Ahsoka was never alone. Days and days passed, still she never woke. Of course everyone new stuff like this took time. They would give her all the time she needed, because she deserved it or maybe it's all they could really do, but never the less she was never alone. Anakin was with her most of the time, holding her hand day in and day out like the good master he was. Then after a couple of days of not really moving out of his chair either Obi-wan or Luminara would come and practically force him to go eat and take a shower. The routine when on like that for days. Ahsoka was healing up slower than they had hoped and she would have nightmares that no one could wake her up from, so ya everyone was really just all around miserable and tired. Obi-wan spent most of his time in council meetings or trying to figure out how Bariss could have escaped, which wasn't going as planned, nothing ever does. Sigh. Luminara was in the medical wing with most of her other patients but she would stop by frequently to check on Anakin and Ahsoka.
"No change?" Luminara asked Anakin as she walked into the room. Anakin sighed and rubbed his eyes. The answer was always the same.
"No, not since the last time you checked, and the time before that, and the time before that." Anakin grumbled. Not meaning to sound rude he was just tired, as usual.
"No I suppose nothing has changed." Luminara new that Anakin wasn't trying to sound mean. She walks over to Ahsoka's charts and sighed. "Her recovery is remarkably slow it's like she doesn't want to get better." Oh yes another thing that's not going as planned, shocking.
"But she is getting better. Right?" He asked hopefully as he looked over at Ahsoka's sleeping face. She had a peaceful look which made Anakin feel better.
"Yes, yes she is. She's out of critical condition but aside from that the healing is just slow." Luminara walked over to Ahsoka to put her hand on the girls head. "I still can't make a connection to her mind."
Anakin let out a heavy breath. "This is a mess." Because in reality it was. Everything was fine before the bombing, better than fine. Things were great. Ahsoka had been progressing so well. Then she had to go through all the shit was this council and Bariss again…. It was all, a real mess.
Luminara looked down in shame. Bariss had done this to Ahsoka. Her padawan had caused this much pain to Ahsoka. "I'm sorry"
Anakin looked up at Luminara already knowing what she was apologizing for. "It's not your fault Master Luminara it's Bariss'."
Bariss, that bitch
Luminara shook her head in disagreement. "But she was my padawan, my responsibility. I just…I just don't know where I went wrong. I should have sensed something was up. This is my entire fault…"
Before Anakin could reply his communicator went off. He picked it up, 90% sure he already knew who it was. He greeted "Skywalker"
"Anakin we need you and Luminara to meet me to the council chamber for a meeting." It was Obi-wan, now 100% sure.
"What about Ahsoka?"
"It'll be a short meeting but it needs to be done, I'm sorry. Obi-wan out." And with that the transmition ended.
"Ahsoka will be fine on her own for a little bit." Luminara assured.
Anakin sighed once again. "Fine" He looked back at Ahsoka and slowly let go of her hand. "Ahsoka I'll be right back. I promise." Ahsoka seemed to relax and the two nights slipped out of the room. They made their way to the council room in silence. There was nothing to say, well no, that's not true. They both reached the door to the Council chamber but before they could go in Anakin stopped Luminara.
"It wasn't your fault" Luminara looked into Anakin's eyes to see if he really meant it. He did, of course.
"Thank you" And the two proceeded into the room, satisfied.
Line break…because I can.
As promised the meeting was relatively short, to Anakin's liking. This was weird because council meetings normal drag out until Anakin just couldn't stand any longer. Now he, Obi-wan, Luminara, and Yoda, who wanted to check on Ahsoka himself, made their way back to the medical wing. As they walked into the wing they were approached by two very worried padawans. They quickly bowed in respect.
"Padawans distressed you both are. Why is this?" Yoda asked. One of the padawans stood forward. The kid had to be just about bravest little bastered in the hull galaxy to be the one to willingly give the news.
"Well we were doing round and….and when we got to Padawan Tano's room well she w..wasn't…there." The other one stood forward. Second bravest bastered.
"We were on are way to come get you."
Anakin didn't say anything, he just rushed off to Ahsoka's room to check for himself with Obi-wan right behind him. He made it to her room and slammed open her open to find that what the younglings had said was true.
"Noooo" Anakin whispered. "They've taken her" But who was 'they.' Bariss has been looked up for good.
Obi-wan didn't know what to do. If someone had taken Ahsoka they would have been long gone by now. The shock filled silence was cut off by Yoda.
"Take Ahsoka has not."
Anakin looked down at the grand elder. "What?!"
"If taken Ahsoka has been alarms would go off. Yes?" Yoda asked not really needing to because everyone alright new the answer. "Left on her own padawan Ahsoka has."
"Buuuu…but she was fully asleep when we left." Luminara argued.
Yoda went deep in thought. Anakin was still staring at the empty bed, as was Obi-wan and Luminara. Suddenly Yoda broke out of his daze and quite loudly announced. "Right! Finder her we must." he started to quickly hobbled out of the room. "Find her we will." Everyone followed.
Another line break because I'm lazy.
The fore split up. Yoda left to go inform the rest of the council of the new problem at hand leaving the others to go look. Anakin was having a hard time locating her through the force. He couldn't just pin point her like last time.
"This is getting me no were." Anakin said to himself as he turned another corn. Then another, then another, then Bam! Once again he had collided with an unsuspecting pedestrian. Except this time it wasn't poor Katooni, no this person was bigger but still small. Anakin quickly got up and apologize to whoever he collided with. But who did he collide with? Anakin didn't know. So when he looked up into the persons face he had to take a double take, then a triple because this wasn't just any person standing blankly in front of him. The face was all too familiar, but wait, it couldn't be that easy or maybe it could. Or maybe the force decided to just lend him a hand, because, well shit it hasn't been the best of days, whatever.
'No way'
"Ahsoka?"
