«Please, your Majesty!» The two fairies, Hasar and Adar who were the parents to Abigail and her brothers, begged the Jedi-knight, who had become king because of their magic, «Please don’t take our star-dust. That’s the most precious that we have.»
But Anakin just laughed at them,
«Yes I would take it.» he said, «It belongs to me now.»
Zilla, the sister of Ahsoka, sat on a tree stump with her gaze fixed on the snowy ground when Anakin pointed at her,
«Padawan.» he addressed her, since she was the Apprentice of Obi-Wan, «Begin to cut down trees in this area, while I go back at the cave to check on Ahsoka.»
Zilla sighed, looking up at him,
«Why?»
Anakin turned to her as his expression changed,
«You dare ask questions?» coming closer, «I’m your king now, and you do exactly as I say.»
Zilla rose up from the tree-stump,
«What if I dosen’t want to?»
Anakin raised his eyebrow,
«Exuse me?»
Zilla cleared her throat, and straightened up,
«What if I dosent want you to be my king? I thought we were going back to our homeworld before the portal closed.»
«Well the plans have changed.» grabbing her shoulder, «We are staying here. And we’re going to build a castle. So start cutting down trees, and gather up as much star-dust as you can.»
«You mean there is star-dust inside the trees?»
He nodded,
«Everything is filled with star-dust in this world.»
«You know what?» a rebellious Zilla complained, tossing her lightsaberhilt at the ground«I don’t wanna obey you. I only stay true to Obi-Wan, because I’m his Padawan. And why should I listen to someone who isn’t my master? Huh?»
Anakin stared at her,
«You wanna be rebellious?» his eyes darkened, «Then go and be rebellious.» pushing her back so she fell into the snow. Before he turned «Just remember that every action you do, comes with a prize.» beginning to walk away.
But Zilla slowly got up on her feet again, staring intensely at his back as he was walking away, then she cried out in anger and rushed forward to attack him by surprise,
«I’m not afraid of you anymore.»
«I know.» he responded, before a fight with lightsabers started «Seems like you gone back to your previous way.»
«I haven’t done that.» Zilla snapped, turning on her sabers who shot out from the hilts she now held in her hands, «I just want to make sure you dosen’t do anything foolish, which is exactly what you’re doing now. And Obi-Wan told me to keep an eye on you.»
«Of course he did.» Anakin replied calmly, «But that isn’t easy for a simple padawan like you.»
«Don’t insult me!» Zilla yelled.
In the meantime, inside the cave, Ahsoka exhaled slowly. She slowly breathed in, before letting her breath go out again.
She had closed her eyes, trying to focus on something different than the crazy girl before her; Amanda with the axe. But it was helpless. And when she opened her eyes again, the black cat jumped down from her arms and onto the ground, where it rose up on its back-feet before it began to grow taller and taller before it transformed into a woman. But not just any woman. It was the wich: Ventress the nightsister, who in this world, called herself an angel. A angel of death.
Ahsoka gasped at the sudden sight of her, were she was standing, pressed up against the wall, with no weapon to defend herself with. And the fairies, Abigail and her brothers, were of no help.
«You know,» Ventress began, letting her fingers glide down across Ahsoka’s chinn, «That your precious master, considered to bind you up before he left, so you wouldn’t go anywhere, but the fairies hindered him of it.»
«You are only making it up.» the padawan responded, «Anakin would never do anything like that.»
The wich laughed,
«Perhaps you dosen’t know him then.» stroking her leku that went down from her head; Some head-tails that were instead of hair.
«I know him more than you do.» Ahsoka protested, causing the nightsister to laugh even more,
«No you don’t.» she banged the defensless padawan in the head, so she fell into a stupor, and slowly sank down onto the ground, unconscious. «Now we’re playing.» she looked down at Amanda, her newest pet, «Help me lift her back to the table, we gonna…»
«You gonna what, exactly?» a voice came from the caves opening as Anakin walked in to stand in the middle of the room, «What are you doing with my padawan? And why are you here? Haven’t I told you to stay away?»
Ventress turned her gaze at him as a smirk came across her lips, and she noticed the royal crown, on his head,
«So you’re king now, Skywalker?» laughing as she rose to her feet and slowly walked over to him, «You expect me to bow in the dust for you, your majesty?»
«You could stop with the teasing.» he responded, «I will give you a choice. Either you shall run away right now, or I arrest you.»
«Sounds thrilling!» she grinned.
«Go!»
But Ventress shock her head,
«Oh no, your majesty.» she said in a mocking tone, «I’m not the one who are going here. You are.»
Anakin drew his breath in irritation,
«If you wanna play a game…» grabbing his saberhilt from his belt, «Let’s play a game.»
Ventress lips curved up in an ugly smile, and she turned her head to her newest pet,
«Amanda?»
The girl walked forward, holding on to her weapon, as she grinned,
«I got an axe!»
