I thought I'd get chapter 7 up now that it's done. This is the second of three Kanan and Ezra communicating over the Force chapters. There will be one more after this, but not for a few chapters. This chapter does cover a few topics. I hope you guys enjoy it. As a reminder Bold Italics = Ezra and Kanan communicating through the Force.

'Kanan.' Ezra called out through the force.

No response was given.

'Kanan!' Ezra called out even louder.

'Ezra!?' Kanan finally replied. 'Is that you?'

'No, it Hera. Of course it's me.'

Ezra could hear Kanan let out a sigh of relief. It was nice to hear Kanan at ease, and Kanan was just happy to hear from the boy.

'What's going on? You've been off the grid for two weeks.'

'I've been under heavy surveillance. This is the first time I've truly been left alone in a week.'

'What's been stealing your time?'

'Training mostly. Apparently I'm a fast learner, and am fairly strong for someone so thin. Or at least that's what Maul says anyways. He says he wants to integrate me into some Force training soon along with the combat stuff he's already introduced.'

Ezra let out a hiss of pain that did not go unheard by Kanan's ears, which triggered some concern.

'Are you okay? Are you hurt?' Kanan asked.

'It's nothing. Just a recovering broken arm and a twisted ankle. It was pure luck that I was able to find some medical supplies including something to wrap my arm in, because Maul isn't going to help. Unfortunately, due to not having the proper sling to throw it in, and the fact that Maul's forced me to train with it, my arm isn't healing as fast as it should. Are all Zabrak this intense or is Maul just nuts?"

Ezra could sense slight concern emanating off of Kanan.

'Where are you?'

'In a room. It's not very comfortable, but it works. I really only sleep here so …'

'Ezra!'

Ezra flinched at his master raising his voice. He still wasn't used to Kanan yelling at him. While Kanan was not liking that Ezra was avoiding what he was actually asking. He knew Ezra didn't want reply, or at least was afraid to, but Kanan didn't know why.

'Where are you?'

Silence jammed their connection for a moment. Ezra let out a sigh, trying to keep himself calm, as he finally was able to muster up the courage to reply.

'Where Jedi go to die.'

Another moment of silence took over their conversation. Ezra could feel a spike of emotions emanating from Kanan, mostly panic and anxiety. This concerned Ezra and Kanan could feel it.

'Mustafar?' Kanan finally processed. 'You're on Mustafar? We're cming to get you now.'

'No!' Ezra nearly screamed.

Kanan was surprised at his padawan's outburst. He just said that they were going to save Ezra and Kanan knew Ezra should be happy. Clearly there was something more than what Ezra let on.

'I'm going to need you to talk to me. What's wrong? I just said that you're going to be saved and you're telling me not to. What aren't you telling me?'

Kanan could feel the emotions coming off of Ezra before the boy could even respond.

'Say something Ezra.'

Ezra let out a sigh, knowing that he should be honest with his master.

'I'm afraid Kanan.' Ezra finally admitted.

'Then we will come to rescue you.'

'But we won't be here if you do.'

'What do you mean?'

'Don't you think he'll get suspicious if you guys come to see me now? It's too soon to come and get me, and he'll know that.'

'And by too soon, you mean what exactly?'

'He'll take me away. If you come now, he'll know something is up. He'll know that you came to find me sooner than you should, and know that I lead you to us. He'll take me away to who knows where, not to mention the punishment I'll be forced to endure for an act of "betrayal". I need time to get him to trust in me. I need him to know that I won't leave and you have no idea as to our exact location.'

'Even at the risk of your own safety? I can't live with that.'

'You'll have live with it as much as I'll have to deal with.'

Kanan could feel their connection slipping, as Ezra was slowly slipping into unconsciousness.

'I've got to go.' Ezra stated. 'I'm on the verge of falling asleep. My body can't take being awake much longer.'

'I need you stay.' Kanan pleaded. 'I don't know when we'll hear from you again, and I don't want to loss you.'

'It will be okay. Trust me. I'll communicate with you soon.'

The Force training stuff will start in the next chapter. Maul's a little rough with training ^^; but hey this is also the guy who had bitten several people in his younger years: Sidious once and this student at the academy Sidious took him to (both of which were in the Wrath of Darth Maul). He also mess two Rodian kids up at the same academy.
