Standing Alone

Chapter 3.3

Kanan's POV:
Everything fell apart. I could not imagine... that... Ezra... my son... died... I just couldn't. We put him in the med bay where I sat beside his bed, holding his hand, hoping he would wake up, but he didn't wake up... The doctors told us there's a small chance that he'll survive. He lost too much blood and due the fact that I gave 2 sacks of my blood, his chance of surviving did not became bigger.

"Kanan... Sato called us for a briefing. Are you coming?" Hera asked.

"No." I answered directly.

She turned around and walked outside the room, but stopped at the door.

"We all want Ezra to be okay, Kanan. But if the doctors are right, we have to let him go..."

"I can't"

Hera sighed and walked away, closing the door behind her.

"I can't let you go... Ezra, wake up... please."

I looked at him, but he didn't move. His eyes were closed.

"Ezra, we love you, come back my little light..."

I kissed his forehead and right after... that awful sound filled the room. Doctors rushed inside and I cried. They alarmed the rest of the crew and they showed up beside me.

"What happened!?" Hera asked me.

"I don't know..."

We all looked in awe how the doctors tried to bring Ezra back. But after 30 minutes, they gave up.

"You can say goodbye to him, now" one of them said.

I walked towards the bed and sat down on the chair beside it. Tears escaped me eyes and the crew left to leave me alone with him. I heard Sabine yelling that it had to be her and that she knew he cut himself, but never dared to tell it.

"Force... why him..."

"Because the bond has to be restored."

"Barriss?"

"Yes, Jarrus. It's me."

"What do I have to do? I can't lose him! Please! Tell me what to do!"

"Your bond was broken. Master and apprentice were separated. Restore the bond. Restore your Father-Son relation."

"How!? I'm too late! He... He's dead. I- I was too late..."

"The force will always be there for you. Use it."

An idea popped up in my head and I got hope.

"Do you think it will work, Barriss?

"Do you?"

"yes."

"If you believe it will work, why ask others for their opinion?"

I smiled and covered Ezra's eyes with my hand while I focused on the force.

"I can do this. C'mon Ezra."

I felt the force flowing through my veins and I gave it to Ezra. I felt weak, but continued until I heard the heart monitor beeping. I fell back in the chair and looked at Ezra. Blue eyes met mine...

"I knew you would wake up." I said smiling.

"W-what happened..." He asked.

"Nothing much..." I answered

I got out of the chair and hugged him.

"Don't you ever dare to die again..."

Ezra looked at his arms and realized what happened. He broke out in tears.

"I'm sorry Kanan! I-I am sorry!"

Ezra buried his head is his hands and tried to break free from the hug.

"Relax Ezra... It's okay."

I grabbed his arms and moved them out of his face. Then I hugged him so tight that he couldn't escape.

"K-Kanan..."

"Hush..."

When I felt him relax, he accepted the hug and rested his head against my chest.

"Rest, my son. I'm here."

Ezra fell asleep in my arms and I smiled.

"Did I restore our bond, Barriss?"

"You did. Take care of him. You were able to bring him back to you, now. But maybe... it won't work next time."

"What do you mean?"

"take care of him."

"I will. Always."

Nobody's POV:
{ starloverrebel I know you like these things, so this is the riddle for this season😇}

A key can unlock the truth,

but after a key has been dropped or used a lot... it can break.

And a broken key cannot open a lock.

And if it does, it can only open it once,

But not twice

{Have fun!!!😂😈}
