We are coming close to the end of Ahsoka's torture my readers. Disclaimer- I don't own Star Wars the Clone Wars or any of its characters.


Chapter 8

General Grievous POV

Ahsoka Tano would tell General Grievous what he wanted to know. He didn't care how long it took; he would get her to talk.

He saw her losing more and more of her sanity each day. You can only stay so sane when your locked up in a room all day hallucinating the person you trust most. And he loved that she was falling apart so hard.

Grievous always wanted to take Skywalker's Padawan and no other. He wanted to ruin the Jedi Knight. And he loved seeing the strong girl break in the months she'd been captive. He wanted to crush her until she was absolutely nothing, then and only then would he get the information out of her.

So far, the plan was going well. The General heard her talking to her Master (that wasn't actually there) in the room, and it made him smile knowing she was already so far lost into her own mind.

Part of him wanted to kill her once she'd given up all the information she had. But another part of him wanted to send her back to the Republic, gift wrapped and all with a letter to Anakin Skywalker. General Grievous had broken his precious little Padawan to pieces and he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't put her back together. He didn't even know she was still alive.


Ahsoka POV

"You need to tell him what he wants to know Snips." Anak-Fake Anakin said. Because he was fake. Right. He wasn't real. This wasn't real Anakin. He was just the drugs playing around with Ahsoka's mind.

"Never." She growled at the illusion.

"You need to! It's the right thing. I thought that's what Jedi stand for. I guess that's just not you anymore Ahsoka."

"You're wrong," her temper rose as she yelled at Fake Anakin from across the small room. "I am doing this for the Republic. I am doing this for you. The real you." Then off to the side she muttered, "The one that doesn't know I'm alive."

"This is the real me!" he insisted. "I can't believe it. After everything, you can't see that it's me!" He let out a breath and looked at the ground. When he looked back up there was anger in his eyes. "You need to give in. Tell General Grievous what he wants to know!"

"No! You're not real! The real Anakin would want me to stay strong! He would want me to hold on."

This brought out a strong topic in Fake Anakin. His voice had purpose in it, "Until what? Until you're broken beyond repair? That point will come, Ahsoka. You can't hold out forever. And when you are broken, you won't be able to be put back together again."

He had a point. Ahsoka had to admit that there was truth in what he said. What was she supposed to do? No one can resist torture forever. And if she does resist for long enough, won't the General just give up and kill her? There's no way she's making her way out of this alive. That wasn't a possibility.

"See! You're getting it Ahsoka! Now tell General Grievous!" Fake Anakin smiled at the thought of getting through to her. "Tell him everything, our battle plans, our schedules, our bases, everything!"

It's sad to say that Ahsoka actually thought about it for a second, but she came to a good conclusion.

"No." She shook her head. "I can't. Because I'm going to escape this place, and when I do I won't be a traitor. I'll be a hero."

Anakin shook his head too, his eyes were full of anger. He walked right up to the girl who was wary on her feet and struck her across the face.

Ahsoka fell to the ground instantly in shock. It hurt, but not as bad as everything else she'd experienced in the time she'd been captive. She was just startled at what happened. He hit her.

"You idiot! You can't even do the right thing! How could I ever be proud of a disappointment like you!"

The young girl couldn't even look up to meet his yells. She just stared at the ground in defeat. The next time she looked up, he was gone and Ahsoka was left alone to cry herself to sleep.


Anakin visited her hallucinations a lot. But occasionally other people would stop by to mess up Ahsoka's mind too. Sometimes Plo Koon would stop by to tell her that she was a disappointment and that he never should've brought her to the Jedi Order (this was usually followed by him telling her that she was a waste of time and doesn't deserve to be a Jedi). Other times Master Yoda or Master Windu would drop in to tell her that she was a complete child and would never be good enough to be a Jedi Knight.

The worst part was that Ahsoka started to believe everything they said. The more doses of that blue serum she was given, the worse the hallucinations were. After a while, they just seemed so real and Ahsoka was so confused. Her mind was somewhere else, but she thought that this must be what everyone thought of her; why else would they be saying it to her?

She didn't know how she was still able to refuse talking to General Grievous every day. She was worthless. No one had come for her. No one was coming. She was alone. And she was a failure.

Most of the time her mirages liked to push her around. Anakin would tell her again and again to talk to General Grievous and when she says no he hits her or throws her against the wall. One time Master Luminara Unduli and Master Shak Ti came and beat Ahsoka up until she was curled up on the ground coughing blood.

Ahsoka was pretty sure the goal was to get her to give up on the Jedi Order. And that's why she had yet to give in. She could never give up on the Order, no matter how corrupted or flawed it may be. There was still a good purpose, and she would always stand for that.

Beyond that, the girl was almost completely broken. Her screams were the most common thing in the world to her now.


In the next few days (maybe it was days, keeping track of time was difficult when you're in a place with no natural light) there was a new addition to the trio. General Grievous was gone on what Ahsoka assumed to be a Separatist attack and Fowar had an assistant.

She was a Cathar named Giya, and she had a soul. Unlike Fowar and General Grievous, this girl was compassionate and her eyes screamed pity whenever she saw Ahsoka.

All Ahsoka could wonder was why this girl was here. She's a sweet, pretty, and smart girl that was torturing a Jedi Padawan for information. That didn't quite seem right.

So one day when Ahsoka was in her daily probing Fowar left to clean his knives covered in her blood and she saw her chance to question Giya.

"Giya right?" She started off simple, building her way up. Ahsoka didn't get that many real conversations anymore so she wasn't going to take advantage of this one.

"Yes," she said strictly organizing something in the fridge, but Ahsoka saw right through her stern voice to the compassion hidden in it.

"Where are you from?" Ahsoka wasn't really sure how this conversation was going to go, but she prayed it would go somewhere. She was lonely, only able to talk to her hallucinations and all.

Giya closed the fridge door and walked over to the drip leading into Ahsoka's arm. While she was adjusting a few things she said, "I was born and raised on Coruscant."

Ahsoka gave a small laugh, something she hadn't done in a long time. "So how'd you end up here?"

Giya didn't answer. She just straightened up the table of medical instruments and changed the topic. "Where are you from?"

"Shili," Ahsoka tried to shrug but she was too weak. "It's nothing too exciting." Oh on the contrary.

"I hear you have strange ways there." Obviously this girl wanted a real conversation just as much as Ahsoka or else why would she even be talking to the captive girl?

Anyway, Ahsoka wasn't going to let a good conversation go unattended to. "Eh, the whole carnivore concept is a thing in the past. Yes, we were hunters, but we advance just like anyone else. Everything's pretty much average beyond that…except we get married pretty young and age rules are changed up, but yeah, normal beyond that."

She could've sworn Giya grinned at that, but it was hidden by what she said next. "Yeah, well you know what Coruscant is like, some people are nice, others are weird, and then there're muggers who jump you in an ally and give you a black eye. It's a planet full of people who are completely different."

Ahsoka full on laughed at that, because it really was Coruscant in a nutshell. "That's very true. Although, I'd take a black eye over the situation I'm in right now any day."

She regretted the words the minute they came out of her mouth. Because then Giya didn't talk for the rest of the time that they were alone. And Ahsoka really liked the conversation while they had it. It was too bad that she ruined it.

'I ruin everything,' she couldn't help but think.
