Disclaimer Nope I don't own Star Wars. I own Kelsey and her family.
Chapter 11
Kelsey
"What? How?"
"I can feel it," Luke replied.
I looked over at Yoda who had a strange look on his face.
"Luke there's no way. How do we even know where they are?" I asked, franticly.
"I saw...saw a city of clouds," he replied.
City of clouds? Could Luke mean Bespin? The Cloud City? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Friends you have there hmm," Yoda said.
I looked over at Luke. Surely Han and Leia couldn't go there. I didn't think they would travel that far away from the rebel alliance.
"They were in pain," he said.
"No that can't be," I said. "That's impossible."
"It is the future you see."
I hope that wasn't true. I pray that they were safe somewhere. This had to be a mistake. It's just has to be.
"Will they die?" Luke asked.
"Difficult to see. Always to see in motion is the future," Yoda said.
Nope. Not good at all.
Luke then turned towards me. We both had that same feeling.
We needed to leave and help them.
"You can't go," Luke said to me as if he was reading my thoughts.
"Oh yes I am," I said, walking away.
"Kelsey..."
"May I remind you I rode in the same jet as you and mine are in bits and pieces back in Hoth? I'm going with you," I said.
"I refuse to have you in danger, especially Vader will be sensing you and want to..."
"Han is my brother and Leia is my friend also. I refuse to sit aside and let them get hurt or worse, die if I don't do anything to help," I said, turning to face him.
"But what if Vader does something to you?" he asked.
I pursed my lips together as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"He won't do anything to me," I said.
"And how can you be so sure?" Luke asked. "He's dangerous and far powerful than you can imagine. I won't forgive myself if you get killed."
What amazed me was he didn't use the word 'hurt'. He was that concerned about me getting killed by Vader? I wasn't even training to be a jedi and yet I get the feeling Vader would know about me at some point.
"I'm going with you. You may not like my choice but you're going to need my help in finding them on Bespin. I'm not changing my mind on this," I said.
I could tell Luke didn't like this but at this point, it's do or die.
"I'm not letting you out of my sight," he said.
"Fine," I said, turning back and packing up our campsite.
-LINE BREAK-
It started to become dark by the time we got everything packed away. Luke had put on his pilot's uniform and I was checking over everything. I could tell right away Yoda wasn't beyond thrilled we were leaving so soon.
I set my hair up in a messy braid, not giving an ounce of care on how I look at this point.
"Luke! You must complete your training!" Yoda said in a displeased tone.
"I can't get that vision out of my head. I have to go," Luke argued.
"You must not go."
"They'll die if I don't help them."
"Are we really going to have an argument on why we have to go?" I asked, as I head over towards the ship.
I started to climb up the ladder when I heard another voice.
"You don't know that."
"But I can help them. I can feel the force," Luke said.
"But you cannot control it," Ben's voice said, appearing in front of us.
I couldn't help but get that feeling too. Only this time, it's far worse. I bit my lip hard to prevent any noise from coming out. I clenched my fists, feeling my nails dig into my skin. This wasn't happening and I still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, yes! The cave! Have you not forgotten about the cave?" Yoda asked.
I slowly sat down in my seat. I continued to watch on in silence as I felt a cold shiver go through my body.
"As for you young Solo," Yoda said. "The past you've learned so far has more to come for you."
All I could do was muster a nod. I didn't know what else to say.
"But I've learned so much since then. Master Yoda, I promised to return and complete my training I promise," Luke said.
I raised my eyebrows at that statement. And when was he planning on coming back here? Who knows how long it would be before he comes back here providing how this would turn out.
"It's you and your abilities that the Emperor wants. That is why your friends are made to suffer," Ben said.
"And Kelsey too? She now has to suffer as well?" Luke said in a defending tone. "I won't stand by and let her and my friends die. This is why I have to go."
"Luke I won't loose you to the Emperor the way I lost Vader," Ben said.
"And you won't."
"I hope you know what you're doing," I said.
"Kelsey..."
"I do have faith in you believe me. I want you to face him with caution. I'm scared of losing my brother and Leia. I don't want to loose you either," I confessed.
I guess I surprised him with that. While I may know he won't change his mind, at least he has to know what I've been saying.
"Artoo, fire up the converters," Luke said, as he finally climbed in.
I looked out the window and saw Ben's ghost and Yoda with worried looks on their faces. I took a deep breath as I leaned back against the seat.
"Luke! Don't give in to hate that leads to the dark side!" Ben said, holding up his hands.
"Strong is Vader. Mind what you have learned; save it you can," Yoda warned.
"I will and I'll return. I promise," Luke said.
The engine roared to life as the cockpit closed on us. The ship lifted from the ground and we soon were flying off the planet. I saw out of the corner of my eye that we were going farther away.
"Luke I hope you have some sort of plan for this," I said.
"We'll figure it out when we get there," he said. "When we get there, you're staying by me for the time being."
After that, we both remained silent for the rest of the ride.
A/n Um yeah, I'm at a lost for words which is shocking.
Okay so next chapter a lot will happen, especially with our two love birds and something does happen to them. Will it be a good thing? I sure hope so myself.
Thank you guys for your support! Any reviews, follows, favorites is forever appreciated! I do hope to update next week now that I'm done with school.
Until next week,
Spike
