Kidnapper.

Chapter One.

In a faraway and not known for a lot of people, a secret base under ground had been constructed. The base took five long months to construct, but it was finally ready. In that place there were houses, a port to keep ships and shuttles, workshops, bars, stores, and basically, all places someone could imagine, but under the ground.

Most of the population was smugglers, pirates, simple sellers, and mostly, people who ran from the Empire. All of them were save thanks for the kindness of two persons, and the people appointed them as their leaders. These two persons had a personal squadron, like stormtroopers, but they weren't abusers like them.

These guards helped people when they were needed, and also, they helped people from outside their base. They went to distinct planets and took innocent people to their headquarters so they could protect them…and they have localized their new objective.

That day they finally found the objective on which the two persons were desperate to find, so the squadron quickly ran to the headquarters.

"Sir, we have located the objective," informed the general.

"Excellent. Continue with the protocol. Don't hurt the objective, and bring the objective immediately," ordered the man.

Meanwhile, faraway of that underground base, in a dark and cold night, a blue-electric-eyed boy slept calmly.

The name of the boy was Ezra Bridger, son of the now dead, Mira and Ephraim Bridger, also known as "The Voices Of Freedom". Ezra ended as a orphan and on the streets after a horrible incident: His parents were taken from the Empire on his birthday…but he wasn't alone, though.

Ezra had an older brother, named Brais Bridger, and with the trust they had between each other, the life on the streets wasn't always bad.

But then, Brais became jealous of his brother. He thought his parents loved Ezra more than him, so he decided to join the Empire, leaving Ezra alone on his birthday number seven.

Brais joined the Empire and became the apprentice of one of the dangerous person in the Galaxy: Darth Vader. Brais, although being evil and ruthless, he saved his younger brother on an occasion, and paid the price with his life.

That night, that cold and dark night, Ezra suddenly began to feel a pain on his body, crossing his spine and then…his nightmare began.

Ezra's Nightmare

In a part of Lothal's market, the crew was being attacked. Everyone was covering themselves behind something, separated from each other and trying to attack.

Suddenly, a vehicle got closer to Ezra's side…very close. Two men jumped out of it, and Ezra didn't even have time to cry out. The men quickly gagged the kid and then out him on the vehicle…they didn't count that Ezra could get himself out of the gag, enough to yell:

"KANAN!" yelled Ezra.

The Jedi, deconcentrated, turned around to see were his padawan was, and felt a tipping in his heart when he saw the vehicle going out of there as fast as a thunder, with Ezra on it…

End Of The Nightmare

Zeb's POV (a few minutes before)

I was awake because of my thirsty throat. I couldn't get any sleep, so I went for a cup of water. Yesterday was a very long day.

The red-blades were always there, always a step before us. They were unstoppable, and insupportable, like a really bad migraine.

I never thought that in the moment I entered to my cabin, I would see the kid squirming on pain.

I ran to Kanan's cabin as fast as I could and banged on the door.

Kanan's POV

They said sleeping was the best meditation. Sometimes I couldn't get any sleep, and when I got a little rest, it was soon interrupted…and suddenly, I could only hear banging on my door.

BANG!

Why it didn't surprise me that I was again interrupted?

I got on my feet and opened the door, just to see Zeb on the door.

"Kanan! Somethin' is wrong with the kid," explained the Lasat.

At first, I doubted. Ezra and Zeb had the habit of making pranks through all days. But I knew that, even they would never joke something about the crew's health.

So I ran with him to his cabin, and saw what he was referring to: My padawan seemed to be in agony.

I quickly went to his side and began to shake him, trying to wake him up.

Ezra's POV (actual time)

"Ezra? Ezra?!" I heard a voice say while they shook me.

I woke up suddenly with a gasp, and the moment I did, the pain stopped.

"Are you Ok?" asked Zeb.

I nodded. It wasn't true, though, and I knew they both knew I wasn't ok. We just been having a lot of trouble the last couple of days with running with the Inquisitors, they seemed impossible to ignore. We had more things to worry about, that I didn't want to add another worry to the list.

"Follow me," ordered my master.

I nodded again, jumped out of the bunk and followed my master, with my arms crossed and my head looking at the ground. I entered to Kanan's room, and sat in his lower bed as he indicated me to.

"Wait here," he told me before going out of the cabin.

And again, I nodded at response. In the moment Kanan got out of the cabin, I hugged my legs and laid on my head on my knees.

Since Brais died I been having really weird and dismal dreams, but I haven't been able to tell Kanan. After all, they were only that: dreams.

Kanan came back after a few minutes with two cups on his hands. He got closer to me, handed me one and sat down on a chair.

"What happened?" asked my Master.

I took a sip from the hot chocolate and explained:

"I saw us, being attacked on a part of Lothal. Suddenly, a vehicle goes to my side and two men jump out of it. They gag me and…it was horrible. It felt so real," I explained.

My master got to my side and hugged me with one arm, trying to comfort me.

"Don't worry. It was only a nightmare," assured Kanan.

Something bothered me. I didn't think it was only a dream. I thought on my next words carefully, and then said, "What if it's a vision?"

He stood in silence, and after a minute, he said to me, "Then I…we'll do everything in our power to keep you safe. You're part of the crew, and no one is going to get you away."

I can't precisely explain how I felt in that moment, but it was a mix between nervousness and happiness. I began to feel very tired out of nowhere, and unconsciously I laid on mi master's shoulder and closed my eyes.

Kanan's POV

I began to send sleep waves to my padawan. Almost immediately, I felt how my padawan lay on his head on my shoulder, falling asleep, so I laid him down on the bed, and went to the upper bunk and closed my eyes.

If Ezra's nightmare was truly a vision, I had to make sure he was out of harm's way. He is my padawan, and nobody was going to take him. Over my dead body.

Hi Rebels!

New story! (wiii!)

I'm so glad to continue, but this might be the last story of the saga...

And...did anybody cried on the last episode? Because I did...and I need a hug again...;-;

This story is before the events of the "Twilight Of The Apprentice", because I can't move on...

Chao Rebels!
