The Home Coming I Wish I Could Forget

Where could I go? I had escaped from Anakin, I mean Vader, for now but how long until he found me again. He was now determined to get me. I can't believe my master wants to kill me. What had I done? I had never betrayed him like all the holonetworks said. Maybe a couple times I got too bold and snippy and didn't follow orders but still I had never conspired against the Republic or the now Empire. Now I was alone. I had thought of one place I could go but I was not sure if I should go. Maybe Vader had taken everyone I knew that I loved but he hadn't (hopefully) taken my family on Shili. Maybe they would take me back. I would blend in with the other Togrutas and not be discovered. Yes, that was my plan. As soon as thought of this I punched in the coordinates and headed to the planet. It was three hours away so I had plenty of time to myself. Not like I can have it with anyone else, Right? Shili, my old home. The last time I had been there it was when I was 10 years old. Force, that was almost 7 years ago. I had gone there to get my Akul Headdress. Plo Koon had decided for me to go because he said I needed to gain more knowledge of my own culture and gain respect from my own people. Plo Koon. He had been like my father. He had been so close to me. I remember him teaching me to use the force for the first time. After I had force pulled my lightsaber to me for the first time ever when I was four I remember running to him and hugging him. He was so proud of me. He had been the father I never had or at least never knew. He had guided me. He was now dead. The stupid clones had killed him. I can't believe they killed. They shot him down after all he had done for them. I needed Plo Koon's guidance right about now.

"Plo Koon" I whispered to myself. I started to cry but then I stopped myself.

"Get a grip Ahsoka." I said to myself. "Everyone dies just not always peacefully."

I grimaced. How could Anakin do this to me! My sadness turned to anger and frustration.

"No, Ahsoka don't get mad that's what turned Anakin. Don't let it happen to you." My conscience said to me.

I took a deep breath and meditated for at least an hour. I stopped meditating 30 minutes before landing and started getting ready. I changed from my usual two-piece outfit to a tight black leather jumpsuit because from what I remembered Shili isn't the warmest planet. When I was there last the wind had been terrible but I still had gotten my headdress.

Flash Back:

I saw the beast before it had seen me. It was a monster and huge even for an Akul. Only later did I find out it had destroyed two villages and called the Destroyer. I didn't bring my lightsaber just a small knife to get the teeth with. I prowled close to the beast but he heard me just before I could make my attack. He turned and faced me. I took a few steps back. He charged but I stood my ground. He kept coming and just before he could reach me I jumped and landed on its back. The combined force of the landing and a little help from the Force itself broke its back. It was crippled. The beast fell to the ground with a thud and I fell off it. Quickly I cut the spinal cord and gathered all of its teeth and put them, still bloody, in a pouch on my utility belt.

I came back a heroine. I stayed there another two days to make the actual headdress. When I was done, the headdress was beautiful. Even the Togruta Leader said it was one of the best he'd seen made.

End of Flash back

But those times were gone. That was then and this was now. And now I had reached Shili. It looked just like I remembered, grassy and with forests. I landed on a plateau a bit away from a village. I didn't want to make my presence broadcasted to everyone. I walked to the village. I tried to remember my family and my time on Shili before I was taken to be a Jedi. I remembered being teased because I was adventurous and didn't play with all the other Togrutas. I remember saying good-bye to someone, my mother I think. Her face was a blur to me. I remember her crying but other than that I couldn't remember anything. What did my father look like? Was he nice? Did my mother still love me? It had not mattered to me then but now it was my only hope.

I came upon the village. It was simple. It was made up of various huts. The size and decorations of the hut signified the class of each Togruta. As I walked through the villages many of the Togrutas stared at me. To them I was weird because I was independent, one of the things I didn't like about my people. One of the children, a boy, pointed at me and I heard him whisper to his friend, "Ahsoka." Ah, so they knew. Then I realized that of course they knew me. They could tell who I was by my cut lekku. It had healed but it was still shorter than my other headtails. I continued my walk with my eyes directed down. I didn't want to look at them or even feel what they felt about my presence. I was tired of being hurt. I finally came upon the biggest and most elaborate designed hut, the home of the leader. I knocked hard at the door. His wife let me in as soon as she recognized me. She closed all the windows and the door so nobody could see in yet still some of the younger Togrutas tried to get in but she quickly shooed them away. I walked to where their leader was seated and bowed my slightly. I looked up. He was a middle aged Togruta with four headtails, a rarity for Togrutas. His face was almost completely white. He had an Akul Headdress and a belt also made of Akul teeth, sign of killing more than five Akuls. He had a very solemn expression and didn't look the least happy to see me.

He said, "I am Dramede Zans and you are the hunted Ahsoka Tano. Why have you come to us?"

"Dramede, please I've come because this is my only home I now have."

"Did you not think that by coming here, you have endangered all of us including your family?"

"I thought maybe I could blend in with the other Togruta and go back to living with my family like a regular member of the clan."

"Don't you see Ahsoka? You are marked. Your lekku defines you from all of us."

What he was saying was true but I needed a place to live. What could I do? There was moment of silence between us. I looked at him with pleading eyes. He turned head away as if he couldn't make up his mind. I sensed confusion and sympathy in him. He then looked back at me and spoke. His voice had softened a bit.

"You see Ahsoka, the reason I cannot let you stay is because if Darth Vader comes and he brings his forces, he will slaughter my people. It's a kill one and save a thousand case. I can't let all my people die just for you. I'm sorry Ahsoka, I really am. You were a hero to us."

I sensed then sensed fear, great fear. Then I realized why.

"He came here, didn't he? He threatened you too, didn't he? How dare he! I swear I will gut him like a gardarian dirt fish. Just tell me where he is."

"Ahsoka, your abilities serve you well but don't go after him. He is too powerful."

" I wouldn't be too sure. The Jedi used to be the most powerful force in the galaxy if you remember. We don't run. Now tell me where he is."

"He's in the village, in your family's hut but don't…."

I was already out of the hut and running through the village. Searching for him. I couldn't believe I hadn't felt it before. I had been so stupid. It was like a feel of fire. It felt stronger and stronger as I neared it. It finally lead to a small hut with many decorations. I carefully ignited my lightsaber and stepped in and to my shock, I not only saw Darth Vader but also he was hold an elder Togruta woman with his lightsaber to her neck. I saw a male and a young boy being held by some storm troopers.

"Took you long enough to get here, Ahsoka. Well in your absence I decided to get acquainted with your family."

"Family?"

"Ah, I forgot you don't know them do you? Now tell me would like to meet them here or in the next world?" He taunted.

"Let them go, Vader. You know who you want and it's not them. Now come and fight like a real opponent instead of using my family as bait."

"You are so foolish, Ahsoka. You are in no position to make demands or tell me what to do. Surrender to me or I kill your family. And I won't kill them quickly."

He them shoved my mother to the ground. I couldn't go to help her up in fear of him killing me when I was most vulnerable. He told the trooper who held the boy to let him go. The trooper followed the command and stepped back. Vader then began to force choke him. My mother began screaming and crying. My father shouted at me to do something. I came at Vader with my lightsaber but he force flung me to a wall. Was I that weak? There wasn't much time until the boy would be dead. I got up.

"Stop! Okay I surrender, just let the boy go!"

"I knew you would agree."

He dropped the boy and my mother rushed to him. He was gasping for air. I immediately felt guilty for even coming to Shili. I was so stupid. What had I done?

"Monster!" My mother yelled.

Although my mother couldn't see Vader face, I knew he was glaring at her. Vader came over to me and slapped me on the face. I was a bit shocked but I stood my ground and looked him straight in the face that is if you could call it a face.

"I will not kill you yet, Ahsoka. I will just do everything to you that the Jedi have done to me."

"The Jedi did nothing to you! You MONSTER!" I yelled.

I again ignited my lightsaber and struck at him. He turned his lightsaber on and parried my blow but instead of coming back to make his move, he yanked my mom up by her headtail and put the lightsaber near her neck again, close enough to burn her neck. Tears were in her eyes.

"Turn off your lightsaber and give it to me or she dies."

He yanked harder on her headtail. She whimpered. I reluctantly turned off my lightsaber and gave it to him.

"Good. Now go with my troopers and don't try anything or else she dies."

I reluctantly went with the troopers. They put binders on my wrists and lead my to an Imperial Shuttle and put me in a prisoner cell. I remained silent the entire time they did this.

To my horror, they also went back to the hut and brought my family. I yelled at Darth Vader.

"Darth, What are you doing? You said you wouldn't hurt them. I'm the one you have a grudge against. You can do whatever you like to me, just don't take or hurt them."

Vader looked at me and said, " I said I wouldn't kill them, at the moment. I never said I wouldn't hurt them or take them. I said I would do everything you traitors have done to me so that means I have to use the only people you have to love and love you."

With that he left me think about what was to come. In my heart, I knew he was going to do the worst possible thing to hurt me. Now I knew why the Jedi didn't allow attachments. To lose someone you love is worst than death. I looked at my family.

What Have I Done?

I hope y'all liked it. It's not the best, I know but I promise the next chapter will be better.
