Welcome to Death Watch

Chapter Four

On Carlac, sleep might as well not exist. I tossed and turned all night, it was way to cold to get any rest.
My anger was growing by the minute. First, I save Lux and he gets mad at me for it, then he stuns me and takes me to an ice planet and kisses me. Then he gets me involved with the death watch! I was so furious with him, I was basically up all night thinking about the possible ways I could escape.
First I would need to find Artoo, wherever he was.
If Lux was so sure that Deathwatch wouldn't kill him, let him stay here. But I knew I couldn't do that, I knew I was developing feelings for him. Right now they just seemed to be more negative than positive. There was a small hole in the tent; I stared out into the snow the whole night. When I saw a hint of light on the horizon, I was wide awake; I stood up and left the tent. I walked around, trying to stay out of sight from the stray Deathwatch members wandering around. Come on, Artoo. Where are you? I turned a corner and bumped into none other than. . ."Ahsoka, I need to talk to you." Lux said.

"What about?" I asked cruelly.

"Why are you so angry with me?" Lux asked. 

Oh my God, he is so stupid!

"You basically kidnapped me and got me involved with Deathwatch!" I nearly screamed.

"Is that how you see it?" Lux asked.

"Yes!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry, Ahsoka. But I never meant for you to be here." Lux replied.

"That's why I'm leaving!" I snapped.

"You're leaving?" Lux asked, he sounded upset.

"Yes I am. Why do you think I'm out here? I'm looking for Artoo." I replied, looking away from him.

"What's so bad about this place? Why can't you stay?" Lux asked.

Oh my God, I can't believe he just asked that! "It sounds like you want me to stay." I said, trying to sound mean.

"I do." Lux replied, looking at the floor. Why would he want me to stay? Does he have feelings for me? "Why can't you?"

"Lux," I said, crossing my arms. "I'm surrounded by an organization that wants all Jedi in the universe dead. How would you feel if you were surrounded by a group of people that wanted you dead and they didn't really know who you were?"

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out. Then we were interrupted by a Deathwatch soldier. "Time to go." He said in a raspy voice.

Panic crossed my face, and Lux seemed to have noticed. "What's wrong, Ahsoka?"

"Something bad is going to happen." I replied.

Lux put his arm around me; he was trying to be comforting, but I squirmed away anyway. "Don't do that." I said.

"Nothing bad is going to happen." Lux said, trying to sound convincing. But I knew it wasn't true. Something was going to happen, and it wasn't going to be good.

Another soldier came back and asked, "You coming or not?"

Lux sighed, "Yes."

I looked down and followed him to one of their land speeders. I got on board the one that held the other women. I sat in silence as we rode through the snow covered landscape. When we reached the small village there were several of the inhabitants waiting for us. I got off of the speeder and stood next to Lux. "Thank you for returning our people, we are very grateful for your understanding." When I saw a few Deathwatch soldiers fly with their jetpacks and land on the tops of the buildings, I was positive something bad was going to happen.

Vizsla grabbed Tryla by the arm and gave shoved towards the chief, "I am a man of my word. Here is your granddaughter." He pulled something out of his backpack. "As promised." Then he ignited it to reveal a darksaber, then he stabbed Tryla as she yelled "No!"

"Tryla!" I ran forward and knelt down next to her body on the ground. I heard Vizsla behind me.

"Kill them! Kill them all!" He demanded. The Deathwatch soldiers ignited their flamethrowers and began to burn the village. I was about to lose it. My anger kept building.

"What... what are you doing?" I heard Lux ask. Oh, so NOW he realizes that the Deathwatch are murderers.

"Never let the weak tell you what to do!" Vizsla announced. He raised his sword. "Welcome to Deathwatch!"

I felt like my head was going to explode, I was so mad.
"Save them, Ahsoka....Save them.... Save my people..." Tryla managed say. Then her eyes went cold and she died in my arms.

I had to do something...But I couldn't.
As much as I wanted to, I couldn't stop the death watch. My body just wouldn't move.
I closed my eyes, and sighed.
I knew if I attacked the death watch I would blow my cover. I was outnumbered... Especially without my lightsabers.
I fought back against the part of me who didn't care anymore, the part of me who wanted to avenge the people of this village. I couldn't. I have to play my part, despite how much I hated EVERYONE right now.
I whiped my head around to look at lux, who was still standing helplessly beside Vizsla, watching the village burn.
He caught my eye and I glared at him, only to receive his 'what do you expect me to do' look.
After the majority of the village has burned to ash, and no one was left screaming, Vizsla shouted for his warriors to fallow back to camp.
I managed to stand and get on the back of a speeder with a death watch soldier.
We sped off back to camp, a few warriors keeping pace with us in the air.
At this point, I highly doubted Lux's plan was going to succeed.
