Chapter 7

Everyone had woken up at twenty to eleven the nest morning since no of had managed to get much sleep the night before thanks to the storm; the same storm that was still attacking the world outside their house. As they sat down to eat breakfast, Kanan and Ezra explained what they had heard on the news last night; they were all mortified!! The man took his wife and brother to the side and quietly explained what Ezra had discussed and admitted to him during their late night mug of hot chocolate whilst all of the children went to find some games and music. "I can't believe he thought about suicide" Hera had tears in her eyes as her husband embraced her "did he say if he's ever...tried to??" Kenobi asked but thankfully, his brother shook his head. "No, he said he was never able to go through with it...somethings always made him stop" Kanan explained "he promised to talk to someone in the house if he ever feels or thinks like that again...but for now he's happy" Hera smiled at that "let's hope he does....we'll have to keep an eye on him, maybe think about sending him to a Councillor who can be more helpful??" she suggested earning two nods. The kids returned, all looking excited "come on!! We're having a dance batter" Ahsoka exclaimed; things were about to be amusing. It began with:

Kenobi vs Ahsoka - Rather Be.
Hera vs Kanan - Be Somebody.
Zeb vs Sabine - Timber.

Ezra and Anakin were the judges; they was laughing so much that their stomachs and sides hurt. After the three dance battles were over, Ezra and Anakin spoke and decided the winners "okay!! So the winners of this round, as well as who will be going into the second round are.....Ahsoka!! Kanan!! And Sabine!!" Ezra exclaimed in an overly dramatic voice worthy for Britain's Got Talent. They all cheered and clapped, as well laughing. For the second round, the losers and Ezra were the judges as Anakin joined in.

Kanan vs Sabine - Runaway Baby.
Ahsoka vs Anakin - Grenade.

Round two was over and so the judge's crowded around one another, discussing until they had each decided and agreed. "The two winners for this round are....Anakin!! And Kanan!!" Hera exclaimed, copying Ezra on the overly dramatic voice; they all once again clapped and cheered. "Before the third round however, Ezra and Kanan will be going up against each other to see who will go head to head with Anakin" Ahsoka declared; that surprised the youngest of the group but he soon got on with it.

Kanan vs Ezra - Thrift Shop (nightcore style).

No one expected the moves Ezra came out with; he was amazing!! He also made it look so much easier then it actually was too. "The winner, and Anakin's last challenge, is...Ezra!!" Zeb also copied the silly voice as they all once again clapped and cheered. The two original judges stepped into the middle of the room, waiting for the music to start; they danced to Cheap Thrills. It was so close as both were both incredible!!The new  judge's were going to have a hard time picking a winner. Once the dance battle ended, the winner was told by Kanan, who of course, mimicked the overly dramatic voice earning many laughs "and the winner is.......both!!" he exclaimed "we can't decide so it's a tie!!". Never the less, they each cheered and clapped, all very happy with the results. Anakin ruffled Ezra's hair as they walked to the kitchen to grab some lunch, a sigh of good sportsmanship. They spoke when all of a sudden, the thunder could be heard getting louder when....the power went out!! "Great" Hera sighed; they all went around the house and made sure all the plugs and lights were switched off. Kanan and Kenobi grabbed the candles front the basement; Hera, Sabine and Ahsoka lit and placed them everywhere. They all met up in the living room to find Ezra sat at the window watching the storm - just like last night. He snapped out of his trance and joined the family to play some boards games and cards; it was actually really fun. 

Suddenly, there was a bang at the door "who'd be out in this storm!?" Sabine asked suspiciously; her brother left and answered the door. "Em...can I help you?" he asked, the drenched man looked at the teen and nodded "maybe you can, I'm looking for a boy, goes by the name of Phantom" he yelled trough the storm; the answer surprised Zeb. The others could hear the conversation and they were shocked as well; they all looked over at Ezra who seemed angry, annoyed and slightly scared. "Ezra??" Hera spoke but the boy just jumped up "don't call me that right now" was all he said before making his way to the door. As soon as the man saw the teen, he smirked "Phantom, long time no see" the family joined Zeb in the hall as Ezra stood in front of the man at the door. "What do you want Kallus!?" Ezra asked, anger and seriousness strong in his voice "not much, I have a job that needs doing and you're the only person I know that can do it" he explained casually "just like last time, you in or out??" the guy, Kallus, asked. This worried the family by the fact that this grown man was asking a child to do a job, and what was the job?! "Not a chance Kallus!! You really think I'm gonna help you after what happened last time?!" Ezra asked, anger clear in his voice "you left me for dead after making me smuggle the drugs and alcohol!!" that shocked and horrified family, yet Kallus just seemed to roll his eyes "come on Phantom, you'll be earning fifty quid". Ezra wasn't backing down and it was clear "I said no!! And I mean it!!" the boy exclaimed "I don't need the money anyway, what I did on the streets was the past...I don't do that stuff anymore" Kallus just laughed at that statement "get real Phantom, you really think this pathetic family are going to allow you to stay??" he asked "you're a street rat...an orphan...a pathetic waste of space" he spat "you wait and see, they'll beat you to the bone, chuck you out onto the streets and the old you will come back, and you'll be running back to me for jobs in no time" every word the man said angered each family member and made their heart's feel like a dagger was stabbing them. They all waited for Ezra's witty come back but...it never came...he just stayed silent. The boy looked down, suddenly finding his feet interesting "see...you know it's true" Kallus smirked until Ezra finally began to speak "no, you're wrong...they're different from all the other!!..They care, they don't beat me or shout" he glared at the man "they...they're better....and I'm not going to do a stupid job that might risk my life!!" and with that, the teen slammed the door shut.
