"Master, I still think we should go down the tunnel." Ahsoka called to Anakin as she pointed down the left-hand tunnel. Anakin frowned, and shook his head.
"No, our orders were to wait here and wait for backup. We can't blow the mission now. We need to keep waiting." Ahsoka didn't like his answer, and looked down the tunnel again.
"Master, General Grievous is getting farther and farther away. We need to follow him." Ahsoka was getting even more impatient than she was to begin with. Anakin glared at Ahsoka, who lapsed into a sulky silence. When he turned back to his post, Ahsoka looked up at him, and then tiptoed off into the tunnel. Nearly five minutes passed before Anakin turned to ask Ahsoka a question, and realized she had gone. Knowing precisely where the foolhardy girl had gone, Anakin took off running down the tunnel, muttering under his breath about how stupid his Padawan was. It quickly grew dark in the tunnel, so Anakin reached out with the Force, finding things that lay scattered in his path. One such thing was quite large, and as he leaned back to leap over it, something made him stop. Leaning over the figure, he ignited his lightsabre to get a better view of it. It was Ahsoka. And she wasn't breathing. Anakin's frowned as he tried to decide what to do next. Knowing what Ahsoka would do, he picked her limp body up and walked back towards the opening of the tunnel. Ahsoka was getting heavier and heavier, and Anakin despaired of ever reaching the entrance before collapsing when the tunnel started to become lighter. He started to jog, and slowly but surely reached the end of the tunnel. When he got there, he laid Ahsoka down on the ground, and knelt over her. Leaning over her chest, there was a faint heartbeat. Searching her body, there was no sign of what Grievous had done to her. Anakin quickly turned on his comlink to try and contact the troops who were supposed to meet them, but they were out of range. All he could do was wait for assistance, and that was not going to be easy. Anakin paced back and forth across the ground beside Ahsoka. When the two ships containing troops finally arrived, Anakin sent half of them after General Grievous, and took the other half with him. They took the cruiser and sped as quickly as possible towards Courascant. When they got there, Anakin scooped up Ahsoka and as he had rested on the way over, ran towards the nearest medical center. When he got there, he didn't bother with the formalities, and rushed straight to where he knew medical droids would be. Gently laying Ahsoka on the table, Anakin stood up straight.
"It's Ahsoka. I don't know what happened to her. Please, find out what's wrong." As he couldn't stand to watch, Anakin left the room and sat down in the nearest chair.
Please review… One of my first Star Wars stories, but I don't really count the other one as official. : )
