Nightmares

"No!" Leia's eyes shot open as she stifled a scream.

It was that dream- well, nightmare really, again. Every night since she had been tortured on the Death Star, the memories, the pain, all came back to her.

Every little detail.

Leia moaned. She really needed to get some uninterrupted sleep. Closing her eyes again, she tried to forget all that she had dreamt.

To no avail. Once again she saw a flash of green light head towards her planet, and once again she watched Alderaan explode into tiny pieces, millions of innocent people die.

She gasped for air as for the second time in less than a minute her eyes widened. She was going to be sick.

After a quick dash for the 'fresher, she threw up violently in the sink.

When she was done, she sunk to her knees and wept.

..........

Han woke up in a panic. He didn't know why, and to tell the truth, he didn't really want to know why.

After lying in silence for a few minutes, he decided to get up and start a bit of late night work on the hyperdrive. Maybe, just maybe, it would send him back to the blissful world of sleep.

When he opened the door of his cabin, he froze. He could hear someone. Drawing his blaster he snuck towards the direction the noise was coming from.

He didn't think it could be Leia. What would she be doing up at this hour? She was probably getting her royal beauty sleep. If she wasn't trying to think up a plot to hurt him for what he had said.

Han just hoped that she hadn't taken it to heart.

He froze again. There was a light on in the 'fresher and the sound he had heard, was crying.

Okay, so maybe it was Leia.

Holstering his blaster he peaked in the door which had been left ajar.

..........

Leia heard Han at the door. She tried to stop crying and put on her Princess-I'm-not-scared-of-anything face. Didn't work.

She didn't want Solo to see her like this.She really didn't want him to see her like this.

The door opened and Han crouched down beside her.

"Why are you crying?" There was real concern in his voice.

Leia only just managed to choke out two words. "Go away!"

Han looked hurt, but he wasn't going to give in that easily. "If this is about what I said, you should know that I didn't mean a word of it. I've told a lot of lies in my time, but that was the biggest."

"It's none of your business. How many times to I have to tell you to go away?"

Han picked her up and cradled her, almost as if she were a baby. She squirmed a little at first, but soon found she had no more energy. Giving up, she slumped back into his arms.

Han gave her a smile and said, "You're ordering me away from my own ship? That can't be right. And listen Sweetheart, while you are on my ship you are my passenger. Therefore, I am going to make whatever you're bawling your eyes out over my business!"

Leia blushed. "I had a nightmare. Happy now?"

He lowered her down into a seat, switched on a light and started pulling stuff out of cupboards. Finally he pulled out a spare blanket and wrapped it round her muttering, "Can't have you being sick again, can we? Rieekan would have my head if anything happened to you. And no, it must have been a pretty bad nightmare to make you react like that, so tell me what it was about."

This was a fight Leia could see she wasn't going to win, but that wasn't going to stop her from trying.

"No. I don't want to talk about it. Besides, I have it all the time."

"Leia, tell me what it was about. If it had anything to do with what I sai-"

Leia cut him off. "You were right. Don't look so guilty. You're the only person who has told me the truth so far, and I should thank you for being so honest."

She had stopped crying a few minutes ago, but she looked ready to start again.

"What!?!? That's Bantha-dung! Listen to me Your Highnessness, half the stuff I say isn't true! What I said about you and Alderaan was in that half!"

"And what you just said now, what half was that in?"

Han grinned. "That was in the half which I do mean. Now are you gonna tell me about this nightmare or not?"

Leia stared at her knees and whispered, "It was about what happened on the Death Star. Do you want me to go on?" She looked up.

Han nodded. He felt his face pale.

This was going to be a horrible story.

A.N. This was only meant to be part of a chapter, but I reckon that the Tortures of the Death Star can be put in a chapter by itself. Please Review!
