Disclaimer Nope. Don't own Star Wars. Not even close. I do own Kelsey. That's all.
RIP Carrie Fisher. Thank you for bringing Princess Leia to life and for all that you've done over the years. My heart is broken and my prayers go out to her family, friends and the cast of Star Wars.
Also RIP to her mother Debbie Reynolds. To loose two people within a day of one another, I can only imagine how Billie is feeling. Sending love to her during this time as well.
Chapter 5
Han
The three of us somehow found a way to get into the station. I had my blaster out ready for anything as the same for Luke and Chewie. We approached one of the doors carefully should someone jump out of nowhere.
The door slid open; revealing a stormtrooper and right away, I shot him and he flew back, hitting the wall and falling to the floor dead.
"That was too easy," I said, as we walked in with Chewie growling in agreement.
"Now where to?" Luke asked.
"If only we knew this place backwards and we had the driod with us," I replied, looking around.
Chewie growled something at me as I shook my head.
"Split up? You honestly think that would help?" I asked.
Chewie groaned as we headed down the hallway. There was no one around and we've ducked behind walls a few times whenever a stormtrooper came around. The three of us stopped in front the elevator.
"Should we go from floor to floor to see?" Luke asked.
"From the looks from the outside, this place has six floors and the prison cell would have to be on the fourth or fifth," I replied.
Before another word was said, a loud alarm started to go off. Luke and I looked at one another in horror.
Why do I have a feeling my sister had something to do with this?
"We need to find her now," I said.
"Wait, where you going?" Luke asked. .
"To find my sister," I replied. "We'll have to split up. When you find her, bring her back to the Falcon if we don't make it back."
"But-"
"I trust you kid," I replied.
I took off running with Chewie following me before Luke had the chance to say anything.
We're getting her back.

I sat on the bench wringing my hands. In a few moments, supposedly I'm going to be being back into that room to be tortured and if they couldn't get anything out of me, I'm done for.
I noticed before one of my hair pins that was lying on the floor and I picked it up and held it in my hand. I studied it for a minute while forming a plan in my head.
The question is can it work?
All too soon the door to my cell opened and I hid the pin in my hand. I sat up straighter, my hands together on my lap. One of the troopers came and handcuffed me and pulled me out of my seat and led me out of the room.
As they escorted me to the room, my eyes darted around the hall to see if they paid attention to me which luckily they didn't.
Here goes nothing.
Quietly, I looked at the cuffs and saw the hole and placed the end of my pin in it. I struggled with it for awhile before I heard an unclick of the cuff on my left wrist. I then went to unlock the other cuff. When my wrists were free, I dropped the cuffs on to the ground and attacked a storm trooper.
Then things went crazy.
"Look out!"
I stole a blaster from the trooper and shot him dead. Chaos erupted as more guards ran over.
"Get her!"
"She's escaping!"
After firing more shots, I ran down the hall away from everyone. An alarm then went on alerting that I've escaped.
"Shit," I cursed underneath my breath.
I saw a door nearby and I ran in. Luckily it was an old control room that looked abandoned or something. I looked around quickly and ducked underneath a desk nearby. I was catching my breath as I sat there grasping at the fact that I've escaped.
I was about to make sure that the coast was clear when I heard the door open. I held the blaster in front of me as I covered my mouth to prevent any noise so I won't get caught.
I saw boots but they were a light tan color and whoever is was they walked slowly in the room.
Tan? What the hell?
As much as I wanted to know who it was, I couldn't take that chance. The footsteps stopped suddenly and my eyes went wide.
Please don't find me. Please don't find me I thought to myself.
The footsteps then turned away and walked out of the room. Before the door closed, I somehow peeked out from my hiding spot and spotted the back of someone's blonde hair as the door shut completely.
Who was that man?
I can't worry about it now as much as I want to.
"That was too close," I said to myself as I pulled myself out from under the desk.
Walking out of the room, I decided to follow the person. I slowly walked behind him when I caught up with him so I wouldn't get caught. I could see that he was wearing a white jacket with grey pants and those boots. He didn't look like he belonged here for sure. Then two storm troopers came around.
"Look out!" I cried out.
The man then started shooting at them as I did the same. By the time it was over, I ran around the corner fearing that I would get caught.
As I ran, I heard the man call out before I was all the way at the end of the hallway.
-LINE BREAK-
"She couldn't have gone that far."
"You don't know that. If Lord Vader finds out about this, we're dead for sure."
"Not if I had anything to do with it."
"Sir, we just got word that we have three more invaders in here."
"Put this place on lock down. No one goes in or out. I want the girl brought back and alive."
"Yes sir."
Peaking out from my spot, I spotted the Admiral and Commander parting ways in different directions after that small talk. If they want to find me good luck with that.
I kept running.
I didn't know where I was going but I kept running.
I made a turn around the corner and sure enough there were a few more storm troopers.
"There she is!"
Oh crap.
My body was on a huge adrenaline rush as I kept running. I heard light shards from the glass breaking from the shots being fired. I felt something on my right thigh as they were shooting at me and I gritted my teeth together trying not to cry out in pain.
Whatever I ran into, I'll deal with later.
I immediately started firing at them and ran. I heard a few more running after me as I turned around and kept shooting at them. I made it to the end of the hallway where I shot the control panel to it..
I slid underneath the door as it was closing. I managed to move my leg out of the way after it nearly crushed it. I leaned back against it trying to catch my breath. I looked down and I saw my leg was bleeding. From what I can tell, it didn't look too bad. I quickly ripped a piece of the bottom of my shirt and cleaned up the bleeding. I tied up my wound and slowly stood up.
There was a bridge almost narrow enough for two people to walk. I crawled over towards it and slowly got up. My breathing became ragged as I took a moment to calm myself down a bit. One look below and forget it, it was a never ending pit.
"Get it together," I said softly to myself. "It's the only way to survive and make it out alive."
With a shaky step, I walked over towards the edge of the bridge and walked over it slowly. The blaster at arm's length as I walked. It was too quiet for my taste. I wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or a good thing but it was it.
By the time I reached over to the other side, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I spun around; ready to shoot when to my shock it was the Commander from earlier.
"The hell do you want?" I asked.
"To help you," he replied.
What the hell?
A/n Next chapter, I think you guys will love me for it. I did drop a few hints I hoped you all picked up on ;-) and this is the last chapter for 2016 until next week.
This week has been a rough one for us. I don't know how to feel. I feel heartbroken, shocked, and saddened. I'm trying to grasp it as best as I can as we all are and to me this doesn't seem real. I wish it wasn't but it is and I know it'll take time to sink in what happened for sure. I'm sending out virtual hugs to my readers and the fans here on this board and I know we'll somehow get through this together one day at a time.
Keep Billie, Todd, their family and the cast in your thoughts and prayers.
I love you all and I want to wish you all a Happy and Safe New Years and let's hope 2017 will be better.
You know what to do. Thank you all for the support this year and there's more to come! I'm forever grateful to you all.
See you next week!
Spike
