The Dark Side of Kanan (star wars rebels fan fiction) mini story

Kanan's glimpse

I hear Lyra tossing and turning in her bunk and get up. She looks as if in a nightmare. I go to wake her up but stop. What if I saw her nightmare and could help her get over her fear then she'd be okay. I think about it for another minute and sit down and focus on her and get sucked into her dream.

At first all the colors are to mixed to comprehend then to dark till finally I make out the shapes of five people huddled at the edge of a corner.

" congratulations another one of your brilliant plans has gone wrong!" Zeb says to my face as we huddle in a corner as stormtrooper blasts past us.

" Zeb come on really its not his fault the Empire has to be an asshole." Lyra say to him and I give her a warning look.

" Ezra climb through the vents and get back to Hera, Sabine you and Zeb take the long way to get back to Hera make sure that the shipment is destroyed and blow up anything else important if it's on the way. Me and Lyra will take care of the Storm Troopers." I order everyone. They nod there heads and do what they're supposed to do. I squat next to Lyra huddled against the wall trying to keep Lyra safe. one of the blasts almost hits me and I hear Lyra gasp.

"We need to move." She tells me. I don't seem to hear her or I'm just ignoring her. She looks at me urgently. "Kanan we need to leave now!" I finally look at her and nod my head we start to run down the corridor hoping that the storm troopers won't notice that were missing.

We run through a door when I noticed they stop shooting they weren't only trying to keep us from getting some where they were trying to get us to go somewhere else.

"Kanan." Lyra say and I nod my head understanding. The troopers were wanting us to come down here. Why was the question.

" look around and be at the ready. Be prepared for anything." I tell her and head to the right as she heads to the left. I walk down each and every row of guns and helmets and find nothing. I reach the center and call for her.

"Lyra I haven't found anyone what about you?" I ask in a whisper. If someone was here they'd be on her side of the room.

"No still looking." She answers. Something in her voice is off. If she was trying to be quite her voice would be lower and less shaky. Someone was here and they were with her. If I was lucky I was wrong.

"Lyra come on let's go no one is here." I tell her but I don't hear her coming instead I hear a lightsaber ignite and red shine in the far back.

"Lyra!" I call starting to rush towards the light my lightsaber in hand. When I round the corner I see Lyra being held off the ground the blade of the Inquisitor's lightsaber at her neck.

"Watch her die now Jedi." He says and slits Lyra's throat. He runs off after that as I rush forwards to catch her. When I do I feel blood on my shirt and chest. I lay her down and look at her. Blood swims down her body.

"No no no Lyra please hold please." I beg her tears gliding down my cheeks. She trys to speak but only tears and blood come out.

"Kanan you won't be able to get me to the Ghost in time just let me go." She tells me through our force link. All the pain the she feels I feel through our bond as Master and Padawan.

"No no I'm not giving up on you Lyra. Your all I have left." She tryst to smile but ends up crying out spraying me in blood. I squeeze my eyes shut trying to think of a way to get her out and save her.

"Kanan please I'm in enough pain don't add your pain to mine." She whispers to me through our link. I feel her signature through the force flicker and die out.

Lyra gasps for breath in her bed as I do the same on the floor. I get up and when she sees I'm awake she composes herself and looks at me and smiles.

"What time is it?" She asks softly. When she sees the look on my face her shield falls and she bursts into tears. I pull her down and bring her into a hug. I rub her back softly one of my hands on the back of her head.

"That's what she's dreamed of for the past few weeks?" I ask my self as I feel more weight on me.

I don't know when but at some point she falls asleep in my arms where we stand. I slowly lay her down in my bed and when I go to leave I find her hand grabbing mine. She pulls me towards her and I climb into bed with her. She turns over so she's facing me and buries her face into my shoulder. Her breath softly brushes my skin as she starts to drift off into sleep.

"I love you too." She whispers and she's gone. I look at her surprised she heard that the night before. When I said it she was asleep. Or so I thought. I look down at her and smile.

I rap one of my arms around her and go to sleep with her next to me to keep me warm and me her. I lay there listening to her even breathing the feeling of her heart thumping agents my chest is soft but it's soothing as I fall asleep her in my arms.
