He suddenly felt overwhelming feelings of numbness, pain, fear, coldness, and emptiness of the force. Like he lost everything he was connected to. He opened his eyes to blurry vision and a headache. Then the voices and sounds of the fights occurring when he was unconscious flooded his mind and he screamed.

"Sh!" a freezing finger came up to his lips.

His visions suddenly focused at an abnormally fast rate and he saw the woman. Her mask revealed her yellow face, minuscule tattoos, and bold yellow eyes. She stood back up and he realized he was handcuffed, surrounded, and captured. She shot him a suspicious and inquisitive look before talking and he noticed that one droid perched on her right shoulder, staring at him with its razor red eye.

"You hide your fear well...," she started in her mechanical voice, "for a child. If only you could've protected your friends."

Ezra quickly became flustered.

"Shows what you know!" he shot back an angered look. "I'm growing stronger every day!"
"Unfortunate there's no one left to train you. The Jedi, of all, are dead--"
"Not all of them!"

The woman turned her back, but the droid kept a close eye on Ezra.

"Oh, we know about Ahsoka Tano." 

He froze for a second and grew fearful and nervous like he was before.

"Who's...Ahsoka Tano?" he spoke slowly.
"As pretty as you are," she turned back around.
"What?" he muttered in confusion.

She ignited her lightsaber and swung it in front of his neck as he turned away and then looked back at her with the glowing red sword in his face.

"I only need you alive...," she said. "In one piece. Now! Where's Ahsoka Tano?"

The woman continued to wave her lightsaber dangerously close around Ezra as she spoke. He just stared at her and then she sat down in a chair right in front of him, waiting for him to answer.

"There are two ways that I can interrogate you: with a sword around your neck," she threatened, "or by slowly breaking down your mind. I'll give you one last try. Where's Ahsoka Tano?"

For the sake of his friends and the rebel base, Ezra knew that hiding what he knew would be the best way to protect his new family. If he dies or if he lives, he will not give out a single word of information. This is how he can protect them unlike his parents. By self-sacrifice.
