Ezra POV
The person who had just taken off his hood, didn't even look at me. Only stared with beaten down eyes at his feet.
Or rather HER feet.
"Maia, how could you?" I whispered. Broken. Betrayed by one of my best friends.
"Ez, I ..." she began, but she was stopped by the Inquisitor.
"How? Well boy, allow me to explain. "
"Our friend here was arrested at Lothal and I think you are familiar with the further course. Only we also test since a year on Force-sensitive." (Remember when Ezra explained what happened when they captured a street-rat??)
That still was not a surprise for me. I also knew that Maia was Force-sensitive, like her brother.
"Her barriers were very weak and I could easily search through her entire memory. Where a boy appeared with raven hair with a blue tint, found I really interesting. Do you recognize him?" He asked mockingly.
"And of course the other guy." He added to it. But there was less interest in his voice.
I listened, it was all I could do. The Inquisitor put his hands on Maia her shoulders and she glance down her eyes again.
"We discovered that her brother was looking for her and then we set up everything. The reunion of brother and sister, her capture and of course the cell data. I also know you have the habit of escaping so we put an extra trap. Of course you would immediately suspicious Dai and you would rescue Maia first. "
"Why?" I whispered to her.
When she looked at me I saw tears in her eyes. Did she regret it?
"And now padawan, it's time you join me. To the dark side. "
"Forget it."
The Inquisitor stretched out his hand and a sharp pain shot through my head. Immediately I put my barriers around my mind. "You can fight all you want, padawan, eventually everyone breaks."
He stepped closer and I closed my eyes. The pain was terrible.
Just hold on to when Kanan comes. I tried to set up my courage. Kanan will come.
"Ah. Do you really think that they will come, those rebels friends of yours. They don't love you, they just use you for your skill. Nothing more."
"No! Lies!" I yelled.
"You consider them as your family while they don't even considered you as a friend."
"Shut up!"
"And your master what will he be disappointed. I can't believe he hasn't dumped you yet. "
I bit my lip and tasted the iron taste of blood.
"It wouldn't be the first time. Isn't it padawan? "
I opened my eyes. What was he talking about. I thought through the pain.
"Those parents from you. After they left there was no one who helped you. You were alone on the street. Dumped."
He had found my weak point. "Shut up!"
I could feel the anger rising again. The hate.
"They also didn't love you. They just left. And you just tell yourself that the empire has taken them. You see how well everything can be set up. "
"No!"
I let it go. My chain broke and the Inquisitor flew backwards.
Inquisitor POV
"No!" the boy cried out. The hole time I had felt his anger, his hatred grow, but now he let it go. Just like at the asteroid. Unfortunately, he then turned it against me.
His chains were there to stop him but they just broke and I was pushed back against the wall.
The boy began to strangle me. At first I could still laugh, pleased. But then I realized that he meant it. He strangled me and I could breathe increasingly difficult. Again he turned against me.
On his face appeared a satisfied grin. My throat was even more pinched.
Then someone came in and hit the boy down.
I fell to the ground and the other boy who had just came in, came to me.
The padawan will join us. He had great potential where my master will be happy with.
I was right. "Tie him back up to the wall." I said to the two children.
"Master, the chains are broken." Said the girl with her head bowed.
Once the boy had joined me, I had to kill her. Maybe she did everything I asked, because she did not have much of a choice, but she wasn't loyal to me and the dark side.
I had to kill her before she would betray me. But for now I could use some help with the boy's master.
"Then take him to another cell. The transport should be here soon. "
They both nodded and then I left the cell.
Then I felt it. We had company.
Kanan POV
We all were in position to execute our plan.
Sabine was in the ventilation shaft. Ready to look at Ezra's cell number once Zeb and I had caused the distraction. Hera was ready in the Phantom to get us out as quickly as possible as soon we got him.
This could better go well.
Andso Zeb and I began with the distraction and led all the troopers away fromSabine.
