This is something I wrote like six years ago. If you hate it, I don't care. I don't own Star Wars. Only Lana, Michael, and this storyline.
Kara Metallium
Part 9
Lana awoke with Michael staring her in the face.
Mom, can I apply to the Jedi Academy?
she said sitting straight up. She thought back to her conversation with Luke.
she said.
Wow, thanks Mom! I love you! and he hugged her.
Your welcome. Now, what's for breakfast?
***
Lana was talking with the gate keeper of her holocron. Discussing the subject of controlling both the dark and the light. As the door chimed, she quickly turned it off and answered the door.
Oh, hi Luke.
I want to talk about Michael's application to the Academy, said Luke stepping in.
said Lana. Let me put the holocron away.
As she walked out of the room, Luke followed her. He looked unconsciously toward the bed and then to Lana. Lana opened her strong box and put the holocron in it. As she did so, a picture fluttered out. Luke bent to retrieve it. It was of a man with Lana, his arm around her waist. Something was fairly familiar about him.
Who's this? Luke asked.
Oh, nobody, she said quickly,It doesn't matter anyway, it was a long time ago.
Then it hit Luke,This is Boba Fett, isn't it?
I said it doesn't matter, she said looking at Luke and snatching the picture from his hand.
Then why are you keeping the picture?
Why are you interrogating me? It's my picture, I'll do what I please with it.
Luke was jealous,Your still in love with him aren't you?
Luke, why?
Answer me.
She stared at him a moment and then walked to him. She pulled his face close to hers and kissed him forcefully.
Does that answer your question?
He stared at her for a moment.
and she started to walk out of the room. Luke grabbed her arm and pulled her to him and kissed her. He kissed her again. Lana tried to push him away, but his grip was too strong. He picked her up and carried her toward the bed. She tried to struggle, but it was useless. She called for her lightsaber, but he pushed away before it came close. He laid her on the bed, she tried to get up, she tried to run. She couldn't move. He called for her lightsaber, he switched it on and held it high above her in a striking pose. He plunged it down, down-
***
said Lana sitting up in bed. It had all been a dream, a horrible dream. Covered in cold sweat, she shivered, and got up to make a pot of tea.
***
Lana stayed up all night thinking about her horrible dream. Luke wasn't like that, Xizor was. But Xizor was dead, even though she hated him for so many things. She had actually liked him though, because she had seen a part of herself in him. Though, he hadn't really trusted anybody, only his HRD, Guri. She was glad of one thing he hadn't been, force sensitive, he would of been unstoppable.
What really had scared Lana about the dream, was that she had a picture just like the one Luke had seen in the dream. Tucked away in the bottom of the box, it was her only picture of Boba and her together. She was still in love with Boba Fett, if only she hadn't-
Oh, stop it!' she thought furiously to herself. You've got a Jedi Master that's practically ready to marry you. And your swooning over a man who hunts people for a living. Which is it? A bounty hunter or a Jedi Master?'
Unfortunately, she couldn't answer, because Luke walked into the room. She quickly shut the box.
Uh, hi Luke.
Hello, Lana. I've come to discuss Michael's academy application.
Sure, just let me put this box away.
She got up and walked into the other room, Luke followed her. Lana picked up the holocron and put it in the box. A picture fluttered over by Luke's feet. Boba's picture. Luke picked it up.
Who's this? Luke asked with interest.
Lana was mortified,Boba Fett.
Oh, I thought he looked familiar, and Luke handed her the picture.
So what about Michael's application? asked Lana walking back in to the other room.
I need to know who his father is.
Lana was startled and sat down in the chair. Luke sat down too.
Luke, I-I can't tell you.
Lana, I need to know.
She sighed and fished the image of Boba out of her mind, then she popped it into Luke's. He looked stunned, and then looked at her.
he exclaimed.
Yes, him. She got up and walked out of the room. She laid on her bed and called to her lightsaber. When it came she began adjusting the wiring inside. Finally, she gave up and hopped off the bed. She walked back in the living room and passed Luke. He looked like he was in a trance. She turned back and ran into her room. She gathered her belongs and put them in a pack. Her lightsaber in her hand, she walked back in the living room. She looked at Luke, she sighed. Walking over to him, she crouched down and gave him a long kiss. When she pulled away, his eyes were open. She got up and ran out the door. She heard footsteps after her and,Lana, wait!
She ran to a hanger and hid behind a ship. Luke found her and the chase was on. Why are you doing this?'
Luke, I love you. But I need to get away.'
Luke finally cornered her unfortunately.
Luke, please let me go.
Lana, why are you doing this?
I, uh, Luke, please don't ask me to.
Tell me.
This is my chance, a Jedi Master or a bounty hunter.' I'm not sure whether I love you, Luke.
Luke's face twisted with pain.
Lana was distressed, she didn't know what to do. She really wished she wasn't alive at that moment. Quickly, while Luke was looking away, she snatched her lightsaber from her belt. She placed it against her chest and prepared to push the button.
Luke looked up just in time, and he flung his hand up. It hit the lightsaber, which had been turned on at the blow. Instead of killing Lana, it had only slashed her sleeve. Lana dropped the lightsaber, backed up and turned to run, but slammed her head into an overhanging and fell to the ground, unconscious.
***
Luke saw Lana back up and turn to run, then slam into an overhanging. He sighed, picked Lana up, and carried her back to his apartment.
***
Lana awoke. She was lying on a bed that wasn't hers. She recognized that she was in Luke's apartments. Why he had brought her here, she didn't know. She saw her pack on the chair. Quietly, she got up and reached for the pack. She walked toward the window and opened it. As she put one leg out the window, an arm, Luke's, wrapped around her waist and pulled her back in. She tried to stand up. She fell, pulling Luke down with her. He landed on top of her. She tried to get, but Luke pinned her to the ground.
Luke let me go-
Why are you doing this?
Lana finally stopped struggling and looked at Luke.
First, let me up, Luke complied and Lana stood up and then sat down on the bed,I have to find my destiny, Luke, I have to find out who I really love.
Luke, sitting beside her, looked away. She lifted his chin toward her, It's not that I don't love you Luke. I just can't decide between you and Fett. I have to find him. I have to know if he holds, in his heart, any love left for me. If not, then I will come back to you, and stay with you until I die.
I'm coming with you, he said suddenly. Your not leaving my sight until I know you don't want me any more.
Luke, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Lana, I need you. Please try to understand.
Lana seemed to study Luke for a moment. All right, Luke. You can come with me.
***
Lana was lying on her bed when Luke came in.
Oh, hi Luke.
Lana, can R2 come with us?
Luke walked to the bed and sat down beside her. He stroked her hair,You know I love you.
Of course I do,said Lana as she sat up beside Luke. She cuddled up next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. Luke took her chin in his hand and pulled it close to his face. He kissed her passionately. As he pulled away, Lana threw her arms around him and hugged him. What am I doing?,' she thought. Do I really love this man?'
