That won't happen to you

Chapter 14

She opened her eyes.

She had the feeling that she had been unconscious many times before, but she wasn't sure.

Her body hurt, yet she thought she knew it had been worse before.

Someone came in.

"I think the little child here has learned her lesson. Bring her back to the others," said a cold voice for which she could only find one word.

Dark.

This voice seemed familiar, but she didn't know how.

The owner of the voice turned to her, even if she could only see it blurred.

"And you, child... Learn from your mistake. The next instruction you follow. Without question," the chains holding her to the wall were released.

She was pulled up.

Her limbs were numb, but after a few moments she managed to stand.

She was taken away.

One word got into her head A... A... she did not know what to do.

The word.

She had to know it.

She tried to reach for it, but it escaped. Ah... what was the word?

Why did she feel it was so important to remember?

She was thrown on the floor in a room.

In front of her she saw a bucket, even though her blurred sight.

"What are you waiting for, child. You're supposed to clean" somebody said.

She took a sponge and started as ordered.

Even if she would have preferred to throw the sponge in the face of the one who had spoken.

Ahso... Ahso... what was the word. Why didn't she remember?

She had to remember it! She had to!

It was all she could think about.

Slowly.

Slowly the word crept into her mind.

Back into her mind.

Ahsoka.

She knew what that word meant.

It was her name. Her own name.

There was more, but she couldn't reach it.

Something strong was stopping her.

It was... like a big, solid wall that she could not destroy.

"Hey, why'd you stop?" One of them asked her.

"Why did I start?" Ahsoka replied.

The man kicked at her, but she managed to avoid him somehow. Her sponge landed on his face.

He became angry, she realized without seeing it. He hurled the sponge back.

"Just go ahead if you want your food," he said contemptuously and went away.

Ahsoka didn't continue. She tipped the bucket over and stubbornly stayed sitting.

Ryak couldn't believe what he saw on the security camera.

"How by the sake of the galaxy does that girl still manage to resist?!"

"Why can't I break her?"

"She doesn't know who she is, who she was, that there's someone who might get her out!"

"That there's a way out!"

"And yet she still fights back! Why? Where does she get the strength for it! How can I break her?!" he murmured as he paced back and forth. No one else was in the room.

Just him and his thoughts.

Of course he wants prey that resists.

But none that threatened to defeat him. Him! The will breaker!
