Zeb's P.O.V

   "Kid! Kid! Come on! Wake up!"

   I growled in anger seeing how there was nothing that I could do to wake up Ezra. He just passes out right when we begin to search. Just. Great.

   "Karabast," I cursed under my breath and looked around as if the answer to the problem was hidden in the trees. What am I going to do? Should I call for help?

   I reached for my comm link to then grab air. It wasn't there. I raised an eyebrow in confusion which immediately turned into nervousness. What happened to my comm? Did I leave it back at the Ghost? No, I checked to see if I had everything. It should be here!

   I growled again in frustration and went to grab the kid's comm to find that gone too. This was getting to weirder by the second. What were the chances we both left our comms back at the Ghost? Very little.

   Something was going to happened and I don't plan on staying and finding out. Yet, we may have no choice. I slung the teen onto my shoulder and began to walk into the direction of the Ghost.

A nearby bush rustled making me jump back in surprise and grab my weapon. My heart thumped and sweat formed on the side of my head. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. Something was here! Something was here!

I wasn't sure why I felt so panicked. This isn't the first time dealing with trouble. Yet...this place...and what it did to Hera. Shivers ran down my spine at the very thought. Whatever happened to Hera...could happen to the rest of us.

The bush rustled violently. I stumbled back some when suddenly a shadow jumped out from the bush. I readied my weapon to hit the thing but immediately stopped when seeing a small deer-like critter.

I sighed in relief and felt a little embarrassed. Luckily, the Kid wasn't awake to see this though he may of had the same reaction.

"Don't tell the Kid you scared me through whatever Force-a-mobber bond thing," I growled, feeling stupid talking to an animal.

The deer looked up showing the other half of its face. I jumped back when seeing a melted human head melded onto the other half of the deer's head. It was like someone cut half of the deer's head and replaced it with a human's.

The thing didn't even fit. The deer's muzzle was to long, showing the inside with the tongue dangling out. It melded onto the human's tongue and lay limp out of the mouth. The human's eye kept looking down wide eyed and never blinked.

The deer gave a mix of a deer's call and human scream.

I was to freaked out and kept walking back farther. The deer leaped off into the trees making me jump back. My back collided with a cold yet soft surface. I could feel something breathing down my neck and staring down at me.

Slowly, I turned my head...

Ezra's P.O.V.

I blinked and realized that my bed didn't feel right. I looked again to see that this wasn't my room but a jungle's floor. My memory quickly came back as I got to my feet.

"Zeb!" I called, searching for the Lasat. There was no sign of him anywhere.

"Zeb! C-Come on, this isn't f-funny," I said a bit shaky. Nothing. My hand reached for the comm link to find it wasn't there. I began to search for it on the ground but there was no sign of the missing device.

"Ezra! Zeb!"

I turned to hear a familiar voice in the distance. Kanan! Hope swelled up inside me as I ran in the direction of his voice like being lured to a beacon of light in the dark.

   "Kanan!" I called and heaved for air while dodging trees and shrubs.

   "Ezra!" Kanan called back as the sound of running footsteps grew louder. I was almost to him. I'm going to make it!

   Another pair of something running pounded the ground loudly. The shadow ran through the trees near me on all fours. It was fast and I could sense a cold feeling coming from it. Three signatures? Again?

    Kanan's signature was easily recognizable and so was whatever the thing that just ran by but...the other one? I just...couldn't explain it. It sort of resembled the second signature, held not just one but many different signatures in one. One dark signature.

   "K-Kanan," I heaved and tripped on something. My left leg began to throb and my body had begun shaking violently. What was going on? What was wrong with me?

   "Kan...an," I croaked as sweet air filled my lungs. Black dots invaded my vision as a figure approached me. I couldn't tell who it was before going unconscious.

*Time skip*

   Ow.

   That was my first thought as a blinding white light shone in my eyes. I groaned as a headache formed then slowly sat up while holding my head. My fingers traveled across what felt like bandages and eyes caught the boot on my foot. What did I do? Twist my leg so much that I needed a boot?

   "Take it easy, Kid."

   I jumped at the sound and turned to see Kanan leaning against the wall.

   "W-What happened?" I asked.

   "You ask me," Kanan said shrugging, making his way over to me.

   "Where's Zeb?"

    I thought back remembering we were walking then the voice. That was it.

   "I don't know," I admitted, looking at my lap in guilt. Then noticed something.

   "Where's Sabine and Hera?"

   "Sabine is trying to find Hera on the ship," he answered. I turned to look up again in disbelief.

   "Wait, Hera's missing?" I said. Kanan nodded, making my fears grow more. First, Zeb. Now, Hera. I sighed and closed my eyes, focusing on the Force to track any trace of the missing crew members.

   "Ezra, I already tried to-"

   I silenced Kanan with a shush and concentrated on a signature that was very familiar...and close.

   Very close.
