Lily and Han look at each other. Standing next to Vader Boba Fett had just appeared. Lily wanted to leap at him, cut his throat open. This was a man she had hated since forever. Han and Boba Fett went way back, and it wasn't a good history. And naturally Lily hated the bounty hunter. She had never told Luke this, because he would tell her that hate was wrong. But she didn't care, she glares at him. She felt a restraining hand on her shoulder. Maybe she looked as aggressive as she was feeling. She looks back to see Han looking at her. Her expression softened, "I'm so sorry." She whispered as tears welled up in her eyes, "I tried to protect you."
Han looked at his sister in surprise. "Lils, it's not your job to protect me, it's my job to protect you. So I'm the one that needs to be sorry. I can't promise anything. I should have listened to you when you told us to leave this place." He takes her in his arms and glared at Vader, "If you want her, you're going to have to go through me." He knew that would hurt Lily more, but if she lived through this, then he would forgive himself. But he didn't think that if he didn't do anything, he would be being the worst big brother out there. He wished he had his blaster, he felt naked without it. He glares at Vader and pushes Lily into Chewie's arms, with a whisper, "Chewie don't worry about me, get Lily out of here if you can."
Chewie took Lily in his arms. He knew that Han wanted to protect her more then himself. And he hated that he might have to leave Han behind. But he had a life debt to both of the Solos and if he could get one out then she would stay with him. She was in tears, he wanted to comfort her. But he was so angry at Lando that he was having trouble controlling himself. He wanted, like Lily, to pounce Fett and tear him to pieces. He hated that man just like the rest of them did. But there was little he could do now. He looks at Lily and pushes her behind him.
Lily was not having any of this she came out from behind Chewie, "Han I'm not a kid anymore, I have to protect you." She looks at him her face stained with tears, "Please I can't lose you." She said as she threw herself into his arms again, "I'm not leaving you. I'm not letting you out of my sight." She sobbed into his chest. She was scared for him, and she wanted to make sure that he got out of this alive. And not frozen in carbonite. But she didn't know how she was going to do that. She had to think of someway to get Han out of here. But her mind was coming up with blanks. But she would do everything in her power to make sure that Han got out of here.
Han was surprised by Lily, she usually did as he told her. In situations like this. He usually got her to do whatever he wanted. Which was to get her out of there. But now she was clinging to him. It was strange, she wasn't afraid for herself, she was afraid of losing him. He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth, "Shh, it'll be alright." He whispers to him. "I promise." He said as he kissed her on the top of the head, "And I'm sorry about what I said about Luke the other day. I don't mind the kid, and if you have to marry someone, then I'm glad that it's him." He said as he pulled away from her, "But please, don't worry about me, get out of here."
By that time Vader was standing next to them, "How touching." He breathed down at them. He wanted to make them suffer. He was going to get Skywalker to come to them, and he was going to have him as his prize. And maybe the girl would be cooperative and then she could come with them. But he knew that if Skywalker lost her, then it would be easier to get him to come over to the darkside. But not yet…he had a lot planned for her, and he wasn't going to kill her fast, she was going to suffer, and she would get her last seconds with Solo, and then they would kill her.
Lily looks up at Vader and shakes her head, "Please. Let the rest of them go. I'm the one you want." She pleads with him. She was ignoring Han's request. She knew that he was mad at her, but if he got out of here, it would be worth it. She wasn't going to lose him. And she would do what she could to let him keep her too. But she didn't know any other way to make sure the others got out of here. She looks up at Vader and shrunk next to Han, knowing that he was in danger was enough. But this man was so terrifiying that she would do everything to get him out of here.
Vader shakes his head and grabs Lily and pulls her away from Solo, he was going to have fun torturing her. He was going to make her suffer, and then maybe Skywalker would come to her rescue. And then he had an idea, if he tortured Solo as he tortured the child, she might be easier to break. That was it, put them in the same room and they would suffer together. And maybe he would let Fett do what he wished with the Solos he knew that he had been looking forward to getting back at them, but that was something he would have to think about. He would make sure that they brought Skywalker to him.
Lily knew that it was no use, but she struggled against Vader. She didn't want to be here with him. She wanted to be with Han. And she got a glimpse at his mind. And she gasped in horror, he was going to hurt them both. And there wasn't a damn thing that she could do about it. But he would make them suffer together. Well maybe she could fight her way to get to Han and stop the torture on him. But she doubted it. She wished she could though. She wished she could make him suffer for all of the things that he had done to them. But she also knew that, that was the darkside.
Han looks at Vader as he takes Lily and he tries to keep his hands on her, but Vader's hand came down on his arms, and he yelled in shock and pain. The monster had broken his arms. He glares at Vader, "You leave her alone!" He shouted at him, but he wasn't sure he was going to stop them from hurting them. He knew that there was going to be pain, and lots of it. But he was going to make sure that Lily was far off this planet, and not in his reach. That was impossible. But he was going to make sure that she stayed safe.
Vader motioned to two troopers, "Take them to the torture chamber. I will be there in a moment." He released Lily and stormed out of the room. When the troopers came to get Lily she aimed a kick at them. But one of them grabbed her leg and bent it till it broke. She screamed in pain, and the troopers laughed. She was going to be fun to break. And they would make sure that she didn't get out of here alive. They hoped Vader would allow them to have some fun with her. That would make Solo go nuts. And that was something that they really wanted to see happen.
A few minutes later Lily and Han were thrown into a torture chamber. Han tried very hard to get to Lily, he had to make sure that she was alright. He knew she wasn't , she was scared, and hurt, and now they were going to torture her. He wanted to hold her. They had fixed his arms, but not her leg. He knew that this was hard for her. But he was going to make it as easy as possible for her. He would not want her to give them any information. He hoped that she would stay strong. And he knew she would, and that Vader would not kill her…yet.
Lily looks around the room, she looks at Han, "I'm so sorry." She whispered to him again, the last of a thousand times. But she knew it wasn't really her fault, and that she had nothing to do with it, and that she should just get over this. She would not give these pigs anything. Not a thing. She would lie if she had to. But she knew that Vader would be able to sense that when she did. Even she could do that, and she had no training in the force whatsoever. She looked around and then noticed that the stormtroopers were gathering around her. This wasn't good.
Vader enters the room and looks at Lily, "I think we'll start with you first." He said as he made his way over to her, "I'm sure that by the end of the time, you will have revealed to me what I want to know. I want to know where Skywalker. And I won't stop until you give me the real destination. But I will not kill you. So it's up to you, you can make this easy for you and I or you can make this very hard." He walks over to her and picks her up and lies her down on a bed. He strapped her arms and legs down, "I promise you, you will give me the information I want. Even if we do this all day."
Lily knew that she was in trouble. She wanted to make sure that she was not going to give him the information he wanted. She would not reveal the location of Luke. She would not tell him. For one thing, she really didn't know. He hadn't told her when they left, and she knew that, that was to protect her. She looks at Vader as he straps her to the bed. She didn't show any fear, though she was trembling on the inside. She was not going to like this. But she already knew that. She looked up and saw a medical droid enter the room. And the color in her face drained.
Vader smiles behind the mask and makes his way over to her, "Like I said you can make this easy or you can make it hard." He motions to the droid, "This droid is going to cut open your stomach and will cause you a lot of pain. But if you tell me where Skywalker is, then you can save yourself the pain." He could feel the fear coming off her in waves. It pleased him, he could feed on it. He would make this interesting. He watches her, she looked frightened and scared. That also pleased him. He smiles behind the mask and looks at the droid, "You may begin."
Lily struggles against the bonds and she began to sweat. She couldn't begin to tell them anything they wanted. She struggles so hard she breaks her arms and legs against the bonds. She watched with wide eyes, and watched the droid started to come towards her. She was in trouble and she knew it. There was no way to get out of this one. She struggled with all of her might, and nothing was happening. She looks at the droid. She had never been so terrified in her life. She ignores the pain in her arms and legs and struggles.
A few hours later Lily and Han are thrown into a cell. Lily is almost unconscious. But she was still breathing and in Han's point of view, that was a good thing. He crawled over to her and took her in his arms. That droid cut her stomach open and then poorly stitched it together. He didn't think he was ever going to forgive himself, even if Lily did. He knew that she was right about everything, coming here was a big mistake. But he couldn't change the plans now, and there was no way out of this. He had to think of a way to get Lily to a medic, and she could get out of here on the Falcon even if he didn't.
Lily stirred and then her eyes opened, "Hey." She says softly. She was in a lot of pain, "How are you?" She asked of course her concern was on Han. She had been tortured, and so had he, not to the extent in which she had been. But she knew that he was hurting too. She sat up and threw up, thankfully not on Han, "Sorry." She whispers. She then snuggles up to him, laying her head on his chest. She knew he wouldn't mind. He was always there for her, and that was nice. He was the best big brother anyone could ever ask for. She was lucky to have him and she knew it. She wraps her arms around her, trying not to get sick. She was not feeling well, which was no wonder. That droid had been thorough. And it hurt to sit.
Han strokes her hair out of her face, "Don't be sorry. If anyone should be sorry it should be me. I should have listened to you when you told me that we should leave this place without looking back." He said as he kisses her on the forehead. He looks around, "I wonder what they're doing to Leia. She's not going to be in any shape to take care of you. I'm worried. Chewie is fine but I don't know if they're going to enslave him again." He shook his head, there had to be something he could do for Lily. It was just hard coming up with something. He wanted to get her out of this alive. But he knew she would not go without him.
Lily looks up at Han and smiles, "Alright I'm not mad at you though. I know you didn't know. I didn't know for sure. But now that my dreams have come true so far, I'm sure the last part is going to happen. And Han, I'm really sorry. I'll try to get you back." She said as fresh tears welled up in her eyes. She knew he was going to get frozen, and she hadn't talked to him about it. And now it was too late, and he was going to be hurt even more. There had to be something she could do. Vader had her lightsaber. Well that wasn't going to be of any use. She barely knew how to use the thing. Luke would be better at it, he was stronger and deeper with the force then she was.
