Star Wars The Clone Wars: A New Life

Chapter 2

As they rounded the corner...

As the Jedi rounded the corner, they saw Padawan Ahsoka sitting on a rock lent up against the pipe wall behind her. Ahsoka's right arm was lying in her lap bleeding profusely, her other arm was dangling down beside her, a dirty piece of metal clutched in her left hand weakly. Her head rested back against the wall of the pipe, her face still pailing, her eyes closed, her lips slightly parted and her breathing shallow.

Grand-master Yoda gently took Ahsoka's right hand and wrist into both of his hands and held her arm up to the light. He saw Ahsoka's right wrist bleeding heavily from a deep cut across one of her veins.

Anakin answered just as he saw Kicks and Fives returning with the stretcher, Commander Cody in tow. Altogther the Jedi and clones quickly got Ahsoka situated on the stretcher and out of the pipe line. They all got on a gunship which took them to the temple.

Once at the temple, the clones and Jedi took Ahsoka to the halls of healing where they were unceremoniously shut out. So began the long boring job of waiting to here news be that it Good or Bad they didn't know.

And so they waited and waited and waited until the door opened three hours later to reveal one of the healers, who looker completely exhausted. The healer turned to the waiting and said...
