Disclaimer I so wish I own Star Wars but sadly I don't. I do own my characters so that should count right?

Chapter 8

Kelsey

I felt as if I got hit by a hover car.

My body felt stiff as I tried to open my eyes. They flutter as I was met with a bright light in the room. I looked over and saw my arm was hooked up to an IV.

Wait, an IV?

My vision focused in on the room. I saw that I was in a medical room but where I wasn't sure. I looked down and saw that I was covered with a thick blanket and I wore a light grey shirt or robe. My arms looked fine and when I moved, I winced a little at the pain by my hip.

Where the hell am I?

Okay try not to panic. It's not like I was being held hostage again.

Was I?

Taking a few calming breaths, I slowly pulled the blanket off of me. I saw that I was wearing matching pants that went with the robe. I sat up slowly as I tried not to make any stitches or whatever I have fall apart.

I held on to my IV pole and slowly walked towards the door.

"Hello? Anyone here?" I called out.

No one answered.

I stepped out of the room and into the hallway. It was empty and I heard a few driods around but no one else was here.

Pressing my lips together, I started to head back in the room when all of a sudden, the door was slammed shut. I stood there in shock as I looked around. At this point, I was in a dark hallway.

What the hell?

I didn't see the IV pole since it disappeared somehow and I was still in my medical center clothes.

I slowly walked down the hallway, my hand luckily holding me up as I walked. This place looked familiar almost too familiar. I had to get out of here. Fast.

"He's coming! He's coming!" a voice shouted as an alarm rang.

I looked around and started to run. With my right hip aching like it was on fire, I pushed my body as if I did this before. I came to the end of the hall and it was a dead end. I heard noises from behind as I tried to find another way out.

Heavy footsteps were heard from behind and I just turned around when a strong hand grabbed me and tossed me in a room. The door closed and I scrambled up to try and get out.

The next thing I knew, another hand took my arm and suddenly, pain went through my body.

And then I let out a scream.

-LINE BREAK-

I gasped and my eyes shot open as I woke up. I sat up quickly, not caring that the pain in my lower side of my body was burning. I looked around frantically realizing I was in the same room as I was in my nightmare.

Oh no not this.

"Don't hurt me! I know nothing!," I cried out.

"Hey, hey, it's okay it's okay," a man's voice said.

I turned and saw the man sitting down on my bed and started to crawl away slightly from him. Almost right away, I recognized him as the man who I saw before I passed out.

"Don't hurt me please," I said, squeezing my eyes shut.

"It's okay," he said, taking a hold of both my arms gently. "Just look at me and breathe. It's okay. No one will hurt you."

I opened my eyes slowly and I got lost a little in his eyes as I started to calm down. I don't understand how can a stranger can care so much for me besides Han and Chewie.

"There we go," he said, lowering his hands to my wrists holding them lightly.

I studied him as I saw he was in the same outfit as I remembered last. This whole thing didn't make sense as to what was going on right now.

"I-I.."

"You had a nightmare, I wanted to see how you were doing and then I heard screams," he said.

"How late is it?" I asked.

"It's the middle of the night," he replied.

"Whoa," I said. I was out of it this entire time? "I'm sorry I hope I didn't freak you out or anything."

"You didn't though I will admit; your scream did scare me for a second there," the man said.

"Where am I? How the heck did I get here? Who are you?" I asked.

By then I calmed down slightly, but it doesn't mean that I'm still on edge about what's going on.

"You're on Echo Base on Hoth," he said. "You got hurt when I found you and your brother, Chewie and I brought you here to get help."

Well at least that part from my nightmare was true.

"I see," I said, trying to process it all. "I'm sorry it's just a lot to take in. This is all new to me."

"Perfectly understandable. The Empire won't find us here; especially you. You're safe here," he told me.

"How would you know?"

"Because this is the Rebel Alliance and we're fighting with the Empire," he replied.

Rebel Alliance? No way. I've heard stories about them from travels but being here in a rebel base this was something huge.

"This is where you've all been? This is the base Han's been mentioning to me?" I asked, getting up before leaning back slightly as I winced in pain.

No wonder it's so damn cold here.

"Are you alright? Do you want me to get the medic?" he asked me frantically.

"No it's fine besides I know they'll might check on me eventually," I replied. I studied him for a second before I spoke again.

"Your name," I said.

"What?"

"I never got your name. Technically, you answered most of my questions but you never gave me your name. I need to thank you for saving me somehow," I replied.

Since when the hell do I talk this much?

"Oh right," he said, blushing a bit.

He's too cute when he blushes.

Oh stop it Kelsey. You don't even know the guy.

Not yet anyways.

Oh for kriff's sake.

"I'm Luke Skywalker," he said.

"Kelsey Solo," I said, giving him a small smile.

"Kelsey," Luke said, testing out my name. "Pretty name for a pretty girl like you."

I could feel the heat rising on my cheeks when he said that. Already I've met the guy twice and I couldn't help but feel safe around him. There's something there but what is it, I couldn't pin point it.

"You always say that to the girls you save?" I asked.

"No, well I mean, no," he said, shocked at my blunt question.

Even when he's speechless it's kind of cute .I couldn't help but laugh a little as that but then I rubbed my hand over my face as I tried to cover up a yawn.

"You should rest," Luke said. "I'll be back here with Han and the others tomorrow."

"There's more of you?"

"Yeah but don't worry, they don't mean any harm," Luke assured me.

"I suppose and do I really need the rest?" I asked.

"Yes you should but like I said, no one here will hurt you. I won't let anything happen to you. You're safe," Luke said, giving my hand a light squeeze.

I nodded as I saw him get up from his spot. As he was near the doorway, I spoke up.

"Luke?" I called out as he turned around.

"Thank you," I said. "For rescuing me. I know I'll never repay you for what you did and I know it'll be the same with Han and everyone but thank you."

"Of course," Luke said, giving me a warm smile as he left.

I lied back on the bed and soon after I fell asleep feeling more exhausted and more questions burning into my mind.

A/n Woo finally they meet for real! More of this will happen in the story I promise!

I finally saw Rouge One on Monday and OMG! This movie probably surpassed my expectations and oh my! Yeah I'm definitely at a loss for words on how good it was!

Thank you for the love as always! I got more where its coming from before I start school again in a few weeks. I will start writing the first chapter of my TFA story at the end of the month and meanwhile I'm halfway done writing the first chapter for a secret story I'm working on.

I hope you all stick around! Leave me some love on the way out and I'll see you all next week!
