So anyway, if you spot any errors please let me know, and if you like it, please review. As always, enjoy!


Leia shakes her head,"Luke, are implying that I have the force?"

"Yes, Leia," Luke's expression is serious,"I can sense it when people are force sensitive. I was never able to understand the feeling before I went to Dagobah, where I met Jedi master Yoda. He taught me how to understand that feeling, Leia I felt it coming from you last night."

"Can you feel it now?" Leia asks.

"No."

"Well then I don't have the force, Luke. You must have felt it coming from elsewhere."

"No, Leia you have to listen to me. Someone blocked anyone from feeling your force sensitivity. I don't know who did it or how they did it, you could be doing it yourself for all I know."

Leia's lips curled in as she looked down at her lap.

"Leia, you called to Han with the force last night," Luke said softly,"I sensed your fear and confusion, and decided to investigate. I felt Han's suffering, I know you did too. I heard you calling to him, with the force. Just like I did to you on Bespin, and you saved me."

"That was Han?" Leia looks back up at Luke, horrified.

Yes Leia hears Luke say, but his mouth remains still. She stares at him, her eyes wide. You can do it too, try, Luke urges.

Leia sighs as she reluctantly closes her eyes in concentration as she indifferently attempts to respond to Luke, Is it working? She opens her eyes, Luke's proud smirk is enough to tell her that to him, her response was audible. Leia frowns, and she could swear her heart skipped a beat right at that moment. This can't be possible, of all people how can she have the force?

"Leia, this is bizarre, I had at least some training before I could call to others, but you, you were able to respond so quickly. You should come back to Dagobah with me, so Yoda can train you too." Luke suggests in utter awe.

"No Luke, my first priority is to rescue Han. I think that it should be your's too." Leia quickly retorts, her breathing picking up.

"Oh no, of course it is. I mean after we rescue Han, of course."

"I'm sorry Luke, I'm going to have to decline," her voice squeaks slightly,"I don't want to be a jedi, and I doubt I even have enough force or whatever to be one."

"You don't have to become a jedi, it just might be nice to understand the force. And of course your force sensitivity is strong enough."

"I'm sorry Luke, I don't want anything to do with the force." Leia stands up,"I have a briefing to attend, I will see you tonight. Make sure Chewie and Lando know we're coming at 1900." Leia turns away from Luke, only to quickly turn around again.

"Oh, and Luke, please don't tell anyone about… what we just spoke of." Her warm eyes filled with uncharacteristically, poorly masked anxiety.

"Don't worry, Leia, I wasn't planning on it." Luke gives her a weak, yet reassuring smile.

She attempts to return a smile, but still looks sad,"Thank you Luke." With that she turns around, and heads towards the closest exit of the mess hall. The only way Luke is able to pick out Leia from the rest of the hungry Rebels is her regal stride and short stature.


Leia enters her nearly closet sized personal quarters. She falls onto her cot and stares at the metal ceiling, her breath picking up rapidly. Leia doesn't have a briefing, or at least not for a few hours. She just needs some alone time.

Leia stares blankly at the ceiling. Her body trembles slightly. She can't believe she has the force. She can't believe that she hadn't found out earlier. Now that Leia thought of it, it made so much sense, her weird feelings, and instincts.

She possesses the same mystical power as Luke. She possesses the same dark power as Darth Vader. Leia's eyes quickly scan the room, as if searching for something; something that wasn't there. Leia's mind quickly comes back to Darth Vader… A sad excuse of a living thing, one that has less morals than a simple droid.

Leia has seen and even experienced the disturbing, unspeakable acts Darth Vader has fulfilled using the force. I have the ability to do what Darth Vader does… Leia made sure that no one, especially Luke can hear her thoughts. Leia's thoughts disgusted her, using her powers in the same manner as Darth Vader, against the innocent. But then, it dawned on her, She could use her powers against Darth Vader himself. These dark, malicious thoughts bounced throughout Leia's mind relentlessly; she couldn't help it, Leia needed to kill Darth Vader.
