"Stop!" an imperial officer steps in front of us. "Hold it right there. You heard Lord Vader. To his ship." He grabs me by both arms, and I try to break free, but fail. I'm still too much in shock and agony to move.
"Let go of her!!!" Chewie barks at him, but several stormtroopers come over and push Lando right next to Chewie.
"Let's go." They said, pushing us in the back with their guns. We walked down a hallway and all of a sudden the imperial officer runs up to me and grabs me by the shoulders as if to protect me. The stormtroopers start to fire. I try to see who they're firing at, and then I see it.
Luke.
"LUKE! Luke, don't- it's a trap! IT'S A TRAP!!!" I scream right before the officer drags me through the door into another corridor.
Just try to forget about Luke. He'll be okay. He's really clever, and heroic. Han was heroic. Oh goddess Leia! Stop thinking about Han! Then all of a sudden, we stop. The guards immediately aim their weapons at the startled stormtroopers. The guards (I'm guessing that they were Lando's) walked up and took their weapons from them, giving one to Lando and one to me. What's going on?
"Well done. Hold them in the security tower- and keep it quiet. Move." He whispers to one of the guards and then the stormtroopers walk away. I stare at Lando in disbelief.
"What do you think you're doing?" I ask as he starts to undo Chewie's binders.
"We're getting out of here."
"I knew all along it had to be a mistake." 3PO says, but no one listens.
As soon as Lando undoes the binders, Chewie immediately turns on him and starts to choke him.
"Do you think that after what you did to Han we're going to trust you??" I practically scream at him.
"You traitor! You've taken everything away from Leia, and now you take away Han too!?!!" He screams. I almost stopped and stared at Chewie. He really did take to Han's request to look after me.
Lando tries to free himself from Chewie's grip, but fails. "I had no choice…"
"You had every choice in the world!!!!"
"What are you doing? Trust him trust him!!" 3PO screams at the giant wookie.
"Oh, so we understand, don't we Chewie? He had no choice."
"I'm just trying to help…"
"We don't need any of your help."
"H-a-a-a…." He chokes.
"What?"
"It sounds like Han." 3PO chimes in.
"There's still a chance to save Han…I mean, at the East Platform…"
Still a chance? Still a chance to save Han?? "Chewie!" I scream at him and he releases Lando, chasing after me down the hallway. 3PO said something to Lando, but I didn't hear. They're still is a chance to get Han back. I ran down the corridors as fast as I could, absentmindedly shooting stormtroopers that came in my way. We picked up Artoo somewhere along the way, but I didn't really care. Han. He was all that I really cared about.
Here we are!
The East Platform!
I ran out to see Boba Fett's ship take off.
No.
Han.
He's gone!
NO!
Chewie sees my hurt expression and says, "Cub!! Leia. It's going to be okay…"
I knew it wasn't.
I knew.
If we never get Han back, it is never going to be okay.
Without him, my world will seem a bit less bright.
The world already feels a bit less bright.
Without him, my world will never be the same.
No, without him, my world will seem dark.
I feel sort of….missing….without Han in my story anymore. Sorry it's so short. Okay. 2 questions for the sequel.
1) Should I continue adding Chapters to this story and have it include ROTJ or should I make it a completely new story.
2) Who's POV should it be in? Leia's or someone else's?
Thanks SOOO much!
You guys are the best!
xoxo,
Alexandra
