Turn Back- A Star Wars Rebels Fanfiction

Chapter 4

Hey guys I just noticed that it's Thursday and last week I said I would update around Friday. I totally forgot, since I'm watching Star Wars Rebels again. Also, I'm planning on making another cover for this story, since I'm not too pleased with the one there is now. Anyway, here's chapter 4 guys.

When I finally come to, my head is throbbing like crazy.

I groan. Opening my eyes seems like too much work. Slowly, I crack them open. At first, the light is blinding, but then my eyes adjust.

I'm in some sort of gray room, lying on a cold metal bench stuck to the wall. "What happened?" I think, staring at the walls blankly. I remember that Sabine went crazy, that we were attacked...

I remember that there's someone else hunting us now.

I shiver, the coldness of this room is getting to me. I have to be in a cell right now. I have to get out of here and find Ezra, or anybody from the crew.

I stand up, feeling dizzy and swaying for a second. I steady myself and move to the front of the room, directly across from the bench I woke up on. It looks like a door. I climb the steps and pound on the door, hoping for an answer.

Nothing.

Maybe I can use the force on the door? After a minute of debating this in my mind, I shrug my shoulders. It couldn't hurt to try. I stretch my hand out in front of me, and close my eyes. I reach out with the force, trying to find the door.

For the first time, it feels like I can actually connect with it. I can see the storm troopers in the front of the door without seeing, I can sense the rest of the crew.

"The door."  I remind myself. "Look for the door."

I finally reach it, through the confusing maze of the force. I sense the lock, look at it's mechanics.

"Tilah?"

His voice catches me off guard, and my eyes open in surprise. I look around the room. I'm still alone, and the door is still closed and locked.

"Ezra?" I ask, a little freaked out. It's not everyday your friend's disembodied voice speaks to you.

"Tilah, you have to reach out with the force. That's how I'm talking to you."  Ezra says.

"Fine.." I say, sitting down on the bench again and closing my eyes.

"Ezra..?"  I say.

"Cool, you figured it out!" He says, like it was just a normal training session. "Where are you?"

"Honestly, I have no idea. What happened?"

"Well, I know that Sabine went totally crazy and knocked you out. Then we tried to stop her, but she took down me next. I think after that we were either boarded or pulled in by a tractor beam."

"Where are you right now?"

"Crawling through vents. These things are surprisingly clean."

My eyes snap open again. I can hear voices outside the door.

"Hold on, someone's about to come in."

"What?"  He sounds really worried now. "I'll be there soon, Tilah! Don't tell them anything!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I lay down on the bench and roll over onto my side, facing the gray wall behind the bench. I curl up, hoping I can trick whoever is coming in that I'm still out cold.
