Fear of the Future

Chapter 13

Kanan's P.O.V

I heard a scream coming down the hall. I stood up and ran to where I thought I heard it. A door on my left opened and I felt Zeb standing at it. I stopped and asked, "Was that you?" "No," he said then we both heard the same scream. "Ezra," I muttered then took off again to the med-bay this time.

I opened the door to hear Ezra struggling in his bed yelling, "She's here!" "Kid! There isn't anyone else in here!" Zeb shouted, "You gave us a heart attack." Zeb walked off but I stayed standing at the entrance of the med-bay.

Ezra's P.O.V

I saw her standing next to me in person. My instincts kicked in and I screamed trying to get out of my restraints. I heard the door open to reveal Zeb and Kanan. "She's here!" I screamed as my mother smiled wickedly down at me. "Kid! There isn't anyone in here!" Zeb shouted at me, "You gave us a heart attack."

Zeb walked off but Kanan stayed in his spot. "Kanan," I said scared of the evil looming over me, "She's here." "Ezra, I can't feel any other presence in here," he said, "Maybe you're seeing things." "And yet," Mira started, "Maybe he isn't." I glared at her as Kanan said, "Get some rest. You are starting to hallucinate." He left me and my mother in the med-bay alone. I can't believe it, Kanan didn't believe me.

"Poor, poor little Dustin," my mother mocked, "It looks like you can't trust your fake family." "They aren't my fake family!" I shouted, "There more of a family than you would ever be to me!" "Then where are they now?" She asked. I ignored the question and decided to change the subject. "Why am I the only one that can see, hear and feel you?" I asked with cold eyes. She laughed a bit smiling, "Oh dear." "What's so funny?" I asked. "That you don't know," she said, "well, I guess I'll tell you anyway." Mira sat down on the bed and laid a cold hand on the side of my face. I tried to get away but there wasn't much I could do. "How can I feel you?" I asked, "Are you some kind of ghost but not transparent?"

"Oh no, it's even better than that," she said. "For who is it better for exactly?" I said. "Both of us," she said, "You see my child, we have finally mended our bond." "So now you're going to haunt me for the rest of your life?" I said. "I'm not a ghost but more than you realize," she said. "Look lady," I said, "I'm not one with riddles so just get to the point!"

"You are just like your father," she said, "How awful." "Don't talk about my dad!" I shouted. "Why?" She asked, "You didn't even know him." "That doesn't mean he is a bad person!" I said angrily, "No wonder he left you!" "Enough!" She shouted stomping her foot, "I can and I will make your life and family suffer if you don't corporate!" "How could you do that?" I asked mockingly, "Something tells me that you can't touch them either. Am I right?"

"Oh no, but I can touch and control you," she said wickedly. I became nervous and asked, "So what? Am I your puppet now?" She laughed more and said, "I am a part of you." "What does that mean?" I asked as she stood up. "I am your dark side, your evil essence," she said, "I am you."

"No," I said in disbelief, "No, your lying!" "Am I boy," she said and laughed. Mira disappeared into thin air but her laughing still echoed through my head. "Get out of my head!" I yelled and thrashed around trying to escape. I hear the door slide open to reveal who I least expected. "Ahsoka?" I said confused then winced when more pain came through my head. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

   "I came to get something Dakota forgot," she said. Oh yeah, Dakota left the med-bay yesterday. I forgot that she was in here to be honest. "Oh," was all I said and trying to keep my breathing at a normal pace. "What's wrong?" She asked me walking over then sat at the edge of the bed by my legs. "Why are you strapped down to this bed?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

   "I'm going crazy," I said then everything started to hurt like before when I was in Kanan's room. "Ezra," Ahsoka said standing up and stood closer to to me. "G-go away!" I said but my mother almost had me in her grasp to control me again. "There is no escape my son," she said in her snake like voice. "What's wrong?" Ahsoka asked calmly.

"You might think I'm insane," I said. "I promise, I won't think that nor will I ever will," Ahsoka said smiling calmly. "Well," I started then grunted as my head felt like it was getting shot at multiple times. I looked over at a worried Ahsoka and saw my Sith mother standing over her shoulder. "S-She's back," I said with the last of my strength before blacking out.
