Chapter Text
The temple that was once my home had gone up in fire. The fire had long died down, leaving the place in a horrible state. "The force is pulling me here but why?" I think.
"ASHOKA!" I hear Anakin yell.
I quickly turn around and sees him, my old master. "MASTER!" I yell and run into his arms as I give him hug. "I thought they had killed you!".
Anakin just smiles softly, "it's alright snips I'm fine see." He brushes the back of my tails gently.
I look up at him and let a few tears slip and sniff. "You had me so worried." He brushed them off as he hold me closer.
"You're going to be fine I promise now that we can all be together." He starts hugging me tighter, "You, Obi-Wan, and I are now ruling the galaxy to bring peace. You will become the princess of the galaxy known as Princess Ashoka Kenobi."
He rubs my back as I try to back up but can't, "What do you mean?" I struggle a bit, but Anakin keeps a hard grip on me.
"I mean it. Now that Obi-Wan's the emperor we can change the galaxy all for the better!" His smile goes wider than it has ever gone before scaring me.
I keep trying to pull away. "Anakin your hurting me! MASTER LET ME GO! I DON'T WANT THIS!" I struggle more.
I look up to see Anakin's face turns from a smile to a dark scowl as his eyes flash yellow. "What do you mean you 'don't want this'? Ashoka I can give you everything now! The galaxy is ours we can do what ever we want! How could you not want it?"
"This is right Anakin, democracy is-"
Anakin laughs. "It's corrupt and you know it." He grabs her face. "Look at what they did to you. Don't you want to fix all of it?"
I keep squirming and his grip gets harder. "Please stop this!"
Anakin sighs, "Looks like I'll have to take you to Obi-Wan and see if he can talk some sense into you." He puts his hand in front of my face. "Sleep Ashoka."
Anakin uses the force on me to try and knock me out. "NOO!" I keep trying to fight more and start kicking and punching, "MASTER PLEASE NO!"
Anakin growls. "Enough!" He forces his way into my head and destroyed my mental shields causing me to pass out.
~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~
Obi-Wan smiles as Anakin walks in and kneels. "I'm back father."
"I'm glad your back Anakin I was wondering if you found her or not." I say looking at my new desk. Now that Sidious is gone along with the Jedi nothing can stop us.
"I did master, but Ashoka put up a fight." He looks down. "She fought me. She didn't want anything to do with us."
I stand up and walk over to Anakin, my son. "Rise Anakin, it's okay."
Anakin does and looks at him. "What are we going to do father?"
I brush his faces gently with my gloved hand, "Don't worry Anakin we will get her on are side." I hug him, "I promise once she wakes up and we explain everything she will join us."
"But what if she doesn't? What if she decides to hate us and fight." Anakin looks down and I sigh and lift his head up,
"My son I promise I will do my best to help her show her the way. Even if we must use tough love we will help her." Anakin doesn't looked convinced as I go on saying, "Anakin you don't have to worry we won't give up on her. We will make her see are way one way or another I promise." I run a hand through Anakin's hair. "We will Anakin, it's just going to take some time most likely."
Anakin nods. "I know father. I know."
I pull back from the hug. "Now why don't you go along to the castle and make sure her room is perfect for when she wakes up."
"Yes father." Anakin turns and leaves as I go back and sits in the chair turning around to look at the temple which has now become the new castle for the empire.
"Finally we can now being a new area of peace." I say looking at the sky.
~~~•~~~•~~~
I yawn as I begin to wake up. I can feel how soft the bed and sheets feel. I move around as the warmth makes me want to stay here. I don't know why I don't wanna leave. I can't even remember how I got here, the last bed I was in wasn't that great being only a thin mat on the floor with a thin blanket.
I turn to my side and lay there for a while as I notice my shields are weak. They've been repaired, but not enough to fight anything just keeping small things out. "What happened to me?". I keep my eyes shut trying to remember when all the sudden flashes of what happened hit me. "The temple was on fire, I came back and Anakin, he was there. He hurt me, NO he would have hurt me he's my master, he's like an older brother to me."
I sit up panting. I look and noticed I'm in a soft blue silk night gown, and it has a few embroidered flowers in it making it look pretty. Small white bows are around my neckline feeling a bit weird.
The bed I'm laying on is a canopy bed with a pulled back white veil and most likely silk sheets the color of cream. Pulling back the veil I see a large dresser and a wall of mirrors with a chair sits on one side of the wall. A few doors that are closed. A large holovision set on the wall in front of the bed. I squint my eyes in the dark room and can tell it's pastel themed with soft pinks, blues, greens, and possible some off whites.
Knock knock
I turn to look at the door confused, and I pull out a drawer on the nightstand and find a few pens, flimsies, and a small compact mirror. I pick up on of the pens and hold it. I know it won't do much but it's something.
"Princess, are you awake?" A soft female voice says.
I don't move and feels out in the force trying to feel the presence and notices there is six of them. None of them really strong in the force.
The door and see six girls dressed as handmade around my age that look extremely like me walk in.
The one in front smiles. "Oh good your finally awake, we will notify your brother and father at once."
She nods over to one of the girls in the back who nods back and quickly turns.
"Wait you don't have to do that!" I yell pulling back the covers more, "My father and brother? Who are they?"
The girl smiles softly. "We were ordered to let them know once you where awake."
I look at them confused. "Who are you guys anyway?"
The girl bows. "We are your hand maids princess Ashoka."
I look over at all of them as I move away from them on the bed. My legs feel so numb and I can hardly move them, "Why are you here?"
"To get you ready of course. You've been out for a few days. They where really concerned about you."
She goes over to the closet.
I take another look at her outfit, She's wearing a soft green and blue robe and says, "Your father had many doctors come and check up on you after you didn't wake up in a few hours."
"Who are you talking about?" I watch as the other hand maids come over with jewelry as the one in the closet comes out with a very expensive looking dress.
"Your father, princess. Emperor Kenobi." She holds out her hand and I back up more till I'm at the edge of the bed.
"Obi-Wan isn't my father he's my grandmaster."
They look at each other and then back at her as the door opens and Obi-Wan and Anakin walk in.
The girls quickly bow and Obi-Wan waves them off.
They quickly set the things they where holding down and leave closing the door behind them.
I stare at them as Obi-Wan is dressed in deep red, black, and dark grey outfit with golden buttons, and a deeper shade of red elbow pads with a black cloak. Anakin is dressed in a black, thick leather like outfit, with a cloak with hood pulled up with armor plates on his shoulder, and thick leather gloves.
"Ashoka you're finally awake." Obi-Wan moves to touch her face but she backs up.
"Don't touch me you Sith!" I slap his hand away from her.
Obi-Wan frowns, "Ashoka, you shouldn't act like that. Your are not a toddler."
I scoff at him, "Like i'd listen to you you disgusting piece of-" Obi-Wan slaps me across the face. I didn't even registered it until the pain started.
"You will not talk to us like that young lady. You will not throw tantrums here." Obi-Wan eyes darken as he says that. "Now I am going to give you a chance here, either you stop acting like a spoiled little brat and join us for lunch or you can stay up here on your room with no food or water until you can behave."
I move my hand up to touch my face where he had slapped me. I just stare at him before my gaze shifts towards Anakin who had just been watching the whole time, "Master?" I ask softly.
Anakin takes a step closer. "Snips, it's going to be alright I promise." He holds a hand out to me smiling as my hand goes towards him. "You can call me your brother now if you want. We can but be one big happy family!" He said smiling and I stop.
I look at my hand and move it back to beside me. "Anakin this isn't you."
Anakin huffs a bit, "Ashoka, this is for your own good I promise. If you come to lunch we can talk more."
Ashoka backs up more as she shakes her head. "No it's not right. None of this is."
Anakin let's his hand fall beside him. "This is right Ashoka, and wether you like it or not your here now, and that's all that matters."
Obi-Wan puts a hand on Anakin's shoulder. "Come Anakin let's let Ashoka, have some time."
Anakin looks hurt at her but nods and turns leaving with Obi-Wan as the maids come back in.
"Are you alright your highness?" One of them asks.
I shake my head no. "No I'm not." I mange to get to my bed and pull my knees up to my chest fighting tears, "I'm not okay."
The hand maids look at each other before the one in a purple and pink mix outfit comes up. "It will be alright your majesty." I look at her at her as she turns and goes back and picks up the dress that was later down. "Now why don't we try to get you changed into something else. I have a feeling you don't want to spend the rest of the day in a sleeping gown."
I look down at the gown and run my hand over it and nod, "Yeah your right."
