Hiya! Who wants a cup of spiders? ~Ahuhuhuh
Sorry been playing too much Undertale… I'm fighting Muffet and I can't beat her ;-;
Hey did anyone see "The forgotten droid"? Stupid question, of course you have!
Anyways, enjoy the chapter!
Ezra stared nervously at Office Kallus for a moment before he went back to staring up at the night sky.
Cause' he's my kid
The words rang solid in his ears, he still couldn't make out what Kanan meant. Was it just a statement so Kallus wouldn't beat the crud out of him? Or… Maybe he meant it? Ezra shook his head quickly.
Why would anyone care about a street rat?
He jumped as he was pulled towards a grey car with yellow streaks on the side. He pulled back until he realized it was only Hera. But Zeb was waiting there with an angered expression on his face. Ezra gulped, but didn't oppose against Hera's strength. Dang, she a had a grip and wouldn't let go. Even with her stoic expression he couldn't tell if she was angry. He figured that she was and he'd be expecting a hard time later…
But, Hera wasn't his foster parent….
His eyes widened.
Wait so-
"Get in ere' kid." Zeb shoved him into the car, his harsh voice breaking its way into his thoughts. He sat down in the car and sighed, sticking to the doorside. He flinched and looked out the window. He really messed up this time… But he tried to get away! He tried to make sure this didn't happen again…
"So how was your little trip?" Hera asked, Ezra found some sarcasm slipping its way into her statement. Ezra didn't respond… Eyes keeping to the floor of the car as he mumbled an apology. Probably not good enough, but he didn't know how 'a parent tactic' works. Because… His parents are gone. And he knew that. "An apology won't help, Ezra. What you did is beyond terrible. You could've gotten yourself killed!" Hera retorted quickly, Zeb just snickered silently.
Kanan sighed, Ezra jumped, realizing he didn't know he was there. "Just. We'll deal with it when we get home, Hera." he said, and Ezra let out a breath he was holding. "That doesn't mean you're off the hook young man." She jabbed a finger at the mirror, her green eyes firey with some sort of emotion Ezra couldn't make out.
Don't screw up
Don't screw up
You already have.
He whimpered and curled up into himself, hiding his face in his hands. He didn't cry, no, of course not. He…
He just felt terrible.
He put this family through turmoil because he ran away. He didn't even know where Sabine was. But it wasn't like it was his place to know.
The way home was uncomfortably silent and the same as when they went into the house. Chopper was scratching at the door, begging to get out. Hera smiled and pet the cat before motioning Ezra to sit on the couch.
"So what made you think running away was okay?" She placed her hands on her hips and stared at him with anger. "You caused a neighborhood panic when they found out a thief was missing!" She exploded. Ezra felt the couch dip with added weight as he looked over at Kanan. His face was blank, but it held concern for Ezra, his breathing was… Abnormal. "I-I-" He was cut off. "I mean, one of the families kept a shotgun at the front door! You could've been hurt seriously!" She ranted on, pacing around the room. He heard Kanan huff inevitably. "Hera. Stop, but he made a mistake. Besides, I'm his guardian and I'll decide a punishment." He said firmly, standing up. "Come on Ezra, I need to talk to you." He held out his hand, waiting.
Ezra hesitated before wrapping his thin fingers around the larger ones and he let him guide him outside. I was quiet for a few minutes before Kanan broke the silence.
"I was pretty worried when you disappeared." He said simply.
Ezra gripped the rail with white knuckles before he forced himself to take a deep breath. He was trembling, the hands gripping the rail were shaking, his whole body was trembling. Kanan looked at him, his face changed from stoic to concerned.
"Kid, I-" he was cut off when Ezra stumbled backwards, hitting the wall and sliding down before he coughed violently. Kanan knelt in front of him, "Ezra?" He could hear the rapid breaths of the boy, and grew instantly worried. He took his thin shoulders into his hands and made him look up.
The kid looked terrible, he was trembling, taking short rapid breaths and his eyes were shut tightly, he was gripping his arms.
Ezra was having a panic attack.
And Kanan didn't know what to do.
HAHA I did it! Finally I wrote about his panic attack! There might be a few more of them in this story.. Hahahahahahahah I'm so evil. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and enjoy your weekend.
May the Force be with you!
