NOTES: This is my first time posting any of my fanfiction, and I am definitely a little skeptical about it... please review, constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated. Also, I know this is really short... But anyway, thank you for reading and enjoy!
UPDATE: Thanks to "Rennwood Pheonix" for pointing out that I had a grammatical tense issue. I corrected my mistake to the best of my ability, to hopefully give you the best reading experience possible. I will also pay closer attention to this subject in later chapters and stories, as I actually have a history of being kind of negligent when it comes to tenses. I also rephrased a few sentences, hopefully for the better. Anyway, thank you again Rennwood Phoenix, I am very thankful for your help (:
Leia can't help but flinch as she not only sees, but also feels and hears Han's carbonite encased body thud to the floor. She buries her face into Chewie's hair, seeking comfort, but is completely dumbfounded once she finds that it doesn't change her current feelings whatsoever. Leia felt numb, but somehow she simultaneously is able to feel an intense and quite familiar pain. She is in shock.
Leia felt as if the voices speaking around her are in a language she was just beginning to learn, although she knows for certain they are speaking basic, her first and native language. She knows it is obvious that they are discussing the condition in which Han now is. But nothing that they said matters to her, Leia knows Han is alive and well, for the most part at least. She has always been able to do things like that, just know things for certain, sense things that others couldn't.
Leia knows she should, or could at least feel a little bit better that Han is alive, and there is a chance of getting him out of this mess, but she knows better. She is aware of how situations like this tend to work out. After all the things she has seen, it would be a wonder that Leia didn't feel this inevitable feeling of doom for Han that she does.
Leia hadn't yet had the chance to actually grasp the situation yet. She'd usually be coming up with a plan to fix what had happened by now, but her mind is clouded. She can't think straight. Leia had a feeling something would go terribly wrong when the Millennium Falcon first entered Bespin's atmosphere, but Han being frozen in carbonite had never even occurred to her, for force's sake she didn't even know freezing an organism in carbonite and them surviving could even happen. But really that's the catch, isn't it? If Leia knew every detail about every little bad that was bound to happen involving anyone she was close to, she'd prevent it with all she had. But now Han is being shipped off to Jabba the Hutt. Suddenly, Leia is finally coming to realization that she could at least attempt to save Han as a feeling of hope overcame the fear that controlled her mind before.
"Princess, the odds of Captain Solo surviving-" C-3PO begins.
Leia groans and cuts C-3PO off,"3PO, I don't care about what you think the odds of Han surviving are. I know that Chewie and I will find him, I'm sure after Luke recovers he, and even Lando will help us. There's no doubt that we will find Han and when we do, he will be fine." Leia states, anger present in her voice. She stomps away, concealing how nervous she actually feels, was her statement actually true?
