A slight shiver runs through my body as I walk through to the Council Room. My master walks a few paces ahead of me and I can feel the anger and disappointment radiating from him. I shift my gave from his back to my feet that gently pound against the red carpet in the Jedi Temple.
I know I screwed up. I screwed up big time.
I cross my arms in an attempt to shield myself from the disappointment I feel from my master. I look around at the people passing us as we walk through the hallway. They notice my master's distance and look away from me as soon as I look into their eyes. I squeeze my eyes shut for a moment but quickly reopen them. I must take my punishment no matter how bad it may be.
My master stops in front of the Jedi Council Room. He presses a button on the panel next to the doorway and waits for entrance. I stand a few paces behind him and I feel a lump form in my throat. I feel terrible and I know Anakin can sense that.
"I-I'm sorry," I stutter. I look up at the back of Anakin's head to see any sign of acknowledgment. There is none.
The door of the Council Room opens and we both walk in. I stand beside my master and I feel the eyes of the Council upon me. I know my punishment will be harsh and I am terrified.
Anakin doesn't offer me any support. Not even through the force like he usually does when I am upset. Anakin and I are like brother and sister. He is always there for me. Always telling me everything will be alright. But this time, there is no comfort. This time Anakin knows everything won't be alright.
I hear the Council begin to speak. They talk to my master for awhile and I zone out. I try to simply stare at my feet but thoughts of my punishment continue to bombard my mind. I remember what I did and guilt squeezes my stomach.
"Ahsoka Tano," I hear Mace Windu speak my name and I look up from my feet. His gaze is harsh and my breathing quickens. I scan the faces of all the Council Members. Not one of them smiles. Every single gaze is one filled with anger and disappointment.
I want to run. Run and never come back. The Jedi are my life. They're all I have ever known. They are my family and I have disappointed them.
I shift my gaze to my master. His eyes are cold and they do not move to meet my eyes. I feel a pang in my heart and I move my gaze back to the eyes of Mace Windu. He begins to speak of my actions and how much of a mistake I made. I feel tears raining down my cheeks, at some point. I reach my hands up in an attempt to swipe them away but they keep coming with every word that escapes master Windu's mouth.
Suddenly, I hear master Windu's voice stop and I hear Obi Wan's instead. He talks of a punishment. How my mistake must be atoned for. Then he tells me my punishment.
My mouth falls open and my body freezes. I hear other Council members gasp and some flash shocked looks towards Obi Wan.
I feel Anakin's eyes on me. I sense the shock and panic he feels.
"But she's just a child!" I hear someone say.
"Master, don't you think that's a bit harsh?" I hear my master ask, his voice wavering a bit. Obi Wan says nothing and continues to stare at me with an unusually cold stare.
I feel my body start to move. I feel it move out of the Council Room and away from the Council. Away from my master and away from my punishment.
I run through the hallways and I feel eyes stare at me as my legs carry me to an unknown destination.
I can't think. All I know is that my body is moving and I can't stop it. I run all the way to my quarters. I lock the door behind me and I fall into a corner.
I feel an unbearable pain within me but I cannot cry. My stomach feels as if it is going to explode and I feel something rising in my throat. I rush to the bathroom and vomit into the toilet.
What have I done? I think to myself.
A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story! I'll try to update as soon as possible! Thanks for reading! Love ya babies! :D
