Chapter 7

Kelsey

I felt like I was floating on air.

All I could hear were voices and sounds with every minute passing. I wanted to wake up and scream, talk, anything. But nothing can to avail.

When I did open my eyes, I saw that I was in a small room with a blanket halfway on me. I saw my shirt was half rip and part of a bandage was on my lower hip.

I'm freaking out. I want to know what happened and why.

I tried to get up once I opened my eyes. I was in a room that looked familiar to me. I hear voices still but I couldn't make it out clearly but as soon as I stood up, I fell back down on the makeshift bed since I felt dizzy and I wanted to vomit.

This place looked too familiar. I was so out of it.

What the hell is wrong with me?

I lied back down and groaned in pain. I closed my eyes, praying that the pain would go away.

Why? Why did this have to happen to me?

Then when I felt someone's hand hold on to mine, I feel calm yet I want to wake up. With every move I've made, I felt pain and it hurts so bad. I want it to end.

"You're safe," the man's voice said. "I promise no one is going to hurt you."

I wanted to say something; anything but nothing came. All I did was groan before I was out of it again.

Then, I was met with darkness once again.

-LINE BREAK-

Hoth-Echo Base

Han

I hate waiting.

But the worst thing was seeing Kelsey unconscious in Luke's arms when we all ran into the Falcon to escape. I heard the story on how she was the one that escaped when Chewie and I ran to look for her and fought off storm troopers. I never expect to see her get hurt.

I know Luke feels guilty that this happened but it wasn't his fault. She was unconscious but breathing and all that matter and here we all are, waiting for her to get checked out.

Chewie let out a moan as I got up from my spot.

"I know it feels like forever," I said softly.

"Han?"

I looked up and saw Leia and Luke heading towards us. "Any word?" Luke asked.

"No. Not yet," I replied. "How are you kid?"

"Alright but worried," he replied.

"Do you need anything?" Leia asked.

"I want to know what those bastards did to her," I replied. "I know that she escaped but how and what did they want?"

"I'm sorry," Leia said.

I could only nod. Luke and Leia hung around as we continued to wait. I know they mean well

It's my sister.

My sister.

How could she be the one to get hurt?

My thoughts were distracted when the doctor came out.

"Captain Solo," the doctor said.

"How is she?" I asked, bracing myself for anything.

"She's resting," he replied. "We managed to stitch up her leg and took care of the shot that she has on her right hip. It'll leave a scar but she will recover slowly."

I let out a sigh I didn't know I had.

"Though we did find something while we took her blood," he said.

"What is it?"

"They tried to drug her," he replied.

I stood there in shock as I looked over at Luke and Leia. Chewie let out a growl as Luke stood next to me.

Drug her? For what?

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"How can that be? She was still herself when I got her out of there," Luke said.

"It's a possibility that they only injected a small amount in her. If she were to have gotten a larger dose, she probably wouldn't have survived or have permanet damage. Given her condition, it's a miracle she is alive," the doctor said.

"What's going to happen now?" Leia asked.

"She'll remain in the medical center for a few days. If all is good then she will be released. Right now she's resting since we were able to get the drug out of her system she will be out of it for awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if she woke up tommorrow," he said.

"Can we see her?" I asked, finally finding my voice.

"You can but just for a bit," he replied.

He then led us to her room. The four of us stood outside after the doctor left.

"You two can go. We can see her tomorrow," Leia said. "We'll wait when she's well so we can ask what happened."

"Thank you. The both of you," I said, as Leia nodded at me.

Chewie and I went into her room and I took in the sight of her.

Kelsey was lying in the bed sleeping. An IV was hooked up to her left arm and she was wearing a grey robe with matching pants. Her hair was neatly done in a braid that was over her right shoulder. I could see a few scratch marks on her face and near her right elbow.

I sat next to her and held her hand while Chewie let out a sad moan and rubbed her hair carefully.

Oh kriff what have they done to her?

Even though they were dead, I still wanted to somehow rise them up from the dead and kill them both for what they did.

I saw her stir slightly as she tried to open her eyes.

"H-Han?" she said in a raspy tone.

"Hey sis you're alright. You're safe here," I said. "You need to rest."

"You didn't tell me this planet was so damn cold," she said, before she fell back asleep.

I chuckled lightly at that. At least she was conscious only for a second. We both stayed with her before we decided to get some rest for ourselves. I kissed her forehead slightly and Chewie patted her head softly before we left the room.

Chewie growled at me sadly as we left the medical center. The four of us left the medical center and we parted ways for the night. It was only me and Chewie as we headed down the hall. I looked up at him and he let out a sad bark and shook his head in shame.

"Boy you said it Chewie," I said. "Come on. Let's get some sleep or at least try to."

We both headed towards our rooms for the night. As I got ready for bed, a million thoughts were running through my head. Had I would've gotten Kelsey here earlier, she wouldn't have gotten stranded and caught.

I wondered what they did to her. Why her?

A million questions and no answers as I got in my bed for the night. For a long time, I tried to fall asleep but to no avail.

This was going to be a long night.

A/n So how was that for a twist?

Sorry this is late and a tad short. This chapter wasn't my best as I struggled with this for a bit and I had a belated holiday gathering with my friends so I wasn't able to update yesterday. I will be updating again Saturday so two updates in the same week?! Can't get any better can it?

We got more to come and to see what went down while she was held captive. Also, a meeting face to face, adjusting to life in the alliance, romance blossoming and missions for our heroes.

Okay I can't say no more so review on the way out! Thank you all for your support! It means so much!

Until next time,
Spike
