You Promised (Rexsoka)

Chapter Twenty-Six

     Ahsoka didn't want to, but she had to. She thrust her hands out in front of her and pushed Rex to the farthest side of the room. He hit the wall with enough impact to knock him out. Ahsoka stared at the hole in her wall from where Rex had shot, barely missing the side of her abdomen.

She was in utter shock.

" Rex."

Ahsoka crouched down beside him, picking his hand up, rubbing the back of it. " Rex, what happened?"

She picked him up and placed him on the bed. She sat down next to him and cried. She examined the second wound that was added to his head. After taking a deep breath she commed her master.

" Hey Snips, what's up?"

" Master," her voice quivered.

" Ahsoka? What's wrong?"

Ahsoka sniffled, but kept going, " Can you come to my room please?"

" I'm on my way. I'll be there soon."

     " Was that Ahsoka?" Padme asked, standing in the doorway watching as her husband dropped the droid parts he was working on. Anakin practically jumped at her voice.

" Yeah. I don't know what's wrong. I think she was crying. She asked for me to come to her quarters." He scrambled to get his robe on.

" Is she in trouble?" Padme was now concerned.

" I-I don't know. I need to go. I'll tell you if it's something really bad." Anakin gave her a quick peck on the lips and rushed out.

Padme's heart ached, " Be careful...both of you."

     Anakin cut in between other speeders getting angry gestures from the drivers.

" Sorryyy," he mumble not sincerely, " Almost there Snips."

He pressed the accelerator and dodged more and more speeders. If Obi Wan were with him, he would surely be dead. Anakin pulled up to the temple and jumped out of the speeder. He felt like he was running a marathon. He punched in his password to get into their quarters and finally stood outside Ahsoka's private room.

" Ahsoka! I'm here!" He leaned on the wall for a second to catch his breath. He heard the lock click, so he went inside. Ahsoka was next to Rex, who was unconscious. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

" Is Rex okay?" He went over to her.

" Something happened Master. He-he wasn't himself or something." She started hyperventilating.

" Whoa, calm down. Tell me what happened."

Ahsoka couldn't find the words to tell him, so she pointed to the wall.

Anakin's eyes widened when he saw the blaster mark plastered by the door. Something inside him snapped. He was suddenly hostile towards his captain.

" He tried to hurt you?!" he spat, his words like venom.

Ahsoka shook her head, " He would never. I know him better than that, something was making him."

Anakin wanted to believe her, but he was so confused by everything, " Are you sure?"

" Yes. He was shaking. He didn't want to. It looked like he was trying to resist."

" Resist what?"

Ahsoka shrugged her shoulders not wanting to relive the memory.

Anakin looked at Rex. He was stirring a bit. His eyelids fluttered.

" Snips, get behind me." He stood in front of her, shielding her in case of the worst.

Rex woke up, his head was pounding again which just added to his previous headache. He placed a hand on the sore spot as he sat up only to be greeted by a vibrant blue saber in front of his face.

Sorry just found some typos that really irked me. Idk if it shows up as an update.
