It was now quarter to seven at night and the entire house was done!! The family were say in the living room, talking about what they were going to have for dinner as there was no food in. "How about Ahsoka and Sabine go down to the corner shop and buy some drinks and puddings whilst I order us some pizza??" Hera suggested, earning immediate nods and cheers from the group; Kanan handed the two teenage girls twenty pounds as they threw on their shoes and jackets. The two cousins left the house and began their walk down many streets; they were half way near the shop when footsteps could be heard. "Hey Sabine, can you hear that??" Ahsoka asked in a hushed tone, it earned her a nod when all of a sudden, three men stepped out of the shadows and grabbed at the two startled girls; they were dragged down a dark alleyway. The teens tried to scream but the men covered their mouths; they were terrified!! All three men wore black clothes but their faces could be seen; they pinned both Sabine and Ahsoka against the brick all as they began to search them, most likely for money and any valuables. To prove that point, as soon as they found the girls phones, the money Kanan had given them, Sabine's small diamond necklace she had been give for Christmas and Ahsoka's golden bracelet that she had received for her birthday, one of them men snatched them away in his grasp. "Hey!! Give them back!!" the girls exclaimed as they tried to get out of their holds; the man with the scarred cheek glared at the two as he and his mates turned angry "shut it or else those pretty faces of yours won't be so pretty". Yup, that did the trick. 

Suddenly, a dark hooded figure jumped from the roof off a nearby building and landed on their feet near the teens and men "get away from them!!" it was a male, a young one at that; the three men glared at whoever it was "what are you gonna do??". They laughed loudly until the figure stepped out of the shadows and removed his hood; the man stopped and stepped back "Phantom?!". Both Sabine and Ahsoka were surprised yet relieved to see the other teenager. "I'll give you one last chance" Phantom warned "return what you took, leave and never come back" his vice was so calm that...it was actually terrifying; the men shared a look before pulling out a knife each that they had hidden away. "And if we don't?? You'll do nothing about it" one of the men stated, holding tightly to his weapon; the boy just smirked which instantly made the thieves feel uneasy. The three men surrounded the teen as one of them threw the first punch which was easily dodged; it only took only a few minutes for Phantom to beat the crap out of one of the men and knock them out - that was when his other mate joined in. The last man watched the two girls, holding a knife at them so they wouldn't try anything. Phantom easily forced his conscious attacker into a head lock "leave. Now" was all he ordered int he scary calm voice; the two men didn't need to be told twice, running away as fast as they could. They even left their unconscious mate on the floor!! The two girls watched as Phantom approached them "you two okay?? Did those guys hurt you??" the boy asked, scanning his eyes over their shaking forms but thankfully earning two nods "good" he sent them a reassuring smile "come on, I'll walk you home". 

It was a slow and silent walk as the two cousins tried to process what the hell had just happened!! And they couldn't stop shaking, not matter what they did or thought of; Phantom gave them as much time as they needed to walk and even allowed Ahsoka to hold onto his arm - it was a form of reassurance to know she was okay. They eventually reached the house and the boy walked in after them as the teen girl had yet to release his arm - he wanted to make sure they were okay anyway; the entire family greeted the two girls but soon noticed they had a friend with them. "Hey Phantom, what are you doing here??" Hera smiled; the boy returned the kind greeting before allowing the two cousins to explain what had happened. "We were nearly at the shop when three men dragged us down an alleyway...they took the money, our phones, Sabine's necklace and my bracelet" Ahsoka explained; all eyes went wide with horror from the information. Zeb was quick to sit next to his sister and embrace her - Anakin did the same with his own sister. Sabine spoke up "I don't know what they were going to do...probably beat us up....but before they could, Phantom showed up, warned them off but two of the men attacked him with knives". All attention turned to the teen by who was stood by the door, his arms folded across his chest "don't worry, I didn't let the them hurt the girls" he reassured "I managed to knock one out and told the other two to leave which they gladly did" he then reached into the pocket of his hoodie "I even managed to grab these back for you without the men knowing". In his hand was the stolen items; the girls lit up and took them back with smiles "thank you!!". Hera walked over to the mysterious teen and wrapped her arms around him, surprising the boy as he seemed to become tense "thank you Phantom" she spoke with a kind smile "for saving and protecting my daughter and niece" Phantom couldn't hold back his smile as he hesitantly returned the warm gesture "its fine...I told you, I'm always around in the shadows when you need me" they parted and the kid said he needed to leave before walking out of the house.

Kanan looked at his wife before his eyes widened in horror once again "Hera...your hands....is that....blood?!" they all looked at the woman's hands, as well as her top; it then clicked "Phantom?!". The entire family raced out the house to see the boy at the end of the drive walking away; they screamed his name and ran over. The yell had startled the boy who spun around - was something wrong?! "What??" he asked with confusion; they seemed to scan his body before all eyes landed on his bloody shoulder "you're bleeding!!" Kenobi exclaimed, pointing to his shoulder. The kid shrugged as he looked "I know, one of the guys went to stab Sabine so I put myself in front of her" all eyes widened once again "you...you took a stabbing for me?!" Sabine asked in disbelief; Phantom nodded "of course I did, I wasn't gonna let you get hurt when I could prevent it". All of a sudden, Phantom's vision became extremely blurry...and he was going light headed "Phantom??" Anakin spoke but it was too late; the kid began to fall to the floor as he passed out!! Thankfully, Kanan was able to catch the ten before he could hit the floor "we need to get him the the hospital, now!!" Hera exclaimed as she ran into the house, grabbed her car keys and purse before unlocking the car. Sabine sat in the passenger seat whilst Anakin sat in the back - Zeb, Ahsoka and Kenobi were going to stay at home as there wasn't enough room in the car and someone needed to answer the door for the pizza guy, but they were to be updated. Kanan hurried to pick Phantom up bridle style and sat i in the car with the boy still in his arms sat on his lap. Hera was able to find the hospital in twenty minutes "how's he doing??" Anakin asked with worry; his uncle looked the the child in his arms, felt his pulse and checked the wound "he's weak, lost a lot of blood...we need to get him to a doctor fast". 

The woman pulled up and parked up in record time before they all jumped out and raced into the building - Phantom still in the mans arms; Kanan was much faster then everyone else. They ran thought the doors and yelled out for help; many nurses and doctors hurried over once they saw the boy in Kanan's arms, as well as the blood. One of them pulled over a portable bed, to which the man placed the child down and stepped back "what happened??" one of the nurses asked; Hera explained "he was stabbed in the shoulder about thirty minutes ago". A doctor stated that he had lost a lot of blood and that he needed to be treated immediately before they rolled him away. The four family members sat down in the waiting area until the two teens decided to get to the shop and by them something to eat as they hadn't had dinner. They could all tell Sabine was feeling more then guilty; Anakin continued to reassure his cousin that she wasn't to blame and that Phantom had decided to step in front of the knife. Kanan sat in silence as his wife text her brother-in-law about what was happening 'why would a kid take a stabbing for a stranger?? Who is this kid?? Where are his parents?? Will he be okay??' that was all that went through the man's mind with worry and curiosity.
