Fall of the Chosen One

Chapter 2

 Ahsoka jolted awake from a nightmare. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of her bed, gasping.

She was back in her and Anakin's shared quarters in the Jedi Temple. It was about a week since they had returned from Geonosis.

She rubbed her eyes and got up, determined to not allow the nightmare to distract her. It was a terrible one, sure. But she's sure that it was simply a wild dream caused by her fears and worries. It wasn't uncommon.

As soon as she exited her quarters, there was a knock at the main door. Sensing that her master wasn't here, Ahsoka headed towards it.

The door slid open, revealing Barriss on the other side.

"Oh! Hello, Barriss," She smiled.

The girl smiled back at her. "Hello, Ahsoka. May I come in?"

Ahsoka gave a nod and moved out of the way to allow Barriss entry. They both headed for her quarters and sat down on her bed. Barriss turned and seemed to be studying her expression intently.

"Are you alright? You seem a bit worried."

Ahsoka sighed and faced her. She knew that she could trust Barriss with pretty much anything. She was practically her closest friend after all; besides for Anakin.

"I'm fine..I just had a..dream..last night. It was strange."

"Do you wish to talk about it?" Barriss asked.

Ahsoka nodded. "I'll tell you."

Then, she began to explain what she had seen in her dreams.

A dark, hooded figure stood in the Chancellor's office. Ahsoka was unable to see the figure's face clearly, but could easily make out the disturbing smile that the figure had across its face.

A man was knelt down on the floor in front of him. There was no dialogue whatsoever between the two. It was eerily creepy. She couldn't make out who the man on the floor was either, as she was stood; and pretty much frozen, behind him.

The hooded figure spoke something, then the man that was previously knelt down stood. A few moments later the man nodded stiffly and turned to leave the room. Before Ahsoka could see his face however, the scene switched.

She was on Felucia now, she noticed. In her sight was Aayla Secura, someone whom she considered a friend as well. Though, it's been a while since they had seen each other. A few clones stood behind her as they began to walk. Then, suddenly they opened fire and Aayla fell to the ground. Ahsoka tried to scream, but found herself incapable of creating any sound whatsoever.

Then, it switched again. She noticed Commander Cody almost immediately. He held up a hologram of a hooded figure, similar, and likely the same, to the one she had seen in the previous dream. This time, she heard his voice.

"It will be done, my lord."

Then, a few moments later, which seemed like hours to Ahsoka.

"Blast 'em!"

The cannon fired, and she noticed with horror that they had shot toward Master Kenobi. He, and the creature he was on fell toward the water below.

Then, it switched once again.

This time it was Master Plo, and Ahsoka felt utter horror begin to swallow her whole. He was in his fighter, and suddenly he was being shot at as well.

His fighter went down and crashed. Ahsoka knew that he was dead and cried out, mentally, in grief.

Then it ended.

As Ahsoka finished telling about her dream, she felt a few tears start to sting her eyes, she quickly wiped them away and muttered a quick, "sorry."

Barriss only smiled at her. "It's okay, Ahsoka. I'd probably react the same way."

Ahsoka smiled. "Thank you.."

"It's quite difficult to tell the difference between visions and simple dreams. I think you should wait to see if they continue or worsen, then possibly speak to Master Yoda."

Ahsoka nodded in reply. "That sounds like a good idea. Thank you, Barriss."

Barriss nodded. "Unfortunately, I must get going. But I'll see you later, Ahsoka," She placed a hand on Ahsoka's shoulder as she walked out of her quarters.

As Ahsoka sat alone in her quarters, she continued to think over the dream.

The clones turning on the Jedi? That couldn't possibly happen..

It was probably just a dream. Though, she couldn't assume so quickly. They could easily worsen or continue just as fast.

She stood up and walked out into the halls of the Temple. Turning slightly, she saw her Master walking toward her.

"Hey, Snips," He greeted.

"Hello, Master," Ahsoka replied as she turned and walked back into her and Anakin's shared quarters. "Did we get any new missions?"

Anakin shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. They're considering putting us on a meditative retreat. Of course, it would be nice to relax for a while.."

Ahsoka nodded in agreement. "It would, but are you sure you'd be able to handle yourself without action?" She smirked slightly.

"Maybe," Anakin replied while casting a quick smile her way. "I'll find something to do."

"Like tinker with your fighter?" Ahsoka asked.

"Hm, maybe. If it needs tinkering."

"To you, it always needs tinkering. I see you fixing or upgrading it all the time."

Anakin chuckled. "Well, I suppose you're not exactly wrong."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "That's a first.."

"I'm going to go get some sleep. Can't wait to see what the council has planned for us tomorrow.." Anakin muttered as he headed toward his own room.

"Yea, me too," Ahsoka replied as she turned to head toward hers.

Me too..
