Hey guys! So this chapter is done, and I felt that rather than posting it a week from my last update (which was yesterday if anyone missed that one), I will post the next chapter 24 hours after my last one. This is new to me so stay with me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, I have been feeling like my story has been dragging a bit, and this chapter (in my opinion) really sets things in place. PLEASE REVIEW!

"Abby, I have a proposal for you."

"Ezra listen, I know what you are going to say. You are going to tell me that I will be so much happier with the crew, and that we can just leave and I will never have to see the Inquisitor again. But you know what, I am not sure if I want to take that risk, I mean so many things could go wrong.

"You don't understand Abby! This is your happiness we are talking about! Could you really see yourself here your whole life? I hope the answer is no. You deserve so much more than this. Here the Inquisitor will not only treat you like crap, but he will use your abilities to harm people. Kanan would never let you do something that will hurt people, and he will give you the love and respect you deserve. Open your eyes! This is your future Abby!"

Ezra stared into her eyes, trying to see what she was thinking. He could see the confusion and the contemplating going through her head, and he had a feeling that she would give him the answer he wanted. She took a breathe and began to say,

"Ezra, I think that—"

"Why hello there my apprentice and my prisoner. What are we discussing?"

Abby whipped around and saw the Inquisitor standing there. She wondered how much he had heard.

"Master, I was just about to tell him that I think that he will be much better suited with the Empire than with those silly rebels, wouldn't you agree?"

She hoped that was enough the convince him.

"Why yes of course. Maybe he will listen to you more on the subject."

Both Abby and Ezra let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, I will be waiting by the door. Feel free to talk to Mr. Bridger as I am sure that he will listen to you just as much as he listens to me."

She walked over to the door and prepared to view what would probably become a tense situation.

"Boy," the Inquisitor started, "I am here for one reason and one reason only, and it's not very hard to figure out. I want you to join the Empire. But not only the Empire, but I want you to be my apprentice. Now, before you get all heroic and reject me, I can promise you that the Empire will be very nice to you. And you can see your friend as much as you like, as you would be training together."

"Umm ya so, I would tell you no right off the bat, but I honestly would like the think about this. I like to sleep on big decisions like this, if that's ok."

"No problem, then getting an answer to me by the morning would be no problem."

"None at all. I would like to have a brief chat with your apprentice before I go to bed tonight, I want to talk to her about all of this, if that's ok also."

"I am sorry my boy, but I am going to have to reject that request. I want this decision to be solely made by you. None of this peer pressure business. You are more than welcome to talk to her after you give me your decision tomorrow morning."

Ezra sighed. He knew there was no negotiations at this point.

"That's fine sir. Umm, see you tomorrow."

The Inquisitor returned the parting words and turned around summoning Abby to follow him out. She glanced Ezra's way, and then exited right behind her master.

Ezra layed down. He didn't know what to do. He felt like he couldn't meditate this one out, and he didn't know how he could figure this out without talking to Abby. He really needed to get out of here, and she was the easiest way.

Maybe if he told the Inquisitor yes, he would eventually work up his trust and be allowed to go on mission in Lothal, and then he could find the crew there.

But that would probably take forever. Either way, Ezra knew that he had to accept the Inquisitor's offer. He knew that if he said no, he would probably be taken away and wouldn't be able to see Abby any longer.

Ezra decided to go to bed, satisfied with his decision.

The next morning, Ezra was awoke to the sound of his door opening. The Inquisitor and Abby walked in. Well at least he assumed it was Abby as both were wearing their uniforms, and he couldn't see her face.

"Well boy, your time is up. What will your decision be?"

"After an actually quite short deliberation, I have decided to take you up on your offer, and become your apprentice."

The reactions to this were priceless. The Inquisitor raised an eyebrow, trying to hide the shock that was written on his face. Ezra couldn't see Abby's face but your whole head did a double take and she crossed her arms and was leaning towards Ezra as if trying to understand him better.

Ezra knew that she could see him under her helmet, so he decided to give her a wink. The purpose of this was to clue her in, and kind of let her know that he was not doing with the intentions of actually becoming an Inquisitor. She seemed to understand as she gave him and firm nod and took off her helmet. Her eyes were filled with mischief and Ezra knew that his message was read loud and clear.

They would get out of here, and step one had just been carried out.

"Kanan," Ezra said quickly into the force, "we are coming home."

REVIEW! PLEASE!
