Nightmares
(Mostly about Roxy and Rex. Warnings: Mentions of suicide, depression, and death.)

He was running, running towards the cries of the on he loved, she laid there on the cold ground. The Captain finally reached her and fell to his knees, "'Soka!?" He shouted, she turned slowly and looked at him, her eyes dark and seemed to be drained of all life. Then he heard a woman cackling, it was Ahsoka, but she had odd veins all over her body, she looked at Rex and smirked.
"What'sa matter? Cat got your tongue, Captain?" She hissed, He looked back to the body in front of him, it was an illusion. It wasn't Ahsoka, but rather his sister, that same little girl he had saved all those years ago, it was Roxy.
"What have you done!? Where's Ahsoka, the real Ahsoka!?" He yelled, getting up and walking to her, "Oh, honey, you're so blind, so was I. Until he opened my eyes to the darkside, join me, Rex, and we could be free, no rules, we could really be together." She said in a tempting voice, and batted her eyes at him.
"I'll never join you, you killed Roxy! And you took Ahsoka away from me, you psycho!" He screamed, and drew his pistol, tears streaming from his eyes. "Oh come now Rex, you can't shoot me, you know the 'real Ahsoka' is still in here, if you shoot, she dies, just like you little sister over there.." She spat.
Rex was torn, he couldn't shoot the only woman he loved, but he also couldn't let her get away just like that, Ahsoka was still in there, she was just being controlled in some way. But at the same time, she killed Roxy.
"Oh, just do something already!" Ahsoka shouted. Rex couldn't think straight, he didn't know what to do. "Fine, seems you still need a little push.." She said, she force pulled a figure towards her, one of Rex's brothers, Fives. "No!" Rex yelled and sprinted forward, she began choking Fives.
"Make a move Rexy, submit, and he lives. Try to stop me, and I crush his throat." said Ahsoka. Rex aimed his pistol, Ahsoka squeezed harder. Fives was running out of air, Ahsoka was becoming bored, and Rex's mind was going a million miles a second. She squeezed harder.
Rex's finger squeezed the trigger of his DC-17 blaster.
The two figures dropped to the floor, Fives clutched his throat and coughed. Ahsoka was limp, the bullet pierced her heart, and killed her on impact. Rex approached her slowly, he fell to his knees. Not only had he lost his sister, he also lost the love of his life.
He awoke with a jump, falling out of the bed, drenched is sweat and tears. Another nightmare, he would never get used to this. Waking from a horrid nightmare like that, waking from a nightmare where he loses those he loves. It didn't happen often, but when it did it scared him.

Dark, was all she saw at first.
Silence, was all she heard when it began.
Cold, was all she felt.
Then it changed.
She saw her brothers, she heard them mumbling, she still felt cold.
"Such a disgrace." "She's a disappointment." "No one loved her then, why should we now?" "She should have died back in that old dusty house."
Was what she heard them say, they turned to her, eyes dark and frown evil. "Don't you know I only pitied you?" "We don't really love you." "You'll never be anything, to the world, or us." "Why are you still here?" "Just leave already."
She didn't want to believe what she was seeing or hearing, she covered her ears and squeezed her eyes shut, she tried to block it out. She saw her scars, she saw the way people judged her, she should have known her brothers didn't love her, she should have known she was just another freak. A killer. She was unwanted.
She opened her eyes, and they were on the ground, her vod were dead, she fell to her knees and cried. She blamed herself. "All your fault, all your fault." Was all she heard now, she was covered in blood, some from her fallen brothers, some from the scars that were littered across her body.
She cried out in pain and sadness. "Your fault!" A voice screamed.
Roxy's eyes darted open, she was drenched in sweat and tears. She didn't jump, she wasn't startled.
Another nightmare, not much different from the rest, just another horrid thing to repress and try to forget about later.
She closed her eyes, and fell back into a dreamless, and nightmareless, sleep.
Roxy was used to the nightmares, she always had been. Rex wasn't used to them, and he never wanted to get familiar with them.
The only reason it didn't drive them crazy was because they knew they were just dreams, and things in your dreams can't really hurt you.
When they would awaken, they would still have their loved ones. Ahsoka was alive, Roxy was alive, Fives was okay. Her brothers were alive, and well. They were loved. They were wanted. It was all okay.

A/N: Yeah! An update on a Star Wars book, I know it's probably short and kinda crappy, but I'm working on another project outside Wattpad and I'm also really busy with work and school and stuff. Well, enjoy! And remember, you are loved, no matter what.
