"Desperation's Dark Edge"

Part 10

Ahsoka's eyes were sunken, her body battered and bruised from the repeated torture sessions. She hung in the air, the noose around her neck constricting her breathing, as she gazed up at Sixth Brother with a mixture of fear and desperation. Her mind was numb, her thoughts disjointed, but one thing was clear: she couldn't take much more of this. "Please," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "Stop this. Whatever you want, I'll do it. Just...don't do that to me." Her eyes welled up with tears as she thought about the chart, the markings on her body where Sixth Brother planned to cut off her nipples. The horror of it made her stomach churn. Sixth Brother's expression didn't change, but a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes. "Do what, Ahsoka?" he asked, his voice low and menacing. "What could you possibly offer me that would make me spare you this fate?" Ahsoka's body began to shake, her vision blurring as she struggled to speak. "I'll do anything," she repeated, her voice cracking. "Just don't...don't rape me. Please." The words tumbled out of her mouth in a rush, as if she couldn't hold them back. Sixth Brother's gaze didn't waver, but Ahsoka saw a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "Rape?" he repeated, his voice dripping with contempt. "Is that what you think I'm planning to do to you, Ahsoka? You're so...limited in your thinking." Ahsoka's body convulsed, her mind reeling with fear and despair. She knew she was at his mercy, and that he could do anything to her. The thought made her scream, a raw, animalistic sound that echoed off the walls. "Please," she begged, her voice hoarse from screaming. "Have mercy. I'll do anything. Just don't do this to me." She was sobbing now, her body shaking with convulsive sobs. Sixth Brother's expression didn't change, but Ahsoka saw a glint of excitement in his eyes. He was enjoying this, enjoying her fear and desperation. The thought made her want to vomit. The cybergallows constricted tighter, and Ahsoka's vision began to blur. She felt herself being pulled towards the edge of consciousness, and she knew she was running out of time. She had to think of something, had to find a way to escape, or... As the darkness closed in around her, Ahsoka's mind went blank, her thoughts consumed by a single, desperate plea: please, don't let him do this to me.
