Chapter 58: Muted
Warning: some scenes were there might be to much graphic but I know you will read anyway so on with the story!
Ezra was once again captured by the Empire. He quietly sat in his cell waiting.
After 10 minutes, "Hello boy, I see we have you captured. Now you will be my Padawan." Ezra sighed and sat down on his bench, "I'm so sorry to say this but no can do baldy." Inquisitor sighed angerly, "Fine I'll let T08-137 deal with you. Maybe then you'll turn to the dark." Ezra rolled his eyes as he walked out, already knowing that T08-137 was a torture droid, and just as he predicted a tall droid came in with his taser and knife out.
Screams were heard all throughout the complex, making the Inquisitor smiled in pleasure. 'You will be mine boy.'
Kanan could feel only a little bit of the pain, but it's about 10x worse for his Padawan. He sat on the floor of the Living Room, groaning in pain while The crew tried to help him. "What's wrong Kanan?" Hera asked as she rubbed his back. "I'm... feeling Ezra's... pain" she frowned at his replied and asked shakily, "Are you feeling exactly what he is?" Kanan looked at her in the eyes painfully, "I only feel 10x less then him since he isn't letting me in." Hera put a hand to her mouth as Kanan stopped groaning and sighed, "I think he passed out. Ok first things first we need to find him." He looked up at the other two silent members and stood up. Sabine snapped out of her trance and sat down at the booth. Opening the holonet, she hacked the Empiral database. She quickly went through the files and found his name. "Still stupid as always. Their in Capitol City." Kanan nodded and asked "Does it give you anything else?" She shook her head in reply making him sigh.
Ezra woke up the next day in tremendous pain and he sat up with a groan. He crawled over to his bench and leaned against it with a heavy sigh.
He loses his eyes and let his mind wonder, quickly finding the bond open, he latched on and said 'Kanan please tell me you hear me?!?'
'Ezra! Can you hear me? We're coming for you!" Ezra sighed in relief but felt someone enter his cell.
'Wait there's someone here.'
'Ok just keep your side of the bond open so I can hear and see you.'
He let go of the bond and opened his eyes to see the glaring Inquisitor in his face. Ezra pretended to cough and said "Man, baldy breath is wrost than Lasat. Who knew?" He snarled at the teen and said "Have you rethought your decision?" Ezra nodded and said nodding, "Yep I have. And as I have said before, Nope never gonna happen." The Pau'an snarled once again, "You will be my apprentice boy. One way or another." Ezra tilted his head side to side, "Yeah well you see I already have a Master and I don't really want to trade." He felt Kanan say, 'Well thanks' in his head.
The Inquisitor snarled at the remark and then smirked. He left and came back a minute later with a needle and thread. The Inquisitor threw his hand out and Ezra was pinned at every inch of his body. The Inquisitor came up and kneeled next to him, "Maybe this will teach you a lesson, Boy."
Once Ezra saw him come to his face with the needle, he blocked the bond once he saw the needle in his face and watched as the Inquisitor pinched his lips and began to slowly do his work.
Kanan gasped as he was pushed back out of Ezra's mind and looked at his surroundings. The crew surrounded him in the Living Room. "We need to get him out now!" He said breathlessly. Hera took his hand and said gently, "What's the problem? Is he hurt?" Kanan nodded and looked at her bright green eyes, "Before he shoved me out, Inquisitor was coming at him with thread and needle." They gasped and immediately started planning to get their youngest member away from the clutches of the Empire.
That night, they broke in and Kanan and Zeb ran through the hallways while listening to Sabine in his ear, "Ok cell 278 good luck, see you at the loading bay." He put his comm back on his belt and put his full power on running.
Quickly arriving at the cell, he took at deep breath preparing himself of what he might find. He looked at Zeb who had a saddened looked and he opened the door.
Inside laid a barely breathing body on his side with his back to them. Kanan entered the cell with Zeb guarding and kneeled next to him. He grabbed his shoulder and rolled his over. Kanan gasped as he saw his fear come to life.
Ezra's face was bloody with a freely slowly cut on his forehead but he eyes were drawn to his mouth. They were swollen around the thread that was sewn over his lips multiple times, over and over again.
Kanan wanted to throw up but his Padawan needed his Master so he picked him up carefully being caused a painful whimper to come from the body. Kanan winced and turned around to show Zeb who's month fell open, "Kid..." Kanan shook his head, "He's out cold but he needs immediate help." Zeb nodded with his ears flattened.
They quickly made their way through the complex, smashing through every Storm trooper because of the angry Lasat. Kanan quickly boarded ignoring Sabine and Zeb who was following. He entered the Med Bay and quickly deposed the kid on the bed. Sabines mouth fell open in horror, not believing her eyes.
They both watched Kanan grab a pair of scissors and cut away his shirt and then his pants leaving him in blue boxers. Finally being able to see all his wounds, they realized how desperately he needed attention. Most of his skin was tinted black and blue and then there were the large cuts obliviously done by a knife and little blacks marks that looked like taser marks.
Kanan ran a hand through his hair wondering when Hera was going to arrive and as if reading his mind, Hera came in with a smile, "Did we get him?" Kanan stepped aside and showing Hera who's smile immediately dropped and she ran up to him. She looked him up and down and then turned around, "What are y'all just standing there for. Get me my supplies." They started running around while Hera put on her latex gloves.
Hera stood there looking at her boys face, wondering what happened but the most unexpected thing happened. Ezra eyes fluttered opened and he locked eyes with Hera. She smiled and and said "Hey he's awake." Immediately, everyone was around him.
They tried to act strong but once they saw they saw the tear run down his cheek, their smiles dropped. But slowly his eyes started closing again but not before a whimper sounded. Once they saw him pass out again, they immediately went back to work.
After everything was in place, Hera took the scissors and looked up at Kanan, "Ok I need you and Sabine to do stitches while Zeb and I work on his... um... mouth." He nodded solemnly.
She looked up at Zeb who was on the other side of the bed and nodded. She brought the scissors to the thread and quickly went across it but as she tried to take it out it wouldn't budge. She looked up at Zeb who looked at her confused. She slowly opened his mouth only to put one to hers.
She gasped in surprise and a tear ran down her cheek. She looked at all of them, "Um.. I have an issue. The ... threading didn't just go through the lips by also the gums." They all dropped their jaws and watched as Hera took the scissors back and went all the way inside his mouth and came back with a long thread coming out of his mouth. They all stared at her as she placed it on a tray and she said in a whisper, "We really need to get him patched up. Come on." They went back to work and almost immediately went back to work.
2 hours later, they finished wrapping him making him look like a mummy. Hera sighed and said while walking out, "I have to update Ahsoka on Ezra condition."
She went to the cockpit and called Ahsoka who answered immediately. Hera sighed and said sadly, "He got him." Ahsoka looked at her confused, "Shouldn't you be happy?" Hera looked at her with tears running down her face, "I'm overjoyed we got him back but not in the condition he got him back in." Ahsoka nodded in understanding, "Can you list his injuries?" Hera nodded, "Um... knife wounds, taser burns, broken ribs, broken leg, wrist fractured from what looks like struggling, whip marks, and um..." "Um, what?" "When we found him, the Inquisitor did something horrible. He'd sewn his mouth closed." Ahsoka gasped as her mouth dropped open but before she could say anything Hera continued, "But when I was cutting the thread I noticed not only did it go through the lips but all the waythrough the gums." Ahsoka herself let a tear slip down her face just as Kanan came running in.
"He's awake."
Hera nodded and Ahsoka said, "Go and see him." And ended the transmission.
They walked into the Med Bay, to see Ezra laying still while Sabine and Zeb watched him from the corner. Hera went up to him and watched as the sapphire blue looked at her. She smiled lightly and it broke her heart when she saw him trying to hold in his tears.
"It... h-hurts" he said slowly surprising The crew by talking, not expecting him to be talking so soon. Hera frowned, "What hurts, Love?" Ezra sighed everything deeply, "Everything" She nodded and grabbed syringe of morphine to put in his IV she set up while he was passed out.
Ezra quickly felt the effect of pain being taken away but always the side effect of being drowsy. She watched as his eyes fluttered close. She sighed happy her boy was out of pain. She looked at the others and said "We are going to help him through this, no matter what." They nodded as they watched Hera grab a hair tie off the counter and tied up Ezra's blue hair in a little bun. She down and kissed his forehead which he leaned into.
'We'll get him through this, I know we will as a family'
