Hey everyone, welcome back! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been super busy. So here it is!
WARNING; lately I have been becoming a bit darker and more gothic, just recently I adopted an emo hair style and I fricken love it! I have been wearing a hell of a lot more black and my sole has become a lot darker recently, so if the chapters become really gory and dark that's why.
Enjoy!
Darkness covered the quiet forest. No movement or sound, aside from a soft breeze pushing through the night sky. A small fire was the only thing keeping them from the shadows that crept through the forest.
Sabine, Hera and zeb lay around the bright fire. They were scared. Scared something could find and attack them in their sleep. Scared they might wake up to be in a cell. Scared they may never see Ezra or Kanan ever again.
They thought they were alone that night, they were wrong. Sabine shot up as a twig snapped in the bushes behind her.
"w-what was that?" she asked.
Zeb and Hera just noticed her staring deep into a bush. They looked at each other than stared at Sabine again. Sabine carefully got into a kneeling position and crept backwards slowly. Whatever it was, she didn't want to get in a fight with it.
Zeb sat up and slowly reached for his rifle. The bushes rustled which made Sabine jump back and almost land in the fire. Hera got up and knelt down next to Sabine and pointed Ezra's lightsaber/gun at the bushes. Zeb walked quickly over to the girls and aimed his rifle, ready for whatever was coming.
The bushes parted and both Hera and zeb were seconds from firing, then they heard a faint gasp out of fear. They all glanced quickly at each other but immediately turned their attention back to the bush. The bushes came apart fully and all they could make out was a silhouette of a tall man.
"Hera?" the voice was a whisper.
She immediately dropped her gun and her mouth fell open. She wanted to scream or cry but nothing came out. Her eyes started to water because she knew exactly who it was. Hera put her hand on zebs gun and pushed it so it was aiming at the floor, never taking her gaze off the man.
"Kanan?" she sobbed.
They heard a weak chuckle and out walked- or should I say limped- a man from the bushes. Sabine gasped and so did zeb.
"KANAN!" Hera cried happily.
"h-hey guys. What's u-up?" he said weakly.
Hera's face fell from an over joyed smile to a terrified frown. She finally got full view of Kanan. His clothes were torn and bloody, he had a large gash just below his ribs, his forehead and hands were absolutely soaked in blood, he was cradling his left arm and his right leg was badly hurt.
He looked as if he was about to say something, but he started trembling. His eyes narrowed and he looked as if he had been crying. That's when his teeth clenched in pain and his legs buckled. Kanan fell to the floor with a thud and breathing heavily.
"Kanan!" all three of them yelled.
They ran to his side and tried to keep him awake. His pulse was fading and his breathing started to lessen. His face obviously showed he was in a lot of pain.
"Kanan? C'mon love, stay with me." Hera whispered.
He let out a shaky breath and looked straight into the eyes of the woman he loved. That's when she noticed a tear rolling down his cheek. He opened his mouth to say something but all that came out was a loud sob.
Hera felt a pang in her heart. She couldn't stand seeing him like this. He was a tough man, he never cried unless it was serious. Then a thought came to her head and it hit her like a truck.
Ezra.
He had probably been with him, and now he's nowhere to be seen.
"Kanan." She said quietly.
Her eyes started to tear up. She knew this had to evolve Ezra.
"W-where's… Ezra?" She asked.
He didn't say anything. He just looked at her and shook his head. Kanan let out a heartbreaking sob and looked away from her. She bit her lip to stop herself from letting out a sob as well. She shook her head and stared at the Jedi.
"No no no, Kanan, Ezra can't be- he's not- he can't be-"
"Dead?" Kanan said shakily.
He turned back to her and stared into her green eyes.
"He's gone Hera. He's really gone."
