Kanan sighed as he felt Ezra's presence in the force grow stronger, but was still clouded to keep him from pin pointing his exact location. He could sense Ezra's pride, then sadness. What in the galaxy was his padawan doing to conjure up all these emotions?!
"Kanan?" Hera called standing outside his door.
Kanan got up, went to the door and opened it.
"Yeah." he replied drearily. None of them felt right without Ezra. It just felt like they were missing a part of their team. And inside each of them they thought that it was something they did that caused him to leave.
"We need to talk." Hera said as she walked off toward the lounge room.
There, Sabine and Zeb were already waiting. Both appearing to be deep in thought, more than likely about Ezra.
"So what exactly is there to talk about?" Zeb asked, obviously not pleased with the way things were going.
"Ezra. It's obvious he doesn't want to be found. We didn't even find a trace of him in Gayle." Hera sighed, "He joined our crew more than likely on his own terms, and now he's left on his own terms... Perhaps we should respect his decision and let him be. Besides, what's the point in looking for someone who doesn't want to be found and will just run away again when you do find him?"
"Are you saying we're just giving up!? We can't give up on Ezra! He's a part of our family now! And sure he may be annoying, but that's the way family is." Sabine argued.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree with Sabine on this one." Zeb sighed, "I may not have liked sharing a room with him and he may have provoked me half the time, but that doesn't mean that I don't care about him."
"But you're not thinking of the bigger picture. If we continue our search for Ezra then where do we start? We know he's not in Gayle anymore and he's got a ship now. Even if we were to find a trace of him what's to say he won't disappear on us again?" Hera continued shaking her head, "Besides we can't continue the routine of searching, then running a mission. That'd just let him get further and further away or more hidden. I hate to say it like this but it is virtually near impossible to find him. I mean, he's grown up half his life on the streets! I think he'd know a thing o two about disappearing for long periods of time every once and a while."
Sabine and Zeb both looked down, obviously not wanting to give up this fight just yet. Then Sabine looked to Kanan with pleading eyes, surely Kanan could find Ezra through the force! Hera caught on and turned to Kanan.
"Well, Kanan, What do you think? Should we continue searching or is it a lost cause?" Hera asked.
Kanan looked down and thought about it for a moment. He didn't want to give up the search for Ezra either, but...
"Ezra doesn't want to be found." Kanan finally sighed, "His emotions and will to not be found are clouding his signature in the force from me... I...I'll have to agree with Hera. He doesn't want to be found and chances are that we won't find him anyway. Maybe one day well see him again, but...but I doubt it."
Everyone avoided eye contact. So this was it? They were just giving up? After all they'd been through with this bratty, street rat, crafty kid they were just letting him go? It didn't seem right to leave Ezra behind like this, but if he didn't want to be found then like Kanan had said the chances were he wouldn't be found.
Kanan eventually sighed once more before going back to his room. Hadn't he and Ezra been close? Hadn't they bonded? He had thought that Ezra and he were close but apparently he was wrong. Ezra didn't trust him enough to come to him and tell him about his vision. It hurt, but it was time to just face the facts and realize that Ezra wasn't coming back.
Hera soon followed Kanan except she went to the control room. Ezra was much like a son to her. And after everything they'd been through she thought that he might have felt the same way, but apparently she had been wrong. She frowned at the thought of Ezra leaving, it didn't seem like him, it didn't seem like his nature to want to be alone. She realized whatever was in the vision that he had must have been pretty bad for him to leave. But why leave over a vision? He could have just talked to Kanan about it!
Okay, so relatively short chapter.
Also, I was fairly disappointed with the amount of reviews last chapter. You guys went from giving me 10-20ish to like 4! What happened? And I really thought that chapter would have you guys reviewing like crazy. Oh well, time to move on...
So, for a new fanfiction that I'll be doing the Ghost crew will find themselves accidentally in the past after they pass through a wormhole. They'll meet Ezra's parents, his mother's parents, Kanan's master, and a Jedi by the name of Clyde Black(as well as a baby Ezra). Now I've done some reading and asked some of my reviewers to learn about Kanan's past. According to Wikipedia Kanan's master was killed during order 66 but since it's a fanfiction you're going to see an alternate ending to what happened to his master that means she is possibly still alive. If you have any questions or comments about this fanfiction please do ask or tell!
Now, question.
What do you think of my new avatar?
A person on made it for me as a Valentine's Day gift. It's Ezra as a woof! Isn't he adorable!
