Ezra's POV:

I left them behind and ran towards my tower.

I knew I didn't had to let them sleep in my room! I forgot what I left there... maybe they took more stuff? Well... the other things weren't important for me anyway. I hid the lightsaber because nobody must know that I'm force sensitive. My dad said that if I told someone, they would tell the Empire and the Empire will try to make me their apprentice. First I thought: Okay! Then I have a master! But dad cut me off... "they will train you in the ways of the dark side. Do you want that?" My answer was always no. My dad told me that every time when we finished training. Till our last one. I will never forgive myself for what I then did.

Flashback

Troopers surrounded us.

"Weapons down and nobody will get hurt!" The agent in charge yelled.

Mom and dad did what they said and mom walked towards me.

"Ezra. We love you. Never forget that." She whispered

"I love you too." I said shaking from fear.

"Prove it, my son."

I didn't knew what she meant.

"Run. And don't turn back."

I shook my head.

"No mom. I don't leave you."

"If you love us, my son. Then you do."

She and dad gave me a kiss and walked towards the troopers with their hands in the air.

"We surrender. But let our son go." Dad yelled.

"What about no?" The agent said smiling.

"Then we do it on our way." Mom said.

Mom and dad pushed everyone away with the force and yelled their last words before the inquisitor beside the agent hit them with his red lightsaber.

"RUN! May the force be with you, always."

They said that last part through the force... only I could hear it. When I reached the city I turned around. I could still see them. Laying on the ground. With the inquisitor standing in front of them. Troopers wanted to follow me, but they didn't. I could hear the inquisitor talking in my head.

"No, let him go. He'll die without our help."

After that I turned back around and started running as fast as my little legs could. Tears fell of my face when I realized that I was alone. Alone. Something I never was. And now, will be for the rest of my life.

end of flashback

I was still walking. Now, with tears escaping my eyes. I entered my tower and lay down on my bed while I was looking at my old lightsaber. I lay there for about 30 minutes and then I placed it in a box beneath my bed. In the box was a small blanket. It hid what was in it. I folded it open and placed my lightsaber in it. Next to the ones of my parents. I wrote something on the inside of the box on the first day I was alone.

"Died with love. Saving their sons life. Meanwhile taking it with them to heaven."

It was right. My parents saved my life, but in the meanwhile they leftme alone. And that changed me. I'm not the same anymore. Sometimes I hate it tocall myself Bridger, because I know I'm not the Bridger I was. That's thereason why I'll never say my name. And if someone asks it. I say that my name'sArze. My real name spelled backwards. I hate my real name. It shows someone I'mnot. I just hate myself, because I'm the alone coward who left his parents fordeath.
