Leia fought to adjust her eyesight, blurry but returning. She could make out the silhouette of Boba Fett standing above her. She let out a yelp of surprise as he forcefully grabbed her upper arm.
"Hey, what's going on? Let her go!" Han stumbled to his feet, taking a valiant swing but only hitting air. Damned eyes! Focus! He couldn't see what was happening but what he heard next chilled him to the bone.
"I've come for my bonus here Solo, she's my…. treat" Millions of thoughts raced through Han's mind - horrible thoughts of the disgusting stories he'd heard about bounty hunters and their "reward" women. Hell if he'd let that happen to Leia. Han lunged with a cry of rage, but Boba was quick and dodged aside. Han faltered for a moment, his strength low. Seeing his chance, Boba shoved Han down with his boot. He slid and hit the wall. When he tried to get up again, they were gone. He was alone, and felt more helpless than ever before. He'd failed her.
Large gloved hands gripped Leia's upper arm as she struggled against her captor. She was led past Jabba's entertainment lair, images of women being degraded and used as play things or for mere "eye candy" flew by as she walked on. What would she be made to do? She shuddered at the thoughts. Her fate seemed uncertain, but it wasn't looking good.
"And where exactly do you think are you taking me?" she questioned, with as much courage and authority she could muster. Surprisingly she sounded her usual assured self. Many years of practice paid off. Boba just turned his head, stared at her for a moment, and then quickened his pace. Soon they were at the docking bay, and she spotted a ship she assumed to be his.
Pile of junk, worse than the Millenium Falcon seemed to me at first. The passing thought sent a pang of hurt through her stomach. Han. He was still trapped there, who knew his fate. He would be terminated for sure. She cursed the entire situation. If only she hadn't acted on a whim, she would be safe with every one else, and in a much better position to save Han.
She was led up into the ship and strapped into the passenger seat of the small ship. As Boba prepared to take off, Leia squeezed her eyes shut with much fear clouding her mind.
