Happier

New Master

Ahsoka's POV

I wake up to Obi-Wan shaking me carefully. I realize that we are in a speeder in front of the Jedi Temple. I am nervous now, wondering what is going to happen. I get out of the speeder and Obi-Wan and I walk into the temple. He ends up leading me to the council chambers. I feel like I am shaking. Once we get to the council chambers Obi-Wan goes and sits in his chair leaving me to stand in the center. " Good to see you back Padawan Tano" Yoda says. I nod my head, not wanting to say anything. 

" You will be given a new master to complete your Padawan training" Master Windu says. I nod my head and then they call someone in. " Master Krell, you new master will be" Master Yoda says. I have heard things about him, he is successful but there are usually quite a few loses. Obi-Wan stands up and hands me my Padawan braid back. I take it and put it back on. I bow to the council then I walk with Master Krell out. 

Once we are out of the council chambers Master Krell turns to me, " Now that you are my Padawan there are rules you have to follow. 1, you will only speak when spoken to or asked to speak. 2, you will address the clones by their numbers only and no associating with them unless told to. 3, if you disobey orders there will be punishments. Remembers these rules and nothing bad will happen to you" He says. He then turns and starts to walk again and I follow him. We reach what must be the quarters that we will be sharing. 

He points to my room and tells me to not come out until he comes to get me. I nod and walk into my room, I close the door and sit down on my bed. I decide to lay down and get some sleep. I sleep for a few hours before there is a loud knock on my door. I get up and Krell is at the door. " Let's go, we have a mission" he says. he walks out the door and I follow him. We get in a starship and I can see his clones. He walks to the command center and as soon as he does the ship goes into hyperspace. 

I haven't heard anything about the mission so I decide to ask Krell where we are going. " Excuse me master but what is this mission." I ask. He turns to me angrily and slaps me across the face, knocking me back. " I told you, no talking unless told to" he says. I keep my head down while nodding. He stands there for a while yelling orders at clones. After a while he decides to have me go to my quarters on the ship. While I am walking I can't help but think that I have a feeling that these will probably be the worst few months of my life. What is wrong with Krell? Hitting me for just asking a question? 

I wonder what else he would do. I hate his one rule about not talking to the clones and only calling them by their numbers. They deserve so much more respect and I like to get to know who I get to serve with. I decide to go to the hanger bay where most of the clones hang out. When I get there I see most of the clones hanging out in one group and talking. I walk up to them and they all stand and salute. " At ease," I say. I end up spending almost the rest of the day just talking to them and getting to know them. They are all really nice and they remind me of the 501st. 

They are quit fun to talk to. After a while I start to get a little tired so I say goodbye to them and walk to my room. Just as I am about to lay down on my bed there is a knock on my door. I open the door and there stands Krell. ' Oh No' I think to myself. " Padawan, where were you" he says. " I was here master" I say hoping that he will believe me. " Don't lie to me Padawan" he says stepping farther into my room. " Im not lying" I say, maybe he will believe me this time. " I know where you were. I told you not to socialize with the clones" He says darkly. All of a sudden he walks over to me and punches me in the gut. I fall back on the floor and he punches me in the face and kicks me. 

He punches me a few more time and leaves me bloody laying on the floor. I lay there for a few minutes just taking in what just happened. I am just barely able to stand up and walk over to my bed where I collapse. I don't have the strength to move anymore so I end up just laying there and falling asleep.
