Hello readers! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
(Jedi council room)
"Ezra before we leave I wanted to ask what are we doing with Leia?" Organa asked. Ezra looked to the floor as he thought. He had shamefully forgotten about Leia since they arrived.
"I think I would like to start training potential Jedi," Ezra said. There were many murmers of agreement. "Leia would be the first,"
"Master Bridger may I also put someone else forward?" Obi Wan asked. Ezra nodded. "He isn't here yet but I know he is strong with the force. His name is Luke⦠Skywalker," he added. Ezra felt a cold shiver run down his neck.
"The son of Vader?" asked Hera.
"No not the son of Vader. The son of Anakin," Ezra said. "You may bring him," Ezra added. "Kanan you can teach them the basics while Obi Wan can supervise as well as train you Kanan,"
"I would like that. I never really finished my training," Kanan smiled. Ezra nodded.
"Anything else that needs to be brought up?" Ezra asked. Nobody said anything so Ezra ended the meeting but was kept behind. He knew Sabine wanted to ask him something.
"Sabine are you ok?"
"Ezra I feel like I betrayed my family again. We left them on Mandalor where the empire is still ruling them. Can we not do something?" Sabine asked.
"I will think about it," Ezra said. Sabine kissed him before walking out. Ezra collapsed on the chair and shut his eyes. He had to make sure Sabine never goes back to Mandalore. She must never find out what he had done. When Ezra opened his eyes he found all the furniture in the air. It immediately dropped. He looked down to his hands. They were spitting out some white glowing stuff. Immediately, he shoved his hands in his pockets. He ran to his house and went to the bathroom. He turned on the tap and tried to wash his hands of the white glow but it didn't come off. He cried in frustration. The more angry he got the more it spat out of his hands. In the end he gave up.
"What's happening to me?" he wailed. He suddenly felt cold and wrapped himslef in his bed and fell fast asleep.
(A FEW HOURS LATER)
"Have you seen Ezra?" Kanan asked Obi Wan.
"No I haven't. I've been looking forward to show him Luke," Obi Wan moved out of the way revealing a young boy with brown hair. He looked very similar to Leia.
"Hi sir. I'm Luke," he said and shook Kanan's hand.
"I'm Kanan," he replied. "I'll find Sabine and then let you know," Kanan said. Obi Wan nodded. Kanan walked out into the open. The sight is magnificent. There is green grass covering the whole place, children running around and people cheering and laughing. He wished he had grown up to this. It wasn't long before he found Sabine. She was showing all the young kids her painting skills. They all seemed to follow her every move.
"Kanan!" Sabine said.
"Hey, have you seen Ezra?"
"I haven't seen him since this morning. He is probably resting," She lead Kanan to their home. They shared quite a large home as Ezra was the leader of the republic. She unlocked the door and they stepped through. They had definetly personalised it. It was made out of wood which made it feel extra comfy. There are painting of the two of them on the mantlepeice. Sabine climbed up the stairs while Kanan looked at the photos. He recognised one of him and Ezra. He looked so young there. Only came up to Kanan's waist. Then the next photo was when Ezra was full grown. Kanan saddned at this photo. He had missed Ezra's childhood and he couldn't get it back.
"KANAN! COME QUICK!" Sabine screamed. Kanan raced up the stairs. He saw Sabine next to the bed where Ezra was. He was twitching, turning and crying. Beads of sweat covered his body and tears spilled out his eyes.
"He's so hot!" Sabine cried as she took of the sheets. Kanan didn't know what to do.
"Try and keep him still," he said. Sabine held on his arms but then Ezra started thrashing at her.
"Ahh!" she cried, Ezra had cut her arm. A tear rolled down her cheek. Kanan looked out the window. He could see the healers house but it would take a while to get there. But he didn't have another option.
"Sabine I'm going to Mama Agda," he said. She nodded. Kanan ran out of the room.
(Ezra's Dream)
He fell. He couldn't scream or cry. Before long he landed on the hard floor. A single spot light shined on him. Around him was an oblivion. The only thing there was a mirror. Ezra walked over to it. He could only see himself. But when he touched the mirror the reflection changed. It was Starkiller. He was wearing his mask and his robes with sharp metal claws at the end. Ezra stepped back.
"Why are you here?" Ezra stuttered.
"Why am I here? I am always here," Starkiller said. He pointed to Ezra's head. "I am here for you," he said.
"Why?" Ezra asked. "Who are you?"
"I am you. But only better and stronger. Your time is almost up," Starkiller said.
"What does that mean?" Ezra asked. He dreaded asking that but he was curious to know.
"Do you think your rebellion will like you much longer?" Starkiller said. Ezra felt his chest tighten. "What happenes when they find out what we did?"
"NO! What you did! I've changed!" Ezra cried.
"Keep telling yourself that. I am always with you Ezra. Without me you are nothing. What happens when the council finds out who many you killed?"
"Stop," Ezra said.
"What happens when Kanan finds out how many children we slaughtered?"
"Stop!" Ezra cried. He fell the floor on his knees with his hands on his head.
"What happens when Sabine finds out you killed someone she so dearly loves?" Starkiller hissed. Ezra screamed. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Sabine. Then the scene changed. He looked around him. There was fire and destruction. There was no life around him. Dead bodies littered the floor.
"What is this?" Ezra cried.
"Our future,"
"NO!" Ezra pleaded. He started to run away from Starkiller. But he appeared in front of him again.
"This is our destiny! You cannot escape the darkness. Only embrace with the help of our master," Ezra's eyes widened. He turned around.
Vader.
Ezra immediately took out his lightsaber's. But this time they weren't white but red.
'You cannot escape us, my apprentice," Vader said.
"Leave me alone!"
"I'm sorry but that's not in the game. The darkness will consume you,"
"What is this place?"
"A vision of the future," Starkiller said. Ezra gasped. Suddenly, even more bodies seemed to be on the ground. But Ezra saw their faces. They were his friends. Kanan, Obi Wan, Leia, Hera, Zeb were all there. He suddenly felt a weight at his feet. He shivered. Without looking he knew what was at his feey. Tears escaped his eyes as he saw a broken Sabine dead at his feet. Suddenly all the fire around them stopped moving as Ezra stared at Sabine.
"No," he whispered. "This isn't real! You aren't here," Ezra shouted. They both laughed.
"If I wasn't here would I be able to do this!" Vader shouted. A massive wave of fire was thrown at him.
(Ezra's room)
Mama Agda was an older woman. She wore a kaftan with many wonderful colours. Her hair had beads in it that shined against the sun. She had known the Jedi for a long time as she is a healer. A healer lives for 500 years so she has seen many things. But nothing like this before. She poured a solution down Ezra's throat. Sabine and Kanan stood behind her while Obi Wan, Organan, Mace and Hera watched from the door. Ezra wouldn't stop shaking. His screams echoed in the house. Sabine dug her nails into Kanan.
"What's happening?" Sabine asked.
"I believe he has entered the dream space. I've seen one person react to it but nothing like what Ezra is going through. He is going too far into his mind. Something is troubling him. We can't do much. I can only give him this," She took out a vile of purple liquid. "It is only a soothing potion. He has to do the rest," She poured the liquid down his throat. He seemed to stop thrashing for a while but then it came back. But it was worse. Ezra screamed and cried.
"Look!" Sabine cried. On Ezra's left arm many burns marks started to develop. It spread to his hand and started to burn of the skin on the side of face. His ear started to deform. Sabine rushed to his side. His skin was so hot it started to burn her skin as she held his hand. Blood poured from him. Sabine cried next to him. When she held his hand he stopped moving around but he still cried.
"Give them some space," Mama Agda said. They all cleared the room and waited outside.
"Ezra I'm sorry about what you went through with Vader. It's all my fault. I love you so much. You are such a great leader and I could never live up to that, nobody could. You are your own person. Not a slave to anyone. Vader is nothing to you. If you come back to me I can help you overcome the nightmares. Just come back to me," She whispered.
"Sabine," he whispered. Sabine looked up. He whispered her name.
"Ezra?" she cried. "He's waking up!" she cried. They all rushed in. Ezra started saying Sabine's name over and over again. Abruplty, he sat straight up. His eyes opened wide. But his eyes were red.
"Ezra?" he blinked and the blue colour came back again. He winced in agony at his arm and face. The left side of him was wounded. Mama Agda ran over with creams and bandages. Everyone was shooed out apart from Sabine. She wasn't ever going to leave.
