I guess that I eventually fell asleep because I woke to the sound of fire crackling. But why is it so cold?? I sat up quickly and then put on my gloves and lifted up my hood as I walked outside just to find Han kneeling down on a pad of fur in front of a fire. On top of the plate that he was holding over it were some eggs and meat. I coughed, and held my hand to my chest.
Ouch.
That hurt.
"You k?" Han asked, looking up at me and then back down at the food.
"Yes." I croaked. What is wrong with me?
"Leia?" He looked quizzically at me.
"I'm fine." I coughed.
"Listen Your Worship. I don't want you coughing all over my food." He said, passing me a plate.
"It looks delicious." I took a big whiff. I can't smell anything! "But I can't smell it."
Han shook his head. "Stop playing games and eat your food."
I nodded my head, not wanting to disturb Han. After I finished eating my food, I stood up and went to go hand my plate to Han to wash when I felt light-headed and I started to sweat really badly. My hands started to shake and so did my legs.
"Leia??" Han asked, standing up and reaching towards me. The last thing I heard before I passed out was, "LEIA!!!!"
I groaned and moved my head from side to side before opening up my eyes. "LEIA! Thank god." He said, and I realized that my jacket was off and laying down next to me on the floor. I looked down and my shirt was completely wet. My boots were off and I was only wearing socks.
"Han…" I croaked, reaching up and grabbing a fistful of his shirt. "What happened?"
"You're sweating worse then Vader in his damn suit Princess!"
I feel like I'm dying.
I looked up at Han and slightly smiled at him.
He's really handsome.
But you don't like him Leia! You don't like him!!! He's a scoundrel! You DON'T LIKE THIS MAN!
But I feel like I'm literally dying!
If I do die, I have to tell him that I do like him. I have to tell him.
"I lov-" I started, but then felt my eyes turn heavy as my eyelids drooped down over my vision and I felt my head land on the cold ground.
I coughed myself awake and instantly felt hotter.
"What's happening to me???" I asked myself, but someone answered, and it wasn't the voice in my head.
"You have pneumonia." I turned to find Han's sad face looking at me.
"What?" I croaked.
"You have pneumonia!!!" He screamed, getting annoyed at me.
I automatically started to cry.
I don't know why.
"Your Worship!!!!" He screamed. "GET BETTER!!! STOP BEING SICK!!!" He yelled at me.
"Can't you just….UGH!!!" I moaned, and then leaned my head up against the ice wall, breathing heavily. My breathing was ragged and fast. I felt as though my lungs were closed up. "Hhaannn…." I managed through breathes.
"WHAT??"
"Help me!" I croaked, and then started to sputter for air. I put my hand to my chest and tried to gain back my breath.
"I'll call for Reeikan again."
"Again?" I asked, slowly gaining my breath back.
"Yeah….I attempted to contact him before."
"Why?"
"Because I was worried about you-and I stuck out here this long."
"Oh." I replied, and then realized that my voice actually had some slight depression in it.
"I'm gonna go outside. And please Your Highnessess, DON'T pass out again. And don't not breath or anything." He shook his head and then went outside.
I could faintly hear him talking to Reeikan.
"4 DAYS???? WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? LISTEN BUDDY, YOU BETTER GET US A SHIP DOWN HERE PRONTO. WHAT??? THEN FIX THE DAMN THING CAUSE YOUR PRINCESS HERE IS GETTING DEATHLY SICK!!!!"
I smiled and blocked out the rest of the conversation. I pulled on my parka and whipped away the sweat on my forehead before laying down on my side.
"OW!" I screamed, and looked at what I laid on.
It was that necklace. I took it in my hands and clenched it in my fist before laying down and falling asleep.
