Kanan POV

"Oh thank the Force! Ezra you're awake!" I just couldn't hold my relief in when Ezra finally woke up.

Ezra at up, breathing heavily. "What?" Was the first thing that came out of him.

"Hey kid, easy! You've been unconscious for three days."

He lay down again and tried to get his breathing under control.

"Kanan I dreamed so strange. I was in a room with so many doors who were all locked. I had accidentally pushed the key under a door and when that doors opened two figures came out. They looked very shocked when they noticed me. "

"Do you know who they were?"

I saw him hesitate. He shook his head.

But why hesitate if the answer was no? There was something that he wasn't telling me. The only question was: What?

"Well for now rest a bit." I had already turned away to walk out of the room.

"That can you forget. I just have been sleeping for three days." Ezra jumped from the bed in the med bay. He walked past me.

"No way." I stopped him by force.

"Kanan! Let me go!" He tried to get free, but was still too weak and had to recuperate.

So I thought ...

"Let! Me! Go!" Ezra shouted pronouncing each word angrily. A wave of dark force pushed me backwards and I lost my grip on Ezra.

With my head I had landed hard against the wall, but I just shake with my head and my vision went back to normal.

Ezra was sitting on his knees as he was staring at his hands.

Ezra POV

After using a few hours ago the dark side because I got a little bit angry, I had agreed to Kanan and I had lied back on the bed in the med bay.

What happened to me?

I was just slightly irritated and five seconds later I sent Kanan flying through the room.

You put them in danger.

Huh? I sat up quickly so I could scan the room with my eyes.

Nobody.

And yet I heard ...

Oh yes, you heard us loud and clear .

My head shot in all directions. I recognized that voice from somewhere.

Voces. We are with two yes. Best offensive. Do I sound like a man for you?

Hey or I as a woman? Even worse.

I did not get it. "What the ...?"

Oh right.

You're dangerous. You're going to hurt them. And that is something you do not want, right?

"I would never hurt them. They are my friends! Family!" Man I can't believe that I actually talked back.

We can help you. There is a way that makes sure you will never hurt them.

Was I really considering something that was offered by a voice in my head?

Excuse us. Voces.

Pff. Better knowers. (is there another better word for that? ~SLR)

We can hear everything you think!

"And what is that way? Die?"

No no. You understand us wrong my boy. Come to us and we'll show you.

"And why would I trust you ... uh you two?"

You don't want them hurt.

"Yes but..."

Let's put it differently.

The patience of the voices seemed to be up. Short fuse.

If you refuse, we ensure that they suffer pain.

A twinge of fear shot through my whole body.

Hmm ... fear. Your fear makes us only stronger boy. So I would just do as you're told or that "family" of you will experience a lot of pain.

More fear bubbled up.

"I can't leave here. Kanan has locked the door from the outside." I tried as an excuse.

Even you doesn't believe that by yourself.

I swallowed and looked up at the opening of a ventilation shaft.

Come to us boy. We are the only solution.

With my whole body stiff with the fear and doubt, I did what they said and crawled into the vent. Right through the ship to eventually get into the cargo space.

Come on.

My body now seemed to respond only to the voice.

Better already start to shiver boy. You will meet some ghosts of your past.

Literally...

That happened and with the new fear, I made sure that whoever they might be, had got more power. With that I lost all control of my body.

Only with my consciousness that still belonged to myself, I felt that I was heading for Capital City.

Kanan POV

"He didn't even get that angry."

"Yes honey that you have been saying for over twenty times now in this last few hours. Let it rest now. "

"But..."

"Kanan!"

I sighed and hung me even deeper into the chair. In some point maybe I understood Hera, I sat here now for three hours or so, talking about my worries for Ezra.

"Instead of bothering me, not that I don't love your presence, but go talk to him" She turned her chair toward me. "I also am worried about him. We all do, but all those jedi stuff I do not understand. Just go talk to him. "

She turned away from me and went back to what she always did.

With another sigh, I stand up from the chair. Maybe she was right, maybe I should just go talk to Ezra. Perhaps meditating helped him. Maybe it helped me ...

Many maybies.

Zeb seemed to sleep. Sabine was probably painting. Because I did not either see one of them.

My finger was about to unlock the door to the med bay when I felt it.

Ezra!

The door of the med bay went of the lock, which makes it showed me the present in the room.

If there had been.

The room was empty.

Ezra was gone...
