Frail dog

«What think ye of Christ? Huh?»

«I think he’s my Master.»

«Good answear.»

«I do love the heavens… you feel any better?»

«What?»

«He he.»

 

Amanda had run for some minutes now, but she had come to a blind-gate. And she looked around herself, as she walked closer to the wall in front of her. Hoping that her followers should have lost her trail by now. But she only realiced how wrong she was, when Zilla jumped down from a roof-top, and came walking up to her with confidence, holding out her hand in a pleade,

«The book, if you please.» she began, «Or am I gonna force it from you?»

Amanda shouted back at her,

«No! You don’t know what you’re trying to take from me!»

Zilla laughed,

«I think I know exactly that, dearie.»

Amanda looked at her,

«You’re right.»

«What?» stopping up

«You really are the pet of Ventress. You’re even acting like her.»

«I known her my entire life! You expect something else?» coming up close.

«I just thought you were one of the good ones… seeing that your sister is good.»

Zilla grabbed hold her tunic,

«I’m trying to be good. Ahsoka is the reason for that.»

«You wanna go back there? To Secrecy?»

«Yeah. So give me the book.»

«Never!» pushing her back before taking up her axe, «That book means a lot to me, and I am not gonna give it to an enemy!»

Zilla drew her breath,

«But we don’t have to be…»

«Stop!» looking at her in distress, «You don’t know what Ventress really did to me… she took me away from my family… poisoned our relationship!»

«Is that true?»

«It is as true as you being dead!»

«No, you don’t want that.» looking at her, «Let me help you.»

 

«I look unto the sky, and what do I see? A frail dog?»

«I sorry, I’m sorry, my queen.» the messenger apolgized,

«I dosen’t have time for your mistakes!» Ventress roared, «Now get out before…»

«Asajj?» it came from the corridor.

«What?» she turned to see the Padawan of Anakin walking in.

«I need your help. Could you get my sister back?»

«Well, well well.» chuckling, «See what the cat dragged in!»

 

Dark woods

«Every nation! Every tongue! Come and witness history unfold! Behold the moment when John eats a new bug.»

Ahsoka where about to walk past the the twelve apostles when she stopped. Listening to their jokes and their laughs.

They were sitting on the side of the road, having a picnic, and she decided to walk over to them,

«Hello? Could you guys tell me the way to the dark woods?»

One of the diciples, looked up,

«The dark woods huh?» the one named Andrew.

«Why would you want to go there?» Simon-Peter asked.

«I tell you one thing.» John joined in, «Don’t go there. Stay away from the darkness.»

Ahsoka sighed,

«I will find it myself.» putting her hood over her head, «Thank you for your advice, but I know that I must do this.» beginning to walk away from them.

Simon-Peter got up on his feet, to catch up with her,

«Why is so important for you that you will go there? It’s nothing but dark there!»

«I know someone there who might help me get my sister back.» looking at him.

«Oh. Well we can’t help you with that, but…»

«I don’t need your help. I only need your prayers.»

«We could arrange that.»

«Bye, bye.»

 

Prince Solomon opened the door when Ahsoka knocked, giving her a comoassionate look,

«Is princess Tamar ready to go?» she asked, but  Solomon gave her a grieved look,

«She can’t leave now. Something terrible has happened.»

«What?»

«Amnon. He was in love with her, but now, he’s not.»

Ahsoka stared confused at him,

«I don’t understand. What have the mission to do with love?»

«Amnon abandoned her, after he had…» he hung his head and sighed sadly.

«What?»

Solomon looked at her again,

«I think you should go.» closing the door, letting her stand there.

Ahsoka angrily cluthed her fist together and growled before turning arround,

«Very well.» she said to herself, «I go alone then.» marching away from the castle of David, in the dirrection of the dark woods that were surronded by a fog. And it was easy to find, when she only seeked after it.

She was going to speak to Ventress, the underground-queen, who lived under these woods. Hopefully she would be able to open up a portal so that she could get her sister back.

But she had to hurry, so Anakin didn’t find out where she was heading, because he would’d allow it.
He never would.
