Ahsoka Tano
Part-1
"Men, move out!" Jedi Master Plo-Koon commanded. The clones answered in tandem, "Yes sir!" The mist hung low to the ground and the mountains of Shili stood tall blocking the view of what lay ahead. The rescue mission was going as planned until the unexpected happened.  "Sir, the village is only half a click away. It seems to be abandoned. What should we do?"  Captain Rex, on of the clone troopers, asked. "Keep moving. But stay cautious, I sense that we are not alone." Master Plo's voice drifted off as he took another step forward. He did sense someone, but whom?
     As the group entered the once beautiful village that now lay in ruins, Master Plo commanded, "Spread out! Search the homes for survivors." To catch you up, this small area of the planet Shili was attacked by Separatist forces. All of the homes were burned. Or so it appeared. As Master Plo turned a corner of the village, he came across a barely intact shack. The walls were black with ash and the windows were broken from where the fires exceeded it's temperature limit. He heard something from the house. Whimpering? Yes, that was it. The master slowly stepped inside the burnt home and looked around. The crying became louder.  Master Plo walked down the back hall and peered into each room. All but two rooms were empty. In the first, several corpses of a Togruta family were scattered on the floor. A shiver went down his back at the site. As he approached the last room, Master Plo placed his hand on the hilt of his light saber, ready to fight. The door creaked when it opened.  He stepped inside and let out a sigh of relief. Huddled in the corner was a small Togruta girl.  She shrieked and ran to hide in the closet. "Don't be afraid, young one. I shall not harm you." Plo tried to comfort her. "A-are they gone?" She asked, her voice barely audible. "Who? Is who gone?" he asked, intrigued. "The people with the armored heads?" Master Plo was shocked that she had survived an encounter with the droids. "Young one, are you hurt?" he asked. The girl stepped out of the closet, grasping her left side. "A little. But i'm ok. My mommy is hurt badly,though. Can you help her?" The Jedi immediately remembered to bodies he had found earlier. He looked down, trying to think of what to say. "She's dead, isn't she? It's ok. I understand." she looked down, "Most people here thought that this would happen. They blamed me because of my gift." Plo looked at the small child. She must have been no older than three yet she contains the emotions of an adult. The poor child, he thought. Wait; did she say something about a gift?  "Child, what is this gift?" The young girl looked to the corner of the room, avoiding his gaze. "I can move things without touching them, and I can feel when someone is near." Master Plo was shocked. "Child, what is your name?" she looked at him, her white tattoos shown, "I'm Ahsoka Tano."
