Chapter 8- Rejoining a friend

Hello there, so so so sorry this is late in the day. Here is chapter 8 and expect chapters 9 and 10 up later today. Along with Chapter 2 of Anger, Fear, Hate, Forbidden which is the story of Aria and Vertia. Hope you enjoy. Oh and there is a clone wars reference in this, and its pretty obvious so I'm going to put this-

Note: I do not own Star Wars: The Clone Wars, that is owned by Disney and Lucasfilms along with Star Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

Ahsoka walked with the clones without a fight. The trooper standing next to her resembled someone from the clone wars, someone she hadn't seen since she left. She glanced at him.

"I asked you before but you didn't answer, so I'll ask again, why did you join the empire? You're taking innocent lives!"

"You don't get to ask questions, prisoner."

Ahsoka growled before struggling with the troopers. They tried to keep their grip on her but before they could she jumped over her arms so they were no longer behind her back. She grabbed her lightsaber and tried to cut herself free. Before she could they began firing at her. She dodged the blasts but was unable to fight back. The first trooper held up his hand and they both stopped.

"Surrender or you will be sent back to your cell dead!"

Ahsoka smirked before cutting herself free, "I don't think so."

She ran at one of the troopers. He ducked startled. She jumped over him and stuck her lightsaber through his chest. He fell to the ground. She grabbed his gun and shot at the other one. He fell to the ground stunted. She clipped her lightsaber to her belt and dropped the gun. As she was about to try and find the others she sensed something wrong. Someone's connection had just snapped, meaning someone was dead. She turned towards the direction the signature was from and ran in the direction.

Ahsoka ran into the room to find it filled with grief. She looked around the noticed the young Padawan, Ezra, in restraints and limp. She noticed Kanan and Hera, standing right in front of him and looking the saddest. There was a whole in Ezra's chest and Kanan's lightsaber was on the ground. Quickly she put two and two together.

"No…" She looked from the Jedi to the Padawan before turning and walking out of the room in shock. She faced the wall and just imagined what had happened to cause the Jedi to kill his own defenseless Padawan.

"Snips?" A voice called behind her. It sounded like her master, the way he had been known years ago, in the clone wars. She turned and sure enough her master was standing there, not in all his armor but as a Jedi Knight.

"Ma-master?" She asked in disbelief.

"Snips listen to me, Darth Vader has a plan to tear your group apart. You and your friends need to get out of here before he does," As he finished he started to vanish.

"Master? Master! Anakin wait!" He was gone, but the warning stuck in her head. She began to wonder what he could have met before there was a loud bang from inside the room. Out of instinct Ahsoka ran back into the room. Kanan walked towards her, his lightsaber was up against the wall in the two bits it could split into.

"What are you doing? That weapon is your life!"

Kanan glared at Ahsoka, seeming to be trying to hide his grief, "What does it look like? I'm giving up the life that got my son killed!" He pushed past Ahsoka.

Ahsoka looked at the rest of the group, all of them seemed shocked at Kanan's behavior. Hera had moved towards the pieces of Kanan's lightsaber and picked them up. She turned towards the door and began to walk to it. Ahsoka stopped her when she reached the door.

"Hera, we need to let him calm down. Give me the lightsaber and I'll give them to you to give back to him later."

Hera gave her the lightsaber but tried to get pasted her again, "Ahsoka let me through, I need to talk to him."

Ahsoka could feel the worry flowing off Hera. She sighed before she let her through. As the door closed Aria and Vertia called Ahsoka over.

"Did you feel the hate off Kanan?" Aria looked worried.

"He was drowning in it!" Vertia finished.

"I hope he knows to control it as well as I think he does," Ahsoka said well looking towards the door.

"Kanan what's going on?" Hera asked quietly.

He met her gaze, fear in his eyes, "Hera please go back with the others. I don't want to risk hurting you to," He pleaded.

"You need someone to help you."

"I killed one person close to me, I don't want to risk hurting you to!"

"Didn't you say Jedi Code forbid fear?"

"Fine you win, what do you want to talk about?"

"You throwing your lightsaber away, storming out of the room, saying you aren't going to be a Jedi anymore, you disobeying your code to fall to fear," Hera was cut off by the sound of marching.

"Hera get back with the others, tell them we have company!"

Hera stood where she was, "I won't leave you alone."

Storm Troopers appeared from around the corner.

"Hera!" Kanan yelled.

She hesitated before dashing into the room.

"Isn't that just like a Jedi, saving his loved ones before him," One of the troopers pointed at the door. A cluster of the troopers walked towards it. The others began to shoot at the unarmed Jedi.

Not going to say anything but next chapter is another you will hate me chapter. Bye.
