Spiraling out of control chapter 8

Let's just say the meeting with the cloaked figure didn't go exactly as Aurra Sing had hoped for, now she found her self bolting through the lower level streets of Corusant trying to evade the hooded person who was chasing after her.

Ahsoka jumped over a speeder and was gaining on the assassin, the blasted woman had hit her right in the face and ran for it. Ahsoka used the force to tare down a sign and it crashed in front of Aurra Sing blocking her path. "Tell me where he is!" Ahsoka demanded.

Aurra Sing turned pulled both of her blaster and open fired, she watched as a green and yellowish green lightsaber sprung to life and began deflecting the bolt of energy. Aurra turned and ran down an ally way knocking over several trash cans along the way hoping to slow her assailant down but she was not so lucky.

Ahsoka jumped over the cans and used the force to slam the assassin against the wall "Where is Bane!" she demanded loudly. Aurra hit the wall with a loud thud but was able to land on a knee "Your going to turn him in to the Republic!" she replied firing her blasters again as fast as she could.

Ahsoka was so concentrated on deflecting the blaster bolts that she didn't notice a silver ball flying right at her. When she finally realized it was a grenade it detonated in front of her. Ahsoka barely had enough time to throw up a force shield before she was thrown back by the blast. Ahsoka hit and collapsed to both knees, her breathing hard and fast from chasing the assassin for so long.

When the ringing inside of Ahsoka's head finally faded and her eyes were able to focus again she looked up and saw Aurra Sing pointing a blaster directly at her head. Then suddenly is was as if the entire world just slowed down and Ahsoka could feel the misty serpents begin to move in her arms.

The next thing Ahsoka knew was the Aurra Sing was screaming, Ahsoka looked at the assassin and a green misty fog started to form around Ahsoka. Ahsoka watched as the green mist formed the shape of two serpents one on her left and another on her right.

Somewhere deep inside of Ahsoka's core all the pain and angr she had felt was beginning to build, her blood began to boil with rage and Ahsoka's face took on a sinister snarl.

"Where is he!?" Ahsoka demanded extending her hand forward, the two green serpents as if commanded attacked Aurra sinking their misty fangs into her body causing unimaginable pain to the assassin.

"Tell me where he is!" Ahsoka growled and her voice suddenly echoed off of every building around them similar to what the Night Sister voices did. Ahsoka closed her extended hand turning it into a half closed fist. The green serpents dug their fangs deeper into the assassin causing her to bleed.

"He's….he's…Serenno…headed to Serenno" Arrua chocked out then started coughing up blood. "Taken to…Separatists leader…Dooku" Arrua continued. Ahsoka fits closed tightly and the serpents dug their fangs into the assassins neck silencing her for good. Then…the anger faded all the rage she felt disappeared back down within her and the green serpents disappeared from sight.

Ahsoka was panting, what in the world had just happened. She just killed a person in cold blood, she didn't know what came over her, what had made her kill the assassin. What were those green serpents of mist? Was that the gift Mother Talzin was speaking of? As quickly as the moment had come it had faded leaving the padawan slightly shaken and confused.

Ahsoka pulled up the sleeves to her cloak and looked at her arms, the serpents were still there. She reach over with a slow hand and touched the markings, she closed her eyes and took a moment to catch her breath. There was no explanation of why she had just exploded in rage I mean sure she was mad but that was something more. It wasn't just anger, no. As she thought back to the moments before she remembered feeling complete undeniable hatred and rage, desire to destroy and have revenge. The rush of power she had felt during that moment was now gone.

She thought over what the assassins had said then her eyes widened, Anakin was being taken to Count Dooku. Ahsoka stood up and ran down the alleyway to find the nearest ship that would take her to Serenno. Maybe there was still time, maybe she could get to Anakin before Cad took him to Dooku but she needed to hurry.

Anakin Skywalker was fading in and out of conscious, his mouth was dry and his throat was burning. He could tell in his semi conscience state that he was suspended off of the ground. Every intake of breath was a challenge; each breath took more effort then the last. He could feel himself fading; he could feel the darkness creeping over him to take him in to slumber for eternity.

Then Anakin felt it, it was faint but it steadily grew. A cry of pain and complete turmoil then it morphed into a deep dark anger and hatred. Anakin tried to place who this pain was coming from but his mind was slow and weak.

He wanted to so desperately to just give into the darkness that threatened to take him, then his pain would be over. Then he remembered what he was fighting for, not just for the Republic, the Jedi; he was fighting for more than that. He was fighting for his friend Obi-wan, his wife Padme and his apprentice Ahsoka.

Then suddenly his mind made a connection and he felt the pain through the bond he shared with Ahsoka. "Ahsoka…" he said weakly, he couldn't just leave her; so he fought. He fought with every bit of strength he had, every ounce of his will pushing him to survive, pushing him to fight "Ahsoka…" he said stronger.

Shaak ti felt bad for dealing with Ahsoka so harshly, it wasn't the poor girl fault. Shaak knew that Ahsoka was a good girl but she was just struggling to deal with this hardship. Perhaps if she spoke with her again it could help, though she had tried before and failed it did not dampen her resolve. Shaak stood up and headed out of her room toward Ahsoka's room, she knew the girl was probably still mad at her but she needed to try and get through to her.

Looking at it now, Ahsoka was a lot like Anakin the two were almost like looking in a mirror sort of speak. They way they acted, to their attitudes to their minds on the battlefield, no wonder they made such a good pair. Instead of knocking Shaak just walked straight into the common room and headed toward Anakin's room figuring that was where Ahsoka was at.

"Listen Ahsoka I wanted to talk to…" Shaak trailed off as she walked into the empty room not seeing Ahsoka. Shaak looked around for the young padawan trying to find her, she then went to Ahsoka's room and found it empty as well. Ahsoka?" Shaak called walking back into the common room, after a long moment of silence she reached down and turned on her comm. "Master Kanobi we may have a problem" she said.

"What's the problem" Obi-wan replied. "Well I decided to go talk to Ahsoka, I felt bad about acting as rashly as I did and wanted to talk to her and well, she's not here" Shaak said. "What do you mean she is no there?" Obi-wan replied. "I mean she is not in her room and she is not in Anakin's room" Shaak replied. "Do you think she went looking for Aurra Sing?" Shaak asked. There was a paused before Obi-wan replied "Based on how certain she sounded yesterday I would have to assume so. I'll go get a speeder ready and we can go look for her" Obi-wan replied.
