Ezra disappeared 7 mounths ago. Mara couldn't torture him more than just 1 mounth.
In the Ghost…
Zeb woke up shouting for a nightmare
Kanan entered startled by the shout of lasat
- Zeb you ok?
- No... Ezra... he was suffering too much
- It was just a nightmare...
- I hope that's truth, Kanan
-Don't worry. We'll find him. Ahsoka found something...
Suddenly Kanan twisted himself for the pain in his leg. He opened his eyes very big
He knew something in that moment: his padawan was being tortured
- Kanan? you ok? what happened? - asked Zeb
- We have to find him. He's dying
- Oh, no - whispered Zeb with worry in his face
Meanwhile, Ezra was seated in his cell groaning for the pain. His mouth was bleeding because he didn't drink in 4 days and his lips were too dried. In that moment, Lilith entered with something strange in her right hand and in the left hand she had a blaster. She had 2 stormtroopers as colleagues.
- Guys... you know what to do
-Yes, my lady
- Wait..please... can you tell me how long have i been in here?
- 7 months, dear... and nobody has rescued you
- Yet... I believe in my Master... He'll save me
- But meanwhile you will suffer
The stormtroopers turned him and they took out his shirt
- What are you going to do to me?
She turned on the strange weapon... it was a light whip... too dangerous...
She started to whip him. Ezra shouted too much and the tears started to down and he felt all the times. After 4 hours he fell unconscious and his back was too injured
The days passed. Although Lilith was enjoying torturing him, in her inside, she felt something for the boy. Something special. But she had to obey,
He woke up 3 days later because the hurts were too much serious.
He tried to sit but he shouted in the try.
Lilith entered with a smile in her face
-Can I ask you… How old are you? –asked Ezra some angry
- I am 15 years old. … why? - she said curiously
- I would never torture people to defend my friends
She rolled her eyes
-Guards, bring here the pain's inductors and the water's camera
- Miss... Please...have mercy... I can't support this anymore - Ezra made a grin of pain and touched his head, shouting - Help me! Don't torture me anymore... you did enough, please!
- Oh, poor kid... He feels pain isn't it? You want go with your mother? Oh, sure... you're orphan hahaha - she gave him a slap, taking out a shout from him - Guys, obey my orders.
The stormtroopers took what she asked and she put the pain's inductors in his legs and arms. He started to cry and shout, because it was like fire or electricity
Put him in the water's camera
They did it and Ezra tried to take air but he started to desperate because he couldn't breath in the water... and the pain's inductors in the water were worst
She took him out before it be too late
Ezra coughed and took air again
- Guards. Leave us.
- Yes, miss.- they let them alone.
- Well, kid. Tell me, you have my age, isn't it?
- Never
- You want more?
- No, please
- So..
- Yes… I… I am 15 years old... almost 16. My birthday is in the Empire's day
-Tell me, how many padawans you were teaching?
- What? I'm not a Master
Lilith saw him dumbfounded
- How... how did you survive if you're not a Master?... ohhh... you must be a jedi then.
- Not at all - Ezra said, confused and weak - I'm just a padawan
She stayed in shock. The Empire lied to her. She started to feel love and, in same time, mercy.
- Guards! Take out his pain's inductors! Now!
The stormtroopers saw each other and obeyed.
Ezra stopped to cry and saw Lilith, confused
- Why you took them out?
Lilith took Ezra's hand, letting him dumbfounded and he looked at her eyes, what were changing since yellow to blue, because she was changing her thoughts. Her thoughts wasn't as a sith, not anymore
- I promise you, I'm gonna rewarding all of this to you
- Why? Why are you doing this?
- Because this is not just revenge - said looking to the floor, too angry and turned her eyes to Ezra - The Empire lied, and no one lies to me! Wait. Don't move ok? I'll bring some things to heal you
She went out and started to walk to Emperor's throne room. He saw her and smiled
- Lilith, enter dearie... Wait... you're angry
- You lied about the boy
- Oh, dearie we knew you were too good to be a sith, that's why we lied to you. You're too... good person, with poor, orphans and weak people.
-That's not an answer
- Go with Vader, he'll help you with this and you'll understand
- Yes, my Lord - she said with sarcasm and going out.
She went with Vader, too angry - You lied... why?! Just tell me...- suddenly she lost her breath. Vader was asphyxiating her.
- Let... me ...go!
- I'll be clear. I know your feelings for him. You are in love and I can't let you do it
- Who cares?
- Torture him in double way because if you don't, I'll do it worst ... much worst...
He released her and she breathed again an the tears started to down...
- Oh..no - she whispered. She elevated her voice- I woluld never hurt him. Not anymore. You lied. And yes… I… I love that boy. I love Ezra.
