Back In Time

Chapter 17

{a lot of this chapter will be in Ezra's point of view... and omg... more than 3000 words!!!!!!
Have fun to read because this is soooooooo long!!!!!"😂☺}

Ezra's POV:

I was still in the cell and my legs hurted more than yesterday... I start to think that my legs will never cooperate with me again... Like Millie... I don't know what happened with her...

Why is Zuko so mad. Why did he turned to the dark side!? Is it... Possible... He k-killed... M-millie? NO! That can't be!! Zuko would never hurt Millie! NOBODY WOULD HURT MILLIE! She's too cute and nice for that! Even the Emperor would show mercy for her!! I don't get it... Where is she?

With that Zuko entered.

"Want to play, Bridger?"

This is my chance!!!

"Sure! What about truth or dare?"

He thought for a moment, but then agreed.

"That wasn't the game I thought of but we can start with it. You first" he said to me.

I knew the REAL Zuko was playing now... This was my chance!!! He could let me do horrible stuff... But I know him too well!

"Dare."

He always says the same... Because he likes to see me do it.

"Kiss that toilet." He grinned.

See... Always the same boring order... I'm happy that I dusted it off before he came. ALWAYS BE PREPARED!

I kissed the cleaned part of it, so now it was his turn and he will choose...

"Truth." I knew it.

"You know you can't hit me with your lightsaber right!? You have to answer!"

"I know." He said rolling his eyes and pushing our lightsabers to the side.

"What. Happened. To. Milyane!"

"I don't talk about Millie, Ezra."

"You have to! You chose Truth!"

"FINE!"

He took a deep breath and waited a couple of minutes to continue.

"The house was burning... Her wheelchair broke and I couldn't save her on time!!! Maul told me that with his help... I can save everyone and I would take revenge on the Empire! They burned the house... it is their fault she's dead!!!!"

He was crying now...

Millie... Is... Dead???

I wanted to cry but I didn't...

This. Was. My. Only. Chance.

I took a deep breath and tried to hold back my tears as long as I could.

"Zuko... She is with Dawn now... She'll be fine. And it isn't your fault! You're right! It is the Empire's fault! But you're not going to fix someting by taking revenge... Do you think Millie would've wanted that? Maul only wants you at the dark side so he can use you. Come back brother. It. Is. Okay. I've been through the same with Dawn... And you helped me! Now I help you."

I hugged him... It hurted me, because of my burned legs and arms but I didn't care at all. I felt his head resting on my shoulder and hugging me back.

Is it working???

"I can't come back Ezra. I did horrible things!! Nobody can forgive me for that."
