Ezra's P.O.V

I wasn't sure how long I was in here for but it was driving my crazy. When would this person show up? Not that I mind that they are not here yet. This just gives me more time to think of an escape plan.

   The door slides open to reveal a figure standing at the door. I couldn't see who it was since it was so dark. "Who are you?" I asked curiously. "Why, you don't remember?" An all to familiar voice said then showed them self walking into the light of the cell. My eyes widen and my blood ran cold with fear. I thought he was dead! Wait....my vision!

   "Let's see," my slave master said looking at a holopad with my information on it. "Slave 110-oh, S or should I say the 'silent orphan.' Yet, it seems you can talk once again," He said making me mad. The 'S' meant special as in I was a special slave. I don't know why I'm labeled that but it was a rare thing in camps.

   "No thanks to you," I said back and flinched when I looked into his blood red eyes.

   "I haven't heard a peep out of you since....your parents were transferred because they were worthless slaves just like their son," he said.

   "Shut up," I said through gritted teeth.

   "Or what?" He challenged and I just looked at the ground. My slave master knew all of my fears because he made them himself. He forced me into being scared of things like my fear of tight spaces. "That's what I thought," he said.

   This is why I call Kanan by his name instead of master. It just felt like I was my slave self again. Yet, here I am.

   "So how's your sister?" He asked and I looked up at him confused.

   "I don't have a sister," I spat glaring at him. He seemed a little amused with me being angry. "We shall see about that but for now..." He paused then put the bottom of my head in his hand. He forced me to look at him making my heart stop. "Tell me about your friends," he said sending chills down my spine.

   "N-No," I said and he started to put some pressure by squeezing my jaw. It hurt but not much. "Tell me now or else this will get more and more painful while staying here," he said.

   "Sorry, I don't take orders from a walking blueberry," I said making him ticked off. He clutched as hard as he could making it hurt a lot more. It sort of felt like my face was being smushed. I tried to get his grip off of my face but it seemed like he just tightens his grip even more. I grunt in pain and almost scream but I didn't want him to hear my pain. It would just make me look weak.

That's what he sees me as, a weak little boy in his cold eyes. That's what I see in myself as well when he is near. A predator feeding off its pray's fear and pain.

   He finally lets go by shoving me down hard. My head hits the wall and I start to rub it. My master stops at the door and says, "Your punishment starts tomorrow, unless you feel like talking?"

   I keep my lips sealed. "Oh, I see. You are going silent again. No matter, to defeat your enemy you must know them and dear boy...I know almost everything there is to know about my slaves," he said smirking then left.

   I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding and kept feeling my hands shake uncontrollably. No, this can't be happening again. This can't!

   'Ezra!' I jumped but relaxed when realization hit me. 'Kanan!' I said through our bond.

   'Are you alright? Did they hurt you?' He asked.

   'Not yet,' I said through the force.

   'I got your location. Hang in there we are coming to get you,' Kanan said sending reassurance.

   I smiled even in this situation. Kanan and the crew didn't abandon me! At first I thought they did but Kanan and the others are coming! Yet, how long would it take until they arrived? I'm probably going to get the worst torture I ever had for the stunt that was pulled back at the camp. That includes joining rebels and fighting the Empire.

   'I'm dead,' I thought paling at the possibility of the crew not getting here on time.

   "No, they will make it," I said to myself, "I just have to survive through it all tomorrow and not break." Confidence filled me as I laid down to get some rest before tomorrow came.
