Anakin ran as fast as he could to the council room where he hoped Obi-wan were. He got on one of the turbo lifts that went to the council's room. The lift was empty which he was thankful of.

''Come on, come on!'' He mumbled impatiently. It was now well into the evening and the more time he wasted the farther Ahsoka could get and the farther Ahsoka could get the more danger she could be in. This sudden thought hit Anakin hard. 'She can defend herself. Not in the state she was in.' He shook his head furiously as he tried to diminish the thought. 'No she's probably alright she has to be.'

The doors to the lift opened to reveal Obi-wan and Master Luminara.

"Where the hell have you been?" Obi-wan asked franticly. Booth masters made their way onto the lift with Anakin.

"Wait I thought there was a council meeting." Anakin asked confusedly as the door closed.

"Well, Anakin if you were there as you were supposed to be you would know that Bariss has escaped and is now running around free." Obi-wan explained. There was a pause. Anakin just stared at Obi-wan like he grew a third eye. Very calmly and slowly so not to lose control Anakin asked,

"She…..escaped?"

"Just now there…..." Luminara answered. Anakin cut her off.

"But she escaped?"

"Yes Anakin" Obi-wan said slowly a little annoyed.

Luminara noticed something was very wrong then questioned, "Where is your Patawan, Skywalker?"

Anakin looked away, "I…..I don't know." His voice was shaking in distress.

Obi-wan raised an eye brow. "What do you mean you don't know?"

Anakin than became frantic as he started blurting out words franticly. "I don't know. I was going to meet her at the council chamber but then I bummed into Katooni. Then I got to Ahsoka before she left. But she started to totally freak out. She was having like a mental breakdown or something I don't know. She forced pushed me back but when I got up she was already gone. So I came to get you but now Bariss has escaped while Ahsoka is running aimlessly through the city scared and confused out of her mind. She won't be able to defend herself if Bariss attacks!"

Obi-wan and Luminara just looked at Anakin confusedly. "Wait! Slow down. What happened to Ahsoka?" obi-wan asked again.

Anakin took a deep breath to collect his thoughts. He let the air out slowly. "Master, something is really wrong with Ahsoka. She had and is still having a some sort of huge panic attack. It's like her mind was exploding right in front of me. She can no long proses her surrounding so she ran away from me into the city. Right now she is confused and very scare all alone, force only knows were and now Bariss is out there to." He explained slowly.

"If Ahsoka's alone then Bariss with be after her for revenge." Luminara was in deep thought. The doors to the lift opened and the three ran out to go search for Ahsoka. By this time it was night but the city that never sleeps was still lit with much light from speeders and building.

"If Ahsoka is having a panic attack than she would naturally want to stay away from the lights." Luminara explains as the three started to search the streets.

"Why?" Anakin asked.

"When a person has a panic attack their brains go into overload. They become extremely sensitive to light and sound, so Ahsoka probably fled to somewhere were its dark and quitter." She explained

"Sound like the lower levels would fit." The bearded Jedi sighed. The three made their way across the city to the lower levels. Luminara stopped and turned around to face Anakin.

"Anakin I need you to concentrate on your Patawan and find her location. We might never find her on our own."

Anakin nodded and took a deep breath as he closed his eyes to concentrate. He used the force connection to Ahsoka to locate her. But such a task took time. Where are you snips? Five minutes later his eyes snapped open. "I found her but she wasn't alone."

"Who was it?" Obi-wan asked but fearing that he already knew the answer.

"Bariss" Anakin snarled

With that Anakin started to run to the location of his Patawan, with the two Master hot on his trail. They arrived at the entrance to a dark clearing to see Bariss force choking Ahsoka then slammed the poor girl against the wall. Ahsoka was awake but she made no attempt to resist or even move. No, not my snips. Before Bariss could finish off Ahsoka Anakin force pushed her back.

"NEVER EVER TOUCH MY PATAWAN AGAIN!" He yelled in raw rage. Bariss tried to escape but Obi-wan Force pushed her back into a wall and the traitor pasted out.

Anakin ran to Ahsoka. She was slumped up against the wall. She was hurt and dirty. Not my snips. Luminara then came closer to examine Ahsokas injuries but as soon as she touched her harm all three nights were blaster back with a force push.

"I don't even understand how she's doing that when she's not even awake."

Luminara try to walk closer to Ahsoka but she was pushed back again. "It's some sort of subconscious defense mechanism. She thinks everything is going to hurt her so she's pushing everything away."

"But we're trying to help." Obi-wan stated. Anakin tried to come closer to Ahsoka but was pushed away. He looked at Luminara for answers.

"She doesn't know that. Right now her mind is overloading, she probably doesn't even know how she is."

Anakin looked at Ahsoka who now was curled up into a ball. Come on snips it's me. I would never her you please let me in. He took a deep breath. "Then I'm just going to have to remind her" He stated to walk to Ahsoka again. The force wave hit him but he pushed through. As he kept getting closer to Ahsoka the force waves became stronger and stronger. Each step got harder and harder. The friction of the force became so great that blue lightning started to shot out in different places but Anakin moved closer. Ahsoka listen to me I want to help. It's me its Anakin. Anakin then made one last push and with it he reached Ahsoka. He grabbed the small ball that was his Patawan and hugged her tight.But the Force waves were now out of control and the blue lightning way everywhere yet Anakin didn't let go.

"Ahsoka you can stop now I won't her you nor will Obi-wan or Luminara we want to help. Please let us help you." Despite all the chaos Anakin spoke softly. And to everyone's great relief she started to calm down. The force waves weakened greatly. Anakin smiled as he pulled his Patawan into his lap and slowly rocked her back and forth. While speaking to her through there bond softly. Ata girl, just focus on me and my voice. Everything is going to be fine. You're going to be fine you just need to calm down. My little Snips. He kissed her forehead slowly and soothingly a few time. After many more minutes the force waves were completely gone as was the lightning. With the help of both Luminara and Obi-wan Anakin slowly stood up with a sleeping Ahsoka in his arms.

"Luminara tried to examine her left arm but Ahsoka cringed when the woman touched her. She whimpered into Anakin's tunic. "Shhh shhh shh everything's alright Snips no one is going to hurt you she's just trying to help." Anakin whispered and kissed her forehead. Ahsoka then slowly relaxed again. Anakin looked at Luminara and nodded. The healer then gently touched Ahsokas arm but glad to see that the girl didn't flinch. Luminara closed her eyes to examine her using the force.

She pulled away moments later. "She need medical attention immediately, we need to go back to the temple now."

Anakin and Obi-wan knotted. Before they left Obi-wan grabbed the still very unconscious Bariss and slummed her over his shoulders like a potato sack. Once he was ready to leave they all rushed back home. As they ran to the temple Obi-wan couldn't take his eyes and mind off of Ahsoka 'What have we done to you?'
