So we were in trouble now. Ben had just tricked us and now we were being held in cells. Finally some troopers came to get me. He said Ben wanted to see me. They held me tightly when they walked me to the interrogating room. I guess they were scared of me. I could've attacked them and won but I wanted to hear what Ben had to say.

A short while later I was strapped to a long table thing. Then after a few minutes Ben came into the room.

"I finally have you. Your were always the one that I wanted. You are a smart and powerful Jedi. You make the smart moves and wise decisions. I didn't care about the others. I just needed to make sure you were dead. I will be the one to kill you but not before you watch the others suffer." Ben said.

"Ben why are you doing this-?" I tried to say but he cut me off.

"MY NAME IS NOT BEN! It's Kylo Ren!" He shouted.

Then before I knew it he had me in a force choke and couldn't do anything. He soon let me go and let me out of the restraint thing. He still put chain cuffs around my wrist so I couldn't try and fight him off. I was led into a bigger room and I saw Rea, Han, and Anakin all tied up. They looked pretty beat up. It hurt me to see them like this. Plus the fact that it was all my fault. I wonder if he would just keep me and let the others go. I was willing to do that for my friends.

I stood by a group of troopers that were ready to shoot me if I tried to do anything. Ben walked over to my friends. He gave a small lightsaber burn to each of them on theirs arms. They were already in enough pain so they yelped when the lightsaber hit them. He did this 3 more times and I couldn't stand to watch anymore.


"Stop! Just stop hurting them! Why are you doing this?" I yelled. I had tears in my eyes. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry but I had to be strong.

"You deserve to watch this?" Ben yelled.

"What did I ever do to you!" Ben said.

"My dream was to become one of the most respected Jedi at the academy but you took that away from me. No one cared what I did. It was just about what you and Rea did. It was all about you two." Ben said. I could tell he was very angry now.

"Just take me. I'm the one you want. Take me and let them go." I said. I stood firmly not showing any weakness.

"Your willing to do that. Sacrifice yourself for them. You may never see them again." Ben said.

"No Leila you can't. What if we don't see you again!" Rea said.

"Don't do this Leila, please." Han said.

"Well what is your answer?" Ben said impatiently.

"Yes. Take me let them go." I said. Then my friends were led out of the room. It hurt me to leave them but I had to do this. I would see them again just I had a feeling it would be a long time.
