With having few recruits, Ahsoka decides to throw in a suggestion. She knows someone who can be of assistance: Captain Rex. His name is not mentioned, however, she warns Kanan to "trust him" because the Clones are the ones who killed the Jedi. Along with Anakin, Ahsoka's former master. It's a heavy thought.

Once Ahsoka shuts the doors, she enters the room where I'm waiting for her. I feel anxiety arise from the pit of my stomach to my chest making it hard for me to breathe. What are we going to do? Where are we going? "Relax, take a deep breath." Ahsoka said calmly. I follow her instructions and feel a little relaxed.

"What now?" I asked.

"We're going to Lothal." She answered.

"Why? It's crawling with Storm Troopers!" I freaked.

"That's why we stole an Imperial ship. Once past the blockade, we'll head to what appears to be 'nowhere'. In that sector is a hidden Jedi Temple." She explained.

"Wow, really!? What are we going to do there?" I asked.

"Look for answers, the Force will guide us. Let's go." She concluded.

"I like your style." I said following her.

What answers is the question that pondered me, but I didn't ask. I'm guessing answers for the Sith Lord we encountered. If she finds out a deeper truth sorrow and guilt for leaving will weigh on her. I'm not ready for that kind of pain to stab us through the heart. Ahsoka and I are one, when she hurts I hurt. We're not married, just close friends and they can be one as well.

We take an Imperial Shuttle to Lothal as a "Trogon Horse" to get past the blockade. Once in hyperspace, I take the time to talk with Ahsoka about our mission. I hesitate for a moment thinking the words won't come out right, but I try anyway.

"Ahsoka, you're not okay are you?" I asked.

"What makes you think that?" She asked.

"You seem down, looking for answers but to what?" I wondered.

"You'll see." She said smiling.

"You're impossible." I said a bit angry.

That didn't go as well as I hoped, but I can tell she's not okay. You can see it in her eyes. When we reach Lothal Star Destroyers block our path.

"You have reached Lothal, an Imperial controlled system. Identify yourself." Said a man's voice.

"My friend and I were just stopping by for a visit. We won't cause you any trouble." I said trying not to sound suspicious.

Ahsoka face palmed thinking this isn't going to work. A few moments later we are given the okay to pass through. I give her a thumbs up and she shakes her head "no" in a joking matter. We pass through the blockade and land just outside the city.

"You're lucky we got through." Ahsoka said leaving her seat.

"Lucky? I call it skill." I said somewhat boastful.

"Funny, I thought you said you didn't have skill." She said opening the door.

"That was years ago. I've changed." I said posing like Sonic the Hedgehog.

We walk outside onto the dry land seeing miles of it ahead. Knowing full well I can't walk miles without falling to my knees made me lose my confidence. I may have changed, but I still get discouraged and hurt.

"Ugh! It will take FOREVER to get there!" I wined.

"Relax, that's why we have THIS!" Ahsoka said pulling out a speeder with a side car.

"Thank God! I call side car!" I said happily jumping in it.

"Hang on." She warned starting it.

My body falls back to the seat and I hold on for dear life. With my glasses on my eyes remained protected from the wind. Ahsoka doesn't need them because she's cool without them. It was quite a fun ride even though I panicked at the start. Being with my best friend in the galaxy far, far away felt amazing: I felt like I could do anything!

When we came to a halt, I flung forward a little but held on the sides of the speeder. "Warn me when we come to a stop." I said crossing my arms. We exit the speeder and walk about 5 feet away from it. A huge bolder stood before us which is probably the Jedi Temple.

"Here it is. Focus the Force on this bolder and imagine a temple." Ahsoka instructed.

"Me as well? I can't use the Force!" I freaked.

"You about choked Tarkin using your anger, but this time relax and allow the Force to flow freely." She said reaching her hand out to the rock.

I reach my hand out as well and relax my mind and body. Hearing the bolder move made me think we had this, but sudden tight feelings form in the pit of my stomach again and flow throughout my body. I take a deep breath and as the air leaves my mouth so does my anxiety. The temple starts taking shape and before we know it we're done.

"Wow! That was amazing." I said chuckling.

"Follow me." Ahsoka said taking my hand.

We walk inside the temple with no doors except for the entrance/exit depending on where you stand. Jedi statues are lined up single file on the left and right with their sabers held up. The place looks old seeing the walls are chipped and cracked. Strange however it feels this temple holds wandering forces of light and dark.

"There are no doors! How do we look for answers?" I asked.

"We meditate and the Force will open a way specifically for us." Ahsoka said getting on her knees.

"Okay." I said kneeling beside her.

With our eyes closed I feel a breeze flow through me as if it touched my soul. This got me nervous thinking if I'm doing the right thing or not. But I had no other options so I just focused every part of my being to be open to whatever comes. I hear cries of despair echo in the room as well as evil voices plotting pain and suffering upon someone. Old scars begin to ache in my heart telling me maybe I haven't changed.

Suddenly I hear a door open so I open my eyes and see a path. "Ahsoka look! A path way!" I said nudging her. "Where? I don't see it." She said looking around. Curious, the path may be for me only. "I'm going, see you later." I said running into the dark path. Running through the dark hall seemed endless with no light at the end.

"Dang! I could be wandering in the dark forever." I said frustrated.

"You have child." A dark voice said.

"Who's there?" I asked trying to sound brave.

A black hooded figure with a torch appeared out of the shadows. It looked like the Grim Reaper, but he didn't have a scythe so it wasn't him. Still I felt frightened as he approached me.

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" He asked.

"I'd say so!" I said shivering.

"The terrible fate is with her!" He angrily said.

"What!? What do you mean?" I asked.

"That scar upon your heart is a death seal! When she goes, you go!" He said pointing his skeleton finger at me.

My heart stopped. That dagger Dark Ahsoka threw in me was a death seal the whole time. Not the weapon itself, but the scar it left on my heart. It all makes since now!

"You can't escape your fate child! Death is coming for you!" The cloaked skeleton said disappearing.

"Wait! How can I..oh." I sighed.

I fall to my knees and cry. Deep down I knew this was coming, but I thought it wasn't real. I wish it wasn't. My fate it sealed and scars can't heal. Meanwhile, Ahsoka is still meditating for answers on Darth Vader. She hears his breathing and looks around for him but nothing until a red saber turns on from behind. She gets up and sees Vader face to face.

"You will pay for betraying me." He said in that deep voice.

"I never betrayed you! The Jedi are the ones who betrayed me." Ahsoka cried.

"It's of no concern to me, I destroyed them." He said holding his saber close.

Ahsoka's face turns sad then serious. Vader grabs her by the neck and brings her close.

"If you tell me where the remaining Jedi are I may spare your pathetic life." He said bring his saber close to her.

"There are no other Jedi! You and your master have seen to that." She said struggling.

"Then you will die with the rest!"

Vader runs his saber through Ahsoka's chest and she wakes up from her meditation alive. But panicked and unaware of me she falls to pieces on the floor. I'm still wandering in the dark trying to escape. My friend is breaking from that strange vision and I'm lost with nowhere to go. Two great scenarios! Which one would you choose?

"Hello!" I yelled. "Is there anyone there?"

Two torches light up revealing a double doorway. I carefully reach for a nob and slowly turn it. It could be a trap or my way out. When I peek inside I see a throne of darkness indicating it might be a trap. Next move: spring the trap. As I walk in I see more old walls cracked and something different: smoke. A shadow zips by me all around then stops in front of me. The hood comes off and reveals itself as Dark Ahsoka.

"You! What do you want?" I asked.

"Now there's no need to be adversaries. I want to help you." She said petting a side of my face.

"Don't touch me!" I snapped.

"If you cooperate I may be able to break the curse upon you." She said with a wicked smile.

"How?" I asked.

"Follow me." She said heading to the staircase.

I get a sick feeling, but there seems to be no other way around it. What could break this "curse"? Is it suicide? A ritual? What could it be?
