I don't know what to do. I can't think straight. I didn't want to talk to anyone. My best friend. My trustworthy friend. The girl I leaned on when times got tough was gone. She had been seduced to the Dark Side. I have always been worried about this but I was confident it wouldn't happen. Now it's clear I was wrong.

"Han I don't wanna talk right now." I said. Han was on the other side of my closed bedroom door. He had been trying to talk to me all week but I just shut him out.

"Please Sweetheart, let me in." Han said. I wanted to let him in. I wanted to feel safe in his arms but I was to worried. I still decided to let him in though.

I stood up and went over to unlock the door. Han had started walking away but when I opened the door he ran over to comfort me. He put his arms around me and we sat in the bed. He was holding me tightly in his arms.

"You've been crying haven't you?" He said sincerely.

"Well you might be a little messed up if your best friend betrayed you." I told him.

"My best friend is you and I know you wouldn't do that. Forget about Rea right now. Let's do something tonight. Let me take you out." Han said.

"I guess a little fun couldn't hurt." I said with a small smile.

"That's my girl. I'll start flying us to Corellia and you get ready, okay." Han said.

"Okay." I replied. He left a quick kiss on my forehead and headed out. I put on my black ripped jeans and I blue shirt and of course my combat boots. A little while later I had successfully put on my makeup and we had arrived at Corellia. I headed to meet Han in the cockpit.

"For once can you leave your blaster and lightsaber in the Falcon?" Han said with a smirk.

"This coming from the guy who said it never hurts to have a blaster at your side. I think I'll keep it on." I replied smirking.

"There was a reason I fell in love with you and your sarcasm is definitely part of it." He said. We walked hand in hand towards the main city.

That's when I saw her. Rea was here. She was grabbing some of her old things. I told Han to stay behind. I started walking towards her.

"Rea!" I yelled.

"What! You decide to talk to me?" She said coldly.

"This isn't you Rea. You know it. Find the real you." I said. We were standing a pretty good distance away from each other. Her hand reached inside her jacket and pulled out her lightsaber. Then she ignited it. The lightsaber beamed a red light which shocked me.

"Rea you have officially turned." I said. I couldn't believe my best friend had done this.

"It's not Rea. It's Darth Ira." She said with gritted teeth. "I've waited for this day. You will crash and burn."

"How did us against the world become you against me!" I yelled. Crowds of Corellians gathered along the sides of the street. Rea and I led Corellia but now I'm not so sure. I reached down at my thigh and pulled out my lightsaber. It glowed a blue light.

Then Rea charged. The battle had begun. I was fighting my best friend. The one who was like a sister to me. That was long gone now.

She still wasn't as strong but she was pretty close. She wasn't quick enough on her feet. When she swung at me I dodged easily. Sometimes she wasn't so lucky.

When we backed away for a bit we saw each others. I had burns on my should and on my wrist. Then I saw I had burned her on her side which she was clutching now.

"I don't like fighting you. Just leave now and no one has to get hurt anymore." I said.

"Oh really." She said. She was standing close to Han. While we were battling we had switched sides. Han had his blaster ready but it wouldn't do much. That's when it happened. Rea plunged her lightsaber into Han's chest.

"Han! What have you done!" I said. Rea then ran over back to her original side. Medics had already gotten to Han because he helped me run Corellia so he was important. He was rushed to the hospital.

"Now you know I mean business." She said with gritted.

"I know something and it sure isn't that. You backstabbing traitor." I said. Then I ran at her and stabbed her with my lightsaber before she could block it.

"This isn't over." She said. Then she hurried to her ship clutching her stomach.

I fell to the ground on my knees. A few tears rolled down my cheeks.

What did I just do?
