Olivia

The guards stood on either side of us as we were lead to the bridge.

"Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash." Leia said in a fake friendly voice. I had to resist the urge to get up in his face and shout 'burn!'. "I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."

"Charming to the last. You two don't know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your pathetic lives." He said with a scowl.

"I'm surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself." I said, stealing one of Leia's lines.

"Princesses, before your execution I would like you two to be my guests at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now." Tarkin said with a grin as he walked towards the door then back towards us.

"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Leia said with a sweet smile.

"Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that will be destroyed first." Leia's smile disappeared in a matter of seconds. "Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the rebel base I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan."

"No, you can't do that!" I screamed. I didn't mean to, it just came out without me knowing until I'd spoken it.

"No, Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly-"

"Oh, but I can, my dear princesses. Would you two prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system." Tarkin said in a harsh voice.

We both hesitated and exchanged nervous, scared glances.

"I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the rebel base?" He stepped towards us and we stepped back, running into Darth Vader. Leia gave me look that told me to shut up and let her handle it. I didn't argue, I just wanted the planet safe and Tarkin's onion breath out of my face. Leia glanced out at Alderaan and took a deep breath.

"Dantooine." She said finally. "They're on Dantooine." She looked up at him, then down at the floor. She was great at lying.

"There, you see Lord Vader? She can be reasonable." Tarkin said to Vader before turning to the nearest co-pilot. "Continue with the operation. You may fire when ready."

"What?" Leia and I screeched at the same time.

"You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration, but don't worry. We will deal with your rebel friends soon enough." Tarkin turned to look out the window.

"No!" Leia said as she tried to take a step forward. She was stopped by Vader who was still behind us.

Switches were flipped, more lights turned on and the ship began to shake. A green laser came from the ship and struck the planet. It exploded in a giant fireball.

I know you're getting tired of reading the same thing as the movie and trust me I'm getting tired of writing it. But does change as soon as the Falcon lands and that's only one (maybe two) more chapters away. So stick with me and I apologize! Another thing; yes I know it's supposed to be Haven's chapter, but it would only make sense to put Olivia's here since she's with Leia. Next is Haven, then Nicky and then the order goes back to normal, simple as that. (also it's only been 15 minutes since I uploaded the last chapter, writing certain parts ahead has it's advantages)
