Obi Wan continued to tap his foot against the marble floor, the sound of it echoing round the training room, Ahsoka watching him, her training sabre being tossed from one hand to another in shear boredom. She sighed and looked towards the chronometer that hung upon the wall 7:30 once again he was late, by a long shot. She now stood to her feet and walked over to the window, small tears dripping down her cheeks. 'He said he would be here' she thought to herself miserably. She felt the cold air brush across her cheeks as a hand was placed upon her shoulder. She felt the comfort of this gesture warm her heart as she watched people walk below her minding their business, she tried to look for the familiar speeder that would hold her Master but she couldn't.

"Master Obi Wan, he promised he would come today" Ahsoka cried out feeling more tears drip down her face.

"Don't worry I'm sure he'll be here any minute now Ahsoka" Obi Wan told her gripping her shoulder softly. Obi Wan himself doubted Anakin now; his time issues were out of control and he was reckless all the same. He heard Ahsoka gasp and he turned round to see her staring endlessly out the window.

"What is it Ahsoka?" Obi Wan asked her.

"Master Obi Wan, look on the horizon there are lights" she was right, lights were flashing everywhere and the sound of rumbling echoed round them. They felt the floor shake underneath them as they turned again and saw the explosions shake the buildings. The two of the looked towards each other and looked at the explosions.

'Ahsoka, help me'

The message hit her through their bond so quickly it made her knees crumple and fall to the floor, being caught just in time by Obi Wan before she hit the floor.

"Ahsoka what is it?" Obi Wan asked, lifting her up slowly and brushing her off.

"Master Skywalker is in trouble" she said, all her words coming out all at once as she pulled herself from Obi Wan's grip and ran through the door.
