Saved me

Empire Day part 2

"He's detailing imperial fighter employments on Lethal!" Sabine says excitedly. "That's it" Kanan says "Zeebo has info the empire doesn't want getting out. Sabine can you access it?" Kanan looks at Sabine hopefully and she says "I think so but I need a few minutes" Kanan turns his focus back on Ezra and asks worriedly "Hey Ezra are you ok?"

I sigh and say "Yea Kanan. You better call the others with this imperial blockade we wont be able to get out for a few days and there's plenty of room here." He nods and I climb down the ladder. I enter my parents old broadcasting room. "haha I remember this place. mom and dads work area" I say to no one. I smile at the memory and pick up a data chip.

Kanan's Pov

Ezra climbed down the ladder and Zeebo started speaking. "Ezra Bridger. Son of  Mira Bridger and Ephraim Bridger. Both deceased. Born 15 years ago today." I was speechless. "So Empire Day is Ezra's Birthday?" Sabine asked shocked. Just then Hera and Zeb came through the door. "So what is this place?" Hera asked curiously. Ezra poked his head out of the hole and said "Its my parents old place. We can stay here till the blockades over" Hera nods in approval and says "Its fine with me"

"Well since this place was only meant for three people were gonna have to pair up." Ezra stops for a minute thinking about something. "Hera, Kanan, and I can take my parents old bedroom, we can put Zeebo in my old tower cause no one will look there, and Sabine and Zeb can go in my old room" suddenly Zeb cuts in, "Why cant the kid take his own room?"

Ezra's Pov

"To many bad memories in there. Now follow me" They all sympathetically look at me but they follow. I walk down the all to familiar hallway and stop at a door. My door. "T-This is where Zeb and Sabine can sleep. there's extra blankets and a cot in the closet." I continue walking until I reach my parents door. I take a shaky breath and lay my hand on their door. I slowly open the door and walk into the room. "Sorry Kanan and Hera but you'll have to share a bed and there's a cot in the closet because when I was little Zeebo used to stay over all the time." Kanan blushes a deep crimson red and Hera laughs. I freeze up and look at Hera. "What?" she question. I smile then I laugh. she seems taken back by my sudden outburst "What?! What did I do?" She questions again. "I'm sorry" I giggle "You sound just like my mom when she laughed" I have to cover my mouth to prevent and more laughs escape my throat. "I haven't laughed like that that in a long time." I walk up to Hera and embrace her in a big hug catching her off guard. "Thanks Hera" she slowly wraps her around me "No Problem Kid" I suddenly realize what I'm doing and let go of her. "Sorry about that I got a little emotional. Right! Well get some sleep." I pull out the cot and lay down on it. What am I doing I'm becoming too attached.

Kanan's Pov

I fall asleep to find myself back in the house but its much brighter and more lively. Suddenly two figures come into view. a women and a man who look like Ezra. Ezra's parents?! A little Ezra runs in jumping up and down. Ezra jumps into his parents arms yelling "Mommy! Daddy!" they laugh and put him down. "Hey baby happy birthday" Ezra's mother said. "Honey its time for the daily broadcast" His father chimed in. "Ezra go play in your room for a bit" Ezra nodded to his mom and ran to his room. a minute later Ezra heard screaming. "Mommy? Daddy?" Ezra asked quietly walking into the living room. Imperial troops had their guns pointed at Ezra's parents. My blood boils when I see who's standing in the doorway. "Kallus" Ezra's father spits. "Well What do we have here" Kallus says walking over to Ezra. "Nooo" Ezra's mother yells "don't hurt him not my baby" Ezra's father hugs his now sobbing wife. "Oh I wont hurt him physically yet but mentally" Kallus laughs evilly "men... Fire" I cant bare to look but the screams of Ezra eco through my mind. "Oh little Ezra don't cry. You get to come live with me now" Kallus said only making Ezra cry harder. suddenly I wake in a cold sweat. I looks at Ezra only to see he's not there. I gently shakes Hera. "Hera" I say softly. She groans and says "Yea Kanan what is it?" My voice is laced with worry as I say, "Ezra's not in bed"

Hera's Pov

I find myself very awake now. "Where is he?" I ask panicking slightly. "I don't know but Hera. I had a vision about Ezra's past." Kanan says it so quietly that I almost didn't hear it. "What about?" I say softly. "H-He saw h-his parents murder on his birthday Hera" Kanan sobs into my solder as I hold him. "Shh Kanan it'll be ok" I say calmly to calm him down even though I was crying tears of my own. We sit there until he and I are out of tears. "Come on lets go get the others up" I say standing up. "Zeb Sabine come on get up." they both start to stir and finally they wakeup."There's a meeting in in two minutes wake up" I walk out of Ezra's old room and into the living room to see something I didn't expect "Ezra!" I exclaim running over to him. "H-Hey Hera" Ezra says "Why weren't you in bed this morning!" I yell as everyone walks in.

Ezra's Pov

"Oh! It was just a bad dream that was all there's no need to be worried" I say nonchalantly. "Ezra you know you can talk to us if you ever need to" Kanan says standing next to Hera. "yea I know" I say shrugging them off but Kanan and Hera suddenly embrace me in a hug. "No I don't think you do" Hera says. I can feel my walls crumbling to the ground. "I-Im f-fine so s-stop w-what are you d-doing?" I ask as tears stream freely don my face. I try desperately to stop them. "Ezra" Kanan says softly "Its ok to cry and hurt. They are perfectly normal emotions" I don't want to be weak. "I cant be weak" I sob crumpling to the ground with Hera and Kanan still hugging me. "If I w-was stronger then they would still be here. ITS MY FAULT THEIR DEAD!!" I yell

"Oh Ezra sweetie. there was nothing you could do you were a little boy. its not your fault" Hera says stroking my hair. Kanan puts his hands on my shoulder and I look up at him. "You couldn't stop Kallus at your age." Zeb and Sabine walk into the room and Zeb asks "uhh is this a bad time?????"

"Zeb you and Sabine sit down" Hera says sternly but I ignore her. "How did you know it was Kallus that killed my parents" Zeb and Sabine gasp but I ignore them "I've never told anyone that" Kanan sighs and says "Ezra you and I bonded and I saw some of your memories" I gasp and my breath picks up speed. "You saw my memory's?" I ask horrified. "Not all of them but some of them"

I sigh relieved. "So I have a question?" Kanan smiles reassuringly and say "Yea" "Does this mean the dream I had last night was a memory of yours?" I ask nervously. I whisper the dream into Kanan's ear and his eyes widen. "y-Yea that was one of my memories." it was quiet for a moment before I say " Thank You" "what for" Hera questions "for comforting me when I need it. no ones ever done that you were the first people" I smile sadly

"No problem little man" Hera laughs as she Ruffles my hair. We're just like a real family.
