Ahsokas POV
Red lightsabers flashed across my vision. A hideous wrinkled old man hiding in the shadows. Spells cast, speches given, a mirage of all I had ever known fading before my eyes. I started to feel cold and clammy as I awoke slightly from the dream I could feel the cool stripes were tears had streaked me face. I completely lacked the will to move or wake up as the darkness once more engulfed me I saw dead jedi laying one the floor of jedi temple younglings strewn about blood smeared all over the floor. To red lightsabers ignighted and I heard a voice say
"Always in motion, the future is!"
Suddenly a hooded figure and a cyborg emerged from the shadows of which they had been hiding and simultaneously thrust their light sabers at me.
I woke with a start. I felt cold as I was drenched in my own sweat and I could feel tears streaming down my face and neck. Anakin was sitting beside me with a hand on my back his eyes asking questions. I sat there trembling and dazed as he took me in his arms. The one place I felt safe, loved. He started to pull away and a wave of fear and uncertainty washed over me I mouthed words but they would not come out. Finally with all the strength in me I was able to whisper
"Master, no! Don't leave me! I don't want to be alone! Dont leave me alone!"
He sat there for almost ten more minutes holding me. As the fear and anxiety drained from me I let my body go limp in Anakins embrace. He gently slipped his arm out from under me as he layed me back on the sofa. I expressed my fear and my vision through our force bond. As he got up and took my hand to help me up
"Snips, are you ok?"
"Yes master, but I sense something evil is upon us and yet I cannot sense what..."
"Ahsoka, you have been given a gift. But I can also be a curse if you should let your feelings define you actions. I will stay right by your side until you find the meaning of your vision."
"The future is always in motion"
I whispered to myself. Contemplating the meaning of the words. Time was a confusing thing.
To tired to do anything but to afraid to sleep I sat on the sofa. Anakin paced around the lounge watching me from the corner of his eye. He was always so protective of me...he always put my needs ahead of his own. Selflessness was a quality he prided himself on. It was a quality all jedi possessed some more strongly than others. I got up and went to the Chancellors rooms to see if I could be of any assistance. Anakin silently followed. We entered her elaborate rooms were she was sitting tending to some documents. She looked up
"Master jedi, padawan Tano, pleased to see you! What can I do for you."
"We came to see if you needed anything"
"No, no. Thank you though. My ladies wait on my every need day and night. If I need anything I will contact you!"
I walked out of my room, bored, and decided to check with C3-PO on the status of our flight. To my dismay he reported back that there were precisely 6 hours and 22 minutes to Naboo. I returned to the lounge and flopped on the couch, still reluctant to sleep I tried to find something to do Anakin took a seat beside me and turned on the holoscreen tv scearching for a film to watch. Once we found one we agreed on I leaned on his shoulder and settled in to watch. He wrapped one arm around my torso while using the other one to pull a blanket up around us. By the time the movie had ended I had fallen peacefully asleep on his lap, all the while he stroked and traced my face markings and lekkus.
5 hours later
I awoke to the ship entering Naboos atmosphere and anikin sleeping to the side of me.When the ship lurched he woke with a start and a groan as he moaned
"Morning sleeping beauty!"
He gave me his signature lopsided smile as he hurried to the control room. I went back to the queen to ready her for departure...
2 hours later
Up on delivering the queen to her security detail in the palace, Anikin informed the council on our succsessfull mission. Congragulating us master Windu gave us vacation leave. Anikin thanked the council as they nodded and the hollow projector went dark.
"You ready for some fun snips?"
He asked with a grin. I shook my head knowing that he had trouble planned
