought trying to push it away.

The burning almost became unbearable as he spread through her entire body "Please someone!" she cried loudly but no one came. A few moments later though her cries fell completely silent which drew the sudden interest of the two hidden Jedi watching from the shadows. The silence lasted several minutes as if nothing had even happened but the violent shift in the force told the Jedi that something had happened.

Slowly she lifted her right hand and placed it on the wall then shifting to one knee she stood up. She used her left hand to grab the collar that was around her neck and with a pull snapped it in half then she discarded it to the side. She inhaled deeply then let it out between her teeth making a noise that resembled a loud hiss.

She opened her eyes that now burned like fires of the brightest stars with a all consuming hatred at its core. She placed her other hand on the wall as well as her eyes narrowed and she searched the darkness beyond the cell she was in. She knew she was being watched, she could feel the lightside of the force just beyond her cell. Shifting her eyes from left to right and then back then stop as they settled on a particular spot in the shadows.

Slowly two figures step from the shadows and eyed the togurtan and it was the green Jedi master who spoke "Padawan Tano?" he questioned. The togurtan's eyes looked onto the Jedi master but she didn't speak. Slowly her head tilted to the right and the Jedi grandmaster suddenly staggered back as a violent force attacked his mind filling them with vivid images.

Yoda gasped and clutched his heart as he saw images of death, death everywhere. Jedi, republic citizens, the separatists so many dead. Sickness he saw sickness, he saw chaos, riots and war. The temple he saw it destroyed, smoldering in flames and smoke. He saw shadows wielding crimson sabers cutting down people who fled in fear. He saw planet after planet being consumed in war and death, stars becoming black holes devouring anything in there path. It was…sickening, it was twisted, it was evil. After a moment the dark presence retreated from his mind and he was left completely shaken.

Then the yellow eyes moved toward the vappad Jedi master and wide wicked smile spread across her face. Mace Windu was bombarded with a mass of images and sounds. Again the temple burning but instead of shadows with crimson sabers like Master Yoda had seen Ahsoka showed him something different. Clones hundreds of clones attacking the Jedi temple and a hooded blurry figure at the head of the attack cutting down Jedi with a lightsaber. Then he saw a old man with a disfigured face laughing evilly and beside him stood a man? Or was it a machine maybe it was a mixture of both. He saw the man/machine hunting down Jedi then he saw a much older Master Kanobi getting cut down.

Both Jedi were shocked so much that it was evident on their faces as they stared at Ahsoka or whatever had taken control of her. She had showed them the future well two of many that could yet to come. Either way it wasn't good for the Jedi order or the Republic. The wicked smile remained on her face as she stepped back away from the wall watching as the two Jedi made their way back to the lift that led to the temple with hast.
