(Inquisitor POV)

Sitting in my office, I smile as the Padawan's screams and cries wash over me. Using a vision to get inside his head was a wonderful idea. Ezra cries out again, then is silent. He is unconscious now. When he awakes, I will be there to torture him, to finish turning him. But first: To visit his petulant Master, Kanan Jarrus.

Kanan doesn't look up when I enter his cell. He is in a deep meditative state. I walk over to him and slap him across the face. This gets his attention. He gazes up at me calmly.
"Inquisitor," he says.
"Jedi," I reply.
"Meditating? Trying to reach your Padawan?" Kanan's eyes flash.
"What did you do to him now?"
I shrug. "A simple, yet painful, vision. A wonderful way to get inside his head. I enjoy hearing him cry out with pain."
"I heard him. Why are you doing this to him? He's just a child." The Jedi's eyes cry out with pain for his Padawan.
"You believe that no more than I do. He is powerful-He will make a powerful Sith."
"Never!" Kanan shouts. "He would never join you!"
"Don't be so sure, Jedi," I tell him. "His compassion is his undoing. He thinks that you and your crew are dead. His vision told him that."
"No!" Kanan yells.
"It is too late, Jedi," I open the door to his cell and taunt him. "It's too late for Ezra Bridger."
With that, I return to my office. Agent Kallus is waiting for me there.
"How is the boy?" He asks.
"In pain. He is unconscious at the moment. Have him released from his bonds but secure the cell door. I will visit him shortly."
Kallus nods. "Sir yes sir." He leaves to take care of the Padawan.
I smile. Soon my Master will have his wish satisfied.
