Time's up! (A Clone Wars Fanfic)

Part 4- Tattoo

"Yeah sure! Meet me in the garden?"
"Sure! I'll be there in a minute!"

Melian rushed to the garden to see Ahsoka there. She ran and hugged her as hard as she could.
"I've missed you so much! Feels like we haven't talked in years!" Melian almost screamed. Ahsoka and her used to talk all the time, but seeing how they became padawans they got separated a bit.
"I missed you too! We have to catch up so much, we better start!" They laughed a bit, sat on one of the benches and started talking about everything that's happened in these 4 months of them being padawans.

Ahsoka was talking, but Melian didn't hear what. She zoned out. Her mind and eyes were on the tattoo on her right wrist. She always had it, even when Master Shaak Ti brought her and her brother to the Temple, so many years ago. The tattoo says something really weird, something she couldn't even begin to explain.

"Melian? Are you even listening?"
"What? Oh yes yes, I am, I was just wondering how this stupid tattoo got here" She said, pointing to her tattoo
"Melian... you gotta let the tattoo go, at least for some time. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation."
"Yeah, probably... I hope" she smiled slightly at her Togruta friend who smiled back. The smile slowly faded from Melian's face
"But it kind of scares me, the tattoo"
"Why? What does it say?"
Melian took a deep breath.
"It says 'Time's Up', what could that mea-"
"Melian!! Melian come quick!!" Anakin ran into the garden and interrupted her before she finished the sentence.
"Master what's wrong?!" she stood up quickly, fear spreading thru her veins.
"They are attacking Naboo! We have to go now!"
She looked at Ahsoka with a worried look and Ahsoka tilted her head for Melian to go. Naboo was her home.

As soon as she knew it they were on the Resolute, hurrying to Naboo. This can't be happening... they wouldn't dare! she thought. Rex, as if reading her mind, said
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Naboo will be safe again" while putting his hand around her shoulder. She felt... safe. He always made her feel like that, like a big brother. She hoped she made her little brother feel like that... safe.
"I know it will. I just can't help but wonder why? How?"
"Because the Seppies have nerves for everything, even the things they shouldn't do. They don't care about droids. I mean I wouldn't either, but, unlike clones, droids are not alive" while he was talking Melian could feel him getting filled with anger. The Separatists took way to many brothers to not hate them.
"Everyone, into the gunships!" Anakin yelled. Melian wanted to run to a gunship as fast as her legs carried her, but they exited hyperspace and she could see Naboo. She didn't want to believe what's happening, but it was true. There were battles in space, on the surface...
"What have they done to my home?"
