Chapter 8: Nightmare
Ezra and The crew just got back from a mission and had also encounter the inquisitors so they were all exhausted. They all said good night to each other and went to change into their PJ's. Once their heads hit their pillows, they fell asleep including Ezra.
They were all having happy dreams well almost all. Ezra was mumbling and thrashing instead of smiling.
Ezra's dream
He was in a dark room. He looked around and saw his crew bound on the wall. He tried to each out to them but suddenly realized he was also bound to the wall. He yelled out to them. "Hey! Are you okay?!?" "Help us!" Sabine said back as The crew looked at him scared. At that moment, the Grand inquisitor walked in. "Hello boy, I see your awake! Well I'll just get to the point so we don't waste our time. I have an offer, you join me and your crew lives or you deny and die with them so what will it be?" He held a smirk on face has if he knew which one he was going to chose. "No!" Ezra yelled. He was angered by this and said "Last chance Ezra Bridger." "No! I will never join you, baldey!" He grunted and went up to his big sister, Sabine and stabbed her in the chest. Ezra started crying and shaking his head. He walked up to his big brother, Zeb and stabbed him right where he stabbed Sabine. Ezra stared and started sobbing. "Noooo!" Ezra started yelling also. Kanan and Hera starting crying also. "Kanan I will always love you" Hera said. The inquisitor walked up to her and did the same thing he did with the rest of his family. He tossed his mum aside and walked towards Kanan. "As for you 'jedi'," he said most the most disgust he could muster, "will die in front of your padawan and will die the most gruesome." The Grand inquisitor raised his light saber and bring it down on his head. " Noooo! Kanan! Hera! Sabine! Zeb! Don't leave me! I'm sorry!" He yelled out to no one. The inquisitor smiled at his work and left the room. Ezra cried and cried wondering when the dream was going to end. All of a sudden, a gentle hand was placed on his shoulder. He gasped and looked up at the person and saw Hera and The crew. They looked back at him worried and stepped closer. "No! You're all dead!" He screamed at the crowd. They all jumped back his sudden outburst. Kanan was the first to step forward again and soon followed by the rest. "No we're not. Let us prove it." Kanan said in a soft and gentle way not to scare the boy any farther. "Ok" He stood up and suddenly realized his bounds were gone. He looked up at them but there was a sudden bright light.
End of dream
(After they all went to bed)
Kanan was awoken by a sudden disturbance in the force. It only took a moment to realized it was coming from Ezra. He jumped out of bed and ran to his cabin. He ran into the cabin to find Zeb shaking the kid who was thrashing around. Zeb looked back at Kanan with a face full of worry. "He having a nightmare" Kanan said as he tried to send calming waves to him but his nightmare was too strong to get through. He heard the door open with a 'swish' and in walked Sabine and Hera. Both looked mad that they were woken up but once they saw Ezra in his condition, the anger vanished quickly. They were then all startled by a scream erupting from Ezra. Hera run up to him and put her hand on him. She pulled her hand away just as quickly as she put it there. "He's burning up! He needs to go to the Med Bay now!" Hera yelled. "The nightmare is putting too much stress on his body." Kanan said worried. Zeb looked at Kanan then at Hera. She give him a nodded and Zeb picked up the squirming boy.
They all ran to the Med Bay and Hera yelled orders around like get water, cloths, and medical stuff. She dipped the cloth in the cold water and put in on the boy. He started crying and shaking his head moving the cloth. "What kind of nightmare does this?!?" Zeb asked thinking out aloud. "Apparently his does. I've never seen anything like this." Kanan said truthly. They looked at him and then back at the sick boy. They all jumped as the teen started screaming "Noooo!" He started thrashing again so they all ran up to hold him down. All of a sudden, Ezra eyes opened. They all looked at the boy shocked. His normal violet blue were now baby blue and his pupils were small. He continued kicking and Kanan yelled "He's still sleeping!" He suddenly stopped thrashing and they released him. He stared yelling their names and apologies instead and started sobbing. He started sending out strong waves of the force. Kanan felt them and so did The crew. They were all pushed back by the waves and Sabine yelled at Kanan, "What is happening?!?" "I don't know!" He replied. They we're all then pulled out of reality and sucked into Ezra's dream.
They looked around and saw themselves dead. They all gasped at the gruesome sight of themselves dead. They all of a suddenly heard a sob. They turned around and saw Ezra crying in the corner. They all wanted to cry at the vulnerable boy. The strong boy they grew to love was crying at their bodies but still not aware of The crew. Hera walked forward and crouched in front of him still not realizing. She placed a hand on him and he gasped. They all looked at the tear stained face and were saddened that he went through that. He started shouting and Kanan said he can prove it and he did.
The crew woke first and looked towards the bed. They stood up and hurried over to the bed, waiting for Ezra to awaken. When Ezra started stirring, The crew waited anxiously. He opened his but they were still baby blue and had small pupils. But slowly his eyes faded to the normal color and his pupils got large again. "Wow, hadn't had one of those in a while." Ezra said sitting up, grabbing his head. "One of what?" Sabine asked curiously. Ezra looked up at The crew. "I call them night horrors. I used to have them all the time before I came to the Ghost. I wouldn't wake up for days, being trapped in my own dreams." He said sadly. The crew looked at him shocked. Thinking 'he had those for days and no one to help him?!?Poor kid.' Ezra noticed the looks and quickly added, "But they've stopped since I joined. And thanks for waking me up. That would have been bad." They looked at him and Kanan said "We'll always be here for you, Ezra. And no kid should go through that alone." He got a chorus of 'yeah' and 'always'. He smiled at them and then all of a sudden, a stick was shoved into his mouth. He reached to take it out but got his hand slapped away. He looked over to the person who slapped him and saw Hera. "Don't you dare. You were running a high fever when he found you so I'm just checking." He sat there bored until the thermometer started beeping. Hera took it and said "99.0, it's going down so you may go back to your cabin." She said with a smile. He got up and started walking to his cabin. Ezra got into his bed and snuggled with his blanket and loth cat. Smiling, he fell asleep once again but this time peacefully. The crew did the same and this time, all had sweet dreams.
