Chapter 4

First Comes Betrayal Then Comes Love And Betrayal Again

Lux POV

I shoved the girl away and ran toward where Ahsoka had last been. I managed to see her crouching behind a nearby dumpster and sprinted toward her.

As soon as she saw me she tried to run but I grabbed her by the wrist and forced her to look at me.

"Let go Lux!" she screamed desperately, but I wouldn't let go until I talked to her.

"Ahsoka quit trying to escape. I just want to talk!" I said as she even tried to bite me to make me let her go.

"What do you want to talk about then, huh? How you found yourself a new girlfriend and broke my heart to tiny little pieces?" she yelled, still crying.

"What?" I asked, finally releasing my grip on Ahsoka.

"I'm in love with you Lux! I have been for quite some time now! But you betrayed me and betrayal hurts!" she admitted.

I just stood there dumbstruck as she ran off. She loves me? I wish I had known earlier! Then I would've held her and kissed her and wiped her tears off her face whenever she cried. But like she said, I betrayed her.

"I love you too, Ahsoka," I said. "I love you too.

Ahsoka POV

I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Some kind of hooker and Lux attached at the mouth.

Then I just had to open my big mouth again and tell Lux how I felt about him. I mean he obviously has a new girlfriend so why tell him something he probably wouldn't even care about!

I then decided to take my mind off of Lux because I needed to plan for the mission tomorrow.

I was in the middle of packing when I heard a loud knock at my door.

When I answered, it was none other than .

"What do you want?" I asked, trying to sound mad.

"I want to explain what happened," Lux said sounding as if he had a lot regret.

"Well I know what happened. You found another girl and decided that you don't love me and made out with her," I answered, feeling my blood boil.

"What? No! That's not what happened!" he said and then he explained it to me.

"Oh, so she kissed you?" I asked, now feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah, and Ahsoka I want you to know I feel the same way that you feel about me," he said, sitting down on my couch.

I moved over to the couch and sat down next to him and asked," You do?"

"I do," he said then he leaned in close and pressed his lips to mine.

I always knew there was a part of me missing before I met him and he had awakened it. I kissed him back, our lips moving slowly together.

I reached up ran my fingers through his hair, something I had wanted to do since the day I had met him. It felt soft and silky.

"I love you," he said, and he cradled me in his arms.

I fell asleep.

Lux POV

I wasn't sure what time I had fallen asleep but when I woke and saw the time I almost panicked.

"Ahsoka, get up! We're late! It's almost twelve o'clock!" I told her.

She sat up immediately and said ,"Please tell me you have your bags packed!"

I nodded and she said ,"Alright, help me finish packing and we'll stop by your place and grab your bags!"

In a matter of minutes we had all of our bags and made just in time to see Skywalker waiting for us.

"About time you two got here!" he said, looking at both of us as if he knew about the fight and the kiss."Anyway let's get this show on the road and rescue some senators!"

Anakin POV

When I finally saw Lux and Ahsoka, I knew something was up.

They both look like crap, but Ahsoka looks happier than I've ever seen her. Lux too, even though I've only known him for a few days.

I decided not to put much thought into it right now considering that we had a mission to do.

And if you know me I prefer to get the mission done first and ask questions later.

Ahsoka POV

Once we were on board the Twilight, we flew up to the Resolute to join the rest of the fleet and get ready for the jump to Felucia.

Now I know what you're thinking. What would Separatists be doing on a Republic planet. Well recently, the droid army launched an attack on Felucia and managed to take control of the Eastern part of the planet, so now they were keeping heavily armed bases on Felucia to keep prisoners of war and hostages there.

And now me, Lux, and Master were going to try to rescue one of the Republic's most important senators and her advisors from the most heavily armed base on Felucia. Sounds easy, right?

"Ahsoka, are you listening to us at all?" Master suddenly asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Sorry Master, just thinking about the mission," I answered, my lekku turning a dark shade of blue.

"Okay then, but make sure to pay attention now. If this mission is going to be successful we all need to be on the same page," he reminded me.

"Yes Master. So what are we talking about?" I replied, ready to come back to reality.

"We are discussing how we are going to transport the hostages back to the Resolute when we finally have them out of prison and ready to get out of there," Rex answered, sounding compassionate toward me, as if he would take a bullet for me.

Hmm… does Rex have a crush on me? I mean, he always sounds like that when I'm around, as if he always brightens up when I'm around. Oh well, it doesn't matter now that I'm with Lux.

"Well, maybe if some of the clones could sneak into the prison and cause a distraction, we could call for a gunship and load the hostages at a rendezvous point," Lux immediately said to Rex, seeing the Rex was looking at me.

Ah men! Always thinking that women are their property that need to be protected.

"Great plan, Lux! Okay, so while Rex's men are causing the distraction, we get on the transport and leave the base. Well I guess that's all we have to talk about right now. All of you are dismissed," Master concluded, as he started to get up.

Everyone left the room except for me, Lux, and Rex. "Hey, Ahsoka can I talk to you for a minute… alone?" Rex asked, the last word directed at Lux, who stood there, his eyes trained on Rex as if he was fixing to pull out a blaster and shoot Rex in the head until he was satisfied.

"Um… I guess. Lux don't worry I'll be fine. Please," I said reluctantly, my back turned to Rex, who must've smirked because Lux's glare deepened.

"Fine," Lux said gruffly, and stalked out of the room.

"Alright, Rex. What do you want to talk about?" I asked, hoping this would be quick so I could get back to Lux.

"Listen, Ahsoka. I've known you for a long time now, and since the first day I ever met you, I've loved you more than anything and if you'll let m-"

"Rex, I'm flattered and all but I'm in love with someone else, okay," I replied, trying to sound as nice as I could.

On the other hand though Rex looked like he could explode at any minute.

"It's that Bonteri kid isn't it? Ahsoka, I could give you more than he ever could! I mean, he's a Separatist! One of those scum we're fighting against!" Rex yelled, angrier than I had ever seen him.

"Lux isn't one of them anymore! He renounced them for me! And I don't think that you would leave the army for me Rex!" I replied, feeling my blood boil as it had when me and Lux had been arguing the night before.

"Yes, but how long will take for you to realize you can't have both worlds!" Rex said, making me confused.

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked, my voice now lowered to a whisper.

"You can't be with Lux and stay in the Jedi Order. You can't have it both ways," Rex said, then took a step closer to me. "But you wouldn't need to leave the Order for me. I mean think about it. We could both fight side by side and when the war is over, I could leave the army and live on Coruscant with you."

He then did something I didn't expect until the last second. He kissed me.

But the second he did, Lux stepped into the room, took a look at both of us, and yelled," Ahsoka Tano!"

I shoved Rex away and said," Lux it's not what it looks like!" hoping he would believe me. But he didn't.

"Ahsoka, if this is your way of getting back at me for kissing that girl on Coruscant then, congratulations! You've done it!" he said, turning away from me.

"Lux, please!" I yelled, in one last desperate attempt to stop him from leaving.

"No! You know what, Ahsoka! We're through!" he yelled.

Then he left. Tears started to roll down my face.

When I turned around though, Rex just stood there, smirking.

"You! This is your fault!" I yelled, more angry than I've ever felt.

"Ahsoka, he means nothing to you. And now it's pretty obvious how he feels about you now," Rex replied, looking very happy.

Right then and there, I walked right up to Rex and punched him as hard as I could in the nose. And me, being part of a very carnivorous race whose natural instinct was to fight, was pretty hard.

I heard something crack and I assumed it was either Rex's face or one of my knuckles.

Looking at Rex and my hand though, it was probably both.

Before Rex could yell at me or anything else, I ran out of the war room, past my Master and a bunch of clones, and into my room.

When I got there, I sat on my bed and cried, knowing how Lux felt when I said he had betrayed me.

It felt terrible.
