Hey Everyone!
This is something I was thinking while reading a SWR story.
A what if shot.
Enjoy!
Ezra POV
"Kid, you can either come with me and learn the way of the force or stay here scavenging for parts for the rest of your life."
I want to help people, I want to have a happy life. But I can't, even if I was given a second chance I would just ruin it again. I look at the weapon in my hands. I knew what it was, a lightsaber. Dad used to have one, he used it that night when we got...attacked.
I gesture the lightsaber to him.
"So your coming." He say's as he takes it.
"No."
He looks back at me after disabling the lightsaber and putting it away.
"Why? Kid, you could have a home, food, shelter, everything...you can have a family."
"I know...but I don't want that. I did before but after seeing I can actually have it I just didn't want it I guess." I say shrugging.
He looks at me as if he was confused or concerned.
"Please kid. You can help millions of people! We can defeat the Empire! We can-" I cut him short of his sentence.
"I said NO alright!" I yell.
"The only saving I can do is for myself." It was true, I stole to survive, but every time I tried to help I would get no respect for it, not even a little bit. But I didn't like seeing people get hurt or see there love ones get taken away from the empire like me...
"You gave me a decision and I chose one. So if you can so nicely leave, I got stuff to do." I say as I point to the door.
He was about to speak but stopped. He knew he wouldn't win.
Very well, I hope the next time we come here we wont have to met like we did the first time." He say's as he heads towards the door.
"There wont be a 'next time'. You stay away from me and I'll make sure not to burn any hair left on that weird purple thing."
He doesn't speak, he just nods and goes to the lader. Before he goes down complete to where I wouldn't see him.
"Stay safe kid." He say's before going down the lader out of sight. I go outside and lean against the railing, watching as the man walks back to his ship. I watch as he steps abroad the ramp and look back at me. He looks to the ground and then walks in completely inside the ship, with the ramp closing behind.
A single tear slides down my check as I watch the ship go into space.
I used to cry almost every night because I was cold, that I didn't have a home and food. How it was unfair that this happened to me. How I blamed people for this, how I would always act strong but was weak.
People would say you made a stupid choice, that you had all it right in front of you and all you had to say was 'yes'. Just a simple word that could of changed your future. I plan on staying, becoming a voice on Lothal like my parents and give them hope so they could pass it on to those who trust them and others.
I knew I would see them some other day. hoping we'll met like any other strangers would.
Sorry If I confused ya!
Hoped you enjoyed!
Also I don't know for sure if I should continue this or not so yea...?
Bye Bye!
