Ezra sprinted down the sidewalk, his heartbeat quickened as his footsteps pounded in his ear. Ezra kept running.
Don't stop.
Don't stop.
He had to get as far away as he could from the family. He didn't want more pain.
He was scared they'd betray him.
He was scared they'd hurt him just like the others.
The… others… Those people. Ezra stopped in his tracks and shivered at the thought of them. Those people hurt him…
Hurt you.
He shook his head frantically and took off into the city. The night consuming his frigid form.
He had to run.
He had to.
It had been thirty minutes since Ezra went out to get 'fresh air' and Kanan couldn't take it. He swung open the door and peeked out, finding nothing, he continued. Kanan walked outside, checking around the house. He groaned aloud before his eyes narrowed dangerously.
The kid ran.
Kanan marched back into the house and sought out to find Hera. He watched as the woman put numerous plates and cups away. "Hera." he said simply, folding his arms over his chest. She looked back for a moment before continuing her task. "What's up?" Kanan sighed before he closed his eyes.
He looked back up at her.
"The kid ran. He's gone, I can't find him. He must've ran back into Portland." He rubbed his eyes before looking back out the window. He didn't want to see her reaction. Kanan felt Hera put a hand on his shoulder. "Contact your boss. Put a search out or something, we will find him, love."
She looked away…
"We have to." The fire in her emerald eyes screamed determination.
Ezra didn't know where to go. The streets were completely empty and it was as dark as black paint. Everyone was either in bed, out, or not alive. He walked into an alleyway and climbed up the ladder. He could continue north to get through the forest and not have to pass their house…
He shook with fright before shaking his head quickly.
Just. Run.
He jumped up onto the rooftops and made his way towards the edge of the city-line. He could spot the makings of bare-branched trees. He spotted the ladder to the ground and he took it, stumbling, dazed before he took off into the forest.
He stopped to take a break, panting as he leant against an oak tree.
Ezra hoped he'd ran far enough..
But he figured not as a bright light pass by him. And red and blue hues ran across the grass.
A male voice echoed.
"Put your hands on your head, and don't move. You're being taken back into custody, Jabba." It was sinister and unhappy. He turned, eyes widening. He'd seen this man, he'd forgotten his name… Kallan… Kallran?... Kelly? Kallus!
Officer Kallus was here. Ezra's breath hitched before he sprinted deeper into the forest. Blaring cop car alarms rang in his ears, rather loudly, but it faded as he ran.
Branches hit him, ripping the thin hoodie and jeans he wore.
You need to get out now!
A figure moved in front of him, bumping into each other roughly. "Oomph!" Ezra grunted before his hands were cuffed behind his back. "Let me go!" He turned to see his captor.
Kanan? No...
Why was he here! No! This wasn't how it was supposed to be. He struggled further, he jabbed at Kallus' ribs with an elbow and slid to the side as he continued to run. The blaring in his ears were loud as the very pit of raw fright in his mind. He pulled at the chains constricting his hands and his breath hitched.
He would never get rid of these guys. Ezra looked behind him and noticed three cops chasing him.
Crap!
He put a burst of energy into one spike of speed, he was almost there until one of the cops, one of those cops being Kallus, tackled him. He yelped as his scarred cheek ripped over the rocky ground. His hair was yanked up and so was the back of his shirt, "Hey hey! Be careful!" He heard Kanan's voice in the background. Ezra was dropped onto the ground, he rolled onto his back and took a deep breath. Kanan helped him up, eyeing Kallus warily, Ezra noticed.
"Are you okay?" Ezra looked up at him, and looked to his feet, not responding.
"Why're you asking if he's okay? The little shit jabbed me!" He rubbed his ribs gently and winced.
Kanan walked up to Kallus and looked at him before turning away.
"'Cause he's my kid."
This is probably rlly short bcuz I hung out with my friend today and since the time was set back like two hours I've gotten NO sleep… At all… Yeah.

May the Force be with you!
