There it was. The guy I loved covered in scars and scratches. Wounds and blood. It looked like some savage beast attacked him. That beast was Snoke. I was on my knees crying.

"You can still save him. You might want to hurry. He might not live much longer." Snoke said with a laugh.

This brought the flame into me. My blue eyes turned a stone grey. Everyone in the room saw my anger. They raised their weapons. I took out my lightsaber and they realized that they were no match for me. Before I knew it everyone in the room was dead. What had I done. The image of Han was still showing. I was determined to save him.

"What do I do?" I asked.

"Meet us in the carbon freezing chamber by dawn." He said with a cold voice. The image of Han had disappeared.

"Give me Han and I will." I said with a cracking voice.

"As you wish." Snoke said.

And with that his image disappeared and Han was thrown into the room along with Rea who followed.

"Han! Rea!" I yelled as I ran towards them.

Han looked in pretty bad shape but Rea looked fine.

"I'm gonna look around a bit." Rea said. She walked out the room.

"Han. I'm sorry. This is my fault." I said through tears.

"Don't...apologize. There... is nothing you could've done." Han said. He could barely talk.

I cried even harder. He took my head and laid it on his shoulder.

"Leila you can't give in to them." Han said.

"I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me. So I have to. I have to protect my family. No one should have to suffer because of my mistakes." I said still crying.

"Leila. Please don't." Han said. His eyes looked as if they were gonna cry but he held back the tears.

"I have to Han. I love you but I have to do this. I don't want to but if I don't they will hurt my family. Then I have no reason to live. Why not suffer now when I would end up having to later." I told him.

He pulled me into a hug and we sat there for a while. Dawn was approaching. My time had come. Han kept telling me over and over again that he loved me. This only made me cry harder. I couldn't believe I would be leaving all of this. I knew this day would come. I had a weakness and Snoke had found it. My family. My willing of self sacrifice. I couldn't help it. I hated seeing people in pain.

That's what will be the death of me. I kept thinking I had reached the end of my road. I didn't want this day to come. Love is what destroys us all at some point. It's what makes my weakness larger. It will kill me. I loved Han. I didn't want to leave him but I knew I had to. Rea was my best friend. I hope she can comfort Han. I guess this is just part of the game we play. Life.

Soon General Hux came to get me. I said my final I love you to Han. He led me to the carbon chamber. I felt horrible leaving Han.

That's just the pain of love.
