Kelsey

"Why the hell would you do that?" I asked.

"Believe me I know it's bizarre," he replied.

Bizarre just doesn't cover it. Hell, I don't know how to describe it.

"Should I trust you? That's the question," I said, still having my weapon in my hand aiming at him.

"You're right you shouldn't but I know a way out of here," The Commander said.

I stared at him hard. Should I trust him? No. But what choice do I have at this time? I slowly lowered my weapon only at my waist but still slightly aiming at him.

"Fine," I said, praying I don't regret it. "What do you have?"

The Commander let out a breath in relief.

"Okay you go down that hallway," he replied, pointing to an opening nearby. "Then you go down to the bottom floor where there's a transport room. Just be careful when going there."

"I hope you know that you might get killed for this," I said. "Not that I won't do it."

"I know."

"I also hope that just because you're helping me; I don't trust you," I noted.

He nodded mutely. I started to walk away when I stopped short. I turned towards him and studied him one last time.

"Thank you," I said. "You shouldn't but thank you."

He nodded again and I turned my back on him again as I left the room.

-LINE BREAK-

Short cut my ass.

I somehow wounded up in the boiler room not far from where I was. I didn't see another way to get to the floor so I guess maybe this would help.

I walked along the catwalk and looked down. It was only a couple floors so it wasn't that much of a drop. I carefully swung my body over the railing with the blaster clipped to my belt on my hip.

Slowly, I climbed down to the bottom floor. With every move, I moved slowly only because I don't want to wind up breaking a bone or anything like that. I felt my body shaking with nervousness as I stop for a moment.

I was almost there.

As soon as I kept going, I made it to the bottom. A door opened not far and I quickly turn to run and hid behind two boilers nearby.

"Are you sure she's in here?" a storm trooper said.

"Yeah I could've sworn someone said they saw her come in here," a second storm trooper replied.

I heard them walking around as I remain still.

"Nope she's not in here. There's no way she can be in here," the storm trooper said.

"I guess you're right," the second storm trooper agreed.

"Come on let's keep looking. I don't think she can get far; especially with this place on lockdown."

After I heard them leave, I stepped out of my spot. I need to get out of here. Stat.

I ran towards the door and out the boiler room and with one final look, I took off.

-LINE BREAK-

I was surprised not to have gotten caught so far.

I managed to sneak around the first floor and found myself a few yards away from the transport room. From what I was told, it was the room that goes in and out of the station.

So close yet so far.

I choose at that moment to make a run for it. I headed off towards where the exit was and how in that moment, I wish I hadn't

I felt two arms grabbing me and I tried to attack my attacker but by then, I was being dragged away; struggling to get free. I was thrown into a room nearby, losing my blaster.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

I was met with a huge slap across my face sending me to the floor. I cough and I spit up a little bit of blood.

Oh lovely.

"Oh now she finally comes crawling back."

I looked up with horror as I saw the Admiral walk in and then I saw the guards drag in the Commander but what's worse was he was dead as they tossed his body in front of me.

"No..."

"Ah so he did help out after all," the Admiral sneered at me.

"You assholes. How could you do this?" I shrieked, trying to get up.

"You see my dear. We've been trying to get information out of you and for some reason, you choose not to help," he replied.

"Choose? I did nothing because I know nothing," I said, slowly getting up. "And even IF I did, I wouldn't tell you all a damn thing."

He looked shocked that I stood up. Hey, can you blame me?

Then his look became dark. I sat up straight from my spot on the floor. I looked over and saw my weapon lying nearby and back at him. I didn't like this feeling right now.

"And now," he said, pulling out a gun in front of me which made my eyes go wide. "You shall meet his same fate."

I looked up at the Admiral from the ground, waiting for him to shoot at me so I can shoot him. Something inside me stirred and I looked up at him with a venomous look as I reached for my blaster nearby.

"I'll see you in hell," I said, getting up.

Then everything went into a haze.

I felt something hit my lower right side as I fell to the ground, crying out in pain. A few more shots were fired as I winced at the sounds. After it was over, I looked over and saw that the Admiral was lying on the floor dead.

My eyes went wide at the sight.

I tried to get up but pain shot through my body as I looked down. I saw on my hand there was blood and my hip was bleeding.

What the hell? Did I get shot?

I jolted at the sound of another gunshot coming from outside the room and lied back down and crying out in pain; not caring in the world who would hear me. I was better off dead at this point.

"I got you. You're going to be fine."

I looked up and saw a pair of bright blues eyes staring back at me frantically. All my life, I've never seen blue eyes that bright in my life. They looked like clear water blue and I tried to stay focused at the situation now.

I can always get lost in his eyes later. Oh get a grip Kelsey.

"W-What?"

The man knelt down beside me took off his jacket, revealing his grey military uniform and I tried to scurry away but it made the pain worse.

"Hey it's going to be alright. I'm going to help you," he said, in a calm tone.

I looked at him warily as he came closer. He then put his jacket around me and grabbed both of my hands and slowly pulled me up from the ground. I immediately know now it was the guy from earlier. As I was starting to walk, I felt the room spinning as I swayed back and forth. I waited a few seconds before I was able to be fine.

He looked familiar. Where did I see him before?

"We need to go," I told him as I grabbed my blaster.

"Follow me," he said, taking my hand.

"Wait how do you.."

"We're here to rescue you," the man replied. "I need to find Han and Chewie.."

"Wait, you know my brother?" I asked.

"Yeah how did...you're his sister aren't you?"

"Yep. I'm-"

A blast suddenly interrupted our talk and the man pushed me to the ground, shielding his body with mine. I looked up and saw he was holding on to me. I wasn't sure what it was but being in his arms; I felt safe and I don't even know his name.

"Are you hurt?" I asked.

"No I'm fine."

"You better not be lying," I said.

"Come on," he said, pulling me up slowly.

Without taking a hold of my hand as I wrapped my body with his jacket as we ran. I took my blaster and started shooting at the troopers while the man did the same. We managed to make it out of the station as he lead me into the trees.

I took a quick look up at the sky and saw it was getting near dark or early morning. Was it one of those things? I wasn't sure.

"The Falcon is up this way," he told me. "They should be there by now."

I nodded weakly as we kept going. I loosen my grip on him as I started to feel dizzy again. I let go as I stood on my spot, swaying.

"I'm sorry," I said as all I remember was falling to the ground and those blue worried eyes coming close as I went into darkness.

A/n Oh I'm such a tease and I hope ya'll don't hate me for that ending . At least they met. =D

Anyway, I hope you all had nice start to the new year already. I'm sorry this is coming a bit late I was sick bad with lung inflammation that wasn't fun but I'm getting better and I hope not to deal with that again.

I am excited to finishing up projects (hopefully) and starting new ones including the first chapter to a secret story I started planning. I'm not sure when that'll be posted but you'll know when I do. And no it's not TFA and that story I'm aiming for a spring debut with that should all go to plan. Can't tell you that much now can I ;-)

I'll try to update next week and if that isn't happening then Sunday night will be the back up update date. If that made sense well, you get my drift.

Leave me some love on the way out! I can't thank you enough for your support! I'll always be forever grateful.

Until next week,
Spike
