Disclaimer No I don't own Star Wars. I do own Kelsey and this is the actual Chapter 14 since for some reason I'd goofed up last chapter thinking that's Chapter 14 when it was Chapter 13. Whoops.
Chapter 14
Kelsey
Once we flew out of Hoth and into hyperspace, things slightly calmed down. I wounded up walking into one of the crew rooms just to take a moment for myself.
I stood in the room and looked around. The fact that I'm going on my first mission still seems surreal. While I was a bit nervous for it, I was also thrilled at the fact that I was to be part of something important. I sat down on the bed and all of a sudden, a flashback entered my mind.
I saw myself being carried into the room by someone. Luke perhaps? I couldn't make out who it was and they placed me slowly on the bed. The fact I was lying still scared me.
Then I started to moan and the person pushed my hair back as he placed something over my hip to stop the bleeding.
"You're going to be fine," a man's voice said. "You're safe."
"It hurts," I whimpered.
"I know," the man said, patching up my hip the best he could. "We got you. We're going to bring you back to base. You're going to be fine."
I snapped out of it and sat there in confusion.
What the hell?
No wonder I felt something weird when I came on here before.
But could it be that I was starting to remember what happened?
No way.
I was told I was drugged on Rishi but how could that be if I somehow saw myself being carried on to the Falcon if I was unconscious.
Maybe I should ask the guys?
No.
Another time. I wouldn't want them to be distracted by what happened before. This was the last thing we all need right now.
Chewie's growl interrupted my thoughts and I headed out of the room to see what was going on. I went and saw that Chewie was sitting at the table along with Han by the control panel and Luke standing.
"Did I miss something?" I asked, slowly as I looked at them.
Chewie growled lightly something at me and I almost let out a groan.
"Oh no why do you have to do that?" I said, winking at him.
"It was quite amusing actually hearing some stories you three had" Luke said.
"Well, I wouldn't go overboard on those stories too much," I replied, sitting next to Chewie. "Please tell me this oaf over there haven't been embarrassing me with stories."
"Now why in the world would I do that?" Han asked in a mocked tone.
"Do I need to tell Luke what happened when you almost got us blown to bits when leaving the Hosain Prime?" I asked.
"Now that was one time and I got you all alive now didn't I?" Han said.
Chewie grumbled something at him.
"Yes I do, everytime," Han said pointing at Chewie.
I looked over at Luke and rolled my eyes. Oh Han, sometimes I wonder what goes on in your head. Then again, I don't want to know.
"How does it feel to be back on here?" Han asked.
"It was like I've never left this ship," I replied. "I'd missed being on it."
\
"Well..."
"What is it?" I asked both men.
"You were back on it," Luke replied carefully. "Only..."
"Oh, I see," I said.
I stared at both them as they gave me pity looks along with Chewie as well.
"Guys, don't give me that look. I'm just happy to be alive. I just wish I knew what happened prior to before I was out of it," I said.
"We will," Luke said.
"Love that optimism," I mumbled. Quickly changing the subject; I asked, "So did Leia mentioned what kind of supplies were missing?"
"She said that it was just some weapon supplies and there was something that was supposed to be delivered to you for the ship," Luke replied.
"That got lost too?"
Oh. Great.
"Don't worry sis. We'll find them," Han said.
If only I could believe was something I needed to hopefully help with the Y-Wing I've been stuck working on. Before anything else can be said, a couple beeps came from the cockpit. Han jumped out of his spot from the chair and I followed him.
"What is it?"
"We're coming out of hyperspace," Han replied, hitting a few buttons.
"We're here?"
"We are," he confirmed as we pulled up from hyperspace and in front of a huge green planet.
-LINE BREAK-
"This is it?" I asked, looking out and all I saw was green.
"Yep," Han replied.
"So what do we do now?"
"We go and try to find the missing supplies," I replied.
"But where are we supposed to start?" Luke asked.
"Let's try to land this thing before we get caught," Han replied, hitting a few buttons.
We entered the planet and Han slowly but surely; as I use the word slowly ever so lightly; made it's way towards the southeast end of the planet. By the time we landed, thankfully ever no causing a huge scene, we were ready to head off. After grabbing our weapons and water with some food just in case, we all left the Falcon.
We stepped outside of the Falcon into the heat. This was definitely a huge change from Hoth. There was different color plants and the sky was blue as ever.
However, something was way off. I looked around and there was this feeling that wasn't going away.
"Kelsey, are you alright?" Luke asked.
"Something's not right," I replied, still looking around. "I don't know. Something is off."
"Don't get all too crazy. It's not like the Imperial army would be here," Han said. "Would they?"
Chewie barked a few things as I held on to my blaster while I continued to look around.
"Come on, let's get going," Han said softly as he and Chewie led the four of us.
I started to follow when Luke's hand went on to my upper arm lightly. That warm spark came back. Did he felt the same thing also.
Oh for kriff's sake not this nonsense again.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.
"Yeah," I replied. "Just..."
"I know and nothing will happen to you," Luke assured me.
I could hope and believe that. I mean, I don't have that much of a choice did I?
I only gave a half of a smile as we jogged to catch up with my brother and Chewie.
-LINE BREAK-
The walk towards the missing supplies was long. Not to mention, the heat was bearing on us didn't help much either.
Thank goodness I didn't wear a long sleeve shirt and we had water.
We kept going as I carefully looked around. It was too quiet and I didn't see any human life form around as far as to my knowledge.
I almost ran into Chewie's back when everyone stopped short.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Here it is," Luke replied.
I peaked over Chewie's shoulder and sure enough there was the old U-Wing that crashed and the ship looked almost destroyed.
"We were too late," I said softly. Chewie growled softly in agreement.
I walked over to the ship and saw that the crates were there but I didn't see anyone in here. My guess was that either they were killed on impact or tried to survive the best they could.
Just as I was about to say something, I felt myself tense up. I looked around and this feeling wasn't going away. I looked up at the three of them and I remained frozen as I stared ahead then I focused on the guys.
"We need to get these and go," I said, looking up at them.
"What? Why?" Luke asked.
"Kelsey what's going on? Did you see something?" Han asked.
"I don't know about you but something's about to happen. I can feel..."
"What are you four doing here?"
We spun around and saw a man standing there with what it looked like a spear. Chewie had his crossbow out along with Han holding his blaster. I remained frozen in my spot as Luke slowly came near me with his weapon in one hand and pulled me up with the other, but didn't let go of my hand after I stood up straight.
While I was trying to remain calm, I was freaking out on the inside. I squeezed Luke's hand tight as we still remained face to face with the stranger in front of us. I didn't know whether or not we would be fighting to survive or somehow manage to get talked out of this situation.
Though I was lucky to have my blaster, I would hope that would be the case of luck or something.
Either outcome, I wasn't sure what to expect.
A/n Not my very best. This week was beyond hectic since I'd barely sat down to write since Monday. At least this is going in the decent direction.
Anyways, enough of my RL problems, I do hope you like it. Next chapter, I got something planned and hopefully you won't all kill me for it. *hides behind pillow*
Thank you for the love! I know some of you are lurking and it's okay to drop a review on the way out. I don't bite ). For those who have followed me so far on this journey forever grateful to you all.
See you guys next week!
