To late

Ahsokas P.O.V

"Ahsoka tano the court herby sentences you to death for your actions" the chancler announces. My heart stops. It feels like I'm underwater as I'm lead back to my cell. Padme comes in and begins to sob into my shoulder whispering I'm sorry over and over again. I pat her back and reassure her she did all she could. " padme look at me" I say as she looks up at me her makeup smudge tears trickling down her face. " you are the closest thing I have ever had to family even after all turned away you still believed in me, I thank you for your loyalty and if it is my life's time to end then so be it". "You could escape, run away" she whispered voice horse from crying. " no padme there is no running from the unavoidable, I want you to thank master Anikan for trying and for not turning away from me like so many others" I noticed a clone ready too escort her out standing in the cell. "This is where I say goodbye" I say a few stray tears trickling down my cheek," sister. "Goodbye" she whispers as the clone leads her out. I lay on my caught and stare at the ceiling. I hear the door open and see the Jedi council file in. My tone is bitter but at the same time void if emotion." If you are here to make sure I don't escape then you are waisting your time. I will not run from the unavoidable". "We are not here for that resone" Kenobi says." Then what pray tell" I snarl " are you here for Jedi"."to ask", yoda says his voice deep and sad," what your thoughts on your execution are". "And why you killed so many" master windue added his voice as stern and emotionless as always."I didn't place that bomb but why should I tell you. You won't believe it and even if you do you need to keep the republic happy and it won't matter," I hesitate for a moment debating wether or not to finish my thought. They are not my masters any more what I say doesn't matter." The war had made the Jedi blind enough to side with physical evidence rather then what the force may tell them. I don't believe the light side of the force would agree with how you have abandoned me." I sat up and looked at them for a moment." When I was trying to solve the crime I was framed for. I met ventrace. She told me about how the Jedi council abandoned her and how douku abandon her and you know what I realized," looking at the face of every member of the council and finally locking eyes with yoda." Your not all that different," severele of the council members looked at each other in shock at my accusation. But I continue," you both leave people behind, but it doesn't matter I will die tomorrow." I smile as a few tears roll down my cheek laying on my back an looking back up at the ceiling." My life is ending so I might as well tell you my last words now because I shall only repeat them once tomorrow." I close my eyes and breathe in deeply and recall the words of the poem I had wrote at as a yungling. The assignment had been to write a poem, song or story on how we want to feel when we die. My instructor said mine had been the deepest and best. The master who thought the class had been yoda. Maybe he will remember from back when I wrote it." My song is over, I will die but I want the universe to know that all who've wronged me are forgiven, that as I join with the force I take withe me only memories of happiness and joy, for this is my goodbye" I rolled over on my side and curled away from the Jedi as tears silently stream down my face. I hear them as they leave and I hear the distinct whisper of the last line the one I refused to say from yoda." For I am a Jedi knight and that is our way". 

Yoda's P.O.V

"For I am a Jedi knight and that is our way" I whisper so only the young Ahsoka can hear. What she said hurt the pride of the council and made us question if we did the write thing, not because it was a trick meant to make us seconded guess our selves. But because we all knew what she had said was true. " I fear a great mistake we have made". I say once we reach the council room." Yes master yoda I do believe your correct even for her skill Ahsoka is still young barely over 16 common time years old. And we sent her to her death." Kenobi replied."Master yoda I do not understand why you and master Kenobi believe she is innocent,all the evidence clearly points otherwise" master windue commented in a confused tone. " she is just a child we shouldn't have abandoned her in the first place," master Kenobi argues back. Argument begin and voices rasie. I raise my hand and the room grows quite. I look at the council with sad eyes and bring out a data cube setting it in the slot in my chair and programming it to play a setting clip." 8 common time years ago young Ahsoka tano was in a class if mine". Everyone settled back in there chairs some still fuming but curious about what I had to say none the less. "For the final project you had to write a poem, song or story on what you want your last thoughts to be" I chuckled but it was a sad one." Most projects where what was expected thoughts about things they'd wish they'd done or what they had done. But hers was a poem and it was the only one that I actually thought might be her last thoughts or words." I played the video of a younger version of Ahsoka reading her poem to the class." This is my last thoughts poem but I like to call it forgiven. My song is over, I will die but I want the universe to know that all who've wronged me are forgiven, that as I join with the force I take withe me only memories of happiness and joy, for this is my goodbye For I am a Jedi knight and that is our way" I paused it after it finished, " notice how she didn't mention the last line yes?" I say," that is because she never reached her one goal to be a Jedi knight." There was a moment of silence before master windue whispered," what gave we done" in horror starring at the girl who all she ever wanted was to be a Jedi knight to help.

The next morning

The whole council gathered at the execution. It would be a simple shooting squad a quick painless merciful death she deserved that much. She was lead out and was asked if she had any final words. "My song is over, I will die but I want the universe to know that all who've wronged me are forgiven, that as I join with the force I take withe me only memories of happiness and joy, for this is my goodbye," she took in a deep breath and closed her eyes standing against the walk proud for all she had done in that moment. They took aim many turned there eyes. The command was given to fire just as someone shouted it wasn't her. The solders where confused and there shots went through her stomach and and her leg she collapsed on the ground the shots fatal. Padwan barris offe burst through the crowed. I remember luminara saying she would tell barris abut ahsokas sentience this morning. " it wasn't her," she cried ", it was me I bombed the temple but I didn't want you to kill her only lock her away till I could free her". She broke into tears and began to stroke ahsokas cheek in a sisterly manner. She whispered I'm sorry over and over again. And with her last breath young innocent Ahsoka said the most Jedi knight thing I have ever heard or seen. " I forgive you," and with those words she joined the force." Goodbye dear friend," whispered barris offe," I shall see you soon and with that plunged her lightsaber into her heart killing her self. I closed my eyes morning the loss of two young children with so much ahead in their lives.

A month later

I looked at Ahsoka's and barris's buffs in the hall of the lost. Ahsoka I had tilted the forgiver and barris the forgiven. They both have Ahsoka's poem ingraves under there titeles and under Ahsoka's a quote from me. It said " the braivest Jedi I have ever known". And it is true.
