Ahsoka I: When everything changed

13

The ship looked the same way we left it, peacefully hidden between the trees. Inside however a lot had changed. Three evil pairs of eyes looked at me and Azreal. Bountyhunters.

'What are you doing on our ship?' I said. 'Well because you asked so nicely, we're here to kill you.' The biggest bountyhunter said. 'And why might that be?'
'None of your business!'
'So you're just going to kill someone without telling them why?' I said. 'Alright then, someone hired us and that's all you have to know.'
'Such a pity, they probably forgot to tell you that we're Jedi.' I said while igniting my Lightsabers. I gave one of them to Azreal.

The bountyhunters started shooting at us and we started deflecting their shots. I wondered where Lux was, surely they didn't kili him. At least I hoped so. I hit a bountyhunter, he fell because he was dead. Azreal killed the second one and eventually I ended up killing the third one too. It wasn't that difficult.

I realised I had just killed people and was therefore an assassin. Killing people was different than droids. Yet it is part of life if you want to survive in a situation like mine. Survival of the fittest I'd say.

Touching their bodies was a whole new level so I just threw them outside with the Force. I'm not afraid of dead people, but I still don't like touching them.

'We need to find Lux.' Azreal said. He gave me my Lightsaber back. 'Good idea. Do you have any idea where he could be?' I asked. 'No, I guess we'll just have to do this the old-fashion way.' He said before he ran off to look for Lux. I looked too but I didn't find him.

'Ahsoka!' Azreal said. 'Come outside, you have to see this!'
I went outside to see what Azreal meant but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. 'What's it?' I asked. 'There's someone in the tree.'

Azreal pointed at the tree and I followed his direction. Someone was indeed in the tree, tangled in the vines. I Force jumped and eventually landed next to the person. It was Lux.

'Ahsoka you have no idea how glad I am to see you!' he said. 'The feeling is mutual.' I answered. I cut the vines and went back to the ground, with Lux in my arms. Lux screamed, I never knew he could or would ever do that. It was kind of funny. 'Please warn me when you're going to fall out of a tree next time.' he said. 'I didn't fall, I jumped.' I said with a smirk.

'So why were you in a tree exactly?' Azreal asked. 'Quite simple actually, I was studying maps when I heard a loud noise so I decided to check it out. I saw two strange looking men, bountyhunters, when someone took my wrists. I wasn't able to do much more than kicking, but I only hit thin air. One of them hit me on my head pretty hard so I fainted. The next thing I know is that I was stuck in a web of vines.

'I thought we were safe here.' Azreal said. 'Don't assume you're safe, you'll let your guard down a lot easier.' I said. Someone must have betrayed us otherwise it would've been nearly impossible to find us. But Azreal, Lux and Yoda were out of the question.

I heard a beep and looked up. It was R2-D2. 'Hey R2, nice to see you back in one piece.' I said. 'Where have you been?'
'Beep boop.'
