"Dropping out of hyperspace in five," Sabine called to Ahsoka. "Good. Make sure that you keep your guard up here. If I'm not mistaken, I still have some enemies here," Ahsoka called back. Then she continued,  "Coruscant is not the place to let your guard down." 

"Yeah. I know. I've been here before. Don't really remember much. I was captured. Met the Emperor. (This is something that I'm working on right now. It's called "Sabine: A New Journey" if you're interested)  That was not fun...." Sabine trailed off, getting lost in memory. Ahsoka walked in. Are you all right?" 

"I-I'm fine. Just wondering why you chose Coruscant as our first destination."

"I know someone who'll help us. He will likely know were Ezra is."

"Can't you use the Force or something?"

"That's not how the Force works."

Sabine pulled out of hyperspace. "Oh. Sure. When you had to escape Malachor you can use the Force to travel through time and space but when you need to find one blue-haired kid. Suddenly that's not how the Force works." 

Ahsoka tried not to smile with amusement. But then frowned when she felt what was coming from Sabine's life-signature.  "Oh Sabine. Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes I'm fine," Sabine said, a little to fast. 

"Sabine, something is bothering you. I can feel it. Your life-signature is sending off waves of pain, grief, hurt, sorrow, shock, anger, guilt, betrayal, and...fear. What happened on the Ghost?"

"I don't want to talk about it. But fine. Hera wanted to stop me from leaving the ship, so she sent Zeb, Kallus, and Chopper to stop me. They failed miserably. I-I did what I had to do." Sabine was starting to feel tears coming to her eyes.

"What did you do?" 

"I-I shot Zeb," Sabine's voice was barely a whisper. Ahsoka didn't looked surprised. She motioned Sabine to continue. "I shot a stun bullet at Zeb, and I don't know what I did to Chopper. Kallus got stunned with his own bullet. But I feel horrible. Like a monster. I can't stop feeling guilty for what I did." Ahsoka looked at Sabine, full of understanding. Sabine was young, and she had faced much grief and pain. "Too much for one as young as her. I wish she didn't have to go through it all," Ahsoka thought to herself. 

Sabine shook herself and said, "Let's go find your friend."    


Aaaaaand there is is. Next is an Ezra chapter. Who do you think Ahsoka's friend is? You won't find out next chapter, but the one after. May the Force be with you!
