Third Person POV
Zeb was 15 years old, he had already been to military school on Lasan. He thought he had a pretty good life until the day the Empire came. They destroyed everything. He and a few others escaped. Zebs parents had been part of the less fortunate.
Zeb was now wandering Lothal looking for a place to stay. he walked around he was about to find somewhere to live. When he made it to the market, he was going past an alley. He heard some yelling and crying. When he went down the alley he found about seven teenage boys surrounding a little girl. She had black hair, an orange dress, and black shoes.
There was one thing Zeb couldn't stand, bullying. He shouted "Hey! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" The boys turned around and said "What are you going to do about Furry?" Zeb got mad and went over "I'll give you one more chance leave the girl alone or else." One of the boys said "Or else what?" Zeb turned to him and punched him right in the face. The so called "leader" of the group said "I'm Luke, how would you like to join our group?" Zeb said "Like I would ever join a group of cowards!" The boys got mad and went after Zeb, but with Zebs size and knowledge it was easy to keep them off.
Zeb POV
Once those boys were gone I ran over to the little girl. She was crying and holding her wrist. I bent down and said "Come here I won't hurt you." She looked up at wrapped her arms around my neck I said "Where does it hurt?" She showed me her was swollen and had a bruise. If it wasn't broke it would be a miracle. I said "Don't worry it'll be okay, so where's your parents?" She started crying and said "I think they are in the market. I got lost and those boys started being mean to me." I said "Don't worry I'll help you find them."
I carried the little girl, now known as Ezzie, through the market. All of a sudden u heard someone calling her name. I turned and saw a man and a woman who looked like Ezzie. I pointed them out to her and she said it was her parents. She Jude off my shoulders and ran towards the . I was behind her the whole way to make sure she didn't get lost again.
The woman saw me and said "Oh thank you for finding my little baby! What's your name dear? I said "Your welcome ma'am and I'm Garazeb Orielrrileos." She smiled and said "Well thank you again for saving our baby, but you had better get back to to your parents, they must be worried sick." I frowned and said "My parents are...Dead." She gasped and said "Oh im sorry dear, who are you staying Within?" I said "I don't have a place to stay I was looking for a safe place to spend the night when j found Ezzie." She said "No that just won't do, you are going with us, we can adopt you, I mean if you would like." I smiled and said "I would love to."
The man and woman introduced themselves as Mira and Eiphram Bridger. They insisted that I call the mom and dad though.
When we got back to their house, they had a spare bedroom. It had a bed, a desk, and a small chest. I didn't really have anything except my bo-rifle and a picture of my parents. Mom and dad said they would take me to the market tomorrow.
That night we had some dinner and we talked for a bit. After a while Ezzie fell asleep in her dads arms and we all went to bed.
I knew I was going to be okay. Maybe not as good as I was on Lassan, but better than on the streets.
