Okay, part four.
---Chapter 4---
---2 months after the events of chpt. 3---
Mara watched him sleep. The slow raise and fall of his chest kept her eyes glued as if she were in a trance. She watched him, he looked peaceful, serene and at ease. She felt a flutter in her heart as she watched. Never in her life had she felt this way. It was frightening and at the same time, exciting. The erge and will to kill him was slowly fading. Mara felt guilty for hurting him before. Guilty?
Luke turned over on the bunk and Mara was left lying there staring at his back. The muscles tensed and flexed on his bare back as he took each breath. She sighed and closed her eyes. Before she knew it she was fast asleep.
"Mara?"
Her head whipped around, and she saw Skywalker. He was standing before her, handsome as ever. His hair was tossled, he looked tired, drained and sad. He was in pain, Mara could see it in those amazing blue eyes of his. Taking a quick glance around she realized, she was on the Death Star.
"What Skywalker, what do you want?" she snapped.
"To tell you what really happened here." He stated.
Looking at his face, she realized he was serious. He was going to show her something. Show her how he'd killed her master and destroyed her life. How dare her enter her mind and---
"I didn't kill anyone," he declared. "Vader killed you master, I was so weak I couldn't have killed him if I wanted. He was using some sort of energy from his fingers. He was paralyzing me with pain. I couldn't move, I could hardly breath. In a final desperate moment I called out to Vader, my father, to save my life. I didn't think it would work, but he complied with my request and anguish. He picked up Palpatine and threw him over the railing and into the Death Star's core."
While he spoke, Mara saw the whole seen behind him, taking place as if it were happening right now, for the first time. She didn't want to believe him. She believed they were Jedi tricks. But in her heart, she saw it was true. Something about it told her it was true.
"I believe you, Skywalker," she stammered. "I believe you."
Mara awoke.
Leia sat alone in her suite. Nothing seemed to matter anymore, now that her brother was missing. She knew it was that vile woman, Mara Jade, who had escaped and kidnapped her brother. She missed Luke terribly and it had only been two months. She hadn't left her home since he had disappeared. She was depressed.
"Leia, c'mon sweetheart, you need to get out," Han pleaded.
But Leia remained in her suite, day after day. Only eating because she was pregnant. The children! Now that Luke was missing, there would be no one to train her children. Why oh why had that woman come into their lives! She ruined everything.
"No word on Luke yet?" Han asked the intelligence detective assigned to finding his brother in law.
"No general, the same answer I've had for that past 2 months." The officer said. "Commander Skywalker is gone, and probably never coming back."
Han rubbed his eyes. He knew the detective was probably right, but telling that to Leia was the hard part. As long as she kept forking out credits, the detective kept working. Han just didn't know if they could hold out much longer.
Luke awoke to see Mara strattling his chest. Her beautiful eyes staring at him with a different look than the previous ones she's given him. She looked happy to see him wake up. Was she coming around? Had the vision he's sent to her during her sleep worked?
"Good morning Luke," she said with a smile.
She used his first name. His heart began to race. She was coming on to him. He couldn't have asked for more. Could she possibly feel the same way for him as he did for her? It must have been true, because before he knew it, they were kissing passionately!
