First to reply to reviews.
CountMallet: I am planning on doing another Anakin chapter to add some more on. And thank you for the idea.
Guest: I'm planning on doing the younglings in a few chapters.
And sorry it took a while to post I've been away in Scotland and there was no internet connection in the middle of no where. Only sheep and red deer.
Plo Koon's POV
"I'm not coming back."
I hadn't been there to watch my. 'Lil 'Soka walk away. I could feel her upset pouring through the force as she walked away. Her thoughts betrayed by her anger and upset as she struggled to cope with what she was walking away from and unable to do the one the thing she was always taught. Keep up your mental shields or they will know.
Now I could feel everything in her mind and it broke my heart. She threw away what she had known for all of the right reasons but her anger and upset towards myself more than the rest of the council mad me angry with myself and them. We had let her go without a fight and had even expelled her from the order at someone's else's command. We couldn't protect our own.
I hadn't tried to protect her. I had stayed silent even though I knew that I should have but the evidence was against her. I couldn't argue with the facts presented to me. I had betrayed my 'lil 'Soka and I payed. I payed for all that I had done to her and not done.
She was gone and I hadn't said goodbye. I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her before she had left and now I didn't know where she was. She was very good at hiding, always had been.
Ahsoka clambered into the ventilation shaft. Her arm stinging and in pain as she clutched it to her chest. She was trying not to cry from the pain radiating through her body. Using the force she pulled the grate back over the closing. She wiggled along the the shaft a bit more. Her leku swinging passed her cheeks and being dampened by her tears.
It had taken three hours before they had found her, asleep in there clutching a broken and bruised arm and whimpering in her slumber. I had found her when I had been called out of a council meeting. The Jedi teaching her had called after the first two hours looking for her.
I immediately rushed to help find her and quickly did so. She was rushed to the med bay. This wasn't the first time she had hidden after being hurt. Or the last. She always kept hiding wether it was if she was hurt or ill or hiding away from the teachers and healers.
And now she was hurting emotionally and I couldn't find her. She hid herself from me. She had never done that before, she had always been so open with me.
The sparks of emotion that she caused to spread throughout the temple retreated with her, darkening the atmosphere and hearts of those who had ever met her. She removed the sparks and removed the light she always gave out.
