Forgetting (Discontinued)

Chapter 16

Hey guys so if I updated this chapter then it must be because I finished revising it and I think it is good enough for you guys to read. It is either that or my sisters hacked into my account and are messing around. Okay so here you go the next chapter.

                                                                     ~~~Eight months later~~~~~

Zeb's POV

The kid has been missing for a few months now and everyone has been acting differently on the Ghost. Hera hasn't been in the mood to take any missions from the rebellion ever since, and Kanan has been having nightmares and headaches so he rarely sleeps. He says the nightmares are nothing, but we all know that there is something going on in his dreams. We have asked him why he has the headaches and he tells us that it is because the bond between padawan and master was broken. That, we do believe, because he has had the headaches ever since the day we lost Ezra to the Dark side. Sabine just hasn't drawn that much, and even if she does all she draws makes her cry. Chopper hasn't shocked anyone and just stays in one place during the day unless Hera tells him to do something. I have been completely fine. Never worry about anything. Or at least that is what I tell myself. The truth is I have been really worried about the kid.

Sabine has tried desperately to find any information on the kid or the inquisitors. All she finds is information on the Fifth brother, Kallus and high ranked stormtroopers that have been honored for completing a task. She hasn't found anything on the kid or the Seventh sister yet. It is just like they disappeared. 

I sit in my and the kid's bunk and look at his helmet collection most of the time. i stand up and walk to the helmets. I lift one up on my hands and turn it over in my hands. Suddenly something falls out of the helmet. I set it back with the other helmets and bend down to pick up the object. It was a little book with a worn out cover and with a fading name on it. EZRA BRIDGER 

"The kid has a journal?" I muttered to myself quietly as I opened the small tethering cover. 

Hello. I am Ezra. My mommy and daddy gave me this journal to write in. Today is my birthday and I got this journal to write in. I am so happy because today I am turning 7.

The words were written in a sloppy child's handwriting. I turned the page and saw that there were some drawings of stick figures who were labeled me, mommy, and daddy. I then turned the page again. There was some blood smudges on the page which startled me a bit. I started reading and what I read, scared me.

The empire came into our house and took mommy and daddy. I was hiding so the troopers didn't see me and they left. I left the house and went to the fields to lay down a while, but I fell asleep. When I woke up I saw an empty tower and I went inside.

I kept reading the little journal. His handwriting improved as he drew less and less pictures. The pages told of his injuries, people he met, and things that he stole. Then one of the pages talked about him meeting us.

Today i met a group of people. They said they are rebels. They are all nice except for the big Lasat, Zeb. The mandilorian, Sabine is cool, so is Hera, the twilek and Kanan. The droid is annoying and I can tell that neither him or Zeb want me here. Zeb had tried to get rid of me when we first met. He pushed me into the bucket heads and then left me there. He tried to get rid of me and I think everyone else will too. Maybe i should just leave the Ghost and go back to Lothal. I have to think about it.

I was shocked when I read this. He thought I tried to get rid of him. He thought I didn't want him here with us.

I skipped forward a few pages until I saw something interesting in the pages. It was about the day he was training on the Ghost with Kanan.  This sparked my interest because so far he had only written about bad things that happened.

Today I was training with Kanan on top of the ghost. We were doing lightsaber training with Zeb and Chopper. They were throwing cartons at me and Zeb seemed to enjoy it. I kept missing all of the cartons and didn't hit one. Then Kanan started to get frustrated and told me to focus. I did but then Zeb dumped the entire crate of cartons on Chopper at once, and they all got shot really fast one by one at me. I opened my eyes but still couldn't block any, and then I started stepping back as the cartons hit my face. I stepped on a carton and slipped. I fell off the ghost, sliding on the side before falling. I fell through the clouds but Kanan held me up with the force. The ramp opened and Zeb came out. He"barely" reached my hand when Kanan let me go. What I think is that he was trying not to reach me on purpose. He surely wanted me gone.

How could the kid think this?! Why would he think that I barely reached him on purpose? Was I really that rough on him? Maybe I was. Maybe-

"All specters to the cockpit, now." Hera screamed through the comm. I picked it up and pressed the button for the main communications line.

"What is it Hera?" I asked. The response was almost immediate.

"Sabine found information on Ezra!" She screamed through with a bit of happiness and irritation weaved into her voice.

I stood a bit shocked for a moment before I dropped the worn down notebook and running for the door.
