Saved me

Dreams

Ezra's Pov

We finally managed to get off of lothel and let me tell you. I am so glad to be back in space. We of course handed tzeebo over to the alliance and got some good money out of it too. Me and the team have really been connecting. By that I mean we fight a lot. Especially me and Zeb. We're like two peas crammed into the same pod of you catch my drift. Lately I've been having strange dreams though. I'm not sure I'm ready to tell Kanan and the rest of the crew yet. What if they make fun of me? I'm dreaming of my old master Kallus. (Shivers at the name)  what if he takes me back. I know it's stupid to worry about these things but

"-zra. Snap out of it" Kanan says waving a hand in front of my face "are you ok? You've been spacing(lol) out a lot lately" concern is written on his face. "What? Oh yeah I'm fine" I say tiredly. Kanan doesn't seem convinced but he leaves me alone for now. I really need to sleep but I'm afraid to. What if I had another bad dream and they find out. It's really scaring me and I don't know what to do.

"-rza! Your doing it again" Kanan waves his hand in front of my face and I snap out of my thoughts. "Sorry." I laugh sheepishly hoping they don't catch on. "I'm just gonna go" I awkwardly stand up and go to my room and lay on my bed. I can't fall asleep I can't fall.... Asleep. And much to my discomfort. I drifted to my land of nightmares.

Ezra's dream

Space...
the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission... to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Ok I've had weird dreams before but this one definitely takes the cake and who is that voice I'm hearing. Suddenly I'm in... Wait where am I? I can't see anything. Suddenly I'm back at my old house and I'm only a child. "Mom?" I call but no one answers me. "Dad?" Silence two gunshots are heard and I start to panic. "MOM! DAD!" I fall to the floor crying over their dead motionless body's. "Please" I sob "don't leave me alone. I'm scared of being alone" an evil cackle ecosystem around me. "Who's there?" I call out. I know that's the most stupid thing to do in horror movies. Like the killers just gonna answer "yeah I'm in the kitchen making a sandwich you want one?" Anywho back to the dream. I stumble through my old house like its a maze. I open a door and see my old room. Covered in blood, my blood. I whimpered and tried to leave but I was pushed to the ground. I don't want to be here bad thing happen in this room. I want mommy and daddy. Why did they leave me. There's a man in here. he's a bad man. I don't like him, he hurts me a lot. He laughs at my pain and he scares me. He does bad things to me too. It hurts a lot and I always feel dirty after. He says it's our little secret and I don't want to tell anyone. They'll thing I'm dirty and then they'll throw me away. I want mommy and daddy. "Mommy daddy" I cried I'm not supposed to cry or mr k gets mad at me and if mr k gets mad I get punished. I don't want to be punished I want Kanan. A pain in my cheek brings me back to reality. "You filthy slave" Kallus said venomously. "You deserve this" he strikes me again and I fall to the floor. "Please I'm sorry" I plead weakly "I'll do better I'll Be better" but it's too late Kallus is already angry. He got out is whip and started hitting me with it. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE STOP IT HURTS." I scream. the pain is too much. I can't bear it but he doesn't stop "KANAN HELP ME PLEASE AAHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream again as Kallus kicks dirt on my wounds and leaves, leaving me to cry in solitude. "Please" I sob weakly "let me die. I just want to die" a bright warm light surrounds my and I open my eyes

"Kanan?" I rasp out tired from screaming. Before he can reply I jump in his arm sobbing into his shoulder "I w-was s-so s-s-scared" my whole body shakes and heaves with sobs. Kanan strokes my hair and rubs circles in my back. "I-I I'm s-sorry Kanan. Didn't mean to wake you up. Yo-"

"Ezra. It's ok to have a nightmare. That is nothing to be ashamed of.
If you want to talk about it I'm right here ok" Kanan gets up to leave and I grab his wrist. "Please" I whisper "Please don't leave me alone again" Kanan smile sadly and says "I won't ever leave you."
