Disclaimer I don't own Star Wars yet again. I do own Kelsey and any characters that weren't mentioned or created in this series. I do also own two cats, one who sits on my lap and watches me write while the other once locked my keyboard.
Note I don't know if there are any human life forms in Feluica as far as to my knowledge in the Star Wars universe no matter how hard I researched, but let's say they are. See you at the bottom!
Chapter 15
Kelsey
It felt as time stood still.
There was some life forms around making noise as there was tense silence between us five. I looked quickly to my left as Han and Chewie had their weapons raised. I took a peak over by Luke. He stood next to me, ready to shield me from any danger that this man would present. I still held on to him as if I was scared to let go.
Was I really?
Even I felt safe now with Luke in the midst of all of this going on.
Am I really falling for Luke Skywalker?
I would need to focus on the situation now rather than my feelings at this moment. I can always assessed that later.
If we make it out alive.
No, no. I can't think that.
I stared the stranger. He was tall; almost near Han's height. He had dark black hair He had light green skin and wore different clothing from what we were wearing. I would understand if someone came on to my planet without notice, I would be scared too. But this was something I'd never experience before in all my travels.
Even today.
"Want to try and talk this one out?" I whispered to my brother.
"Kelse..."
"Don't move," the man snapped as I almost fell on to Luke.
"Look, we don't want trouble," Han said, stepping towards him slowly.
Oh kriff Han, don't do anything stupid.
"We're from the Alliance and we were sent here to get the missing supplies that have gone missing," Han said.
"You don't look like them," he said.
"Well you see..."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" The man asked.
"Well..." Han said, staring at me and Luke drawing up a blank.
This is lovely.
"Because he's telling the truth," I said, stepping away from Luke. "We just came for the supplies. Nothing more. We don't want to cause another war with you all especially this trying time. We just don't want trouble."
The man took a few steps towards me. I stood my ground, though I was shaking on the inside. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Luke taking a step forward; shielding me slightly as I held on to his wrist so he wouldn't try to do anything funny.
"The alliance?" the man said, warily.
"Yeah," I said. "But not the Empire if that's what you're thinking."
"Makes sense I suppose," he said. I saw him lowering his weapon slightly. "My apologies then. You should all know that this is a stressful time for all of us here and with the Empire looming doesn't help much either."
"We understand," I said.
"Thankfully so. Since you are part of the alliance that we've heard stories of, I can help with getting what you need," he said.
We all breathed a sigh of relief at that. This wasn't as bad as I thought it would go. The man started to help with the crates as I started to head towards them.
"That could've went worse," I said.
"But thank the force it didn't," Luke said.
"Yeah let's get those supplies and be on our way," Han said as we all put our weapons away for the time being.
"Agree," I said as Luke nodded his head as well.
As we started to get the supplies, I was slightly pulled back. I looked down and realized that Luke was still holding on to my hand as I was still holding on to his wrist from earlier.
When did he held my hand?
"Um, Luke? You know you can let go right?" I asked.
"Oh um, sorry," Luke said, slowly releasing my hand.
We looked at each other and I gave him an assuring smile that it was okay before picking up the supplies and headed back towards the Falcon.
-LINE BREAK-
"I must say this was as easy at it can be," Han said as we loaded up the Falcon.
"And to think we would've gotten killed over it too," Luke said. "Are we missing a crate?"
I looked over my shoulder from the loading ramp and Han was right. I also noticed that our friend was missing too.
Maybe he went back to the village. Either way, I couldn't let this feeling of worry escape me. I'm probably overexaggerating.
"I think so," I said. "I'll go get it."
"I'll go with you," Luke offered.
"It's okay it's not that far, plus it's only a quick walk," I said.
"I don't think it's a good idea to go by yourself," Luke said.
"The kid's right," Han said as Chewie mumbled.
I placed my blaster in my belt hoop as I got off the loading ramp and faced the men, placing my hands on my hips.
"While I do appreciate the concern gentlemen, there's nothing to worry about. The guy did say his village was on the other side from where we are. Nothing will happen and besides, I do have this you know," I said, holding up my blaster as I was leaving the men and Chewie behind.
I headed back into the path we came from. I walked fast so I can get the crate and head back so we can leave this planet. I got to the abandoned ship and took the last crate. I started to head off when I heard something.
Slowly, I turned around and saw nothing behind me. I out the crate down and raised my blaster in front of me as I checked around the abandoned ship. Nothing seemed out of place until I walked around and saw the man that helped us earlier, dead with a blaster shot to the head.
I stood there, stunned.
This could mean...
"LUKE! HAN!" I screamed, backing up. "WE'RE IN TROUBLE!"
I turned around and started to run forgetting the crate. As I was running, a small army of stormtroopers appeared out of nowhere stopping me in my tracks. Before I had time to react, I felt someone grabbing me and something inside of me snapped. I spun around and punched the trooper in the face. With him letting go of me and my right hand in pain, I shot at them with my blaster in my left hand as I bolted into the trees.
I kept going and going. How the hell did they find us? Were we being followed here?
What. In. The. Kriffing. Hell?
I got to a clearing and stood there looking around, trying to catch my breath. I didn't see the Falcon, Chewie, or Han.
Not even Luke.
Oh no.
What do I do?
Why didn't I listen to Luke in the first place?
I had no idea where I was running. I knew I was lost but I just kept going.
I need to somehow communicate with the guys but I wasn't sure if they would hear me or what. I need to a form a plan and I need to do it ASAP.
Girl don't panic. Just try to be calm.
I wonder how the boys were faring. I hope Luke and them weren't going crazy about me being missing right now.
Please Luke, Han and Chewie; be okay and somehow find me wherever you are.
I hid behind a large tree. I waited as a few storm troopers stopped short and looked around. I held on to my breath; blaster in hand as I was prepared to shoot at them again.
When I saw they walked away, I quietly stepped out of my hiding spot. I was met with noises from the wildlife or lack of on the planet.
Then, I took off.
I didn't know where I was going but I had to get back to the others fast somehow in some way.
I saw a cliff not far from here. I ran towards it but almost lost my balance.
As I regained my balance, I looked over and saw there was a huge waterfall.
Oh just my freaking luck.
From the looks of it, it didn't look too much of a drop but it was enough. All I could see was water. I looked back and saw that they were coming closer. I didn't know what to do. I could either jump off the cliff and land in the water; praying I don't die or face these troopers and get caught again.
Nope. No way I was going through that second option again.
Then again, what choice did I have?
I did the only choice that I could do.
I jumped off the cliff.
A/n *creeps out of hiding spot* I know I'm so cruel. But hopefully you won't kill me for this cliffhanger . but hey it could've been whole worst. Just saying XD.
But, I had a semi decent week so at least a good thing came out of this =D
Anyways, what will happen next? Will she survive the fall? Will the boys get to her in time? Will they leave the planet...alive? *shifts eyes* Got to read next week to find out! I know I'm such a tease XP
So go on leave me some love and I thank you all for your support. Now I'm off to go finish homework that's due on Sunday (oops but thank god spring break is next week) and hide while writing the next chapter and trying to stay warm. You would think that with spring coming soon winter would ease up a bit but...NOPE.
See you all next week, Byeeeeeee!
