Chapter 5

So… no hard feelings about the cliffhanger right? Lol

Guest Ezra will be using his lightsaber a lot more now because he has to if he is going to fight his new opponents. Happy now?

Some of you might be wondering why I haven't put how either Sabine or Ezra can't feel each other's pain all the time. This is because I see the when they share pain it acts more of a warning system rather than something some would call a 'curse' so please don't complain about an apparent 'plot hole' I have it handled.

I do not own Star Wars Rebels.

Ezra stared in shock at the face of the now hoodless figure, his father!

"B-But y-your dead!" Ezra stammered out, "Oh no son I am very much alive and feel better than ever before." Ezra's father smirked.

"B-But th-that m-means." Ezra mumbled out in disbelief he moved slowly to the other figure that was still unconscious and removed HER hood.

Sure enough there lay his mother, "N-No my parents would never work for the empire!" The young Jedi yelled at his father, "Oh yes Ezra and we want you to join us." Ezra's mother announced now conscious.

Ezra was taken back, "No! I will never join you! I'm ashamed to be your son!" Ezra yelled on the verge of crying.

Ezra's parent's communicators buzzed to life a dark voice ordered them back, "Well son we really must be going, we will meet again." His father said.

In the blink of an eye Ezra's parent's pushed the two Jedi back and leapt away. Ezra brushed the tears from his eyes and rushed back to Sabine, helping her to her feet.

"Ezra what happened?" The Mandalorian asked the young Jedi, clearly she had missed what had just happened.

Ezra sighed and explained what happened, "Ezra… I'm so sorry."

The young Jedi put on a brave face and said, "It's ok Sabine. It just means we are going to have to be more careful on missions." That statement froze the Mandalorian as she watched to kid head back to the ship with the Kanan who was supporting Zeb.

Sabine finally made her way to the ship before it took off, for a while all she thought about was Ezra over the last few years he had grown up a lot from the bratty kid she had first met.

Sabine walked into the common room to find Ezra talking to the rest of the crew for a debriefing, "It seems the empire has finally sent the Inquisitor's replacements, my parents." Both Hera's and Zeb's eyes widened followed by a worry some look for Ezra.

"Next time my parents set a trap for us we must be ready. We cannot allow them to catch us off guard again." With that Ezra left the common room, leaving everyone else mostly in shock.

Sabine felt mostly respect towards Ezra, but not the child that had come into her life years ago, but the man that she had slowly watched him turn into. But that didn't stop everyone from worrying, Sabine especially.

After everyone had left Sabine was about to enter her room when she felt a surge of sadness coming from none other than Ezra. She could feel the despair he was in, it was all quite overwhelming really.

The young Mandalorian decided to go comfort the young Jedi. It didn't take the bond they had to know he needed someone. She entered the room Ezra and Zeb shared to find him sitting in the corner on the floor hugging his knees into his chest with his eyes closed.

Zeb was absent from the room she guessed he was sleeping somewhere else to give Ezra time alone.

The Mandalorian sat next to him and put her arms around him trying to comfort him. They sat there for the next few hours in silence with Sabine comforting the young boy.

Ezra eventually broke the silence, "W-Why would they do it Sabine? They hated the empire, how could they turn? I never even knew they were force sensitive." Ezra said sniffling a little bit.

"I don't know Ezra, the empire has ways of messing with people's heads no matter how strong the individual is anyone can be broken." She said softly.

For a while the two sat in silence Ezra wiping away his tears as fast as they came. Eventually he started to calm down, slowly but surely stopping.

Sabine felt Ezra doze off in their embrace so the Mandalorian reached around into a cupboard and grabbed a blanket. Then she moved Ezra's head into her lap and draped the blanket over the two of them. She rested her head against the wall and dozed off as well.

The next morning Sabine woke when she felt something moving on her lap. Her eyes flickered open as Ezra stirred in her lap, "Morning Ezra." She said softly. Ezra looked up at her and yawned, "Morning Sabine." He replied sheepishly.

Much to Ezra's disappointment he knew he had to get up lest he make it awkward. Slowly but surely he lifted his head from Sabine's lap, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, "I'm hungry how about you?" Ezra asked Sabine.

"Mm starving." Sabine replied, they both got up much to the displeasure of Sabine's back, after a night of sitting against a wall her back protested with stiffness Ezra looked a little guilty as he watched her try to crack her back, "S-Sorry Sabine."

The young Mandalorian laughed at his apology, "It's fine Ezra." She said very amused, She moved towards the door, "Uh hey Sabine? Thank you for last night i-it meant a lot to me." The young Jedi said joining her, "Anytime Ezra." Sabine said with a smile.

The two made their way to the common room to fix themselves something to eat, when the two entered the room together, Ezra found himself being shot looks of concern from both Kanan and Hera.

Ezra found himself just shrugging it off and grabbing some breakfast with Sabine, the two felt very amused at the confused looks he got from the rest of the crew while they watched Ezra and Sabine talking and having fun, just like nothing had happened the day before.

Zeb eventually joined the crew to grab some food of his own joining Kanan and Hera in studying him while they thought he wasn't paying attention. But truth is he knew and he didn't care because he was having fun with his best friend.

Eventually the crew eased away from worrying about Ezra to doing what they had to do today, still slightly shocked at Ezra's resilience and courage. Sabine had made it a point to stay with the young Jedi all day not wanting to leave him alone to make sure the day went off without hitches.

Kanan didn't take him out for training that day nor did Hera give him any chores to do as obvious as it was why, he wasn't too concerned as he knew the less he had to do the more time he could spend with Sabine.

Over their day Sabine took him into her room to paint a little. She watched the boys eyes light up clearly feeling privileged. After a few hours they grabbed lunch and after the Ghost had landed on the plains of Lothal they even hung out at his tower giving Ezra the opportunity to show her all the things he had collected over the years.

They were trading stories by the time their comlink's went off and Hera's voice came over the communicators, "We have a new mission meet at the ship in 15." The two both shared a sigh, "No rest for the weary huh?" Sabine mused.

Ok that's the end of chapter 5 and guess what? No cliffhanger yay!

See I'm not all bad I only let you sit on a cliffhanger for two days pfft!

Thanks for reading everybody and hopefully you can be enjoying the next chapter tomorrow. Yaaaay! Btw school starts for me tomorrow so I might not be able to keep up my daily postings but I will try extra hard for you guys!

Anonymous Prick 3 here everybody! Thanks for all the reviews, and for the guest asking about Ezra's lightsaber, pm me and maybe we could talk about how Ezra should go about using it. I'm not familiar with the forms and a fan like you might be able to send me off in the right direction. To the rest of our fellow readers, sorry for the late update, but I ended up in a heated rush to Mexico with about two minutes to prepare to leave, and I downloaded this story immediately, and barely got the chance to send it to Liam, so sorry, this one is on me.
