A/N: Hello,

My name is Katia, and my friend Cassi and I collaborated on this story. It is the second book in the Darth Maleficent series. We decided that we couldn't just end it at "Return of the Padawan."

Thank You Cassi! You are the BEST FRIEND EVER and an AWESOME writer!

Without any further ado, Chapter Six! again, I want to thank Cassi (Casscat) for her wonderful contributions!

Ahsoka and Adeline, quieter than womp rats, crept through the basements of Jabba's palace. It was quite revolting, with many creatures (to be sympathized with) in cells, rotting away the rest of their lives. Both of their lightsabers were ignited, although Ahsoka was carrying Adeline's while the Angel searched deep in the Force for her sister.

"How far do you think we have to go?" The Togruta asked her friend.

Adeline answered without opening her eyes. "It would be best not to think about it, Ahsoka."

The Togruta sighed. "Okay. Hey, Adeline, what's going on between you and Master Kenobi?"

The Angel began to laugh, "Now, that's also a forbidden subject!"

Ahsoka put on her puppy-dog eyes, and fluttered her eyebrows. "Please?"

Adeline kept laughing. "Oh, all right! You're as bad as I am around Obi-Wan. Well, you saw us kind of... flirting... during the mission to save you and your Master, right?"

Ahsoka's face was consumed with sadness at the mention of Anakin, but nodded and managed to get her snippiness back. "Uh, did anyone NOT notice?"

Adeline laughed again, glad of Ahsoka's high spirits. "Well, he rescued me from a sandstorm, and took me home. He told me all about your Master's fall, Ahsoka, and Senator Amidala's death. I am so sorry."

Ahsoka began to cry lightly, and Adeline put her arm around the girl. "You're only fourteen, Ahsoka. This can't be easy on you, having to act older than you really are."

Ahsoka nodded, and suddenly buried her face in Adeline's tunic, weeping. Adeline put her arms around the girl, and whispered, "I'll always be there for you, Ahsoka. Don't worry."

Ahsoka managed to get herself together after about three minutes. "Master Nirvana?" She asked softly.

Adeline turned to look at her. "Yes, Ahsoka?"

The Togruta blushed fire-engine red again. "M-may I call you... Aunt Adeline?"

The Angel laughed. "Of course, Ahsoka!"

Ahsoka hugged the Angel, catching her off guard. "Thank you!" She cried.

Adeline smiled. "You want to hear the rest of the story?"

The girl laughed. "Sure!"

"Well, I got mad at him. I can't remember what for, but I did, and I slammed the door- of his room, mind you,- and stayed there for about two hours. Eventually, he came in, and tried to cheer me up. I told him about Sadira, and then I just kissed him. It just... happened."

Ahsoka smiled. "I think it's a great story!"

Adeline blushed. "Thanks! Whoa, wait, there's someone out here!" The Nubian Angel drew her lightsaber, as did Ahsoka. "Here's where the fun begins!" She shouted, getting ready for whatever was coming.

Out of the darkness came... a womp rat, looking at them with big eyes. Both girls started laughing. Just then, Adeline felt a hand on her shoulder and whirled around. A dark looking man was standing there, a knife held in his hand, which he held about an inch from Addie's neck.

"Don't run, don't scream, don't try to fight, and I won't hurt you." He growled.

"Let us go." Adeline tried a mind trick.

"Nice try, but that's not going to work." The man said, grinning, "You're a pretty one, aren't you?"

"Get away from me!" Adeline said, swiping away his hand.

"And feisty too." The man laughed wickedly, "You'll be coming with me."

"What army is going to make us?" Ahsoka challenged.

Several other warriors stepped toward them and the leader smirked, "Does that answer your question?" Then addressing his men, he said, "We'll take them to Maleficent. He was right, capture the younger and the elder walks right to you."

Adeline realized too late the whole thing was a trap: a trap for her. It was her fault if Sadira was hurt. It was her fault Obi-Wan was hurt. Her fault... all her fault.
