Chapter Four: Freak outs and Baldy Finds Out...

The blonde woman arched her eyebrow upwards as she patiently waited for my response. I scoffed as I tried to shift my position, only to wince as pain stabbed through my side. Right. I was still injured from my run in with the Inquisitor. "How about you tell me your name, missy. I know better than to give that information to strangers."

A laugh escaped her as she tossed her head back, amusement dancing in her eyes. "I see. Perceptive aren't we? I am Satine Kryze, Duchess of Mandalore..."

"You're supposed to be dead!" I felt panic well inside of me, my breathing sharpening as I started to hyperventilate.

"Oh dear..." Satine frowned, concerned about what it was that I had just said.

~Back with Ezra! POV~

I was bored. And they didn't seem to think that I would consider the air vents as an escape route. Which is weird, I mean all they have to do is pull out my case file and they'll know that I will use air vents to escape, if given an opportunity. Shaking my head, I pulled open the vent, peering down to see that I appeared to be above an indoor garden complete with a large fountain. I peered around the room for a bit, before realizing that there were too many there for me to hover around there without getting noticed. Slipping the vent back in place, I continued on my way. There had to be something that could keep me entertained somewhere in here.

Stopping at another vent that looked somewhat promising, I pulled it out to peer down at this new room. A library...one that was choke full of books! Hurriedly, I slipped out of the vent, popping the cover back on behind me. Staying low, I moved over to the nearest bookshelf scanning the selections there. My eyes nearly popped out upon spotting a book labeled Plant-life on Twenty Different Planets. Score! Now that was what I was talking about! I snagged the book off of the shelf, already scanning the area for a good place to curl up with it. Wandering the aisles, I eventually came upon rows of tables with chairs. Hmm, must be a study area for those working on essays and such. It would also do nicely. Pulling out one of the chairs, I curled up on it, opening the book.

...

I was in the middle of the chapter about the more dangerous plants that lived on Felucia when a familiar voice groaned from somewhere behind me. "Found him...he's in the library."

"Um? Hi?" I glanced back at Baldy, wondering vaguely if I was going to be seeing a lot of him while I was stuck in here.

Baldy glanced down at the book in my hand, one eyebrow shooting upwards. "Plant-life on Twenty Different Planets? You do know that we have more interesting books than that, right?"

"It was next to Phantom Thief... this one looked more interesting though." I shrugged, not really impressed that he would interrupt my reading. I turned back to the book, scanning the section about what an extremely dangerous plant that apparently eats humans, well, any living thing, looked like. "Really fascinating."

Baldy's eye twitched as he stared at me for several seconds. "What are you even doing in here?"

"I got bored. And you left me in a room with air vents, which I could use as an escape tunnel. Finding out that you have a library with such interesting books to read was just the cherry on top." I pointed out their idiocy. I mean seriously? What kind of idiot do these Inquisitors think I am?

Baldy blinked, clearly surprised that I would tell him how to keep me locked up better for future references. "I see..." Baldy sank down into one of the other chairs at the table next to me. "You wouldn't mind reading out loud to me, would you?"

I eyed him, positive that he was just pulling my leg. Sabine herself told me that I was the most boring person alive when it came to books that held my interest. "You're not gonna complain about me being boring if I do...are you?"

"No...what kind of question is that?" Baldy gave me a puzzled look, confused by my question.

"No reason." Like I was going to tell him about my older sister!

~Back to the Mystery Time Traveler's POV!~

I gulped for air as Satine rubbed my back, her voice a soft murmur as she calms me down. "Feeling better?"

"Now? Yeah...a lot better." I stared up at the ceiling, wondering vaguely if this was some trick that could be done with the use of the Dark Side of the Force. But then, wouldn't Kanan have warned me about this happening? Everything felt so real!

Satine sat back down, a small frown on her face as she peered at me. "Do you feel ok to give me your name now?"

"Specter." I took a deep breath, praying that no one would think to research my family. "Sabine Specter." I latched my eyes onto hers, gauging her reaction.

"Sabine Specter? Hmm, did your parents like the letter S or something?" Satine made a joke,in an attempt to make me smile. I snorted as I pressed a hand against my mouth, trying to stifle the sound. Satine placed a hand on my rather pale one, a warm smile on her face. "See? Nothing to be afraid of here."

I looked at her, briefly confused on why she would presume that I was afraid. If anything, I was bewildered, confused,... and yeah maybe a bit frightened. "I don't get scared." I tried to straighten myself up to make it look more believable.

"You're shaking like a leaf. And I don't think that it's from blood-loss." Satine gave me a stern look, squeezing my fingers with her hand. "You can trust me Sabine. I won't let anything happen to you."

I shook my head at her, even as a single thought filtered across my mind. That is what I am afraid of... I may not understand what all was going on, but there was only one reason why the last Duchess of Mandalore, my hero, was standing in front of me alive. Somehow, I have gone back in time...

A/N: Done! So...you all thought Windu was going to figure out that Ezra's been calling him Baldy? And a dozen virtual cookies for Dumbledore19 for correctly guessing that it was Sabine that was sent to the past. Also, Ezra is about fourteen. If he appears younger than that, sorry. Sabine is about sixteen. Even though Ezra doesn't figure out that he is in the past, he knows something is off since the 'Inquisitors' appear to have forgotten certain details about him. He will eventually give his name to the Jedi. Don't worry. Well, sort of. Since he thinks that they work for the Empire and things, he's going to use the same last name as Sabine.
