Comatose (Ahsoka X Axle)

Lies

Axle's POV

"AHSOKA LOOK OUT!!!!!" I screamed and pleaded as a gigantic Krayt Dragon shot up from the dirt. Ahsoka stood there motionless. There was fear and sadness in her eyes. She looked up at the giant eel. I ran as fast as I could toward her, but every step I took pushed her further away. The dragon gave another large roar. "AHSOKA!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled once again. She slowly turned her head to face me. Her whole body was shaking in terror. I saw small tears running down her face. I ran faster, but there was nothing I could do. "Axle...." She stuttered in horror, "Help me." The dragon gave another roar and dove down onto Ahsoka and ate her whole. She screamed and cried until her voice was silent. "AHSOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I exploded off the bed. Ahsoka's screams echoed in my mind. My lungs took in as much air as they could with each breath. I heard a soft moan and I turned towards the bed to see Ahsoka still asleep. I fell to my knees in relief. It was only a dream. Oh God. It was only a dream. I'm losing my mind. That didn't happen. She is still here with me. I slowly got back in bed and pulled the blankets on top of us. I wrapped my arms around Ahsoka's sleeping body and held her tightly as I drifted back off to sleep.

Ahsoka's POV

I woke up to a cold breeze that flowed in from the cracks in the wooden door. I angled my head upward to see Axle's face asleep. His arms held me close to him. I moved even closer and kissed his unconscious lips. So much warmth flooded through my body. I brushed my lekku against his chest and closed my eyes at his touch. There was a lot of unease coming from him. I opened my eyes again and looked up at him. He still was sound asleep, but I could sense pain. I slowly placed my hand on his forehead and closed my eyes concentrating on the force. 

I saw myself motionless in front of a the krayt dragon. "Axle.....Help me." I stuttered. I could hear his cries, "AHSOKAAAAA!!!!!!!" I screamed and felt the pain and death from my dragon consuming my body. He fell to his knees and sobbed to himself. I couldn't believe what I just saw. I ran over to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. Axle jumped up and looked into my eyes, "I....I saw you die." I pulled him in and kissed his somber lips, "I would never leave you." 

My eyes opened and I was back on the bed. I felt his arm move up and down against my back. I looked up to see his eyes slowly open. We didn't say a word. We both knew what we were thinking.

Axle's POV

The Mayor wants that dragon dead, but why? His city is protected by the giant wall and the dragon never tried to break it. There's something going on that doesn't make sense. The dragon doesn't come out and attack unless someone is on the outside of the wall. 

I stood on top of the large barrier. It was quite on the outside, but on the inside the people were bustling about. Some guards approached me, "Sir, the Mayor asks when you will slay the beast." I turned to face them, "You tell your Mayor that I will Do what needs to be done when I'm ready." Both of them seemed a little frightened by my answer. They quickly nodded and left. I still couldn't make this out. Why would the dragon need to die if it posed no threat to anyone in the city? No living thing has to die out of no reason. Something wasn't right and I had to find out why.

 I snuck over to the Mayor's building. It was still early in the morning so I would still have some darkness for cover. The wind was as cold as ever. It almost felt like Ilum, but without the snow. My tared and shredded clothes did little use against it. I snuck past the guards with ease and slipped inside of the building.

It was too quiet inside. I saw paintings on the wall of three wolves. The Black Wolf on the left, the White Wolf on the right, and the Grey Wolf in the middle. It was the only wall in the room that was decorated. I sensed something off about the three wolves. Like something was going on behind them. I reached out and touched the Grey Wolf's nose. 

Suddenly, the wall lowered to the ground revealing a hidden stairs that leads downwards. I flinched for a second, but was surprised at the discovery. The only way to get some answers was to go down those stairs. I ignited my saber and walked into the dark tunnel.

It wasn't long before I could hear machinery a few meters below me. The stairs came to a stop and I walked into a very brightly lit factory. I dove for cover when some guards walked near. I couldn't let them see me until I figure out what's going on. I moved quietly over to a large metal machine and took notice of what was being manufactured. I couldn't believe it. Battle droids? The Mayor is building an army of battle droids? Is he with the Separatists? This isn't good. 

"I assure you my lord, the Jedi cannot stand up against our weapon." I heard a voice say and I jumped back into the shadows. The voice continued to get closer, "A Jedi was almost killed by our Krayt Dragon. And he as no clue it was a droid." It was the Mayor. The Krayt Dragon is a droid? What the hell is going on here?

A new voice spoke up, "That may be true, but that Jedi was already injured and was exhausted before the fight began. I will not fund your project until you can assure me that this weapon can kill an army of fully trained Jedi who are not in the slighted bit wounded or tired. However, your plan to manipulate them was very impressive so I will continue this deal until otherwise." You have got to be kidding me. It was Dooku.
