I woke, shivering. Hunger gnawed at my insides and thirst burned my throat. I lay, curled up in a ball, wondering what had woken me. Suddenly, I felt a disturbance. It wasn't sadness or pain. More like... joy? I sat up, trying to figure out what had caused it and where it'd come from. Just then, the ship jolted violently, throwing me across the cell. I hissed in pain, clenching my teeth. I waited for the ship to right itself before slowly sitting up. I searched for the strange joy once more, but it had vanished.

Strange... I thought, where'd it go? But my mind was quickly turned away from the topic when I heard footsteps. Crawling painfully to the door, and using the frame, I hauled myself to my feet. The world spun and I gripped the frame tightly, blinking. The footsteps came closer and I briefly wondered if we'd already landed. Then the door opened to reveal... not a trooper...

A boy.

A teen boy with long black hair that fell in his eyes and dark brown skin. He wasn't much taller than Ezra. He was as surprised as I was, I could tell.

"Um." He scratched the back of his neck, exactly like Ezra did. "Hi."

"Hello." I croaked, aware of how raspy my voice sounded.

"So... ummmm..." he was even as bad as Ezra at making conversations! I laughed, earning a strange look from the boy.

"I'm Ahsoka." I introduced myself, taking one hand off the door frame and holding out for him to shake. Wrong move! I felt my other hand slipping, and before I knew it, I was falling. I felt something soft catch me, and I saw was the boy's face with concentration written all over it. But I was so weak that I blacked out anyway. My last thought was, he caught me with the Force...

Hey potatoes! How's it going? I'm sorry for the long wait, but I introduced a new character! And he's mine! Hear that? No stealing!
