This story has passed 8 years ago before Ezra met the crew. It's "In bad hands's prequel" And I hope you like it
In Bridger's house one day before Ezra's seventh birthday…
-Mira… We are so close…. You have to get our last transmission and use it like a bomb against the Empire – whispered Ephraim Bridger, guessing Ezra was sleeping.
- I know it, Ephraim, but how? I mean, we are fugitives.
- We have our old friend Ryder, remember? He is the governor of Lothal…
- Yeah, but the Empire is suspecting that he is helping us. We have to give our keys to Ezra, just in case…
- In case of what, mum? – Little Ezra asked, crying a little bit.
- Oh, Honey…. Don't worry ok? We are ok….. you have to rest, tomorrow is your birthday remember?
- I won't go to anywhere until you tell me what is going on? What's happening?
- Son. We can't tell you until we're sure ok? Let's go to rest. All of us.
Next day - Empire day, Ezra's 7th birthday:
Ezra woke up so happy because that day it was his birthday. Mira and Ephraim entered with his breakfast and a cake, singing Happy birthday's song. Suddenly the kid stood up and hugged someone he didn't expect to see. Ryder Azadi.
-Uncle Ryder! I'm so glad you are here….
- Happy birthday, Ez.
The day was great. But they heard something out.
-Stormtroopers?! – asked Ryder, whispering
- Mum? Daddy? – Ezra whispered
-Shhh, it's ok…. Sh- whispered Mira, kissing Ezra's top of head and hugged him.
- Son, take this- said Ephraim, giving to the kid the house's key- Run away now…. You know where to.
- No…- The kid cried- I can't let you in here!
- Go now!
Suddenly the stormtroopers entered with a commander.
Ephraim and Mira looked that Ezra was still in there
-Son, Run!
The kid hugged them quickly and ran away. The stormtroopers blasted his right leg. The kid fell down, shouting.
-No, wait! – Someone shouted, it was a girl of 15 years with red hair – I'll take him away, don't kill him.
- Shut up, stupid girl- said the stormtrooper
- It's our kid. Take us instead, please – said Mira behind of the soldier
The commander nodded.
-Ok – sighed the stormtrooper, releasing Ezra. The kid hugged his parents. But the girl took him.
-Don't worry Bridgers, Ezra's gotta be alright- the girl said hugging Ezra's parents. The kid was crying hard, on his knees at the floor.
- Thank you, Mara- said Mira, crying.
- Let's go, little brother- Mara said, taking Ezra's hand and started to walk towards her home
But they saw her house on fire. She cried hard
She saw her family dead…. They were gone. She went with Ezra to a communications tower abandoned and when they were inside, the girl looked at the smoke, crying harder. But her feelings of sadness… her tears and eyes turned in an indescribable hatred. She looked at Ezra and walked towards the kid…. And started to struggle the kid, who started to fight to had a bit of air
-You're not like this, sister…. Please…
