It began a normal day for young Ezra; get out of bed, find some spare cloths, try to get some breakfast and stay away from Tom, Bill and the "Stormtroopers" (a nasty teen gang). But knowing the group personally, it would be far from easy. Ezra tend to either stayed in the woods across the road, in his room or with Miss Parker - the owner of the orphanage - she was the only one that was nice to him. After fifteen minutes, Ezra failed to get breakfast, but thankfully remembered he had a small amount of money hidden in his room, under a loose floor board; he grabbed the £5 that he had earned by cleaning Miss Parker's car and raced off towards the shop that was down the road. Little did Ezra Bridger know, his life was about to change.

The kid arrived at the shop; he was about to enter when he saw some "Stormtroopers" hassling a girl, looking a little bit older then himself. He knew what that gang could do - from many personal experiences - so without another through, Ezra ran over to them. "Hey!! Leave her alone and go hassle someone else!!" he exclaimed, this made them all stop and turn towards the sound of the yell; all of the gang members began to laugh when their eyes landed on the younger teen. They all approached Ezra as one of them spoke "what are you gonna do?? Be her hero??" they laughed some more as another spoke up "I doubt a useless, pathetic and unwanted street rat could save anyone, not even your parents". Ezra could feel his knuckles turn white as he made a fist to control his anger "shut it Taylor!! You know nothing about that" but before he could say or do anything else, Taylor's fist hit Ezra straight in the stomach then onto his back. He landed on the floor with a thud, gasping for air; one of the other guys harshly grasped a fist full of Ezra's hair so that he was facing up at them "just wait till Tom and Bill hear about this, then your real punishment will come". And with that, they thankfully left; the girl from before ran over to Ezra, helping him up "are you okay?!" she asked, worry and concern traced in her voice. Ezra nodded once he got to his feet "I'm fine, you might want to stay clear of that lot though" he advised, earning a smiled and nodded; the two suddenly heard a voice shout out to them. They both turned around to see a man, a woman and a teen boy. "Sabine!! What's wrong?? And who's this??" the woman asked with a kind and gentle voice; the teenager girl, Sabine, explained "four boys began hassling me and this boy jumped in" he looked towards Ezra "I guess...he saved me". The man stepped in "are you both okay??" he looked worried and concerned "I'm fine, but he got a beating". All eyes turned towards the boy, their attention now on Ezra who was focused on getting his breath back "are you okay kid??" the woman asked, carefully placing a hand on the boys shoulder "I'm fine...sorry but I have to go" he began to walk off, but the other teenager boy got in the way is bleeding and your breathing pritty heavy", Ezra looked up and said "look no affence but I'm glad your okay but I need to go now, like I said before stay clear of hem boys they can do worse then this that's why I need to go now" and win that the boy ran off back down the street to the foster home. "I wish I new that kids name" the man said then the woman said "me too who know maybe we'll bump into him again".

4 Hours Later....

Ezra eventually found some food that was edible and was also about to hide most of the day, but he knew that he couldn't hide forever. The teen was sat in the garden, as instructed by Miss Parker to all of the children, waiting for some people to arrive and take a look at everyone; that was the way he fostering or adopting process worked. All of a sudden "hey!! Street rat!!" it was Tom, walking towards him with his brother Bill "we heard you'd mouthed off at some of our 'Stormtroopers' earlier" the younger teen stood up and attempted to leave, but was stopped by the two brothers "I don't think so street rat". And with that, the beating began; more 'Stormtroopers' approached to watch, acting as if it was the best entertainment. Ezra didn't fight back, knowing he was out numbered but also, he didn't want to right now; he took the same beating most days, today was no different.

Inside however, Miss Parker was welcoming the family that was there to foster; a man, his wife and two teenage kids, a girl and boy. They were the same people Ezra had met that same day just hours before outside the shop. Just as the welcoming was over, a hooded figure entered the room through the door that lead to the garden; Miss Parker recognised the hoodie but also noticed some blood on it, as well as it was dripping from his face. "Take the hood down Ezra and showed me your face" she ordered gentle; the boy, Ezra, just shook his head 'no' but the woman spoke with a stern voice "now Ezra". Knowing he didn't want to get into trouble with the woman, the teen complied and removed the hood, revealing his bloody face; the families eyes widened in surprise "you!?". Ezra jumped a little, not noticing the family before "you?!" they were all staring at one another before Miss Parker broke the silence "Ezra, go clean yourself up, I'll take to Tom and Bill" she stated earning a nod "fine, but don't bother taking to them, you know it never works" and with that, Ezra returned to the garden with a few tissues. "Who is that??" the man asked, earning a smile from the woman "that's Ezra, one of the kids that live here" and with that, they went to meet the kids.
