     I didn't know what to do. All I know is that I had to get to a ship. I wanted to think that nobody was following me, but I was exposed. Also, I wanted to think that Leia and Matt were okay, but anything is possible in this world. Squads of Stormtroopers we're following me, but I managed to outrun them so far. When I finally got to a ship, I jumped on without a second thought to whose it was. I knew I needed to leave this place. Coming here was a mistake. It was important for the Rebellion, but maybe coming back was a mistake.
     Was it really a mistake though? I honestly didn't know anymore. While thinking all of this, I hardwired the ship and took off. What I didn't know, was that the Stormtroopers called Tie fighters to my position. Now, it was time to disappear. I wanted to apologize to Leia for leaving her, but I think she knew, I had no choice. I had no choice. If I did. If I wanted to have a choice, I would've stayed. I would've been executed knowing that I put up a good fight in this life.
     There were fighters following me, I didn't know the exact number. I didn't want to know because it would probably scare me, bad. There were two Star Destroyers near by, deploying more fighters. I thought, this would be the end of me. Over twenty Tie Fighters and two Star Destroyers, I wasn't going to survive this. But, somehow I did. Adrenaline kicked in and I knew what I had to do. I increased the speed of the ship to full and I went in between the Destroyers. Most people would think I'm completely insane for doing that, but I didn't give a care in the world. They could've activated the tractor beam, got me, and killed me, right then and there. But, they weren't fast enough. I inputted the coordinates of a place where I could hide, and I activated my hyperdrive. I was gone in two seconds. They were probably angry at me, or disappointed at themselves, or scared that Vader was going to kill them for their failure. I was going to take control of my own life, and I didn't care if anyone else didn't like it.
     I put the ship on autopilot, and look around the ship because it wasn't exactly mine. I saw a Droid that wasn't activated in the corner and a bunch of papers. Turns out the person that owned this ship has a lot of paperwork for his job. The one thing that got my attention though, was a file. One file sitting on the corner, labeled Ahsoka Tano. Now, I knew this person was an Imperial. I also knew I had to see this file and then, destroy it.
     I walked over to the file and I picked it up gently. I was scared of what I was going to see. Was I going to see everything that I have been doing since Order 66? I didn't know. I opened the file and the first thing I saw was my genetic information. That I was a Togruta and that I was from Shili. Nothing major yet, but that was just the beginning. I continued flipping through pages, seeing that this was like a biography of my whole life, even when I was off the grid. It was terrifying to see. The fact that there was a stalker my whole life, that was scary and creepy. A feeling of disgust came up and I started to feel queasy to my stomach. Why the hell didn't I notice it? Why didn't I notice someone watching me my whole life? They even got down in this file the time I was captured by Trandoshan bounty hunters. They got down Kalifa's death. That was what made me tear up. They wrote down Kalifa's death. That's when I came up with a final conclusion. Out of anger, I thought, I'm not going to let them win. I won't let them win. Today for me, the Rebellion, the Revolution, begins. This time, they will not take me down. I will burn them to the ground.
