Rush 22
Han opened his mouth like he was going to say something more. "Trust me on this I know her well enough to know better" said Anakin "You know her?" said Han "Yes when I was a Jedi she was my apprentice" said Anakin. Han grinned at him "Lost a lot of arguments huh?" said Han "Unfortunately yes" said Anakin. He never knew why he didn't notice Leia's resemblance to Padme before. He should have seen it on the death star. If he had he would have gotten her out of there instead of allowing her torture. He thanked the force that she had been considered his prisoner. If she had been Tarkin's she would have definitely gotten worse treatment. Tarkin's lack of restraint with prisoners was well known in the empire. He was especially fond of female prisoners, Anakin's presence on the death star had been the only thing preventing the woman's' rape at the hands of her captors. "Leia he didn't know" said Isis "He should have at least suspected something" said Leia "If I had you wouldn't have been on the death star awaiting your execution in the first place" said Anakin "She was protecting you, foolish girl" said Anakin "I'm not a fool at least I didn't believe his lies" said Leia "All right that is enough" said Isis. Anakin raised his finger as if to chew her out for her comment. "Leia he had reasons for that which are too complicated to go into right now" said Isis. Leia looked at her like she was crazy. "I can't believe you actually buy that, I thought you were smarter than that" said Leia "and I thought you were more open minded" said Isis. Leia caught a flash of light on her finger and grabbed her hand. "He gave you a ring?" said Leia. She looked at Anakin and then at Luke "please tell me your not going to marry him?" said Leia. "As a matter of fact I am" said Isis. Leia looked at her like she had lost her mind. "Why? He's a monster," said Leia. "Maybe he was and maybe he wasn't that still doesn't change how I feel about him" said Isis Leia snorted and headed for the door. She needed to go for a walk; she just couldn't deal with all this. She walked out the hotel room door and headed for the lift. Isis went after her leaving Han to fend for himself with Luke and Anakin. The doors to the lift closed before Isis reached them so she took the stairs to the bottom floor. Leia walked off the lift and right out the front doors. She had tears in her eyes and wasn't paying attention to where she was going. Isis saw Leia's head disappear into the crowd. She was heading for the bad part of town. Isis started to run to catch the woman. Usually Bellasarius was a safe town but there were certain parts of the main city you avoided, especially if you were wanted. It was into these sections that Leia was blindly stumbling. Isis turned a corner in time to see Leia enter a bar. Isis swore and followed her inside. The place was dimly lit. A music box scratched out a tune in the corner, literally. Isis glanced around the room. Leia had taken a seat at a corner booth. Isis walked over to her and sat down next to her. "Leia" said Isis her voice was soft "I'm sorry," said Isis "Why it's not your fault" said Leia. Isis sighed "In a way it is, if I hadn't told Luke about his past he would have done as Obi-Wan wanted him to" said Isis "Then why did you?" said Leia. Isis looked at the table in front of her . "Maybe it was because part of me still loved him," said Isis. She fingered the ring on her hand and looked up at Leia. "He wasn't always a monster you know" said Isis. Leia swallowed "I know I just can't forget what he did to me" said Leia "What did he do?" said Isis. Leia looked uncomfortable for a few moments. "He invaded my mind when he questioned me I couldn't keep him out nothing was sacred to him" said Leia "He could have done worse" said Isis "I know but that was enough to make me feel violated" said Leia "No sweetie that wasn't violated, that would have happened had you been another's prisoner" said Isis. Leia looked at the table this time. She traced a scar on its surface before looking up at Isis. "I know I've heard the rumors about Tarkin and others" said Leia "and yet you call someone a monster for simply rummaging through your thoughts, there are plenty of other less pleasant ways to question a prisoner," said Isis. She was remembering Obi wan's treatment at the hands of Dooku so long ago. "Yes I know but they blew up my planet," said Leia "Did he actually fire the weapon? Or order it done" said Isis "Well no, he just held me and made me watch," said Leia "Are you certain he wasn't shielding you from the physic backlash such destruction would cause?" said Isis. Leia looked somewhat confused by her words. Isis didn't need the force to tell her that the girl's emotions were in turmoil. "I don't know I guess I don't know anything anymore" said Leia "Don't feel bad about it I've been at that spot before the important thing is to find your way back" said Isis. Leia frowned and looked at the drink in her hands. "Speaking of which this isn't he best part of town for us to be in" said Isis. Leia looked around her, for the first time really taking in her surroundings. "No I suppose its not," said Leia "Then maybe we should leave?" said Isis "Yeah good idea" said Leia. She slid the credits in the pay slot on the table, to pay for her drink. Though she felt way over charged for the watered down glass of whatever she had ordered. Isis and Leia made their way to the front door. They were halfway down the street when a Rodian stepped out of the shadows. It said something in its language and the word "Organa" before it leveled a blaster in her direction. Isis reacted by force flinging the weapon away from him. "Leia run!" Isis ordered. Leia ignored her and grabbed the rodian's dropped blaster. The street erupted into chaos as bounty hunters came out of the woodwork to grab the rebel leader and her companion. Several of the hunters began firing and Isis drew her light saber. "Leia go get help, there's too many of them" said Isis. "But" Leia started to protest. Isis was too busy deflecting blaster bolts back at their attackers. She was systematically dwindling the ranks down with each deflection. "Leia!" Isis yelled. With a pained look on her face Leia turned around and ran. Several of the bounty hunter tried to cut off her escape. When Leia turned to run, Isis began chanting under her breath while she deflected bolts. Summoning several small constructs to run interference for Leia. As Leia ran down the street wolves took form out of shadows and pulled her would be assailants down before they could attack. Leia was almost to the end of the street when suddenly the wolves vanished. Leia turned back to look. Isis was on the ground and she wasn't moving. Tears sprang to Leia's eyes as she ran for all that she was worth towards the hotel. She ran strait through the lobby when she got there and into a lift. Right past the couple exiting it. Leia ignored their protests and hit the button for their floor. She tapped her foot impatiently as the lift slowly rose and annoyingly calm music tried to soothe her. Leia was crying by the time she reached the floor. She ran down the hall and started banging on Luke's door. Han opened it and Leia fell into the room. She was sobbing at this point, thinking she had just gotten Isis killed. "Leia what's wrong?" said Han. Leia sobbed and tried to say what happened. Unfortunately it came out in hiccupping sobs. "Easy child what's wrong, where is Isis?" said Anakin. Leia didn't seem to care that Darth Vader had his hands on her shoulders. "Bounty.. Hunter.. Shot her, I think she's dead," sobbed Leia. "Where?" said Anakin "North side of town" Leia said her voice was starting to go back to normal. "What were you doing on the north side of town that's where the bounty hunters hang out" said Han "Oh great" said Luke "The bounty hunter that shot her what did he look like?' said Anakin. "He was a Kifer I think," said Leia "Come we need to go look for her" said Anakin. Luke grabbed his light saber and Han picked up his gun off the table where Isis left it. They followed Leia to where she had seen Isis go down. "Well if they had killed her, her body would still be here," said Anakin. He touched a spot of blood on the street. Frowning at the liquid droplets on his finger. "Who ever did this will pay" said Anakin. "We should make contact with any connections we have around here, see if anyone's trying to collect that reward" said Han "Good idea, I need to make some calls" said Anakin. What Luke had told him the other night weighed heavily on his mind. Her capture nagged heavily on his mind and sacred him to death that he might lose her. Leia sniffled some what "so she's not dead?" said Leia "No that is highly unlikely, whoever has her must have recognized her enough to know he won't collect anything if she's hurt" said AnakinWhile AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
