Strange Sight

Chapter 5

I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever!😭 I just got a job and school has been crazy... Here you guys go.

Ezra's pov

I felt someone holding me in an embrace and awoke startled, thankfully it was just Kanan.....
What happened? The nightmare, me crying, Kanan calming me down. It all came back like a flood. He really does care. I snuggled up close to his chest and buried my face into the blankets. I felt Kanan wrap his arms around me and hug me. It was nice to have a father like person for once. Kanan then groggily sat up and ruffled my hair playfully. "Morning, are ya hungry?" I smiled and rubbed the back of my neck "Food does sound good... About last night, thanks for being there for me." "No problem, I'm glad that I was able to help." He gave me a quick hug and then helped me up out of bed. "Let's go see what's on the menu." "Now you're thinking like a street rat." I stated causing laughter from both of us. "What ever I'm just hungry."

3 hours later

The truck carrying the half house stopped giving us time to get off and make a short walk into town. Now me and Kanan are getting ready to steal some breakfast from a small food stand. "Ready?" I asked "Ready." Kanan ran straight into the person selling the produce and started to yell frantically about a missing wife that mysteriously disappeared in the town square. While he kept the seller distracted I filled my bag with fruit... That's when I felt a hand forcefully turn me around allowing me to look straight into the helmet of a bucket head. Crap.... "What do you think you're doing street rat?" Kanan and the seller turned around surprised while I looked at Kanan fearfully. Another storm trooper approached behind the other "Let's see who we have here." He brought out his finger print scanner and grabbed one of my fingers to scan. "Ezra Bridger, orphan... Run away orphan from the looks of it. Apparently you ran away from your orphanage at age 9, well they will be glad to have you back in custody. Send him away." My eyes went wide and I tried to get out of their grasp, no way I was going back there. I saw Kanan get into a battle ready position, what if he gets caught? He'll get more than getting sent to an orphanage, death. I closed my eyes feeling tears form but then opened them and mouthed a 'no' to Kanan. It hurt so much having to tell him to not stop them but I didn't want him to get hurt. A tear slide from his eye has he stood in his place shaking his head no. I nodded for him to go and was dragged away into a transport, they threw me into a box with a lock and closed. Once I heard them walk away I silently cried.

Kanan's pov

I got ready to take on the troops but paused when Ezra silently told me to not get involved. I saw him cry and felt my heart snap in two, he wanted me to just let him go, but in my mind I refused. I shook my head only for him to tell me to leave while I can. I cried has I watched him get pulled away into a shuttle and shipped off. Ezra I'm going to get you back.... I promise.

Ezra's pov 2 days later

I've been here for 2 days now in the orphanage barely fed and locked in a cage that I couldn't even stand in. Kanan probably is getting his friends right now. I teared up at the thought of Kanan and curled into a ball in the back of the cage. I shot up when I heard grunts and the sound of falling bodies. "Ezra?!? Ezra!?!" I immediately recognized the frantic voice "Kanan?" I saw him run up to my cage and unlock. Once it was unlocked he wasted no time pulling me close his chest and embrace me. I wept into his shirt "You came back for me?" "Of course, I'll always come back." I felt him pick me up has we headed out the back door. He continued to carry me to a parking lot where a hover truck carrying boats was preparing to leave, I saw Kanan check the license plate. He sat me up in one of the boats and soon joined me has we started to move. We laid down on the floor of one and cried together with being happily reunited. Kanan soon wide eyed had us sit up has he started to check me over for injuries "Did they hurt you? When did you last eat? How long did they have you in that cage? " I brushed him off slightly annoyed from his worrying. "I'm fine really." I said with a tone of annoyance "Okay okay I was just checking." Everything went quiet. "How did you find me?" Kanan grinned "A few mind tricks on some troopers did the trick, plus some computer hacking skills." We laughed through our tears but then moved closer for each other for warmth. Soon we both started to yawn. "Goodnight Kanan." I felt one of his hands run through my hair in a calming manner and the other gently rubbing my back. "Goodnight Ezra."

The last picture is so cool! Anyway I hope I'll update soon.🙄 The next is for "The Caretaker" in my rebel one-shots.
