"Well," I looked at my dirty hands and clothes "At least it's done."
The sun was sitting part-way in the sky making Lothal look so peaceful for once. I sat down and admired the site for a few minutes before packing up my tools and heading in.
I walked to the closet where we kept the toolbag and put it back.
Why couldn't I help them?
Was I too scared?
Was there no chance?
Was it worth it?
My mind was crammed with questions that I sadly had no answers to.
I was in deep concentration when the cockpit door suddenly opened. With my thoughts breaking away I turned to see Hera standing in the door frame. She gave me a look that I've never seen her use before. "More then a little damaged?"
"Oh yeah." I wiped my forehead with my sleeve "The engine was really messed up."
She smiled and began to walk back into the cockpit "I wasn't talking about the engine." She then shut the door, leaving me in here alone.
I was going to go after her and ask her what she was talking about, but I decided it would be best to ask her later. I sat down and began to try and not think about it too hard. Recently I think of everything too hard.
After what seemed like a long while Hera's voice came over the internal comm. "All specters report to the cockpit. We need to have a meeting." And with that she clicked out, leaving the Ghost quiet for a minute before I heard Zeb and Sabine's doors open. 'Well.. Better not make her mad' I thought. So I got up and headed to the cockpit.
When I got there everyone else was already seated waiting for me. I nonchalantly came in and took a seat, letting my head fall so I wouldn't be making direct eye contact with any of them. I felt like I knew why they wanted to call a meeting, and it's something I don't want to talk about. The room was silent for a moment before Zeb said "So why did you call this meeting?"
Hera then looked at Kanan who said "It's about Ezra."
I could feel everyones eyes locked on me. My face barely even showing. All I wanted to do right now is crawl into a corner and do nothing. Just sit there and forget that I let my friends down. Forget I let the people in Tarkin Town down. Forget that I let my parents down. Forget that I let all the people who listened to my parents down. Forget that I let my master down.. Forget everything.
I was once again in deep thought about how much I had failed until I felt someone punch me painfully hard in the shoulder. I jumped slightly and grabbed my arm as it began to throb. I turned over and lifted my head to see Sabine putting away her clenched fist and looking me dead in the eye.
She hadn't talked to me since the over sleeping incident until now. "Are you even paying attention?"
I glanced at Hera and Kanan and mumbled "Not Exactly."
Kanan and Heras faces looked kind of worried, like when I wouldn't wake up a few days ago.
Hera sighed "What's going on Ezra?"
I put my head back down "Nothing at all Hera. No need to worry."
Kanan stepped in now, bringing up something I'm guessing he felt I really needed to learn. "Ezra.." He crossed his arms "Do I have to tell you the same thing twice?"
There was nothing but dead silence for a minute while everyone stared at Kanan. I don't think they remembered what he was talking about, I didn't either.
That is until I heard Kanans voice speaking in my head "Look at me when you're talking Padawan."
With that I raised my head and looked at Kanan who was now smiling, seeing as I had gotten his message. "Well, Looks like I did have to say it twice."
I couldn't help but smile a little when Kanan called me his Padawan. Kanan's truly like my dad in so many ways. Like how he can always make me smile or laugh. Thats one thing I love about both of them. I now lifted my head up completely and looked at the crew.
My smile faded as I stood up, not breaking eye contact with them. I decided that now was the time to let the Lothcat out of the bag. "I.. I saw two people from my past." I paused and took a deep breath "I'm not trying to make you all angry, honestly, or let alone trying to kill people in Tarkin Town."
Kanan stood up slowly still not breaking eye contact. "Who were these two people?" He asked cautiously.
I sighed "My parents."
Everyone jumped up now, turning to me.
"Your parents?!" Zeb exclaimed
"Yeah.. I m-" I was cut off when Sabine suddenly ran up to me and hugged me so hard that I almost fell over.
"Thats amazing!" She said.
Shortly after, she released me from the hug, but put her hands on my shoulders. "But I thought they died?!"
I didn't want to, but I pushed Sabine off of me. I slowly and sadly said "They did.."
Kanan slowly walked up to me, putting his hand on my back "What were they?"
"Huh?" My face pure confusion.
"What you saw.. what were they if not your parents?"
"I.." I stammered, I really didn't know for sure. "Maybe some kind of mind trick.. or vision.. or.. I don't know."
"I think I can help," A deep man's voice came from the back corner of the cockpit.
I slowly turned around it was..
"Dad."
Guys I'm sooooooo sorry for taking so long to upload. You know those major tests at the end of the school year? Yeah, well in my school we're taking those and I haven't had a lot of time to write.
I'm going to upload the next chapter tomorrow but I need YOUR GUYS'S HELP!
Should the whole crew be able to see Ezra's dad?
Should only Ezra and Kanan be able to see him since they're Jedi?
Should only Ezra be able to see him?
Is his sights of his parents something in his mind or is it the force at work? LET ME KNOW!
Love you guys c;
