《Dark Past: Abuse- Anakin & Ahsoka》Chapter 13: The First Sign
Advertisement
She dragged herself up. She would not allow some simple pain to stop her, but her heartbeat began to quicken and she felt disoriented. She wobbled a bit, grabbing onto a nearby switch to stabilize herself.
"Snips, you coming?" Anakin asked, turning around concernedly.
"Coming, Skyguy!" Ahsoka called after him. She tried to take a step forward before a loud whirring sound echoed through the room.
"Clankers!" Rex yelled, with an air of sarcastic ecstasy.
Ahsoka stabilized herself and charged forwards, but ran into a droid.
"Ahsoka, what did you do?" Anakin asked annoyedly.
She didn't reply. The world was spinning, and she felt feverish. She looked back and tried to find the switch she moved, but everything was a rainbow of colour. Everything was flying around in her mind.
Then, darkness.

"Is Ahsoka okay?" A voice said shakily. "Did a droid shoot her down?"
"No sir, I think she may have collapsed from exhaustion. Happens a lot on the battlefield. I'm surprised she made it out alive. The clumsy droids must have assumed she was dead." Another voice replied.
Ahsoka woke up with a start. She looked around and found herself on the bed in the transport ship she had been in the last time she went to Raarsis.
"It's okay, Snips." It was Anakin. He set his hand comfortingly on her shoulder.
Young one, you are in danger!
She gasped. "What? Why am I in danger?"
Everyone looked very confused. "Look, little'un, you took quite a blasting out there. Best if you rest." Rex said softly. The clones filed out of the room. Anakin stayed behind.
"If you need help, Snips, I'll be right here." He smiled, almost apologetically. He handed her a few pills. "Painkillers for your ankle, if you need any." He stood up to leave.

"We'll take care of the rest of this mission ourselves. You'll miss out on a lot of fun." He teased.
"Aw, shut up!" Ahsoka laughed.
Find medical help! You need it, now!
Ahsoka tried to push the strange voice out of her head. Why would she need medical help?
Because you are injured badly, can't you see?
"Pfft," Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "I just fainted, that's all."
You are blind to your troubles. You're blinded by pride.
"But I'm not injured!" She protested weakly to the voice. "Collapsing doesn't warrant any medical scans."
Heed my warning. You have little time, young one.
She disregarded the voice. She was obviously hallucinating, or something like that. Must be a side effect of fainting.
Not a side effect. The Force, here to help you. Not a hallucination, either.
"Then what are you?" She asked irritably. She was tired of the mind games. First a mirror image of her future self. Now, a voice that was driving her crazy.
We have met before. Just listen. Don't try anything to harmful to your current physical state.
"I don't care. Are you some sort of prank Anakin is playing on me? Well, if you are, you aren't deterring me from going on the mission." She snapped. Ahsoka swallowed two grey tablets and immediately perked up. The painkillers were very useful.
Don't be proud, young one. Don't let pride be your downfall.
"Okay, bye." She shouted as she grabbed a backpack, racing out of the ship to join in the battle.
Oh, how she would regret it.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.

Galduta
What seperates beasts from men isn't the language we speak or any such drivel taught to us in school. It isn't the way we walk or our intelligence that sets us apart. Some would have you believe that it is our ability to think and reason that makes us fundamentally different from the creatures that inhabit the world. That way of thinking, my friends, is entirely wrong. What seperates us from them and them from each other, is simply the skin that we all wear
