Disclaimer I don't own Star Wars sadly. I do own Kelsey and any other characters that I made up.

Chapter 9

Kelsey

I've been awake for a few minutes before a nurse came in. I was still here, in the medical center and as much as I hate to say it, this sucks big time.

"Oh good you're awake," she said.

Right away she checked over everything as I sat there. I saw that she took a look at my wound on my hip where I saw the bandage there from when I got hurt. I still wonder how I got that but I was afraid to ask at the same time.

"Does it hurt when you move?" she asked.

"No," I said softly.

"Okay it looks like things are okay for now. I'm sure the doctor will come by to give you a heads up on what's to come in the next few days," she told me.

I thanked her as she left my room. I sat on the bed letting everything sink in from last night. The fact that I got hurt while escaping from captivity really is something. I was scared to know what else they did to me.

If even at that.

A familiar growl snapped me out of my thoughts as I grinned widely at the Wookie entering my room.

"Chewie," I said.

Chewie let out a happy growl as he hugged me lightly. He started to pat my head lightly as he continue to growl that he was happy that I'm awake.

"Well if it isn't my infamous sister," Han's voice said from the doorway. "Easy Chewie."

"It's fine Han," I said, as he sat on my bed.

"Thank kriff you're alright," he said, hugging me.

"I am but wait about the part for the Falcon...," I said.

"Don't worry about that now. I got your things safe," he told me.

I could only nod at that statement. I know I would worry about that later.

"Luke told me this morning you met him last night," he said.

"Oh..yeah that," I said, looking down at the blanket. "I had a nightmare of sorts but it's fine now and Luke wanted to see how I was doing since he was there that day you know?"

"Huh," he said, looking not convinced. "Yeah he was there. He managed to get you out of there though I want to hear your side of the story on all of this."

"Luke wanted to see you this morning but he had to go do a training session with the new pilots today," Han said.

"I see," I said, wishing badly he came this morning. "Have you spoken to the doctor?"

"I did," Han said nervously.

Okay now I was getting nervous.

"What did he say?" I asked.

I know I got hurt, I just want to know the extend of it.

"You got shot," he replied. "Something must've went down because you got shot when Luke found you and I guess you didn't know that you shot when he found you."

I nodded mutely. The past two days came back but when I was unconsious then that's when things got fuzzy.

"How long am I stuck in here?"

"Until you're well enough to walk," Han said.

A droid's beeps interrupted our conversation. I looked up and saw a blue and silver driod enter the room followed by a golden droid as well.

"Oh hello there," the golden driod said to me.

"It talks," I said, eyebrows raising.

"Yeah you'll get use to it," Han said as Chewie mumbled in agreement.

"Oh pardon me, I'm C-3PO human cyborg relations and this one here is R2-D2," he said. Artoo let out a few beeps. "Artoo is pleased to meet you as well."

"Threepio are you making the patient nervous?" a woman's voice spoke up.

I saw that a woman with dark brown hair and eyes walk into the room. She was wearing white jumpsuit with boots and her hair was up in a fancy braid style.

"Oh well, no Princess I was trying to welcome her," he replied.

"Nice to see you too your Worshipness," Han said with a cheeky grin as the woman rolled her eyes at him.

"Your highness," I said, bowing my head slightly.

"Smooth sis," Han whispered.

"Shut up will you?" I said to Han sending a playful glare.

"No formalities needed you can call me Leia," she said.

"Oh um, okay," I said. "Leia."

"How are you feeling Kelsey?" Leia asked.

"Um, coping," I replied.

"Do you remember what happened?" Han asked.

"You can wait to tell if you want," Leia offered.

"No it's okay," I said. "I do want to tell it's just I feel a bit fuzzy on some parts."

"Like what?" Leia asked.

"After I escaped," I replied. "I know I escaped. Before that, my ship got tampered and I landed on the planet. I went to look for help after I sent that message and I got captured. They tried to get me to let them know where you were hiding out and then next thing I knew, I escaped from them trying to break out. That's when I met Luke and he helped me towards the Falcon and I passed out."

The room was silent minus Artoo's couple beeps. I looked over at Han and Leia which they were both wearing concern on their faces.

Were they hiding something from me?

"What is it?" I asked.

"When you being checked over, they discovered while taking your blood that you were drugged," Han replied.

"What?!" I shrieked.

"Calm down..."

"Don't tell me to calm down! I mean, how the hell could I've been drugged? I escaped from those bastards and made it out of the building before I passed out. I don't understand," I said, starting to freak out a little.

"I don't know and I'm sorry this happened to you," Leia said.

"You know you're safe here," Han said as Chewie agreed.

"I know," I said. "It's something I never dealt with before until now. I didn't mean to overreact."

"Don't apologize," Leia said. "You have every right to feel how you feel."

"Yeah your worshipness is right you know," Han said as Leia glared at him.

"And you put up with my brother for how long?" I asked her. "I give you kudos my friend."

Leia looked at me before she smiled at me. They stayed a bit longer before they all had to get back to work promising me to stop by before dinner.

After that, I closed my eyes for a small nap.

-LINE BREAK-

I sat on the edge of my hospital bed later that evening. I was given the okay to move around but not to overdo it. I would be released from the medical center should all go according to plan. Leia told me that there would be a room ready for me when I get out.

I decided to explore a little since this would be my home now. I don't have my ship anymore since it was destroyed back on Rishi from what Han told me. I was fine with that for now at least.

Slowly, I made my way out of my room and down the hall. Han and Chewie had to work on the Falcon and Leia was with the Alliance at a meeting or some sort and Luke was finishing up training new pilots since he was promoted to Commander two years ago.

I stopped short at the end of the hallway. Deciding that I would head to back to my room, I turned when someone accidentally bumped into me, hitting my right hip.

"Sorry," the man mumbled as I held on to my hip gritting my teeth as he walked away.

Why I oughta...

"Are you alright?" Luke's voice rang alerting me his presence. I looked up in surprise to see him in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I wanted to stop by to see how you were doing and clearly I'm glad that I did," he said. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Oh how I wish this question was never asked but I bit my tonuge from saying it for now at least.

"Yeah I am, just got bumped into that's all," I replied, waiting the pain to subside. "I just pray that my wound doesn't do anymore damage than it is."

"What were you doing out of bed?" Luke asked.

"I got the all clear to move around," I replied. "I figured why not a walk? Now that was a dumb idea."

"I hardly would think that," he said.

"I don't know and I was actually going to head back anyways so..."

"Let me walk you back," Luke said.

"Oh no, you don't have to besides I don't want to intrude on whatever you were doing just now," I said.

"Nonsense," he said, holding his arm out for me.

I was hesitant at first but I knew in the end I would lose this battle. I slowly took a hold of his arm as he led me slowly back to my room.

"Just don't let me fall," I said in a joking matter.

"I would never," he said in a serious tone.

Maybe this place wouldn't be too bad after all.

A/n Yay the group meets! I had a bit of a different idea and then this happened so yeah I tried my best as always with every chapter I hope you all liked it.

I will admit, writing Leia given the circumstances it was hard but in a way theraputic since it'll be a month that Carrie Fisher is gone but she will live on forever.

Speaking of...Star Wars The Last Jedi...holy crap! I've heard and read so much theroies about the title I'm sure we're dying to know! My theory is that maybe we'll find out what happened with Luke in his exile while training Rey. As for Luke dying I don't know guess we'll see what happens.

What are you theories with The Last Jedi? Don't forget to leave a review on the way out! I don't bite ) Thank you all for those who did and kept me in your alerts.

Until next week! I go back to school Monday (why?!) so we'll see how my update schedule will be this semester. Just pray that it goes smoothly as possible.
