Ok, I am on a roll. I updated yesterday, the day before yesterday and now today? But, hopefully no one's complaining. I got the idea for scenes in this chapter from Sins007, and I wanted to say A HUGE public thank you. And also to everyone else, you are all so amazing! Disclaimer! I would have updated again yesterday, but I wasn't well :( but hopefully this is good! Ok, rant is over, enjoy the chapter! Oh, and p.s- Some of you were asking for a Kanan POV, so you will get one!
Ezra
"Yes." Says the Fifth. "For now." The smile on Bobba's face shrinks slightly and he yanks me up by my hair and throws me to my feet. The Fifth Brother tosses him a rope which he ties my wrists together with. He pushes me upstairs and into a tiny box room. It doesn't contain a bed, only a chair in the middle of the room and a small table to do work on. Bobba Fett pushes me onto the chair and ties my legs and arms to it. "What about dinner?" I manage to say through my hiccups. The Fifth Brother and Bobba Fett both exchange glances. "You can have dinner tomorrow morning." I frown. "Isn't that breakfast?" The Fifth Brother growls and I shrink down. "No breakfast." He says, pushing the table towards me roughly and banging my school books down. "And get your homework done; otherwise it will be knuckle sandwiches for lunch." I sigh. It's going to be a long night.
Kanan's POV
I gasp and lean against a tree, sickened by what I've just witnessed. I close my eyes, but I can still see the blood on the floor and the nauseating smell lingering on furniture. I breathe in deeply and close my eyes. I had suspected it at school. The moodiness, the hesitation, the lying, when talking about families... huge tell tale signs. Especially as I've done most of it myself. I close my eyes tighter. If Bobba Fett has got any worse than he was when he was fostering me then he is practically deadly. I peek through the window and see Ezra wiping his eyes and writing hastily, and The Fifth Brother staring at him vigilantly, tapping his foot impatiently with the bloody belt still held tightly in his hand, and Bobba... wait- There's NO Bobba!
"Well, well, well." I hear a frighteningly familiar voice behind me and freeze. "If it isn't little Caleb Dume." I gasp. I spin around and bite my lip.
"I saw what you did Bobba." I spit at his face. Bobba Fett laughs maniacally and looks at me with cold eyes.
"If you're worried about your friend you can always relieve him of part of his burden. You just have to pay me a little visit tomorrow evening, I'll share a little of his punishment with you." An evil smile sneaks up on his face and I turn away in disgust.
"Or, I could denounce you to officer Tano." I say carelessly. Bobba's smile shrinks slightly.
"You have no proof against me. The boy will not spit the truth. And even if you get him out of the Fifth's house we'll just foster another child." He turns and begins to walk back inside. "If you change your mind, come see me at MY house. You remember where it is, no?" I open my mouth to reply but before I can, Bobba turns around for a second.
"It would be just like the old day. You know, I miss you." He said the end with a hint of malice and I answer with as much spite as possible.
"Yeah? Well I don't."
Whoa, we didn't expect that, did we? The next chapter should be mainly from Kanan's point of view, there will be quite a few flashbacks, so thanks to everyone who has already given me ideas! Remember, more ideas please! :)
