Second chance chapter 5

Ahsoka held the hand tightly and began to pull upward, she groaned as she strained to pull Anakin up over the ledge. "A little help would be nice" She called and she continued to lift, there was no respond. As Ahsoka's hand that grasped the other came in to view she expected to seen the tan rather large hand of Anakin but that was not the case.

Instead Ahsoka saw a orange hand connected to the same color arm. Ahsoka stepped forward just enough to look over the ledge but still far enough back into the room that she wouldn't fall out of the window. Her blue eyes widened with shock as she looked into another pair of blue eyes, but the eyes were not what surprised her; it was who the eyes belong to…her.

The two sets of eyes locked without a single word 'what in the name of the force is going on' Ahsoka thought. In her moment of shock her grasp slipped and her hand was just barely able to catch the hand of her older self.

As if that wasn't strange enough something began to happen, Ahsoka saw her older self began to fade like mist and soon her hand grasped nothing but air. Ahsoka's breath became fast and her eyes darted from side to side trying to figure out what she had just seen.

The floor beneath her became hard and rugged and a cold shiver ran down Ahsoka's spine when she heard a mechanical breathing echo around her. "Ahsoka…" said the voice of Anakin behind her, she spun around quickly her heart racing. Her eyes landed upon a figure in a tall black suit with a damaged mask that revealed part of…Anakin's face.

"No…this, this isn't right…I saved you…I…we defeated the Sith" Ahsoka stuttered taking a step back. The heels of her feet were at the edge of the shattered window but Ahsoka was frozen in place. "Anakin…" Ahsoka said in a voice barley above a whisper; the tall man known as Darth Vader took a step forward igniting his crimson blade.

Ahsoka took another step back not realizing how close to the edge she was and slipped falling out of the window. Franticly Ahsoka grabbed the ledge with both hands and held on with all her strength but the duel with Sidious had drained her strength. The sound of the mechanical respirator began to move closer to the window until the tall black figure stood at the edge of the window looking down upon Ahsoka.

Ahsoka's grip began to give slowly but she tried to pull herself up. "Help me!" Ahsoka pleaded looking up in to the partly unmasked face of Vader. Vader tilted his head to one side and instead of grabbing her arm, he raised his boot and smashed it against Ahsoka's hand.

Ahsoka cried out in pain as the heavy foot slammed down on her figures; as the boot raised her hands gave away and she began a descent. Then all went black and darkness and coldness engulfed her.

Ahsoka woke up sore and tired, her body felt like it had been through a great ordeal. The ground beneath her was cold and rouged, her eyes opened slowly and she had expected to find herself at the bottom of the senate building or even submerged in a batca tank but that was not the case.

Instead Ahsoka found herself in the darkness of what looked like to be some under ground cave. Slowly she sat up and looked around 'what happened…' she thought. She looked around for her lightsabers and found them lying not to far from where she had woken up. She called then to her through the force and the hilts flew into her hands, she looked down expecting to find the straight hilts of her green and yellowish green saber. However her eyes fell upon flat curved hilts, her thumbs reach over and activated the blades.

A white hot blade came from each of the hilts and Ahsoka's eyes widened in realization, she hadn't been sent back in time. She hadn't save the Jedi, she hadn't save the galaxy and worst of all she hadn't saved Anakin. So it was a dream, a very cruel dream at that. She stood up slowly and turned off the blades putting them back on her belt and saw a hallway. She had no idea where it led but she began walking down it, into the unknown.

(I know not the way most of you wanted it to end but I thought it was be a cool turn of events. To go through all that and find out it was for nothing. Hope you enjoyed.)
