Chapter 21: Tornado Warning

Hey, guys! I'm updating again. I'm excited. So I hope you are too. I love writing so much, but school can be a big roadblock in my writing world. Why must I be so smart? And have good behavior? :P. Oh well. This is requested by heartbreakerninja. Love the idea by the way. And guys I am working on all of the requests. There's just so many, and they are all so good. This was requested on Chapter 13, so I'm way behind. Bu DON'T stop requesting. I will get to all of them at some point, and I am making progress. So here you go…

PS Sorry for the long author's note, and my cat just scared me, because she was in my blinds. Almost had a heart attack.

The crew was back on Lothal. At least for now. The weather was getting pretty bad, and they were watching for anything on tornadoes. No one was allowed to leave the ship unless absolutely necessary. They were running out of groceries, and it was sadly Ezra's turn, and he glared at Sabine and Zeb when they both told him, they would go for him. Usually he would be happy to get out of going grocery shopping, but he was going insane in the Ghost. He wasn't a big sit-around-and-do-absolutely-nothing guy. And he knew they were only offering, because they were worried he would get hurt by a tornado. He knew how to deal with tornadoes. He lived here all his life, and he lived on the streets for most of it. He found that abandoned tower when he was twelve, so he spent plenty of time running from tornadoes. He knew what to do.

So he was going to the town, but when he got there, no one was out. Absolutely no one was on the streets, except him. He was confused. Was the Empire coming or something? Did he miss something, and then he saw the tornado coming towards the town? He cursed and took off at a dead sprint in the opposite direction. He left the town and started heading to the tower. He wasn't going to make it to the tower before the tornado made its way through the town, but the tower was in safest spot of Lothal. It was rooted 20 miles beneath the surface. If he could get inside, he could make it through this tornado.

He ran as fast as he could, and when he felt the wind becoming stronger, he found more energy and speed, and he started running even faster. He unconsciously tapped into the Force to make himself run faster. He made it inside the tower just in time. The tornado was within a mile of the place. He slid down the wall, and he tried to catch his breath and not panic.

Ezra reached for his comm to tell Kanan and Hera he was alright, but it wasn't there. He groaned. He must have dropped it when he was running from the tornado. Great, Ezra thought, Kanan is going to kill me when I get back, because he was worried. And Hera too. The rest will laugh gleefully at me. He heard the wind rushing around the outside, and he forced himself to take deep breaths, so he wouldn't have a panic attack with no one there to help calm him down. He knew that would suck, and he did his best to quench his fear, and for once, it worked. Thankfully.

Kanan and Hera were worrying right as Ezra left the Ghost. He refused to let anyone go for him, and he refused to take Chopper. They hadn't even heard a tornado watch. Let alone a warning in forever, and there hasn't been a tornado yet. They tried to calm down, but Kanan had a bad feeling, and he never had bad feelings about nothing.

About the time Ezra should have arrived at the town, a tornado warning had been announced by the town Ezra was at. Kanan groaned, and he thought, Of course, when Ezra goes to get groceries, there's a tornado. But Kanan grew even more worried. Ezra was outside with a tornado somewhere. He wanted to go out and look for him, but everyone refused. They tried his comm, but he wouldn't answer. Kanan was pacing, Hera was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands, Sabine was leaning up against the wall with her arms crossed looking down, and Zeb was alternating between pacing and punching the wall. Chopper was charging, so he didn't know that Ezra was out in the tornado.

It was a few hours later that the tornado disappeared, and Ezra could leave the tower. So he did, and he cautiously watched the skies for another tornado. But another one didn't show up, and he walked to the Ghost. When he arrived, everyone was close to panicking, and he was engulfed in a group hug. He was being squeezed so tight that he couldn't breathe, and he gasped out, "Guys, air." And everyone promptly let go of him, and he fell. They had lifted him in the air, and he couldn't land properly after being suddenly dropped. He was given separate hugs from Sabine, Zeb, and Hera, and they left. Chopper woke up and beeped out a question. "I don't know what that was about, Chops," said Ezra, so Chopper beeped an answer, and he too left. "I couldn't get the groceries."

"That's alright. We're just happy you're alright," said Kanan, "I'm just happy you're alright." He hugged Ezra tightly to his chest. Ezra let out a sigh, and he hugged him back. He wouldn't say it, but he was terrified when he was out in the tornado alone, and it felt good to be back where he was the safest, Kanan's arms. When he was sure no one but him and Kanan were there, he buried his face in Kanan's chest and let out a few tears. "It's okay. Nothing is going to hurt you now. I won't let it." After an exhausting day, Ezra fell asleep in Kanan's arms.

Okay, there's that. I hoped you liked it. Please review, and give me any of your ideas that you want me to write. I'll probably update again today. Probably right after I upload this one. Love ya!
