Together Again

A few days after she met Luke, Ahsoka saw a force ghost. She wasn’t sure what it was at first, but then the apparition spoke, and her heart filled with warmth, which quickly turned to a raging fire. She turned to face him. Her jaw set and eyes boring into his.  “Ahsoka”, he said, as he hung his head. “I don’t deserve to be here. I don’t deserve your time, or your forgiveness. But you must know that I am truly sorry…for everything…”

Ahsoka could barely manage to get the words out. “You…”, she choked, pain pouring through her voice. “You were my brother, Anakin. Where have you been!?”. Her voice was slowly rising to a growl as she continued, “I spent years beating myself up for your decisions. I’ve had sleepless nights, refusing to believe what you’d become. What do you want me to say to you now!”

She breathed deeply, trying to steady herself. She felt like a 14 year old girl again…lost in emotion, and confused. “You’re right”, he said softly. “You always were. And your hope is the only thing that ever kept me going. Thank you for that…I’ve never been able to hope like you, and I’ve never been as strong as you…and I know I hurt you, so I ask you for nothing. You don’t have to say anything…Just know that if you ever need me, look through the force, and you will always find me. I will never leave you alone again. I promise.”

He disappeared, and Ahsoka let go of the sobs she was holding back, and smiled.
