Chapter 4

-Kanan POV-

After leaving Ezra in the medical bay, I went to gather up the rest of the crew. Meeting up with Hera first, I told what was going down.

"Morning, honey", Hera said as she came in for a hug.

"Hey, um we gotta have a little meeting", I cut her off.

"Alright. Does this meeting involve Zeb, Sabine and Chopper as well?", she questioned.

"It does".

"Well, I got Sabine and Chopper. You get Zeb".

"Why do I always get the hard one?" I playfully whined.

"Because he listens to you better than he does I", she retorted. "See you in five".

After having a chat with Hera, I turned my attention to Zeb's and Ezra's room. Zeb was hard to get up from any kind of sleep. It was like waking up a dead person. Impossible. But with the right incentives, he will get up.

I stood outside the bed room door and heard Zeb shift in his sleep. When I got in the room, he completely shocked me.

Zeb was standing in the middle of the room playing with Ezra's light saber with his back turned away from me. I stood in shock as Zeb shook his rump in front of me.

"I can swing my saber to get out of-", Zeb sang as he turned around and saw me.

I could swear time stopped and I knew a meadow full of seeds grew into flowers before he said something.

"It's not what you think!", he started.

"I don't want to hear it. Just come to the cockpit for a meeting. And Zeb?". 

"Yeah boss?".

"Nice moves", I chuckled to myself as I walked away. Going to the cockpit, Zeb ran pass me laughing. 

"Promise you won't tell him".

"I won't". 

We arrived to the cockpit with Hera, Sabine,and Chopper waiting for us. Zeb sat down and I looked at her before nodding.

"This meeting was called to talk about what happened last night", I started.

"Yeah, what was with that? I thought I was still dreaming", Sabine added.

"What happened was-", and I told them. I told them all what Ezra told me. Hearing it a second time, the words sounded like nonsense. I wanted to feel like it was nonsense. But, the evidence was there. Ezra's back was covered in bruises and nail marks. If I haven't seen the marks myself, I would have thought that my words were nothing but tihsllub. (Bullshit backwards.)

After I got done, my crew just looked at me. Sabine looked cantankerous as well as Hera. Zeb had a poker face and Chopper...well, Chopper was Chopper.

"So we are to believe that something is haunting us?", Sabine asked.

I honestly haven't thought of the idea. "Um, I guess. But the ghost  hasn't touched anyone of us but Ezra", I concluded.

"A ghost on The Ghost- where's the irony in that?", Zeb heckled.

"All I know is that we tackle this on step at a time. Make sure you check yourselves for and marks every now and-".

I was interrupted by a piercing scream that sounded like Ezra.

Everyone shot up and ran towards the medical bay to see Ezra on the ground, screaming, and wiping his clothes.
