Chapter 6

-Kanan POV-

After leaving Ezra to take a shower, the gang and I left to go prepare dinner. Hera and I walking into the kitchen while Sabine, Chopper, and Zeb went to their rooms. 

"I hope Ezra is okay", Hera wondered out loud.

"He will be. We just need to watch him carefully", I informed her.

I walked over to her and helped her with dinner. 

Sooner or later, dinner was done. It didn't take as long as I anticipated. 

"Go tell Zeb and Sabine it's-", Hera was interrupted. 

"Kanan! Hera! Sabine! Zeb! Help m-", Ezra screamed.

I looked at Hera before running to the medical bay with Hera. 

We ran to the medical bay doorway before stopping in our tracks.

A lady was pacing in front of the doorway in the medical bay. She was mumbling words that my ears couldn't pick up. 

"Excuse me 'mam?", I asked.

She stopped and turned her back away from us. She started to sway lightly as if wind was dancing with her.  She had on a lilac, playful dress that reached her knees. She had peachy skin that was flawless in every way possible. Her long black hair consisted of very bouncy curls and had a hair clip that pulled half of it up. 

The temperature suddenly went cold and I started to shiver. I looked at Hera but she kept a close eye on the figure. I started to ask her a question when Hera started to whimper. "K-K-Kanan?"

She pointed an unsteady finger at the figure and I followed her. 

The lady inf front of us changed her appearance. She had her head down and was making a raspy growl. She had a pool of blood underneath her and had a couple of toes missing. Her hands were clenched and crimson was seeping out of them. 

"Etal  oot era uoy. Eid lliw arze. Reverof enim eb lliw eh!", She yelled.

She looked up at me with blood eyes and I took a step back. She opened her mouth and took a big breath. 

Then she screamed. She screamed as if she was being chased by a demon. 

The sound vibrations were so violent that it pushed Hera and I back to the the dorm areas. As we were being pushed back, the lady was laughing violently and slammed the door shut.

We hit Zeb's and Ezra's door and slid down the door and fell backwards. I opened my eyes and saw Zeb leaning over us.

"Trying to catch me in the act again, I see?", Zeb questioned then looked at Hera. "And brought a witness, hm?"

"Zeb there is no time to talk. Ezra is in trouble", I said as I helped myself and Hera up. 

"Why did't you say so earlier!", Zeb yelled as he ran past us. 

I guess when it comes to Ezra, Zeb will drop everything for him.

All three of us ran to the door and I swiped the override key in the door. But the door didn't budge. Zeb and I ran into it a number of times but the door still didn't budge. Even the force didn't work.

"Step aside boys", Hera said. We turned back to see Hera steaming.

"She messed with the wrong mama!", Hera said as she rammed through the door. 

Zeb and I looked at each other in astonishment. But only for a second. "Zeb ,um, fix this", I gestured towards the broken down door. 

I ran through and yelled "Ezra!". The room was filled with steam. It was as if the steam was making a blanket that shielded the lady. I waved around my hands and found Hera.

"He is in the bathroom with that thing. I'm not coming in because there is a chance he is-"

"Naked", I finished for her. I smiled at her as she smiled at me and ran into the bathroom.

"Ezra!", I yelled.

I ran in and pulled back the see-through curtain. I saw Ezra with scalding marks on him from the water. I stuck my hand out and pulled it back quickly because the water felt like liquid lava. 

I turned off the water and took a closer look at Ezra. He was moaning and was trying to cover himself from further embarrassment. I turned and grabbed a towel and cradled him with it. I sat down in a nearby chair and saw him flinch as the towel embraced him. On further inspection, there were purple marks on his neck that wrapped around for what seemed forever.

"Ezra, what happened?", I asked.

"Kanan, help me. She tried to kill me", Ezra said as he grabbed my shirt. He made a whimpering breath and then went limp in my arms.

I sighed. "Hera, what are we going to do?".

"Kanan, I don't know. I really don't know".
