Chapter 7
Ezra's P.O.V
'Dustin?' I thought, 'who's Dustin?' I felt nervous waves come from dad and making me feel uncomfortable about the new presence. The person snickered evilly towards us and chuckled. I was ready to fight but wondered why they were laughing.
"Who are you?" I said, glaring at the clocked figure. "Why, you don't remember me?" The person said, "Oh well, it was a pretty long time ago and you were still pretty young." Then the clocked figure pulled down there hood to reveal a woman with cold yellow eyes. Her dark blue hair was pulled up into a bun and her skin was extremely pale.
The woman wore a black imperial suit with the red light saber in hand. Spector 1, what are we going to do?" I asked dad but he seemed concentrated on the woman. "Cute, you have little code names for each other," the woman chuckled deviously. She stopped but kept on smiling, "Now, it's time to stop playing around and give me back my apprentice or should I say............my son."
This took me back a little and I could even feel Kanan's shock through the force. "Oh, you didn't know and I'm guessing that he didn't tell you that you were kidnapped from me?" She said. I gripped my lightsaber and teeth, letting out a small growl. "Look lady, I'm not sure how hard you've been hit in the head cause I'm not your son!" I yelled and felt myself tremble.
I didn't know if my trembling was the sign of rage or fear but I kept staring daggers at the woman. "Why would that be?" She said but continued, "Cause you don't want to face the truth, don't you." "Run," I heard dad say and we both sprinted back to the Ghost. The scary part of this mission was that I knew that she was telling the truth with help from the force.
'No, she's just messing with my head,' I thought and kept running. As we kept going, I kept thinking on what that woman said. I wanted answers and there was only two people that knew who had them. Mom and dad. I was pulled out of my train of thought when I realized that we made it to the bay. Dad and I made a run for it until we were getting shot at.
"Come on!" Sabine yelled from the Ghost and Zeb was standing next to her, both firing their weapons at the storm troopers. Dakota was behind them and watching me and dad run like there was no tomorrow. We made it up the ramp and me and dad turned around to activate our lightsabers and block shots. I saw the woman in the clock stand and watch us leave.
The ramp closed and we flew away and successfully escaped the grasp of the Empire another day. I turned around and looked around until I spotted dad. I walked up to him and looked him in the eye. "Is what she said true?" I asked and hoping that he laughs at me for thinking such a thing. Instead though, he hesitates and it seemed like he was still trying to figure out himself.
He lets out a guilty sigh and stares sadly at me. I backed up and look at the ground in shock and saddened. "Ezra, I can explain." I look up to see dad hesitating. He laid a hand on my shoulder, a hand that I trust with my life but now it feels like a strangers hand. I look up and stare straight into his eyes and say, "Who are you?" I don't let him answer but instead, run out of the room and lock myself in me and Zeb's room.
Kanan's P.O.V
I saw him run before I could say a thing. I was going to go after him but was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I looked over my shoulder to see Sabine. She took her helmet off and said, "Let him cool off before you try anything else." I nodded in agreement cause she was right, Ezra had to take in a lot in just less than an hour.
"Besides," Zeb started, "You can explain to us what just happened." "I will later," I said, "but Ezra deserves to know first." Zeb and Sabine nod and Dakota is sitting on the side lines awkwardly. "Sabine, Zeb, take Dakota to the common room," I ordered, "I'm going to have a little chat with Hera." "Alright chief," Zeb said and the two girls followed him.
I made my way to the cockpit and entered. Hera sat back in the pilot seat and relaxing from the get away. I sat down in the seat next to her and said in a serious tone, "We need to talk." Hera looked over at me and put the Ghost on auto pilot. She turned to me, "What is it love?" "Ezra knows," I said. "Knows what?" She asked. "That we aren't his real parents," I responded.
"How, what happened?" She asked worried about the boy. I explained how we met the Sith Lord from our first mission again and that it was Ezra's mother. Hera was beyond shocked that I thought I had the same expression on my face when I figured it out. It wasn't very difficult to see the similarities between Ezra and the woman.
Hera was silent and taking it all in. "How's Ezra holding up?" She asked. "He's in his and Zeb's room right now, I'm giving him time to be alone." I was forcing myself to not stand up and go comfort him cause he needed some space from everything right now. "Ok," Hera said and stood up. "What are you doing?" I asked and hoped she wasn't going to see Ezra.
"I'm going to make some supper," she said and left the cockpit. I decided to stay in the seat and think of how to explain to a fourteen year old about the past.
*time skip*
Ezra's P.O.V
'Who am I?' I thought laying on my bed with puffy red eyes from crying and a stuffy nose. I trusted them my whole life then turn around and stab me in the back. They were lying to me my almost my whole life. Questions spun in my head and I wanted answers but laying here, acting like a baby won't get them.
But after all that's happened, how can I trust them to explain to me the truth? They've lied to me and I'm not sure if there was anything else that they said that was false. 'Who else knew about this? Where did I come from? Where is my real dad? Who am I?!' I held my head in anger and decided that I wanted answers and now.
I heard a knock on the door. "It's Hera and Kanan," I heard Hera say through the door. I laid here and thought to tell them to go away but the urge for answers won. I used the force to open the door and stared at the wall. I could feel shock come from both of them but they still came in. Something smelled good and it made my stomach growl.
"We brought you some supper," Hera said gently. I looked over my shoulder and saw the food and my stomach said that I was hungry but I turned it down. I heard a sigh and the sound of a tray being set down on the table. "Ezra, can you come down here?" Kanan asked. I rolled off the bed and landed on my feet. I walked over and sat between the two. 'This was it and there was no going back,' I thought and saw the door shut.
