Chapter 3.8
This chapter was so hard to write! I don't have much time to write anymore and I don't feel well to write... but I'll try... anyway enjoy and leave a comment :D
Ezra's POV:
I walked around the market and asked a few people where I could find fuel, but it looked like nobody had fuel. Except for the Empire of course, but no way I can manage to get it from them...
"*beeping noises*"
"No R4. We're not going to Barriss her old home."
"*protesting beeping noises*"
"Please, R4... Not now! C'mon we have to hu-"
A loud scream interrupted me and I followed it leading me to a small alley. I saw 4 guys and a little girl who cried for help.
"Hush little one, we won't hurt you if you just come with us." One of the guys said.
"Leave me alone! VENTY!! HELP ME!!!" The girl cried.
"Nobody will hear you, child!" A tall guy yelled.
"Too bad I heard her." I said with narrowed eyes, taking a better grip on my lightsaber and blaster.
"Mind your own business, dude! She is ours!" The tall one yelled at me.
I know those guys...
"From where?"
The streets... They are my age... I was stuck in the girl's situation many times before I joined the crew...
"Did anybody help you when they heard you?"
No, Barriss. Nobody ever helped me. I was a rat and rats are useless, worthless things.
"Then don't help her and walk away. The guy is right. None of your business."
No, Maul. I am not like them.
I walked closer and the guys took out their knifes and were ready to attack me when I'd come closer. And guess... I came closer.
"Wrong alley, dude!" a short one yelled while attacking me.
"Not at all! This was the alley I was looking for!" I yelled back.
I defended myself without using my lightsaber and blaster and managed to take down 3 of the 4 guys. The leader was standing in front of me with his knife close to the girl's neck.
"Now I remember you... Ezra? Bridger... right?"
"So it's true what they said, you have a brain. The size of a Jogan, but you still have one." I grinned.
He bared his teeth and tried to scare me, but I wasn't done. I took my lightsaber and ignited it.
"Y-you...A-are..."
"Yes I am a Jedi. Let the girl go and I'll let you go."
He nodded, dropped the knife, pushed the girl against the wall and ran away.
"Coward..." I whispered to myself while I smiled.
I walked over to the girl and helped her up. And now I was able to see her whole face... she was the girl of my vision, the little togruta who wanted to play with me!
"Thank you... You saved my life!"
"You're welcome." I smiled "Where are your parents?"
"My mother is at home, But I came with my aunt, I lost her in the crowd..."
"Don't worry, we'll find her. Can I know your name?" I calmed her.
She hesitated but told me anyway.
"Barrel." She said giving me small smile.
When I hear her name, I had to keep in my laughter. I didn't want to hurt her feelings...
"Go on and laugh. I am not a barrel, my name is Barrel, okay?"
"Sorry... You don't hear that name every day, right? Anyway... I am Ezra."
"Ezra Bridger?"
"Yes."
"Like Spectre-6 of the Ghost Crew? The Rebels?"
"Do I have a fan?" I laughed.
"I heard a lot of stories about you! My mom knows you! Come with me, please!"
"Your mom? I don't know if I have that much time... My uncle is waiting at our ship. We're out of fuel and-"
"We can help with that! When we find my aunt, we can go to my home and there we can give you some fuel and bring it to your ship! Pleeeeaaase?"
She gave me adorable puppy eyes and I couldn't say no... We walked back to the markets and I saw R4 talking with a woman.
"Aunt Venty!"
The girl ran towards the woman and hugged her close.
"Don't ever get out of my eyes again, miss! Your mother would kill me!"
Barrel explained everything to her aunt and she thanked me and introduced herself.
"My name is Asajj Ventress. Call me Ventress."
After I introduced myself she became quiet and she got nervous... I wondered why... We walked towards their home and I tried to break the silence...
"Hey Barrel, how did your parents come up with your name?"
"It's a combination of two things... The name of my mother's old friend and the word Rebel." She smiled at me and kept on going
"We're almost there." Ventress said.
A last question went through my head...
"Barrel, what was de name of your mother's friend?"
I looked at the house that came into view and I realized where we were... R4 cheered because they brought us to Barriss her old home... but I was thinking about more than that. A lot of things went through my head... I looked at Barrel waiting for an answer and I got an answer...
"Barriss. Her friend her name was Barriss..."
On that moment a person left the house and stood a few feet away from me, the person who seemed to be a female Togruta dropped her hood and showed her face...
And then... my world froze...
