Shattered Mind: Ahsoka Tano

Chapter 3

     Ahsoka woke to the sound a fairly loud knocking on her door. Not wanting to wake up, she simply pulled the covers over her head and tried to dismiss the rapid fist banging.

" Ahsoka I know you're up! Time to go to classes!" Anakin's voice echoed through the metal.

Draping a blanket over her body, Ahsoka crawled out of the comfort of her warm cozy bed. She was dreading the thought of getting humiliated in front of everyone that day.

Instead of getting ready, she decided to play sick. Slowly, she wobbled out of her room and sat at the small island.

" Master?" she croaked.

Anakin appeared from behind the open fridge door.

" Ahsoka why aren't you dressed. You need to leave in less than twenty minutes." he chastised.

Ahsoka put on the best sick face she could.

" I'm not feeling too great. Can I skip classes today?"

Anakin raised an eyebrow at her and crossed his arms. Ahsoka could see that he was not buying it.

" Snips, I can tell you're faking." he said in an unimpressed tone.

Ahsoka looked down at the granite counter top and traced the small designs with her fingers.

Worth a try.

" Is there a reason why you don't want to go to class today." he asked.

Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because everyone hates me, they make fun of me and bully me physically and verbally.

" I dunno." was the answer she gave him while still not taking her gaze of the interesting counter.

" That's not a good enough answer Snips, until you can think of a better one you need to go." 

Ahsoka always thought that he acted like a parent sometimes more than her Master. In situations like these she found it quite annoying, other than that she was grateful for his support.

" Fine." she replied coldly and got up to get ready.

" Ahsoka, wait. I can sense there's something else on your mind. Is that the reason you don't want to go?"

Ahsoka bit her lip, refusing to tell him what was bothering her. 

" It's nothing Master." she hurried off to her room again.

She threw her blanket on her bed and got dressed into her usual Jedi uniform. 

After she brushed her teeth and packed her things, she anxiously left for her class.

Anakin watched as his Padawan exited their quarters. He was worried for her. He thought that maybe it was because of what happened the night before, but now he wasn't so sure.

" You can tell me anything Snips." he said as the door slid shut.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Class was boring per usual. Other than a few spit balls hitting her in the back of the lekku, she was willing to check her day off as okay.

As she was packing up a few of her classmates came up to her. Sion, Kenth, a Tholothian girl named Kandri and a Rodian named Tiiona all stood around her. 

For once she wished the instructor hadn't left already.

" Not so fast Soka." Kandri sneered at her.

No one besides Plo had ever called her Soka. It was her special name that meant she was loved. It wasn't supposed to make her feel angry.

Ahsoka locked eyes with her.

" Don't call me that." she said firmly.

" Aww did Lil'Soka not like that." Tiiona made a pouting face.

" Don't ever call me that again!" Ahsoka said this time with a much louder voice.

" Big mistake Tano." Kenth grabbed her already sore arm and pinned it behind her back. This time she screamed in pain.

Sion held her still with the help from the force while Tiiona and Kandri used their combat training on her.

To say it hurt wasn't even close enough to describe the pain. It was truly excruciating.

Kenth clamped his hand over her mouth to keep her from shouting. All it did was muffle her screams for help.

Blood started seeping out of the gashes on her face. Bruises were going to cover her body for sure, it had already started to form on the white part of her lekku.

Right before another punch landed on her, Ahsoka hit her head back in Kenth's face causing him to release her.

Sion stopped using the force to go check on his friend. Tiiona and Kandri stepped back as Ahsoka was now free.

Ahsoka used a powerful force push knocking them both off their feet and into the classroom wall.

She raced out and sprinted back to her quarters and thrust open the door, not caring that her Master was inside.

Anakin jumped up from the couch and his paper work.

" Ahsoka, whats wrong!?" he almost screamed because he didn't know what was going on. 

He chased Ahsoka into her room, but found that she had locked herself in her bathroom.

" Ahsoka! Open this door! What happened?!" he half yelled.

" Go away Anakin!" Ahsoka's voice cracked.

" No, i'm not leaving until I know whats wrong!" Anakin accidentally shouted.

" Please Master, I want to be alone." a more quieter voice pleaded.

" I can't do that Snips."

He respectfully didn't barge in the first time, but now he felt that he had the right to. He used the force to open the lock.

" Ahsoka..." he gasped in horror.

Ik its a little shorter than the last 2 chapters but oh well. Happy Friday Ya'll!
