Star Wars the Clone Wars: The Wolf Blood Knight (Fives x OC)

Escape from Kadavo

AN: Apologies but this chapter may be a bit short 

Vetera's POV

Miraj had me in my Loth-Wolf form and had me trapped in a kennel after stripping me of my armor and weapons, leaving me in my under robes and black body glove. I pace, not knowing if my friends and brothers were ok. I pace and apparently the guards didn't like my pacing when they launch their whips at me and i snarl in pain, feeling the whips dig into my skin. I go to attack, but another guard swings his whip and it wraps around my neck, making me yelp as i was suddenly stopped and i fell onto my back, coughing a bit.

"Don't get any ideas, Wolf Jedi scum." the slaver says and i snarl, before they begin to beat me, but i don't fight back. If i do, Ahsoka, Krux, Rex, Cruiser and Crasher might suffer for any rebellion i put up. I will not be the cause of the suffering of my friends or the colonists from Kiros! I don't know how long the beating lasted, but it felt like forever. When it finally ended, i was barely breathing and my eyes were shut. The guards left me and i curl up, beginning to lick my wounds until i could see a medic and they could properly fix me up.

A few days later

I had seen the Republic ship and had limped/run on all four of my paws as fast as i could.

"General Vetera!" Krux says when he sees me and kneels down, hugging me as i run to him and i was rubbing my head against him. He pulls away slightly and sees my blood-caked fur and the wounds and his blood-stained hands and arms, along with my malnourished form.

"Oh, General, what did they do to you?" he asks gently, before removing the muzzle that had been put on me the day before and the collar as well. Allowing me to slowly become my human form, but it wasn't much better than my wolf form had been. My back was a mess of wounds and i could feel that the back of my robes and body glove were mere rags and barely hanging in there. I was glad that the men found my armor and weapons so they wouldn't be left behind.

"General!" i hear Cruiser's horrified voice and i turn my head to see him behind me, his wide eyes locked on my back.

"It's not as bad as it looks." I say, trying to calm him down, but it seems i did the exact opposite of calming down, i think i made them even more panicked. And i think it did the same to Krux too.

"Not as bad as it looks? Not as bad as it looks?! Are you kidding me, General?!" Krux asks me.

"I agree with Krux, there is no way that you're fine! He, Rex and I are going to demand a full scan, and even then I demand you go to the Halls of Healing!" Cruiser says and he sounds positively furious.

"Alright, as soon as we get to the cruiser, I'll go to the medical bay to get treated." I say, hopinh to calm the three of them down.

"Good, and we're going with you to make sure that you do." Crasher says and i nod as i stand up slowly to avoid hurting my back than it already was. Krux takes my bruised and scraped arm, draping it over his shoulders so i can walk easier and i smile in thanks. He smiles back, before we begin heading back to the cruiser and he, Cruiser, Crasher and i enter the cruiser, before i begin heading toward the medical bay that was assigned to us with them.

Third Person POV

Vetera was in a bacta tank, unconscious as she drifts suspended in the fluid with an oxygen mask on her face. She was wearing a tank top and shorts, but they showed off how thin she had become during her time on Zygerria. Her elbows, collar bone and knees seemed to jut out sharply against her skin, her ribs doing the same under her tank top. The bacta was doing it's job but the scars from the whippings would always remain, thin and almost invisible, but there. Even if they weren't, no one would be able to forget what had happened to the General of the 125th, who cared about the Clones as did her Jedi brothers. It really pissed off the medics and Commander Wolffe that something like this had happened. Not just to the kind generals, Cruiser and Rex, but to the Togruta as well. The medics were pumping Vetera full of nutrients and proteins to get her back to a healthy weight. They were even preparing a strict diet that would help her recover once she was out of the bacta tank. Krux came in to check on his sister in all but blood and turns to the head medic.

"How is she?" Krux asks the medic.

"She's stable, we can take her out in a few more hours." the medic replies as he looks at the data pad in his hand.

"I thought she'd be coming out sooner." Krux admits to the medic.

"I want to keep her in that tank until i know she can wake up without everything hurting. She's mostly healed by now and technically, we can remove her from the tank but my fellow medics and i agree that a few more hours in the tank will ensure everything stays healed. From what i hear, once she's out she will attempt to make sure General Skywalker, Commander Tano, Captain Rex, Captain Cruiser and yourself are alright." the medic replies.

"That's my General for you. As soon as she's able to after a tough mission, she goes to make sure everyone else is alright before settling down for the recovery process to finish." Krux says as he chuckles softly. Vetera had a kind heart and cared deeply for the men as if they had been her blood brothers, so it was natural for her to make sure everyone was alright. To her, everyone is a member of her pack and she needs to make sure everyone is ok, it's her basic instinct and one of her desires to make sure everyone is ok. Krux puts his hand on the bacta tank glass, pressing his forehead against it and using the Force to connect with his sister.

"Ve'ganir jate'shya Nusujii, vod. (Get better soon, sister.)" Krux says softly, before leaving to let his sister recover and to check on the men and Togruta, knowing his sister would be just fine with the medics making sure she was healing properly.
