Oddly enough, I came up with the idea for this story while doing a handstand. Don't ask me why, because I don't know. The first half of this is what happened to Ahsoka when she was a child in the third person, and the second half is what Ahsoka remembers.

Prologue (Shili: 35BBY-32BBY):

There was a small tribe on the Eastern side of Shili, and on the edge of the tribes territory was a small hut inhabited by a single family. The newest member of the family was an infant daughter named Ahsoka. Two other daughters had been born before Ahsoka; the eldest, Marina, and the middle child, Lilo. Their parents were Haymish and Yuae Tano. They weren't perfect parents, but they were theirs, and that's what made them special.

Ahsoka had always been treated differently than Marina and Lilo; she was the runt of the family and the tribe. She was a mere twelve inches tall at birth and weighed a shocking four and a half pounds. During Ahsoka's first few months of life, she was always treated differently. Marina and Lilo got more attention from their parents and got more food during meals. Ahsoka always thought that it was because of her special abilities. But it wasn't, it never was. They were ashamed of her, embarrassed that she was their daughter.

The rest of the tribe had always said that Ahsoka would bring nothing but bad luck. Yuae always refused to believe it, though she was still ashamed to call Ahsoka her daughter. One day, one of the tribes other children got sick and died; all fingers pointed to Ahsoka. She was the only one who possessed supernatural powers and had been considered bad luck since birth. The tribe then forced Haymish and Yuae to kill Ahsoka. But even though they were embarrassed to call her their daughter, they couldn't bare to kill her.

One rainy day, Haymish and Yuae took Ahsoka deep into the woods that surrounded the tribe. Yuae placed her daughter on a log next to a small creek. Ahsoka whimpered and reached out for her Mother. Yuae turned and she and her husband walked back to their hut. She took one last look at her daughter and wiped a tear away from her cheek. As her parents disappeared from view, Ahsoka started to cry.

Ahsoka curled up into a ball and whimpered. It had started to rain and Ahsoka was shivering. She crawled under the log and attempted to stay warm in the cold weather. Ahsoka was about to fall asleep when she heard rustling in the trees. Ahsoka squeaked silently and crawled back out from under the log. As she sensed something coming closer to her, she started to run. She stumbled through the woods as fast as her little legs could carry her. She looked back and saw a dark figure following her. She let out a high-pitched scream and tried to run even faster. She tried to jump over a tree root that was sticking out of the ground, but as she became airborne, her foot caught on the root and she fell. She looked behind her and sensed the figure coming closer. She tried to stand up, but she quickly realized that her foot was stuck under the root.

She struggled to break free of the root, but she couldn't. And the cold raindrops falling all around her didn't make the situation any better. She saw a man wearing a mask and dark colored robes emerge from the trees. She screamed and cowered, but nothing happened. She felt the root being lifted off of her foot. She shakily looked up at man. He looked scary, but she sensed that he wouldn't hurt her. She whimpered as the man bent down to pick her up.

She played with his long fingers as he cradled her in his arms. "Hello, little one." He said, messing with her small fingers in return.

She gazed up at him with a curious look. "What's your name?" He asked the young Togruta.

"Soka." She said in a small voice.

"Well, Little Soka." He said, stroking her lekku. "I'm Plo Koon."

Ahsoka gave him a little smile. "Your Force signal is very strong." The man told her.

Ahsoka, being a toddler, didn't know what that meant. "Where are your parents?" The man asked her.

"Went home. . ." She squeaked. Plo Koon held her closer to keep her out of the rain.

Plo Koon could sense pain and fear in her, he knew that she had been abandoned. "Don't worry." He said, holding Ahsoka even closer to his chest. "I promise that I'll take care of you."

Ahsoka's Memory:

I was abandoned. I was unloved by my own family. My tribe thought that I was bad luck and my own parents hated me from the start. I don't remember much of my family, but one memory in particular haunts me. The memory of my parents walking away from me; leaving me in the woods to die. I still have nightmares. The memory comes into my mind at least once a day if not more. The first three years of my life are mostly a blur, but that memory sticks with me. It is scarier than death itself. At least, the way I remember it is.

It was a dark day on Shili. It was cold, cloudy and an ominous tone seemed to have settled over the entire planet. A slight drizzle fell over the landscape as my sisters and I sat in our family hut. I was using the Force to levitate a rock while Lilo and Marina slept on the floor. Our parents entered the hut, I smiled at my Mom and reached out for her, but she just ignored me. They walked straight over to where Lilo and Marina were sleeping. They both picked up Lilo and Marina and carried them to their beds.

I curled up into a ball and tried to fall asleep. But before I could drift off, my Mom picked me up. I giggled at her, but she kept a serious face. Daddy was behind her; I reached for him, but he just walked to the entrance of the hut. Mom took me outside and started walking with Dad by her side. They took me into the woods as the rain got harder and the wind picked up. I had almost fallen asleep when I felt my Mother put me down. I was wide awake in an instant to see my parents looking down at me with grim faces. I whimpered and reached out for my Mother, but she just turned and walked away. I watched as my parents left me, I watched until they had disappeared from sight. That's when I started crying. I crawled underneath the log I was sitting on and curled up. I knew they wouldn't be coming back, I could sense it.

I was cold and shivering, and I didn't know what to do. I had almost fallen asleep when I heard rustling. I shifted positions to see a few trees shaking as if somebody was shaking them on the blind side. I gasped to myself and crawled back out from under the log. When I sensed something coming closer, I ran. I stumbled as I moved through the forest. I looked back and saw a dark figure moving through the trees after me. I screamed and brought myself to run faster. I tried to hop over a tree root that was sticking out of the ground, but as I jumped into the air, my foot snagged on the root and I fell. I hit the hard ground with a thud. I could sense the thing coming closer, but when I tried to stand up I quickly realized I couldn't. My foot had gotten caught underneath the root and now I was stuck. I tried to get the root off of my foot, but I couldn't.

I looked back and saw what had been following me through the forest. He had on a black mask and darkly colored clothes, and he looked scary. I screamed and cowered; waiting for something to happen. I felt the root being lifted off of my foot. I cautiously looked up at the man. I whimpered as he bent down to pick me up. I could sense that he wouldn't hurt me, so I allowed him.

He wrapped his arms around me lovingly as I played with his fingers. "Hello, little one." He said in a deep voice.

I looked up at him with curiosity. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Soka." I said quietly. Soka was the best I could manage. I started to gnaw on one of his fingers, but he didn't mind.

"Well, Little Soka." He said kindly, stroking my tiny lekku. "I'm Plo Koon."

I gave him a tiny smile and I could sense him grinning under his mask. "Your Force signal is very strong." He said.

I didn't know what that meant, so I just giggled at him. "Where are your parents?" He asked.

"Went home. . ." I said in a depressed tone. The man held me closer to him.

"Don't worry." He said, holding me even closer to his chest. "I'll take care of you."
