Aftermath
Here is the next chapter. I do hope you enjoy.
Seventh Sister POV
I groaned as I sat up, the encounter running through my head.
"I had them both," I growled hitting my fist against a crate.
"An yet they were able to elude you," Fifth brother snarked standing to his feet.
I glared at him before getting up as well.
"They won't be able to get away so easily next time," I spat before stalking to my ship.
Once I was inside and away from his prying eyes, I let myself relax a bit. I know of Kanan Jarrus, Jedi leader, but for just a moment he looked like Caleb. It still saddens me to think that he died the day of Order 66. He was my one and only friend and I miss him so. A part of me wonders why I told the boy my secret. It was almost like the force wanted me to, but that was impossible. Oh well, I guess its back to the Star Destroyer for another training session and to make new plans.
Kanan POV
A few hours have passed since rescuing the kids from the Inquisitors. Ezra had been clinging to me and quite frankly I didn't blame him. Something like that can be traumatizing for a kid. Sabine on the other hand has been locked in her room, painting, while Hera was the only one she permitted in.
I sighed sitting down on the bed.
"What a day?" I yawned laying back.
I glanced over at Ezra as he began to whimper.
"Please no, we won't..."
"Shh...it's okay, I'm here," I soothed brushing back his hair from his face.
"Papa," he said his voice aching.
"Ez," I called softly, rubbing my thumb against his scars.
He jerked away from me and buried his head into the blanket.
"Ezra, what did she do to you?" I asked scooting closer to my son.
He started crying and I had enough. Pulling him into my arms I placed my forehead against his and dove into the force.
Ezra's nightmare
Kanan POV
I heard a voice talking followed by whimpering. Getting closer, I realized that it was Ezra and the Inquistor.
"Why must you resist?" She asked him, holding her hand out to his face.
Ezra cringed trying to keep the inquisitor out of his mind. I couldn't help but cringe with him as I felt the pain too.
"Padawans can be so difficult," she said withdrawing.
"Please, stop," he begged. "You were ripped away from everything. It wasn't right, but my Master can help you."
The female Inquistor growled and ignited her lightsaber.
"Your master is weak, he can't save anyone, not even you," she said pointing the blade at him.
I could hardly take the look on my baby boy's face. Tears welled up in his eyes and the inquisitor swung striking him across the chest. Ezra's scream was so loud that the room shook.
"Ezra!" I called gaining their attention.
"Well well, look who's here," the sith sneered.
I glared at her taking out my saber.
"Get away from my son," I spat moving so I could pull Ezra to me.
The Inquisitor smirked and before I could react she stabbed Ezra through the chest.
"Noooooooo!"
Reality
Kanan POV
I gasped coming out of meditation. Ezra woke up with a scream and started crying.
"Shh...shh...it's okay, it's okay," I soothed wrapping my arms around him tightly. "You're safe Ezra, you're safe, you're home, with me. She can't hurt you, it's okay."
Ezra buried his head against my chest gripping my shirt in his hands.
"It's okay Baby Boy, it's okay," I whispered holding him tighter.
"It was awful," he said after a few minutes. "She kept entering my head, trying to take information on you guys. I kept pushing her out but she always came back. It hurt so much," he cried.
"I know, I know, it does hurt, but I'm here, I will make you better. I promise," I whispered running a hand through his hair and kissed his forehead.
He continued to cry and I continued to hold him, cursing the Empire for causing my son so much pain.
"Papa," Ezra hiccuped once his tears subsided.
"Yes Little Light," I said moving so I could see his face.
"I'm sorry," he said a look of shame flashing across his eyes.
"For what?" I asked.
"If I had been stronger or faster we wouldn't have gotten caught," he whispered closing his eyes.
My poor little boy.
"Ezra," I said. "EJ, Son, look at me."
After a few moments he looked up at me. Smiling, I kissed his forehead and started rubbing his back.
"Ezra, how old are you?" I asked quietly.
"Thirteen," he answered.
"How long have you been training?" I asked.
"Not long," he responded.
"Right, which means no one would blame you for what happened. You are young and went up against an Inquisistor. You protected your sister and escaped with minor injuries. I call that a success," I reassured him.
"But..why does it feel like my brain is getting torn in two?" He asked shivering.
"Because she tore at your shields and pretty much wrecked them," I answered grabbing a blanket and wrapping it around him.
"So my brain is damaged?" he whispered.
"No, but we are gonna have to repair your shields through meditation," I chuckled before turning serious.
"As much as I don't want to know, I need to know what happened exactly."
Ezra POV
I shivered, burying my face back in his chest, not wanting to relive those memories.
"EJ, what did she do to you?"
"Talked mostly," I mumbled. "But she would touch my face, rub my scars, call me handsome."
His hands stilled in my hair for a moment before continuing their running.
"What did she talk about?" He asked.
"Said that she was one that nearly killed me when I was small," I said. "Then she said that she use to be a part of the Jedi Order. In fact she said that her first friend was a padawan, named Caleb Dume. Is that true?"
NPOV
Kanan took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
"I don't know," he answered before changing the subject. "Is that all?"
Ezra nodded suddenly feeling sleepy again.
"Get some rest Son. You'll be safe, I promise," Kanan said tucking the blanket back around him.
The boy nodded closing his eyes and cuddling closer to his father's chest. Kanan kissed his forehead tenderly and let his own body relax.
'It can't be her,' he thought to himself. 'Last I heard she had died during the order. I'm gonna have to do some meditating. I have to protect them, I just have to.'
So Kanan knows now. Can only hope he doesn't do anything stupid. Hehehe.... by the way who else is loving season 4?
Please let me know what you thought and have a wonderful day!
