After walking through the forest, most of the day, seeing it turn to evening night, Zilla came upon a barely conscious body, laying asleep under a three, completely exausted.
She bent down by the figure, and it was;
«Ahsoka?» she gripped her arm, as pure joy ran through her heart, «Ahsoka! Oh, finally I found you!» She went to sit down by her side, «Oh, how glad I am. I just can’t wait untill you wake up!» and as she sat there, she slowly drifted up to sleep.
But when she woke up in the morning next day, she looked around her, to see that her twin-sister was gone.
«Ahsoka…?» she rubbed her eyes, as feelings of sadness came through, «Ahsoka!» and to dissapointed to stand up, she started to cry, «Sister? Why did you leave when I just found you? Why?» and she hung her head, wrapped her arms around her knees, and just sat there, as tears streamed down her face.
«But I didn’t leave, dearie.» she heard a voice say from behind. Zilla slowly raised her head to see a dark hooded figure standing under one off the threes beneath, looking at her, with her arms over her chest.
And then she turned the hood down.
Zilla looked in amazement at her,
«Ahsoka!» starting to arise, «I…»
«No. No need to get up. I simply went to get us some breakfast, and if you are hungry, you can share a meal with me.»
«Sister.» Zilla went up to her feet anyways, before hurrying towards her. Throwing her arms around her with tears in her eyes, «We’re finally reunited at last! Aren’t you glad about it too?»
Ahsoka sighed, before freeing herself from the hug,
«Yes, I’m glad, dearie. But unlike you, I have learned to controll my feelings.»
«Just wait untill Anakin sees you.» Zilla burst out with, «He will be so glad too, and everything will be like it was. Just like before.»
But Ahsoka shaked her head,
«I’m not going back to him…»
«What?» Zilla’s look grew serious, «But… you’re his padawan! You have to come back!»
Ahsoka turned around. Not facing her, she said,
«No.» and with one hand, making itself up to the point between the two horns on her head, she plucked her padawan-braid off, and turned to face Zilla again, «At least not now. After everything I’ve been through, I can’t… I won’t…» she lifted her braid towards her, «Will you hold on to this for me?»
Zilla looked shocked at her,
«But… But you just came back! The King would want to see you!»
Ahsoka dropped the braid into Zilla’s palm,
«He must not know that I’m here. So… I suggest you return to where you came from, and let me follow my own path. Please.»
«But… why? Why are you doing this, sis? And why do you think that I would ever abandon you?»
«Anakin is a powersick manipulator. And I need to protect myself, I need to protect my heart. I don’t wanna end up as him.»
Zilla put her hand on her shoulder,
«But he has changed, dear. Evolved, as he calls it.»
Ahsoka shaked her head,
«He’s just toying with you, sis. I don’t think he has.»
«But can’t you just give him one, last chance?» lifting the padawan-braid towards her, «We’ll be Padawans together, and he’ll train us both.»
«Oh, please go back, dear. I don’t wanna meet him, and if you follow me, he might send out someone to search for you, and then they might find me too, and we can’t risk that.»
Zilla turned her gaze down,
«Wherever you go, I’ll always be at your side.»
«No! Just go back!» Ahsoka shouted, «Go back to Anakin!»
