It's fine, Leila had said. It's fine. I kept repeating those words in my head to calm myself as I walked throughout the room.

"Leila are you sure...," I said.

"Like I said, it's fine," those two words again. I kept walking, following Leila through the room.

"What are we doing in here anyways?" I asked.

"You'll see," Leila said.  

No, I would like to know now. I thought. I kept it to myself from fear of Leila getting angry. And we all now that is not pretty. I kept walking repeating those two words in my head. It's fine, I told myself. It's fine. Is it really fine? I thought. Is it really fine?

"Leila...," I called after her.

"Shhh...," she said holding a finger up to me.

"But," I said taking a step closer.

"Shhh...," she said with more force this time. I froze and kept quiet. I heard a noise coming from the corner of the room. Me and Leila both bolted our heads in the direction the noise had come from. She took a step closer and i did the same. We eventually made our way over to where the noise was. A wail came from behind a machine.

"What?" Leila said under her
Breath. She reached down and pulled the machine back. It was Chewbacca! He was hiding behind the machine!

"How'd?" I started. Chewie wailed.

"They found him on Tatooine," Leila said looking back at me. Chewie stood up and brushed himself off.

"Come in," I said starting to walk away. "We should get back now."

We all sneaked around through the ship a little longer until we finally made it back to the flight deck. Ships were flying around everywhere. It looked like the First Order was about to attack. I hoped they were not going to attack Endor, I thought. I tossed the thought to the side and kept moving. We crept over to where they had been keeping the Millennium Falcon. Chewie wailed when we got up to it exited to be back.

"Shh," Leila snapped at him. She motioned for us to come foward and we all boarded the ship. Leila ran up to the cockpit and lifted the ship into the air. The sirens sounded even louder now and Leila pulled a lever. We bolted out of the Starkiller Base and into space. The First Order's tie fighters were still following us.

"Go down to the gun hole!" Leila shouted from the cockpit. I did as told and hopped into the chair. "Get ready," she shouted.
