A new beginning

«Zilla…?» King Anakin took off his crown, while his face turned miserable, «But where is Ahsoka then?»

Zilla looked down,

«I don’t know… your majesty.» doing a curtsey.

Anakin walked closer to her,

«I’m sorry. I’m the one who made the mistake here. It is because of me that she’s gone.»

Zilla looked confused at him,

«Beg your pardon?» rising one eyebrow.

«Zilla…» he sighed as he layed one hand on her shoulder, «I didn’t realise that when I got rid of you, I… I would also lose your sister…»

The padawan raised her head, loking straight at him,

«Well, what are you going to do about that?»

«I don’t deserve this position…» he tried. Sounding humble.

Zilla blinked,

«Well why don’t you just give it back to David then?»

Anakin gasped,

«What?»

«Yeah. You took winterland from him, I’m just saying.»

«You… want me to give it back?» setting the crown back upon his head as he looked shocked upon her.

«It your choice, your majesty.»

Anakin walked past her,

«No.» turning to face her again, «That’s some bad advice coming from you.»

 

 

Hagar sighed. Looking down at Isha, before she hurried away from her, like as if she had been burned. Rising quickly to her feet again,

«I’m sorry, sister. You may be royal, but I’m not. We don’t have the same mother.»

Isha also rose up,

«I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t had upset you…»

«That’s alright.» looking around, «Where’s Amanda?»

 

 

Ahsoka had come to the end of the flower-field, and then she jumped off the cliff, leaping into the air. Just like the shadow had said. But then she heard behind her,

«Not like that, your fool.»

And then she fell. Falling down, into nothing.

«Aaaaa…»

With her eyes closed shut, and with nothing with thin, empty air around her, she suddenly blacked out.

And down, down, she fell.

Not Ahsoka

Hagar, Isha and Amanda leapt through that open portal and rolling down that grassy field in Hasar-Adar. Leaving Hondo behind with Abid in the real world.

Hagar was ontop on Isha, grabbing her by the throat, punching her in the face,

«So you think you’re a princess, huh?»

«Yes! And so are you.»

«Nonsense!» putting up a knife, «We have always been pirates!»

Amanda stood with her axe in her hand, watching them, crying out,

«Stop it! Stop acting like villains! Sisters is supposed to support each other!»

Hagar turned her gaze at her, tears in her eyes,

«Stay out of this, you…»

 

Zilla stood on the castles balcony, looking out into the night, sighing.

King Anakin walked in on her, placing his hand on her shoulder,

«Something you want to tell me, Snips?»

«No, master.» not even looking at him.

Anakin took place by her side, also looking into the night,

«Ahsoka…» sighing, «Lately you have been acting so…»

Zilla turned her gaze at him,

«Acting so what?»

«You… I can tell you have not been yourself since you came back. Is anything bothering you.»

Zilla sighed heavily, before turning away from him with a burdened heart,

«It…»

«You can tell me everything, you know.»

«Yes… I.» she tried to look at him again, but couldn’t realy look him in the eyes, «I’m not sure that I can… I’m sorry.»

«Tell me, padawan.»

But Zilla walked back inside again. She turned and gazed back at him,

«You wouldn’t like to hear it…»

«But you have to get it off your chest! Now tell me and let us move on!»

Zilla looked down at the floor,

«I’m not who you think I am… I’m not Ahsoka.»

 

Zilla or Ahsoka

The shadow opened the door for her, and she saw a great flower-field.

«Now run!» it told her, «Run as fast as you can and don’t ever look back.» giving her a push through the door, «And when you reach the end off the cliff, you jump!»

«Jump unto what?» Ahsoka asked, confused.

«Run!» the shadow of Anakin shouted, «No questions! Just run! It will get you out of here. Run! Before it is to late. Before you get doomed to this place forever.»

Ahsoka started running, hearing the shadow shouting after her,

«And don’t look back!»

 

 

Zilla slowly approched the throne, seeing him sitting there.

King Anakin, with his little daughter Leia on his lap. The five year old little princess.

It was early in the morning. Anakin was telling his daughter a tale, while Zilla stopped in front off them, ready to reveal her pressence.

They haven’t even spotted her yet, or had they?

Zilla chose to speak up, saying the first thing that came to her mind,

«Its an extraordinary daughter you have there, your majesty.» doing a little bow before she stood upright on her feet.

But the king didn’t lift his gaze towards her, immediately,

«It seems we have a customer.» he said to Leia, «What do you say to go and play with Luke?»

«All he care about is his…»

«Or would you rather stay here and watch?»

«I don’t know. Maybe I go and wake him up…» looking towards the stranger beneath them, «If we got a customer, he don’t wanna miss it.» and so she went down from his lap and ran away.

Finaly the king raised his gaze towards Zilla. But he couldn’t see who she was, because she had her hood over her head, which covered the most of her face.

«Why hast thou cometh before thy king today?»

Anakin formally began.

Zilla throwed her hood back and raised her head to look upon him. A person different from the one she remembered. Or was he different? Or was it only a camouflage he covered himself with, whenever he sat on his throne?

But as they eyes met, the kings eyes widened, and he stood up on his feet, slowly,

«A-Ahsoka?» shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, he began walking down the stairs towards her, «Is that really you?

Zilla bit her tongue, feeling uncertain. Uncomfortable, with no idea of what to say.

The best thing was to be honest, even if… she so much didn’t want to hurt his feelings,

«No…» she let out, «No, sir… your majesty I mean.»

But Anakin gently grabbed her forearms as he reached her, as if handling a porcelain-doll that could easily break,

«Ahsoka…» he slowly embraced her before looking her in the eyes, «Ahsoka…» he repeated, «I…»

«Sir, no, sir…» Zilla tried, but she got interubted.

«Ahsoka.» he smiled. A warm smile that lightened up his whole face, «Words cannot describe how glad I am to see you again. After all those years, and you haven’t aged one bit.»

«It has only been three weeks, sir.» Zilla answeared, «But I must say that you look older.»

The King chuckled,

«The time is different in this world, Snips.»

Zilla immediately turned her gaze down, as she took some steps back from him. He had just called her Snips, which where the nickname he only used on Ahsoka. She laid her hand over her heart, breathing heavily. He would never call her that if he knew who she was. She felt his hand, softly touch her shoulder,

«What’s the matter, apprentice?» he wondered, «Care to join us for breakfast?»

To play someone else

He haven’t been able too save his mother. Nor could he save his padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

He had been too late for them both, and it haunted him every night.

Not even his wife or his children could fill the hole in his heart that the loss of them caused. No one could. Which was why he had to figure out a way to get them back.

As he laid there in the royal bed, wondering, and couldn’t sleep, he stood up to leave the room, in silence.

He took one glance at Padme who laid there, sleeping as an angel before he went out the door.

 

Zilla ran through the forest of winter-land untill she reached the castle.

Anakins castle.

She put the hood over her head, ready too be Ahsoka.

She took a deep breath as she walked to the front door, her heart beating worringly.

She really shouldn’t do this, but she had to, too spare her life.

Ventress wouldn’t get too her, as long as she was with Anakin.

As long he believed she was Ahsoka, everything would be fine, and she wouldn’t die.

What would Ahsoka do if she was her right now? Would she knock on the door? Or would she just barge into the palace like she owned the place?

Zilla chose the first option, and knocked, but no one came too open, so she tried the handle, and it went down. The door was open.

Zilla perked hear head inside, and saw a vonderous corridor, with crystall crown-light under the roof, guards on everyside off the wall.

And on the bottom of the corridor, she shaw a throne, where some steps led up to it.

Zilla walked inside and closed the door beside her. Then she stood there for a moment, watching the guards as they all looked at her.

She closed her eyes, trying to wipe her fear away. She was Ahsoka now, and she had too be convincing, her life depended on it.

It shouldn’t be so difficult though, since she was her twin. But Anakin was smart though, if he could tell them appart before, he sure could…

No… Zilla couldn’t let herself have such thought, of what could go wrong. She simply had to play her role.

Ventress had told her everything she needed to know. Every detail of when Anakin had last seen Ahsoka, and off their last conversation together, so it should go fine… she only hoped.

And for Anakin, it had been years since he saw his padawan last time, so maybe he wouldn’t remember the difference between them.

What?

Amanda stood by the altar feeling bad about herself. She had betrayed her best friend, Zilla, letting Maul come along with her through the portal.

It haven’t occured to her that she only could had removed the book from the altar – getting the portal to vanish – hindering Maul from exit it.

But no… she hadn’t thought of that at the time… She had only thrown her axe at him, which of course hadn’t stopped him… and now…

She sighed deeply. If Zilla now was in danger because of Maul, it was all her fault.

But just as she thought her misery, couldn’t get any worser, she heard some voices, nearing the altar.

«As you all know.» Isha said, «I was originally a princess. And my older sister, were my guardian.»

Hagar made a scoffing laugh at her,

«You were? When? I never heard of that!»

Isha looked back at her,

«That’s because you got you memory wiped, we all have, but now…»

«Enough, sister!» Hagar confronted her, «You are just imaginating things. Why should I be your guardian?»

«Because you’re the oldest, and it is your job. We haven’t always been pirates you know.»

«Really?»

Isha sighed,

«Yes really.»

Hondo walked behind them,

«Oh, I don’t know about that.» he said, streching his back, «I been a captain as long as I know.»

They came out from the fog which they had been walking through, and could now see Amanda standing by the altar, with the portal open behind her,

«You definitely have been reading too many books, little sister.» Hagar laughed before pointing to Amanda, «Look what we have here.» turning her gaze to the portal, «What’s that?»

Leia and the royal school

«I want the very best for my daughter.» King Anakin said to the keeper of the royal school in the kingdom of Hasar-Adar, «If anything happens to her, you will be responsible.» he added with a darker tone.

The woman smiled down at the little princess who stood in the front of her father in her purple dress, his hands resting on her shoulder.

She looked back up at him again,

«I assure you your daughter will be safe in this school, o king.»

«She better be.» Anakin snapped, «Or you’ll die.»

Princess Leia turned to him,

«Father.» she began, «What about Luke? Shouldn’t he begin school?»

Anakin drew his fingers through her curly brown hair,

«I have other plans for him, my dear.» bending down to her, «But you’re gonna be the future queen. This school is important for ya.»

Leia sighed,

«Just don’t keep my brother away from me please! I don’t wanna rule alone… I thought we were in this together.»

King Anakin straightened up,

«Just be a good little princess, and do what I told ya, okay?»

Leia nodded blankly as she retold the rules to him,

«Keep your head up high… never cry… always be curious and strive to learn.»

Anakin stroked her on the head,

«Good.» turning around, «Now I must head back to the castle.» walking back to the royal carriage, «Farewell.»

The princess sighed as she saw her father walk away, feeling the womans hands touching her shoulders,

«Come now, princess. I’ll make a queen out of you.»

The choice

Alexa cried where she was bound to a chair in the fairy-kingdom. Seeing Abigail walking towards her with a green potion in her hands.

«I thought you fairies were good people!» she cried out.

«We are.» Abigail said in a calmly voice, «But we’re also loyal to the King of winter-land.»

Alexa stared at her through the tears,

«Did he tell you to do this? To maketh me small? To capture me?»

Abigail shaked her head,

«No. But he has said that whoever that is threatening us, we are allowed to deal with.»

Alexa bowed her head and sighed,

«I just want to go home to my mother.» looking up at her again, «Would you let me go?»

Abigail stood still for a moment, considering her plea, but then she shaked her head,

«No.» putting the potion up to her mouth, «Now drink up!»

«No! Please don’t do this!»

Zilla fell through the portal, rolling out on the grassy field.

Maul came after her, yelling, as he grabbed her tunic,

«Show that you’re worthy!» He tightened his fist, and held his arm back to knock her in the face. But just then, another pressence arrived, emergening from the shadow-lands: Ventress, the Queen of dark magic.

«Stop it, brother!» she hissed, «You wont lay a finger upon my pet!»

Maul realesed his hold of Zilla and turned around to face her,

«She’s not only yours. You know she’s mine also!»

Ventress just laughed at him,

«A master wouldn’t treat his apprentice like that.» looking down at the girl, «Get up, you scum! I have an important task for you!»

Zilla hurried back to her feet, and brushed off her clothes,

«Yes your majesty?» She fearsomly replied, «Where did you come from anyway? How did you know that we had arrived?»

Ventress looked at her with a wicked grin,

«No one enters Hasar-Adar, whitout me knowing it! Because I see all. Everything!» she frowned, «It turns out that Anakin, our beloved king of winter-land, just can’t get over Ahsoka.»

Zilla straightened up,

«Why’s that my problem?»

Ventress grabbed her cheecks, looking her in the eyes,

«I want you to go and cheer him up. You’ll have to pretend to be your sister.»

«What?» Zilla shaked her head and stepped back, «No! I can’t! He’ll see right through me!»

«No he wont! Because all he will be thinking off, is she. He will never know it is you.»

«But if he finds out… he’s gonna kill me.»

«We’ll be there to get you out before that happens. Now go! Off to winterland you go!»

«Please!» Zilla looked at her with sorrow, «You can’t ask this off me! It will be hurting my sister if I pretended to be her…»

«Ahsoka is dead, and she isn’t coming back. But king Anakin dosen’t realice that, so go! Or be dead as well.»

Zilla looked back at her,

«You don’t give me much choice!» and then she ran away.

 

END OF SEASON TWO…

Leia and the wolf

Little princess Leia, four years old, had gotten herself lost into the dark forest of winter-land, where her father, Anakin had forbiden her to go,

«You must never go there.» he had said, but Leia was a curious little being, she just wanted to have a little peek at it, she had no plans to actually walk into it. But that’s was what had happened; She now found herself deep inside the forest, and had lost trail of where she was. But she had her Lise-doll tucked to her chest, and she closed her eyes as she sang to her toy,

«Sleep, little Lise-doll, sleep and be grown.»

She heard some movement behind her, and opened her eyes in fear, and then she saw a wolf-man.

He was half wolf, half human. Had a human body, with a tail, and wolf-ears. His skin was animalistic, like a wolf-skin, and on his fingers, he had claws.

Leia stared at him, with open mouth, as he stared back at her,

«Who are you?» she asked, tucking the Lise-doll tighter to her chest.

The wolf-man smiled. A smile that only turned out to be a wicked grin,

«I’m Titi-Suru. The friendliest wolf you ever meet.» he said in a humbly tone as he bowed.

But Leia just shaked her head,

«I don’t think so.» she replied, «I think you are wicket. I think you are gonna eat me for lunch.»

Titi-Suru laughed,

«What an horrific idea! I would never do anything like that!»

Leia took some steps back,

«Oh, I know you will. You’re a wolf, and its your instincts.» she turned around and started running, but Titu-Suru shouted after her,

«Then you better know to never run from a wolf!»

 

Meanwhile in another world:

 

Amanda had found the altar which the book was to be placed on. The book that she had in her shaky hands.

She turned around and saw Zilla coming in full speed towards her, shouting,

«Place the book on the altar!» Maul had gotten to angry with her, and was now trying to execute her,

«You’re gonna show that you’re worthy of being my apprentice!» he roared as he raced after her in rage.

«Amanda!» Zilla yelled.

«I don’t want to go back to that world.» Amanda hesitated, holding the book over the altar.

«You don’t have to! Just open up the portal so I can escape!»

«What… what do you espect me to do?»

«Just hold him off…»

«I can’t…»

«You have to try!»

Amanda slammed the book down at the altar, and a portal opened between the two pillars behind it.

Zilla slipped through, and when Maul tried to follow, Amanda threw her axe at him, making him stop for a little moment at the pain when the blade entered his arm. He tucked it out and throwed it away,

«Your little… that wont stop me!» pushing her back with the force before he dissappeared through the portal.

Chasing after fairy went wrong

Little Alexandra, the sister of Amanda, and daughter of Chassandra, had now grown into a seven year old girl.

But since the time where different in her world, than it was in the world that Amamda was in for the moment, the results where that Amanda hadn’t grown at all, and was still twelve years old, which where exactly what she was when she had left.

«My little doll.» Chassandra used to call her precious little, Alexandra, «You’re beaty as a doll.»

Alexandra was now chasing the fairy Abigail, through the forest of summerland,

«Come back!» she shouted, «Come back to me! Don’t go away.»

«I’m not for you to keep.» Abigail reminded her as she flew away.

«But you are!» Alexandra insisted, «You’re my fairy-doll.»

«I’m not a toy.» pointing her wand at her, «And if you’re going continue to chase me like that. Perhaps I’m gonna teach you a lesson?»

«Don’t be like that, little fairy.» Alexandra said calmly, «What about I build you a little house, and then you can live in it?»

«No.» Magic whent out from her wand, hitting Alexandra, resulting in her shrienking.

Alexandra shut her eyes closed, but in the next moment when she opened them, she had shrienked to fairy-size, the same size as Abigail.

She stared at her, shocked, eyes vide,

«Did you just make me little?»

«I figured I wanted to show you that I’m am not to be played with.» Abigail said, «And that I am just as equeal as you in worth.»

«Turn me big again.» Alexandra shouted.

«No.»
