Chapter 4: Aftermath

Ezra's P.O.V

I can't believe it. Not only did I save my own enemy from death, but I just did what no Jedi in the galaxy would think about doing. I don't why I chose to save her, but part of me felt like I did only because it's what Jedi do, or for some other reason. My head was spinning as my body was still numb from the running and everything earlier. So many things were going through my mind, and that Mandalorian just thanked me for saving her. Looking at her, getting up on one knee as I hugged the wall with one hand, I hesitated on what were the next words gonna be, even if it lead to something... more.

"I did. I did save you." I said, looking into her eyes. "You are welcome." I never thought I'd say those words to my Mandalorian foe. She was still breathing somewhat heavily but eased a bit. "Breathe, you're save now." I still couldn't believe that I was actually saying all these things to a Mando, ONE THAT I ACTUALLY SAVED FROM DEATH! She slowly took deep breaths and then she was breathing normally, getting up against the wall as she sat against. I did the same thing, both of us looking down at the ground, still taking in everything that went down.

"Why did you save me?" she asked. I lifted my head and met her gaze.

"What?" I asked.

"I said why did you save me?" she asked again. I didn't know how to respond to that, thinking carefully of my next words.

"Because it was the right thing to do."

"To save your enemy?"

"It was a tough choice but death was going to take us both unless one of us reacted. I reacted, and we're both still alive, because of me. I never thought I'd be saving you honestly out of all people, Mando." I was actually talking to her! What the heck are you doing to yourself, Ezra?! Part of me yelled out to stop, while the other part of me told me to keep talking to her. Even a conversation between a Jedi and Mando would definitely be throwned upon by both sides. God knows how both our sides feel after the whole stunt I pulled back there.

"I never thought I'd be saved by my own enemy, Jedi." she replied. We were silent for a while. It was getting cold down here as well and the only thing I had on was my pants and boots. I hugged myself for warmth, but it wasn't enough.

"Are there any spare clothes in here or somewhere where you put my robes?" I asked.

"I stripped you of your robes sometime after you got in. I could go get them if you'd like."

"Can you walk though?" She tried getting up, grunting as she struggled to. My guess: her body suffered a lot of pressure and numbness from earlier. Though my body was still kinda numb from earlier, I decided that it was time to help her again. Getting up, I walked up to her. "I can help you get up if you need it." I told her. She grunted in response, forcing herself to get up.

"I got it, Jedi." she replied, limping, grunting and groaning at the pain as she limped.

"Mando, are you sure, you don't look like you could walk well." I called down the hall.

"I'm all right. I got this. Besides, I've been through worse." she said before she disappeared out of the corner. My body still numb and myself feeling a pain in my legs, I groaned, sitting back carefully against the wall on the ground. I shivered from the cold. Down the hall, a shadow appeared, followed by footsteps. It was only her once I saw her figure, carrying what looked like my robes and a long sleeved undershirt. She put them down for me and then sat back down against the wall, grunting at the numbness.

"Thank you." I said. From what I was able to tell through the Force, the Mando was shocked, shocked that I was the one thanking her.

"You're welcome." she responded after a while. "I didn't know what size you were, but hopefully this fits." I put on the shirt. It was just about my size, maybe a bit larger. I put on my orange robes after that, stretching my legs out, myself starting to become tired.

"Are there any beds in this place?" I asked.

"In the cells there are some." the Mando responded. We both got up and she picked up her helmet before we started walking down the hall. I entered the first cell I saw and there was a bed right there. It had sheets but no blanket. I could tell the Mando was going to ask me if I wanted a blanket, so I spoke first before she did.

"I'll be fine without a blanket." I told her, even though part of me felt like that wasn't going to be the case.

"Are you sure?" she responded.

"I am sure." I replied, stretching out on the bed, sighing as my head was finally in the pillow.

"Thank you once again for saving my life, Jedi." the Mando said before she exited the cell and started heading the other way. I looked at her figure before she disappeared, turning on my side and closing my eyes. It was cold in bed, and even some of the clothes I had on didn't help. However, I then felt something draped over me. It was warm, and soft. I could tell that it was a blanket. The Mandalorian definitely gave it to me, I could tell.

While part of me still felt skeptical about trusting my own enemy, she did get me clothes and bring me a blanket. Yet, I'm the one who decided to save her. And as a result, we'll both be getting through this together, two enemies forcing each other to trust each other. I wasn't a huge fan of this, neither was the Mando most likely, but she definitely was thankful towards me for what I did earlier. I still had so many thoughts about everything that occurred today, and the day before.

"Sabine." I heard the Mando say. I groaned as I opened my eyes and faced the cell door.

"What?" I said, groggily.

"My name is Sabine." And now came the part where I introduced myself.

"I'm Ezra." I replied groggily before I was out cold. Sabine was out cold as well from the sound of her collapsing on her bed across from my cell. Guess both of us were playing prisoner tonight.
