Ashla

Chapter Four

When Ashla got to the scene, it was even worse then she thought. Kanan and the Inquisitor's light sabers were clashing with each other, making a noise so loud it could be heard all the way across the desert. Ezra was lying unconscious next to a rock. Even from a distance, she could still tell he was alive, though she didn't know how she knew that. The Inquisitor was practically on top of Kanan. She felt someone grab her arm. She struggled, but the grip on her arm got tighter.

"Ashla, what are you doing?" Hedala hissed in Ashla's ear.

"We have to help them!" Ashla said, "They're going to die if we don't do something!" The Inquisitor had just used the force to throw Kanan onto the ground and was walking towards them.

"Alright, I might be able to do something," Hedala said, "It was the only thing I was doing in private to prevent myself from dying of boredom." Just as the Inquisitor was about to step on Kanan to prevent him from getting up, Hedala raised her hand, and the Inquisitor was lifted into the air.

"Wow!" Ashla said.

"Something I picked up from your mother," Hedala said. Ashla was a bit jealous.

"She actually taught you how to do that?" Ashla said.

"Well, no. I saw her do it to save my relatives from falling off of the crates once, and I taught myself how to do it. Although, I've never tried it on an actual person or whatever this thing is," Hedala said, "Now, where shall we put him?"

"How about on that rock?" Ashla said, "Oh wait, then he might crush Ezra. Oh let's put him on that other rock." She pointed to another rock not far away from where they were. Hedala slowly guided him to the rock, and dropped him on it.

Kanan slowly got up. He sensed Hedala and Ashla's force signatures nearby. They were both strong in the force, but Ashla seemed slightly stronger in the Force than Ashla, but only slightly. Too bad he couldn't do a Midi-chlorian count to compare the two.

"I told you to go back to the ship," Kanan said.

"We couldn't just leave you here!" Ashla said.

"You know, you remind me of Ezra," Kanan said, "Now come on, let's get him back to the ship." So, they picked up Ezra and left.
