Ezra

He had snuck out when Zeb left just minutes after, when he knew they won't be needing him. Now he wasn't so sure that was the smartest idea he ever had. Ezra was out in an alley with his friends talking and catching up on things, laughing making jokes having the best time. Suddenly an explosion sounded followed shortly by a shake, all around them people were screaming and running from what the source of the explosion must have been. Ezra ran out into the crowd of panicked people, it didn't occur to him that he would be shoved in different directions, or be elbowed in places he didn't know existed. "What's going on?" He asked to no one in particular for he knew that no one would answer him. He pulled a passing person aside "can you tell me what's going on? " he asked "there's been a bombing " then the person ran off.

Another explosion sounded and then a shake more people started running and those who already were ran even faster, some you wouldn't think would be able to do so. Going against all instinct and pushing aside the force's warnings he walked through the crowd determined to find out what's happening. He reached a clearing, it was the center of the town. There were bodies on the ground, the poor souls that didn't even have a chance to run. BOOM another explosion, Ezra followed the sound and ran against the crowd of people.

   There in the center of the street was a man, his clothes were torn and covered with mysterious stains. He looked like he hadn't shaved in a while, Ezra knew what kind of person he was, he was a drunk a 'low life' the Imperials would call them. The man had a detonator in his had, thumb hovering over it "why are you doing this?! " Ezra asked confused and scared but he had to push all that down, he had to be calm in this situation he took a deep breath then took a step forward the man lowered his thumb, it was now even closer to touching it, "don't come any closer" the man threaten "I'm not going to do anything, I just want to talk" Ezra took another step closer the man seemed a little bit surprised "p-please stay away, I-I don't want t-to hurt you" his voice was shaky, Ezra ignored that he walked even closer, to this the man held the detonator tight in his hand and hovered his finger very close, dangerously close to the button.  Ezra stopped in his tracks and put his hands up "ok, ok I won't take anymore steps just put the detonator down, I just want to help" he took a deep breathe then exhaled "I know how it feels like" "how?" the man seemed to question "how, how can you possibly know, how...this feeling I have, this empty void I have where my heart should be" he studied Ezra looked over him then made a face in confusion " y-your just a kid there's just there's just know way you would know" by this time the man put down the detonator or at least held it by his side "believe me when I say this, just because I'm a kid doesn't mean the empire cares" he walked closer then the older man tensed up and help the detonator up again and Ezra stopped.

  This continued Ezra talked the man lowered the detonator, he walked closer to him and the man lifted it up, now Ezra was just a foot away from him, he kept his eyes on the detonator, that small object would determine the fate of many people. "There's nothing left, for me that's it I'm ganna do it" time seemed to slowed down for Ezra, he ran towards the man as he pushed down onto the button, but it felt that he was just running in place, his feet moving but it seemed that he wasn’t going anywhere. He was close to the man when the bombs went off, the blast had pushed him to a near by wall. He squeezed his eyes shut, his whole body hurt, he opened his eyes everything was blurry and fuzzy when his vision cleared up he could see his friends standing over him. Their mouths moved but he couldn't hear them, all he could hear was the ringing in his ears from the explosion. They lifted him up Zac and Mike each putting an arm around him helping him stand. They hadn't walked very far when Ezra started losing consciousness, the last thing he saw were his friends try to keep him awake.

Sabine
The news came shortly after Zeb had arrived back at the Ghost with the supplies. They were all gather around the holo net watching the news, they all lot concerned the total number of people killed was 155. Which was a huge amount, Sabine looked around to see her friends faces, but she felt that something was odd she just couldn't put her finger on it. "Well it’s a good thing you came back before all that happened huh?" Kanan said as he patted the big lasat on the back "yeah" he agreed "I would've taken longer if I had let the kid come along " 'Ezra!' that's what was missing it's been to quiet "hey where's Ezra?" She had asked since she was the only one to notice "yeah where is the kid? He's been quite. Which if you ask me is really unusual, it make me feel uncomfortable" Zeb had said "it's like he secretly plotting something" that brings chills up his back as he shivered a little. Everyone looked around but they couldn't find the young padawan "Kanan why don't you try and find Ezra with the force " Hera asked her voice laced with worry "yeah I'll try" Kanan closed his eyes and concentrated everyone looked at him, as if he could solve all the problems in the galaxy, it was silent for a while, then Kanan let out a loud sigh "is he ok?" she asked nervous of what his answer was going to be "yeah he's fine just really hurt, injured  you know but this is a different, we need  to find him" no one objected the idea, they all agreed, so off they went to get ready to find their missing padawan.
