Crash landing

Page thirtynine

Anakins heart broke when he watched Ahsoka getting weaker and weaker.

She did wake up occasionally.

Sometimes dazed and not realising what was up.

Sometimes she even was really conscious. Realising where she was, and who was around her.

Most times they made her eat something in those moments.

She had become so thin...

She could hardly move her leg. Moving at all caused her pain.

Anakin sat beside her, adjusting the leather blanket around her body.

It had become colder.

She was right, that the winter was coming.

Ahsoka was shivering, her fever growing.

Anakin was close to crying when he looked at her.

He never saw her so fragile before.

She opened her eyes gazing up to him.

"Hey Snips" he greeted her.

"Ma...ster" she replied slowly.

Anakin gazed over to Obi-Wan.

The Master realised quickly what his former Padawan ment and went to get some fish.

Anakin slowly helped Ahsoka sit up, leaning her against him.

She squeezed her eyes shut out of pain, bit breathed relieved when she sat upside, directing her gaze to the rising sun.

"Mrning" she slurred, hardly able to move her tongue.

Anakin stroked her arm, while Obi-Wan gave him the fish.

In the beginning they had tried to just hand it to Ahsoka, but the girl could hardly move.

So eating was pretty hard for her.

Anakin ripped a part of the fish apart and held it in front her mouth, slowly feeding it.

The girl felt slightly humiliated by the fact that she had to be fed, but she figured it was better then starving.

Anakin kept holding her in a sitting position when she had finished eating, so that she didn't have to lay around all the time.

She thanked him for that.

That way she could watch the sunrise.

She felt her head falling against Anakins shoulder, when the muscles in her neck decided that working wasn't fun.

The Jedi-Knight looked down to her worried.

"Rex should come back soon Snips. Then it'll be okay again. Then you'll fee better. Just hold on until then" he told her.

She tried to nod, but didn't managed to do so.

Speaking wasn't working as well, since the words refused to come out her mouth.

The world decided to spin and once again she was floating into unconscious.

Anakin hold her tight.

He knew she was going to survive.

He just knew.
