Kanan leaned against the ship's wall. He used his force to feel around the ship. Everyone was agitated with their plan that they were forced to agree upon. Galen although thought Obi-wan's idea was a good one, thought it was also suicide to carry out the plan so soon. Obi-wan was headstrong and determined to free Maul. Kanan was surprised that someone at his age could take Zeb down so quickly. Yet he just thought it was due to him being a true master at the Force.

Obi-wan's Force spiked a second with surprise and fear. Kanan sensed the old Jedi yank a hand away from the steering wheel of the ship.

"Master Kenobi?" Kanan quickly walked over to him. "Is everything alright?"

"Yes, Kanan. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Obi-wan said placing his hand down in his lap as he used the other to fly the ship.

"Maybe you should let me fly for a while Master Kenobi." Hera spoke up and Obi-wan gave her a quick glance that she felt like she was pushed.

"I am completely fine. Worry about yourselves and pray that we get to that ship in time. If Maul is hurt in any way, I hold everyone except for Galen responsible." Obi-wan snapped at them and kept flying the ship. Kanan could tell through the Force that the old Jedi had meant what he said too. He felt that Obi-wan's Force signature was different than how they first encountered him nearly a month and two weeks ago. His signature was calm, soothing and controlled. Now it erratic, angered, and controlled. Kanan knew that if they wanted to make the trip without being chopped to little bits, he would have to keep everyone a distance or see if he can get the old master into a meditation session. They had seen him go into two sessions and after then everyone was astonished to see that Obi-wan seemed to be weaker, not mentally, but physically. He took a bit longer to stand up from meditating. It had concerned everyone, but Kanan could tell that it hadn't had any kind of alarm to Obi-wan. If Kanan was right Obi-wan was only in his mid 40's, he shouldn't be having any problems especially with being Force sensitive. He had confronted Obi-wan about it after the second time and the only answer that Kanan got was 'I'm perfectly fine Kanan, everything is alright. There's no need for you all to be alarmed, it is only a slight side effect.' A side effect of what he didn't know, but Ezra and the others have caught him spacing out and holding his chest. Kanan had also asked about it and he got the same answer as before. He trusted Obi-wan knew what he was talking about, but he couldn't help but worry about Obi-wan.

Ahsoka sat in her chamber covering her ears. She couldn't stand the sound of Maul screaming. She never could, not even when she had heard Kanan and Maul fighting when Maul fell over the edge of the Sith Temple. She didn't know how many days it had been but from the repeating pattern of Maul's screams, she could tell that there was about a 2 or 3 hours silence before they started again. She had only guessed it was nighttime when she hadn't heard his screams for many hours.

The screaming had stopped. She rushed over to the hole in the wall that connected her room to his. She waited to hear the chamber door to shut before she spoke.

"Maul." She spoke quietly as she didn't know if they were recording them. She waited for a moment for his reply or to hear a shuffling noise, but there was nothing.

"Maul?!" She spoke a bit louder concerned after another moment she heard a groan and a noise that sounded like metal dragging against metal. Then she saw his hands appear reaching for hers.

"I'm here Maul." She said as she held his hands rubbing them with her thumbs.

"Don't... let me... sleep." She barely heard his voice. It was rough and barely above a hoarse whisper.

"Don't let you sleep? But why Maul? You need to sleep to keep your strength." Ahsoka asked worried she knew at this rate he had to have sleep.

"Nightmares." Was his only answer to her in his quiet voice. "They're... in my head! I don't... know how. I... I... I can't sleep."

"Don't worry Maul, I'll help keep you awake the best I can Maul." Ahsoka said squeezing his hand comfortingly

"Thank... you... Lady Tano." Maul croaked out

"Anything to help you, Maul." Ahsoka smiled at the wall like she was looking right at him. Not long after that, they both had taken their hands back to themselves when they heard their doors open up.

Ahsoka placed her back against the wall and pulled her knees up to her chest. She acted as if she was falling asleep in the corner. The Officer took no notice of her position and placed her food down on a small table that was bolted to the floor. She could hear everything that was going on in Maul's chamber.

The sound of a tray being tossed to the ground rang through Maul's chamber into Ahsoka's.

"It's dinner time filth." An Officer's voice spoke in Maul's chamber. Ahsoka could barely hear Maul's snarl as footsteps echoed from Maul's chamber

"Go on crawl to your food like a good pet." The Officers voice taunted Maul. Ahsoka could hear it in his voice that he was smiling. Maul's snarl got a bit louder.

"I said crawl!" The sound of the Officer's boot hitting Maul hard echoed. Maul's snarling stopped for a moment before continuing.

"Looks like you still need to be taught some manners." The Officer commented and the sound multiple kicks connecting with Maul's body could be heard outside of the chambers letting other officers hear the assault yet no one did anything to stop it.

Ahsoka waited and hugged her knees. It was all she could do. There was no way of her helping him. She wished that there was a way for her to help him.

When the sound of Maul's chamber door shutting ricocheted throughout the hallways Ahsoka reached her hand into Maul's chamber hoping to grab any part of him. She couldn't feel him within her arm's length.

"Maul?" She pulled her arm back through and looked into the hole. She saw him just laying there. Just outside of her arm's reach.

"Maul, are you alright?" She called into his room. She reached her arm back through hoping she could reach him. Suddenly she felt a hand on hers making her jump. She could hear a weak laughter.

"It is... just I... Lady Tano." Maul spoke and Ahsoka let out a breath of relief.

"Are you okay Maul?" Ahsoka couldn't help but ask that useless question. She knew he was hurt.

"I... fear... that I am slipping... into sleep, Lady Tano." Maul slowly whispered. "The Darkness... is consuming... I don't know... if I will be able... to handle... another empty and alone nightmare... Lady Tano."
Maul's grip tightened on her hand.

"Keep talking to me, Maul, you don't have to sleep. Tell me about Master Obi-wan." Ahsoka suggested hoping it would keep him awake.

"He's... safe... alive. Oh so alive... He may look older... but his skills are still... as sharp and... deadly as ever." Maul said as he laid there.

"I... had feared we would... become separated... I offered him... a chance to live... in peace... away from this... Empire... with me....." Maul's voice had faded making it difficult for her to understand his mumbles and his grip loosened on her hand.

"Speak up Maul. Don't fall asleep." Ahsoka shook her hand moving his arm.

"You Jedi... never give up... on the galaxy... even if.... it cost you... you're life." Maul spoke up again

"We protect others to make sure that they're safe." Ahsoka commented and she heard him laugh weakly.

"Does that... make me... a Jedi now... that I had... protected... Obi-wan... Satine.... Feral... and your friends?" Maul's laughter continued and Ahsoka joined him.

"Perhaps you're on your way to the light side, Maul." Ahsoka smiled at the wall

"Perhaps...." Maul's laughter faded out into silence.

"Maul?" Ahsoka's smile faded hearing only silence. She moved her arm, shaking his, yet no response.

"Maul, wake up!" Ahsoka got worried and move yanked his arm towards her hoping to wake him. Yet there was still no response. Maul had fallen asleep and Ahsoka could only hope that the conversation they had pushed his mind into making him have a good dream for once. She held his hand rubbing it with her thumb hoping her physical contact with him would lead him into a better dream as well.
