Sabine Wren, a mandalorian warrior, a beautiful girl. Strong, brave, smart. She is all what a man is looking for. What an Imperial Officer want. But she doesn't like what the Empire want her to be. She wants to draw. She wants to be happy. She wants to be free. So she escaped from Mandalore. Escaped from everything she knew. Now, she's arrived at the planet of Lothal. She's staying with a kind family and their 7 years old child. Sabine always wondered why this family offered her a place to stay. But she never asked. She only cared to be hidden from the Empire. And by the way, she take care of the youngling when his parents were working.

"Sabine, why are you sad?" Asked the child.

Sabine shook her head, returning to present time and look at Ezra. He was looking at her with worried eyes.

"I'm not sad, Ezra." She said, messing with his hair.

Ezra wasn't happy with the answer.

"Liar! I know you're sad. Why deny it?"

Sabine sights. How he realized that? He's only only 7! Sabine look at him and saw a worried expression in his face.

"How did you know that I was sad?" She finally asked.

Ezra look down and started playing with his fingers. How he can explain this?

"Ezra? C'mon, you can tell me."

Ezra look at her, and took a deep breath.

"I felt that you were sad." He said playing more with his fingers.

"You felt me sad? Ezra, that's ridiculous. You can't tell how people are feeling just because you 'felt' their emotions." Sabine said to Ezra.

"But it's true that I can feel emotions!" Ezra was still arguing with Sabine. Sabine sights, she'll never convince him, will she? Sabine knelt down to Ezra's level.

"Look Ezra, yes I was sad because I was remembering some things that you are too young to understand. But that was momentary. Don't worry about me. I'm fine." She said smiling.

Ezra look at her, wondering if someone will ever able to understand him. He look down and went to his room and lay onto his bed, thinking.

Sabine watched him go to his room, and when he closed the door, she went outside to do some painting.

It was late, and the whole family was having dinner: meat with rice. Ezra was having trouble with the meat, so Sabine cut his meat in little pieces so he can eat them.

"So Sabine, how was your day?" Asked Ephraim.

"It was fine. Not much to tell, painting and practicing my combat skills." She said.

"May be you could teach Ezra some of your combat skills, Sabine. I am sure that you would be a great teacher for Ezra." Said Mira.

Sabine blushed a little by that. "Well, if you allow that, I'll teach him a little."

"I'd love it! Mommy! Daddy! Can Sabine teach me how to fight? Can she? Can she?" Ezra asks with enthusiasm and excitement.

Mira and Ephraim look each other smiling.

"It wouldn't be a problem if Sabine teach you a little. But you'll have to listen to her and be obedient." Said Mira.

Ezra burst on excitement. "Yay! Sabine's gonna teach me!" He get up from the table and hug his parents.

"Thank you mommy! Thank you daddy!" Ezra said.

Sabine smiled at that. Now she will have something to do aside painting.

"Sabine, can you put Ezra on bed, please?" Asked Mira.

"Of course, Miss Bridger. Come on Ezra. Time to bed." Said Sabine smiling and offering her hand to Ezra.

"Okay." Said Ezra taking her hand and the two of them headed to Ezra's room.

Sabine helped Ezra put on his pajamas, put the covers over him, gave him his Teddy and read him a story until he fell asleep.

As Sabine was going to her room, she heard something that made her froze. A beeping. And a constant one. Immediately, she run to her room, grabbed her dual pistols, put her helmet and headed to Ezra's window trying to be as quietly as possible. There, she look out to the streets, and there they were. At the door. Stormtropers. They planted a bomb on the door and were waiting to explode.

Sabin rushed to the first plant.

"Miss Bridger! Mister Bridger!" She screamed going down the stairs.

"Sabine! What happened? Why you're screaming?" Asked Ephraim.

Before Sabine could respond, the bomb exploded, and gas filled the room. Soon, the house was full of Stormtroopers, and they surrounded Mira and Ephraim. Luckily, they didn't see Sabine.

"Mira and Ephraim Bridger. You are under arrest for treason to the Empire." Said the commander.

"With what proves are you doing this?!" Screamed Mira.

"We intercepted one of your transmissions, and it lead us here. You cannot deny this fact."

Mira found Sabine, and with a look she said all what she wanted: 'take Ezra and get out of here!'

Sabine, with some tears on her eyes, go upstairs quietly searching for Ezra.

When she entered on his room, he wasn't there. She looked under the bed and on the closet. But he wasn't on his room. Time was running out. Suddenly, she heard some silent cries. Those cries guided her to the Bridger's room. When she entered, the cries were on the closet. So she opened it. On the closet, at the bottom, was Ezra. Crying, and with her knees on his chest and his arms hugging them.

"Ezra." Whispered Sabine.

Ezra looked up and fear appeared on his eyes.

"Don worry Ezra. It's me. Sabine." She said, taking her helmet off.

Ezra, when he saw her, he lunged to her and hugged her. Sabine rubs his back.

"Come on. We have to go." She said, picking him up. Sabine take some covers and Ezra's Teddy and headed to the back door, going out to streets.

"Mommy and daddy will be okay?" He asked. Sabine, knowing the answer, hid it lying.

"I don't know, Ezra. But tomorrow we'll return here and see what we can find." Sabine said.

"Sabine?"

"Yes?"

"I'm scared." Ezra said hiding more his head on Sabin's chest. Sabine could feel his fast and shaky breathing on her chest.

"Don't worry, Ezra. I'll be with you. Okay? But I need you to be strong and brave." Sabine felt that Ezra nodded, and she goes outside the city. The weather is cold, but it won't be a problem with all the covers that Sabine took. She run and run until they reached to a cave hidden enough to be safe from the imperials. The cave was small, but big enough for them to lay down and sleep. She put half of the covers on the floor, so they could be work as a bed and lay down.

"Ezra, we're safe now. You can look." She said. But there was no response from the youngling. She took off her helmet and put it on her side. She look at Ezra and saw that he had fallen asleep while she was running. She didn't realized before that she carried a 7 years old child, along with heavy covers for more than 2 kilometers without stop. She could feel her heart beating fast. She was breathing hard for the lack of oxygen. But as long as they're safe, she didn't care. She took the other half of the covers and put them over their bodies. The night will be cold and they needed to be warm. Luckily for them, the extra heat that she produced running will be taken by the covers. Sabine couldn't calm down for at last 30 minutes, but for she, that felt like 3 hours. Sabine's head was full of thoughts: 'will they be okay? What will happen to Ezra? What if-' Sabine heard a quiet snoring. It was Ezra. She didn't know why, but his snoring calm her down completely. She made a promise to herself: 'whatever what happen, I'll protect him with my life.' Was her last thought before falling asleep.

Okay, I made this story because I've been having this idea for a long time, but couldn't make it. Tell me if you liked this story so I can continue with this. Also, I'm already doing the seventh chapter of The Mermaid of the Force, but it's getting difficult to write it. It's not the school, I have already ended school. Is that I put something that put me in a very long thinking situation. I'll do my best to complete the chapter, don't worry. Anyway, tell me if you liked this story, and see you on the next chapter ;)
