Chapter 31

Ahsoka POV

Ahsoka's story didn't wrap up neatly with a bow on top. In reality the day she died was just like any other. The sky was clear and Coruscant was just as busy as any other day.

They'd just come back from another mission. It'd been a month since Ahsoka told Anakin that she was dying and everything was alright- well except the fact that she was dying. That was like a silent mercenary.

Ahsoka lived every day of her life these days waking up and accepting the possibility that any moment could be her last. It sucked but somehow she was able to get through it.

The entire squadron was just getting off the ship. Obi-Wan had joined in on this mission so he was there too. Ahsoka was talking to him and Anakin about something when she saw Padme in the hangar about 20 feet away.

Anakin smiled and quickly sprinted up to the Senator. They started talking about something as Ahsoka continued the conversation with Obi-Wan. They'd just beaten a group of Separatists and gotten back a planet the Republic had lost long ago. In that moment, life was good. But that can all change.

Ahsoka felt a wave of dizziness wash through her. A sudden sharp pain laced through her chest as she fell against the nearest thing she could balance herself on- in this case it happened to be the wall of the ship. She struggled to stay standing on her two legs that screamed in agonizing pain.

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan yelled as he came closer to Ahsoka and tried to help her balance.

The Jedi Knight's head swung in the direction of his former Master and Padawan the second Obi-Wan called. Ahsoka knew what was happening. She also knew that Anakin had probably grown keen to listening for his name in fear that this exact scenario would play out.

He rushed over to where Ahsoka was balancing herself on the wall. Padme followed behind and gently told Ahsoka she should lie on the ground.

She did so and her two friends crowded around her. Obi-Wan went off quickly to com for a doctor. Ahsoka wanted to tell the Jedi Master it was no use. She could feel that she was dying. She didn't know how; she just did.

Padme and Anakin sat next to Ahsoka on both sides. She decided that if these were her last moments, she still had some stuff to say. "Hey," she looked at Anakin, "if this is it-"

"Ahsoka don't say that." Anakin ordered in a shaky voice while Padme was on the verge of breaking into tears.

"Anakin, don't argue with the dying girl," Ahsoka tried at a weak joke. No one laughed. "Listen I said if; didn't I? So hear me out. If this is it, I want you to take care of her." Ahsoka nodded her head over towards Padme.

Now they were both nearly in tears and equally shocked. Anakin and Padme's eyes nearly popped out of their head in surprise.

Ahsoka raised her eyebrows. "Don't worry it's not obvious. I've just been around you two for long enough to figure it out." The young girl couldn't help it when a tear escaped her eye. She was dying; she had the right to cry. No one would blame her for not staying strong. Not to mention the immense pain she was in. It was as if she were being tortured again. Only this time it was so much worse. "I want you to remember what you promised me, Anakin. You're not allowed to get reckless after I die." She choked on the last word and turned to Padme. "And you're not allowed to let him. Got it?"

They both nodded.

After a moment Anakin spoke. "Snips… I'm sorry." Ahsoka could tell that he didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry this happened. I'm so sorry. You know I'm proud of you right?"

The pain only got worse in each passing second. Ahsoka had more trouble hanging on to reality as each moment went by. "This is it," she thought to herself. "This is the end."

And in the end it was just a normal day on Coruscant. The sky was blue and bars were getting ready to open in another hour. Nearly everyone else in the hangar passed by that small starship with the two people kneeling next to their dying friend without knowing in the slightest what was going on.

The hard truth is that life moves on. A person is only remembered by the mark they made on their small little world. Ahsoka felt proud of her mark.

She had been an apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. She'd traveled the universe. She'd escaped her drunken father. She'd joined the Jedi Order. She'd killed Savage Opress. She'd been tortured by General Grievous and survived. She'd become a Jedi Knight.

That was a good life.

Ahsoka managed a small smile towards Anakin and answered his earlier question. "I know. I'm proud of you too Sky-Guy."

If Ahsoka were to look back on her last words, she'd be happy. In those few words Ahsoka was able to tell Anakin everything she wanted him to know. She was able to tell him that she loved him and that he was the reason she was the strong, independent, trusting, amazing person she was today. He told her that he was proud of her and she said it back. Anakin needed that sometimes. Sometimes he needed to not be the solo person he was and be able to accept other peoples love.

He needed what she said. He needed her to be proud so that he didn't feel like he failed her and everyone else.

Ahsoka looked back on her life in her final moments. She looked back to the times when her mother was alive and they used to dance together with their free spirits. She looked back to Chance, her brother that used to be her only reason for living. She looked back to Plo Koon finding her and realizing that she could actually be more in life than a girl living in a small town on Shili. She looked back to meeting Anakin for the first time and thinking that she hated him. Then in time she grew to love him through all the reckless missions, not letting her do briefings, disobeying orders, saving lives. Ahsoka grew to love him and trust him more than anyone else in the world.

She didn't want to leave. More importantly she didn't want to leave Anakin. She knew that she was just as important to him as he was her. She feared what would happen next. Where would Ahsoka go? What happens after death? She didn't want to know. She feared for Anakin. What would he do without her? Could he really hold it together?

Looking up and Anakin and Padme's face, Ahsoka wasn't afraid anymore. Rex, Plo Koon, and Obi-Wan had found their way to the scene too. Now they were all around the dying girl. Sure the fear wasn't completely gone but how could she be so scared when everyone she loved was around her. She couldn't be afraid with that much love surrounding her. That was the last thing she ever saw.

After that the world just slipped away from the young girls grasp. She was left completely vulnerable to whatever was next for her.

A/N- I don't know if anyone is going to read this or if your all just going to hate me. If you do hate me; I understand. I really do. I want you to know that I'm still sad too but this is the way I choose to wrap up my story.

I don't think that Ahsoka could have lived through Order 66. I think that her death would've been a big reason that Anakin went to the dark side. That's what I think and that's why I chose to end my story this way.

If your all still reading and not just completely mad at me by now I'd like to tell you that this story isn't completely over. In a few months I'll make a sequel story about Ahsoka and how she'd immortal through the force. That'll be around the time of the new year. For now, I'm going to take a break and read a few books. But if you'd like check my account in a month or two for that.

Lastly I want to thank you all for the favorites, follows, and reviews. It means so much to me that you actually liked my story. That's every authors dream. I'm proud of my work and I'm happy you all liked it too (well besides this final chapter). I also want to say that I AM SORRY it ended this way. I really am.

If you all want to... leave a review. Yell at me. Hate me. I can take it. It shows me you care. No matter what PLEASE leave me a review. I will love you all forever if you do. It would mean the world to me.
