His Past
The small family was staring at Ezra as he was in utter shock; Kanan spoke again "are you saying that....these people in the documentary are your parents??" he asked, pointing to the two people in the photo being shown on the screen. All Ezra could do was nod due to being in so much shock; he tried to speak but knew he may cry. Ezra hadn't allowed himself to cry since his parent were around, so the teen wasn't going to let himself cry now. The only problem was, he didn't know there was a documentary about his parents and it was to much; he shot up and raced out of the room and out of the back door. "Ezra!!" Hera exclaimed, about to run after him but was beaten by Kanan who was already sprinting past her and out the door. Ezra ran as fast as his legs could take him; all he could hear was Kanan yelling for him to stop or slow down. Due to having longer legs, Kanan was beginning to catch up with the boy; Ezra tried to go faster but couldn't. He couldn't see where he was going thanks to the damn tears in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a hand grab at his wrist, pulling him to a stop "please Ezra...don't run" Kanan begged, catching his breath; the man made Ezra turn around and face him, but the boy kept his head down. Kanan gently lifted Ezra's chin up with two fingers and saw his tear stained face. "Oh Ezra" Kanan felt terrible for the young boy in front of him; he pulled the teen into an embrace. Ezra tried his best to stop the tears from falling, but failed; Kanan noticed this "please don't hold back your tears Ezra, we're here for you and you can talk to us, you can trust us" he reassured "...you can trust me". After that, here was no hope of sopping the tears as he sobbed and hugged Kanan back; they stayed like that for a while until Kanan decided they needed to head back to the house. Hera, Zeb and Sabine were waiting in the living room, looking at the door, wanting it to open and show Kanan and Ezra. Twenty minutes past until the door finally opened and, to there delight, he two males walked in. Hera was up and hugging Ezra in a blink on an eye; once she let go, Sabine quickly took her place whilst Zeb gave him a smile. "Are you okay sweetie??" Hear asked, her face and voice declaring her worry; Ezra nodded "I'll be fine, just some bad memories".
They all sat down in the living room, the TV now turned off. "Ezra...I know it's hard to talk about, but we need you to tell us about your past" Kanan stated as he sat next to the boy; Ezra sighed as he knew they would ask about that, He also knew he would have to tell them. Taking a deep breath, he began "when I was four years old, I was playing in the basement when my mum rushed down and picked me up, she gave me a backpack full of different things" he paused for a moment "she told me to fight for what's right and to help others...because if we don't, who will??". They all listened closely "then my dad came running in, saying that were wasn't much time...I didn't understand what he meant by that...they both told me they love me and that they always will" he felt a lump form in his throat "they hid me a secret compartment in the closet before....before over fifteen men in black appeared, all of them had an odd tattoo on their hands" he had to paused again "...they stabbed them...over and over again" the two girls gasped in horror; Ezra had seen all of this?! Hera sat next to the teen and rubbed his back in comfort whilst her husband placed his own hand on the boys shoulder; Sabine and Zeb just watched. "Once they had left, I crawled out of the closet and ran to our neighbours house who was a cop a the time...he called 911 once he saw my parents bodies on he floor" he sighed "after that, I was taken by social services and dropped off at Miss Parker's orphanage". Once he was finished, Hera gave the teen a bone crushing hug, soon followed by Sabine, Zeb and Kanan "if you ever need to talk to us or need anything at all Ezra, no matter where or what time, then you can come to us" Sabin stated, earning a slow nod moments before a yawn. Kanan chuckled before deciding it was time to go to bed; they all made their ways to their rooms and changed into pyjamas before they soon all fell asleep...well, Zeb and Sabine were fast asleep. Kanan and Hera were both worried for their newest family member; it was his first night sleeping at the new house. Both deciding to check on him, they stood up from their bed and entered the hallway and approached door when suddenly, it swung open, revealing the teen boy himself. All three of them jumped, not expecting to see the other "what are you doing up??" Kanan asked; Ezra explained that he was going to the toilet "what about you two?? Why are you at my door??" he asked. Hera explained that they were just checking up on him "oh...well, I'm fine". They all said good nigh to one another again, Hera giving the boy a quick hug before they returned to their room; Ezra did the same once he had gone to the toilet.
Kanan and Hera lay back down in their bed "Hera, I have a bad feeling that there's more to Ezra's past then we think or know" the man stated; his wife sighed "I know Kanan, but what do you expect?? Ezra only just met us today and he only told us about his parents death because of that documentary". Hera gave him a smile "we need to be patient and show him that he can trust us, okay??" Kanan nodded "okay, good night Hera" he smiled "night dear" they shared a loving kiss before falling asleep; Kanan was still worried about Ezra.
