Torn Apart

Prologue

I'm total Kylo Ren trash now....

"Leia, the Force is strong with Ben," Luke whispered as the celebration of the Battle of Endor continued around them. "He could be the piece that brings balance. He could lead the group of new Jedi order."

Leia looked grim. She knew that her brother was right but she didn't want him to be right at the expense of her son.

"Absolutely not," Han interrupted her thoughts. "C'mon Leia, you can't seriously be considering this. He's barely old enough to strap up his own boots and you're thinking of sending him away alone..."

"He won't be alone," Luke said firmly. "There are many others..."

"You can't take him," Han pressed "You can't do it without our permission. He's not just some pet that you can take to another planet and train to do your will. He's your nephew...he's my son."

"He wants to go. It's his dream to be a Jedi," Leia replied "Maybe..."

Han looked at his wife incredulously. "I can't believe you're considering this. The fight is over. Why can't we just enjoy the peace we have?"

"Peace?" Leia cried "The First Order is amassing forces as we speak. They are in every corner of the galaxy."

"Then let the Republic handle it," Han said taking his wife's hands. "We don't need to sacrifice anymore. We've already done so much."

"The Republic is in denial," Luke replied, his serene blue eyes intent on his best friend. "We need the Jedi to fight this threat."

"Not with my son you don't," Han said in a low growl.

"Han.."Leia said calmly.

He looked at his wife. "You can't do this, Leia. Please."

Her mind was already made up. He could see it on her face. She was siding with her brother.

"I've got a bad feeling about this, Leia," he said hoarsely.

"It will be fine, Han," she tried to sooth.

"No..I don't think so...I don't think so at all."
