Are We Meant To Be? *2nd book of the Other Half Trilogy*

~ Ch. 5 ~

                   Kanan's POV

    The kid, now known as Ezra, thanks to Han, shocked the three of us. "Kanan, is he...?" Zeb asked. "Yes, he is like me. We need to get to him!" I said, running out of the alley. Before I got there, the kid passed out. Han started to go to the kid but, I'm not letting Ezra go with him. No way, there isn't enough Jedi in the world, he has potential. I put my hand out, used the force, and knocked Han and Chewbacca out. This isn't a nice thing but, I'm not losing any more Jedi. It's been too long.....too long since I lost the Order. I picked up the kid and Zeb and Sabine moved Han and Chewbacca to safety away from the flames. "Kanan, what do we do about him?" Zeb asked, referring to the kids dead friend. "Throw him in the fire. It's a funeral fit for a King. We can't afford to stop and bury him." I looked around us. "Stormtroopers will be coming soon. Let's go!" I said. Zeb picked up the dead boy and threw him in the fire. I saw Sabine grab something off the ground and the three of us ran.

    "Where are you guys? We've got Troopers coming!" Hera said through the Coms. "On our way! Start the engines!" Sabine said. I couldn't get to my Com carrying the kid. I looked behind and noticed that the Stormtroopers were heading the opposite way, towards the fire. Good, they didn't see us.

    We got on the Ghost and Hera took off. I set Ezra in the Medbay. Hera walked in. "So, this is the boy that outsmarted you? Oh, fearless leader?" Hera said, smirking, trying not to laugh. "Haha, but yeah, this is the kid. This is also the kid that I told you about being the you-know-what." I said. I pulled Hera out into the hall and shut the door. "He is Force sensitive, the three of us just saw him crush four TIE's at the same time! That does not happen! Ever!" I said. Hera was surprised at the new information on our new friend. "What set him off?" Hera asked. "The death of his friend. He took it pretty hard. I'm not even sure if he even knows what he did. He passed out right after he used the Force." I said. "And now here we are." Hera said, looking at Ezra through the door. "Yup, here we are." I said. "How are you going to explain everything to him when he wakes up?" Hera said. "Me? I thought we were going to explain to him everything." I said, surprised. Thanks for putting me on the spot Hera, shesh. "Yes you are going to be the one to talk to him. You have to explain to him about the Force don't you? Master Jedi." Hera said. "Hey, quit calling me a Master. I never got there." I said as she started to walk away. "You will be a Master soon, that is, if you can convince him to stay." Hera said, than disappeared around the corner into the living area, probably to check on the other two. 'I might as well go get him a glass of water for when he wakes up.' I thought, and headed for the kitchen.

                    Ezra's POV

    I woke up and my head was killing me! It feels like I got stepped on by an AT-AT Walker.  I sat up. "Jai, where are the painkillers?" I asked. I got no response. "Jai?" I said, then I opened my eyes and stood up quickly. This isn't my home. Where am I? Where is Jai? I looked around and it seems to be a Medbay on a ship. A ship........holy shit!! I'm in space?! What the?! I quickly looked around for my backpack, found it, grabbed it, and climbed into the ventilation system. Thank god I'm small. I heard a door open and some footsteps. I heard whoever it is curse. Then the internal Com system came on. "Guys, where's the kid?" a guy said. A kid? I'm not a kid. I need to find Jai and get us out of here, so I started to crawl. "He has ta' be on the ship. We're in the middle of hyperspace." Somebody with an accent said. "Didn't I tell you that it was your job to watch the kid?" some women said. "Well, I didn't expect him to wake up yet." a man said. I took a turn and kept crawling. "Oh, wait. I think I hear him. Yup, he's in the ventilation system" some other woman said, her voice didn't sound like the other one. She sounded close, I looked down and the hatch gave way.

    "Ow." I mumbled at the impact of my back on the floor. "Found him." someone said. I blinked and was blinded by the light. I covered my eyes and waited for my eyes to adjust to the light. I moved my hand away and saw a Twi'lek and a man standing above me. Wait......this man looks familiar........he's the man that I saw in the market! The one that I stole that crate of T-25's from! My memory came back and I remembered that Han, Chewy, Jai, and I were fighting off the stupid Empire.......and Jai died. Then I blacked out after that. These people were there too, they just didn't do anything. "Look, thanks for saving me, but, I need to get back to Lothal." I said. The man and the Twi'lek looked between each other, then back at me.

    "Yeah, about that......you can't go back. Not right now anyway." the man said. "Why not?" I asked, a little irritated. "Because we just got away from Lothal and are now in hyperspace." the Twi'lek said. She looks oddly familiar.....strange. "Anyway, why don't you tell us your name?" she asked. "You first." I said. I never give my real name first. I don't even know if I can trust these people. But.......this man.........what is it about him that has me so curious? "Come on." she said. The man and I followed her. I slowed down, that's it! I can't take it anymore! I turned around and looked at the man, dead serious. There is this nagging feeling and it feels like he's in my head.

    "Get out of my head." I said to him. "What are you talking about?" he asked. "That little 'swishing' noise in my head. That's you, so get out." I said. "Swishing noi- oh! I see what you mean." he said, then started to laugh. "It's not funny!" I said. "You don't understand. That's not me in your head. It's called the Force, and it's telling you to stay here and train with me. You are Force sensitive and have the potential to become a Jedi." the man said. "A Jedi?! You're a Jedi?!" I said, amazed. "Yes, yes I am." the man said. "And you're telling me that I am what you are?" I asked him. This whole thing sounds ridiculous to me. There's no wa-"You are a force sensitive, and I can teach you to become a Jedi. How else can you explain what you did with those TIE's? You can't deny it and you can't hide it." the man said. I thought this over. Could I really be Force sensitive and be trained in the ways of the Jedi?
