chapter twenty three

"Freya" Silas spoke to her, he stood next to her watching Freya play with the communicator Anakin gave her, "Hasn't he talked to you yet?"

"I don't care" he told her walking away but still with the communicator in hand.

"Freya, I don't want to discourage you or anything like that, but it is what we are, we are the bad guys, the villains, we don't have happy endings"

Freya turned to Silas, expressing her emotions with difficulty without disguising them as narcissism.

"I used to think that one day i would wake up and see him go because he got tired of my tricks, i didn't blame him, it's me, the problem is me"

"Oh, Freya," Silas gently put his hand on her shoulder to keep her from moving away, "I'm sorry."

Freya shrugs, her lips pursed with tears.

Then the hideout door makes a banging noise. Freya and Silas immediately go on the defensive.

Freya subtly goes to open the door and when she does, a body rushes towards her and surrounds her waist with force, Freya shudders before her body to body contact.

"Ahsoka?" She looks at the young Padawan who hugs her waist as he calls out, "Is everything okay?"

"I didn't know where to go," she sobs herself, "I could only think of coming here, please, Freya, don't leave me."

Freya looked at Silas, who was just as confused as she was, but Freya placed a hand on Ahsoka's sobbing head to calm her down.

Minutes passed with Ahsoka crying, clinging to Freya's waist. When she had calmed down a bit, she walked away in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, gave me a lot of feeling when I got here"

"It's Okay" Freya gave her a reassuring smile.

"I will not return to the jedi order, I do not trust them, first they expelled me and then they wanted me to return to them"

"Is that what's been keeping the Jedi busy?"

"Yes" she wipes away the tears and notices the communicator in Freya's hand, "that's why Anakin hasn't contacted you, I know they argued, he wanted to apologize, I think the fact that he was late is my fault"

"Don't blame yourself, Ahsoka, it doesn't matter anymore" Freya carefully wipes her tears with a tissue.

"Don't you want to be with Anakin anymore? He really wanted to apologize to you, what happened with me kept him busy, but he really cares about you."

"I know" Freya smiled at him, "now, you can stay here whenever you want"

"I don't want to be a bother"

"I've always wanted a puppy," Silas adds, "and you're the closest thing to one, so we're going to adopt you."

"I accept it but that offends me"

"I will train you Ahsoka, since you are not in the jedi order, you must continue your training, but not as a jedi"

"Train me?" Ahsoka asks confused.

"She trained the red cobra," Silas informs her, "she will make you into someone you no longer have to fear."

"I would offer you refuge forever, but you know who we work for, so I'll give you enough weapons to know how to hold your own out there. I'll teach you what it's like to be an anti-hero."

"I'm not an anti-hero, no offense, but I don't want to join the dark side"

"Oh no, Ahsoka, you won't, I will teach you how to survive the dark side, I know that dark times are coming and you must be prepared for it"
