Thank those three of you who reviewed SO VERY MUCH! I love reviews! Here's
a chapter concerning Leia.
Leia Organa stared unseeing at the large window, her head rested on the cool, metal desktop. So much had happened in so little time. She thought back over the events of the past few years, all of her sorrows and triumphs. Leia stopped at one of the most recent events and one of the closest to her heart. Luke's disappearance. Luke Skywalker. Tatooine Farm boy. Jedi Knight. Brother. The last two still frightened Leia. From what she had heard about the Jedi of the Old Republic, they had had unbelievable power. She had seen Luke display some of this and new the tales were true. He, a beginner, had power enough to face off Darth Vader and the Emperor alone and live. He had lived, Leia knew. She did not know how, but Luke was alive. Everyone told her that he was gone, but Leia would not believe. Luke told that she had inherited some of the power that ran through his veins. Maybe this was its way of expressing itself. She could not count all of the premonitions she had had even before meeting Luke. She had always known things that she had know way of knowing. That was how she knew Luke was alive. Only one person believed her. Han. Leia's mind was instantly distracted at the mere thought of the cocky smuggler. She had always wondered what love was like. She had never come close to what is really was. Her one and only was not a princess's typical knight in shining armor. He could do many more daring deeds on his steed, the Millennium Falcon then most, but his tricks were not always something a princess would condone. Despite all of his faults, he was just right for her. Leia switched her thought train right there. She could day dream about Han later, right now she should be worrying about Luke. Han and Chewie were the only ones who knew about her family ties with Luke, she had not had the nerve to tell anyone else, fearing they would not believe here. She had no prove, only Luke's word and an indescribable feeling. So she was the one who had to figure out where Luke was. Right now she was considering three options. One, Luke had escaped but was stranded on Endor or another planet without communication. This however, was unlikely because there was the problem of the origin of the ship Luke would have used to get away from the Death Star and the likely hood that he could not find anyway to contact them, with the high military codes he possessed. Two, Luke had joined the dark side and there was now a third dark lord. Leia shivered at the thought. Fortunately, this was also unlikely. With Luke's knowledge of the Rebellion, they would have noticed a change in Imperial tactics and Leia felt that she would have sensed Luke's turning also. Third, Luke was being held captive. If he was captive then Leia's two best guesses to where he was being held was either a little known planet where they could hide him away or he was being held on Coruscant, where the Emperor could keep a very close eye on the last of the Jedi. It was these last options that Leia thought the most likely. The problem was doing something about it. If Luke was on an out-of-the-way world, there was little that she could do, other than pull a few strings with the people she knew on out-of-the-way worlds and put them on the lookout. If he was on Coruscant, well, there was not anything she could do until she had proof that he was there. It was too risky to send a team in to get him if it turned out he was not there. There was nothing she could do, she would have to wait for a sign.
