Anakin was still by the crack when Isha came in, he couldn't find the strength to pull himself back to the other side. Isha looked a bit a surprised when she saw Anakin on almost the complete other side of the room but she didn't stay surprised for long, for she went up to Anakin and squatted down to Anakin's level so she could look him in the eye. Isha looked please that Anakin was having trouble breathing

"Do you remember what you did?" She asked. She said it calmly, and slowly, almost like a mother asking her child if they had eaten a cookie before dinner.

Anakin took a deep breath in before answering.

"No." He said defiantly. Isha grabbed him by the collar of his tunic and asked again.

"Do you remember what you did?"

And once again Anakin answered, "No."

Isha threw Anakin against the wall and pulled out what looked like a blaster. She aimed it at Anakin's leg and asked again.

"I do not remember what I did." Anakin said, preparing for the worst. He braced himself, waiting for the blast. But it never came. Isha had a comlink-like in her pocket and it went off with a ring before someone started talking in a foreign language. Isha growled before hooking the blaster back to her belt and taking the comlink out of her pocket talking angrily in what Anakin assumed was the same foreign language. Isha looked really mad before turning the comlink off and going to turn away. Just before she shut the door she looked back at Anakin.

"I'll be back for you later." Then she slammed the door with a huge BOOM.

That was a close one

"Master?" Ahsoka said over the line. Anakin breathed out raggedly before answering back.

"I'm here Snips." Anakin yawned. He didn't realize how much energy it had taken to drag himself across the room. That thought was then reinforced with how loudly his stomach growled. When was the last time he had eaten? Or drank anything. Just thinking about it made Anakin starving and partched at the same time. Trying to push the thoughts away, Anakin focused on sleep. Surely it wouldn't hurt to catch a few Z's?

As he slowly drifted off into the oblivion of sleep Anakin slurred to Ahsoka,

"I'm just gonna take a little nap Ahsoka…" And he was out before he could her's and the other Jedi's cries of protest.

Anakin and Obi-wan were running, chasing after someone. Who that someone was, he wasn't sure. They burst through a crowded market place, almost knocking over a vendor's stand. His cries of rage echoing in the distance as Obi-wan and Anakin continued running after the someone. When this happened Anakin must've still been a padawan because he saw his braid bouncing along out of the corner of his eye. Finally, the 'someone' was back in their range of view. Suddenly Anakin remembered who the 'someone' was, it was a bounty hunter. His name was Trent Pack. He had commited lotsof crimes against the Jedi, including the murder of one.

Up ahead a ship was waiting, waiting for Pack so it could take off. In the cockpit, Anakin could see Isha, eagerly waiting for the bounty to hop aboard the ship.

But that wasn't going to happen.

Anakin and Obi-wan were catching up, closing the distance quickly between them and the bounty hunter. Realizing this the hunter pulled out his blaster. Anakin whipped out his light saber. Pack fired and Anakin blocked the blast, but it rebounded and it hit Pack square in the back of the head. He immediately stopped running and collapsed in the dirt face first.

Then they heard a wailing, a heartbroken wailing. Isha ran out of the ship and flipped Pack's body over and cried. She cried. And cried. And cried. Her sobs echoed through the desert and even made the few stray animals run away.

She looked up at Anakin and screeched.

"You killed him! You killed my husband!" She looked back at her husband and started rocking back and forth on her knees while holding Pack.

"No, no no no no no. NO!" She yelled. She glared at the Jedi and was making to take out her blaster, when she looked down at her belly. A few of her tears fell and Anakin watched them fall on to her swollen belly. She was pregnant.

"I'll get you! I'll kill you!" She yelled, before grabbing the goggles of her husband's head and then running to her ship and taking off in to space.

Anakin burst awake. So…that's who Isha was. But what happened to her baby? Anakin suddenly realized that she had probably lost it. Just by pulling out his light saber to defend himself, Anakin had ruined this woman's life. No wonder she hated him. He would hate him too.

Anakin pulled out his comlink and tried to ask for someone when he had another coughing fit. Hacking and coughing away, almost not being able to breathe. Once again Anakin had to wipe the blood away from his mouth. Trying to catch his breath, Anakin leaned against the wall, listening to his death-rattle breathing. He could barely get any air into his lungs, which were now starting to have an uncomfortable itch in them, and itch he couldn't starch away. Anakin held up the comlink once again.

"You guys still there?" He asked. He could barely hear himself let alone what they could hear. Trying to say it louder this time, Anakin repeated his question. He waited a few moments, listening to his constant wheeze, before they answered back

"We're here Skyguy. We're almost on the planet's surface." Ahsoka said.

"Good. Let me speak to," Anakin coughed, "to Obi-wan please."

Ahsoka answered 'yes Master,' (although sounded somewhat disappointed that he wasn't going to talk to her) and then there was a ruffle as the comlink was passed to Obi-wan.

"Yes Anakin?" He said, wondering what this was about.

"D-do you remember a bounty hunter named Trent Pack?" Anakin asked, hoping Obi-wan could hear him.

"Trent Fack you said?"

"No, Trent Pack." Anakin said, wishing he didn't have to repeat himself. It hurt to talk.

"Yes, he bounty hunter right? And we went after him and-oh." Obi-wan said, suddenly understanding.

"Mhm." Anakin responded, hardly being able to do that. His lungs were really starting to hurt now. He tried to take deep breaths but it wasn't helping much.

"Obi-w-wan. I can't breathe." Anakin said, starting to cough. Obi-wan suddenly sounded alarmed, and he spoke quickly and urgently.

"Anakin, you have to get as much air as possible. Do you hear me?" he said. Anakin coughed, hoping that was answer enough. It must've been enough because Obi-wan continued.

"We are on the surface and have traced your position as best as possible Anakin, what do you see outside?"

"I see…lava, and a factory." Anakin said before taking deep breaths. His head was starting to pound, making it hard to think.

"Be more specific Anakin!"

"I-I see a ship, it's black with, b-blue? Yeah, blue wings." Anakin said. He was starting to get dizzy.

"Just hold on Anakin, we're coming." Anakin just coughed and tried to focus on getting air into his body.

Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, Anakin heard the dreaded footsteps coming. Trying to prepare himself, Anakin tried to get in a position that made it the easiest to breathe and he kept his hands in front of him, ready to try and defend. Although it wasn't much of a plan, it was the best Anakin could think of before Obi-wan and Ahsoka got here.

Isha threw open the door which landed against the wall with a loud BANG.

She already had the taser in one hand and the knife in the other and walked right up to Anakin and looked at him with those same, hate-filled eyes.

"This is the last time I'm going to ask you before I start taking drastic measures Skywalker." Isha spit the name out like it was rotten food.

"Do you remember what you did?" She asked, holing the taser dangerously close to one of Anakin's worst slashes.

Anakin breathed in deeply before answering.

"Yes." Isha looked triumphant before narrowing her eyes.

"Continue." She said.

"My Master and I were chasing a bounty hunter, Trent Pack, your husband. He fired at me and block his blast and it him, killing him."

Isha hissed at him (literally.)

"You ruined my life! I was happy! I had a loving husband, a baby coming, and we got to explore the galaxy, visiting interesting planets, and all the while bringing in a fair amount of money! When the baby was born, we were going to get out of the business. Have a normal life. But OH NO! You-you JEDI," she sneered "just couldn't leave us be. So you killed him."

Isha raised the taser over Anakin's heart.

"Just like I'm going to kill you."

MWHAHA! Cliffhanger! Whoot! I love writing these things. Anyway, due to technical complications, I did not have the proper penname at the very first chapter.

So, without further ado…
