Here's another chapter, have a good one!

Chapter 14

Kanan

Kanan woke with a start to the noise of screaming. It took him a minute to remember who he was, and who was screaming. Ezra. The boy was thrashing in his bed, tears streaming down his face. He screamed and grabbed at his arms, leaving scratch marks all over. "Ezra!" he yelled over the miserable screams that echoed through the room. "Ezra it's okay, you're on the Ghost. You're with all of us. You're with Sabine, Hera, Zeb, Chopper, and me. It's okay!" Kanan continued, stroking Ezra's hair. Suddenly his bright blue eyes flickered open, and focused on Kanan.

"Kanan?" He whispered hoarsely. "Where am I? W-what happened?" He was getting nervous and tried to push himself into a sitting position, but failed miserably.

"What do you remember?" Kanan asked.

"I went to Mustafar with the Hattress. I went to get you back but we got into a fight, you came back though. What happened after that?" asked Ezra, trying hard to remember. Kanan sighed.

"You passed out from bloodloss, and Hattress and I brought you back to the Ghost. I'm so sorry Ezra! I was weak, and stupid, and look what happened because of it! You're in the med bay with injuries that I gave you!" Kanan yelled, tears beginning to fall from his eyes. He sunk into the chair by the bed and buried his face in his hands.

"Kanan," said a quiet voice from the bed. "Kanan it's okay. It wasn't your fault, Maul manipulated you. He told me what he was doing, I heard him talking. Besides, I'm not dead yet, and look at the bright side. You got your eyes back!" Ezra said, smiling slightly. Kanan just stared at him for a second before moving to sit down on the side of the bed and pulling the injured boy into a hug. "I'm never letting you go again," he whispered.

Sabine

Sabine and the Hattress sat on her bunk talking. They discussed explosives and strategy. They made fun of politics, and and plotted pranks to pull on the crew once everything was back in order, but there was one topic that didn't come up. Ezra. They were both thinking about him, but neither one wanted to bring up the injured Padawan. Finally Sabine decided that it had to happen. "So your friend, you're sure she'll have the right equipment to heal Ezra?"

"Yah, I'm sure. Midnight Luna has EVERYTHING. She was kidnapped by the Empire a while back, and I helped break her out, so she owes me. After that she opened a clinic in the outer rim, but everyone knows it's really a safe place for people injured by the Empire."

"But Ezra WASN'T injured by the Empire," Sabine pointed out.

"True, but he's a rebel, and he has lost a lot. Plus, I think that Luna will take a liking to him. He's her type," the Hattress said grinning.

Hera

Hera listened to the laughter coming from Sabine's cabin. What is going on in there? She shook her head and kept on walking. She passed Chopper zapping Zeb with his taser, and Zeb kicking the astromech in return, and smiled to herself. Everything was getting back to normal. She had just finished checking the coordinates that the Hattress had put into the main computer, and was trying to figure out anything that she could do to avoid the med bay. She knew that the two would need some time alone once Ezra woke up, but she couldn't bear not checking in on him. Maybe it would be okay if I just peek in and check on his wounds. She walked purposefully down to the med bay only to stop in her tracks outside the door. Voices. She could hear people talking inside. He was awake! She pushed the door open and stepped inside to see Kanan and Ezra sitting on the side of the med bay cot grinning. They both looked up when Hera came in, and Ezra smiled weakly at her.

"Hi Hera, what's new?" Ezra asked, now grinning broadly.

"What's new?" she asked incredulously. "How long have you been awake? Are you in pain? Do you remember anything?" she asked worriedly. She grabbed a medikit from a nearby shelf and ran over to his bedside.

"Hera, I'm fine," he reasoned, even as he winced in pain from shaking his head.

"Ezra you are NOT fine," Kanan said from his other side. Hera had been so preoccupied with Ezra, she had almost forgotten about Kanan.

"Ezra, you need some rest. I don't want to see you out of this bed. I don't even want you sitting up for that matter, " Hera ordered. Ezra sulked quietly and laid back in the bed. "Kanan, I want you to make sure he takes these medications once every hour," she said, passing Kanan a medikit. Kanan didn't look up when he accepted the medikit. He was still too ashamed of what had happened to look her in the eyes. "Kanan, before you do, can I have a word?" she asked quietly.

"Yah, sure," he muttered, still not looking up. He followed her out of the medbay, and into her cabin.

Kanan

"You probably know what I'm going to ask," she stated. Kanan quickly nodded,, still glaring at the ground as if he wanted to kill it. "What happened? Why did you leave us?Why did you fall into the darkness?" she asked the sulking Jedi before her.

"Because I had to. If I hadn't , Ezra would have died," he stated quietly.

"Ironic, considering you tried to KILL him!" Hera responded dryly. Kanan managed to bow his head even further than it already was, and glared even harder at the floor.

"Maul sent me images. He showed me Ezra being tortured.. I saw every syringe. I felt every stroke of that accursed whip. He showed me what would happen I promised myself that I would never let it become real. So when I got there, I didn't think. I just did whatever seemed necessary at the time, no matter how rash. By the time I had come to my senses, it was to late," he mumbled, directing his speech to the floor.

Hera

"Kanan, look at me. You have nothing to be ashamed of," Hera said softly. Kanan slowly met her gaze, and Hera was relieved to see that his eyes were back to their normal turquoise. Wait, his eyes. "Kanan! You have eyes!" He immediately looked back down at the floor, and explained the situation with his healed eyes. "Well that's good I guess. Right?" Hera asked, not knowing if it was a sign of the darkness.

"I think so. They're not yellow anymore, so I think that they will stay healed." Hera walked over and hugged Kanan.

"Now, next time that you steal my ship, you are in HUGE trouble. I don't care that you are a grown man. I WILL ground you!" Kanan smiled at that. Everything was going back to normal.

There you go, I don't have much to say about this chapter, just felt needed. Post more tomorrow!
