A Rebel Dream ~ Star Wars Fan Fiction

Hope!

Authors Note: I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for finding and reading my story. Those of you who are commenting is so amazing too and I love to hear what you think. So this chapter is definitely the most intense/long and will definitely have you thrown for a loop. This definitely has a lot going on in it so try to keep up. There is two songs that I really helped me get into this chapter which is hold on and train wreck. The both tie into the emotional aspect of the whole chapter. When I was writing this book this was the hardest chapter to do and I had the biggest writer block for over a month. Though all the ideas were there just I could not find a way to deliver them. In the end it turned out so well and I hope you enjoy it!! 🤭😊

I breathed in sharply, as I desperately wanted to take his hand in mine and grip it tightly, never letting go. I had never felt this kind of fear run through my bones, I knew what the Empire was capable of. I never thought I would hold such compassion towards someone. I didn't want to let go, the future becomes so unknown and daunting. The stormtroopers shoved us in, as the large room appeared in front of us. It was vacant with a lack of motion it usually had which terrified me, as I started to tremble.

Josh tilted his head towards me, telling me that it would be all right. As much as I wanted to believe that I could not. I lost too much that I was not prepared to lose. We entered the room, to the end of us and being together. The commander turned around pivoting on his forward foot. I came face-to-face to you him, as we became locked in a death stare. He came closer striking something deep down within me to the point where his breath stung my face with hot air. I held a firm face, trying to keep myself from talking him out. His gloved hand moved towards my chin. He cupped it lifting it up, gently pressing it on my chin. I gritted my teeth holding a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. Josh got a feral look in his eyes as he restrained himself from rushing up to me. I glanced down letting my eyes fall relaxing as he swiped his hand away causing a pressurized feeling on the bottom of my chin. The warmth I had once felt only seconds ago was replaced with a piercing cold that was causing my insides to clinch together.

"What a beauty."

He spoke harshly with no ounce of emotion emanating.

"Know I know why you would betray the Empire."

"Don't touch her!"

Josh spat out, locking his eyes with the commander. He backed away from me heading towards the center of the room, where everything became clear. I was now able to see stormtroopers lining the room with a group of them around the commander that stood front and center.

"The two of you are deemed traitors of the empire for conspiring and assisting the rebellion, therefore one of you will be executed as and example".

I breathed out heavily allowing my nostrils to flare up. My I twitched under pressure, I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting any of this to be real. I desperately wanted to fade into the oblivion behind me. I opened them, preparing to let go of this life and him. The bottom of my lip quivered. My eyes became heavy and I felt them full of cold water, my insides were screaming.
The one that I loved stood beside me, I swallowed causing a lump in my throat making my speech barely audible. I looked in those ocean eyes, blinking back the tears that wanted to pour. I was saying goodbye to him and I knew that was the end was near end it would come whether I wanted it or not. I glanced back, turning my head towards the commander. "Kill me instead, leave him alone." I spoke fiercely getting my point across which in return caught his attention. He walked up to me.

"A brave attempt but foolish."

His word slurred at the end of the sentence to emphasize his discontent in my words.
