Captured(Alex)
Solo returned after a bit carrying a young girl over his shoulder with her arms and legs flaying about wildly, in his other hand a carried a basket containing berries and nuts. The girl’s dark hair tumbled in an unruly mess down over her face, obscuring her features from the other members of the part. A stream of profanities and ill wishes issued forth from her with such vehemence that on occasion caused Solo to wince as if he had been slapped in the face.
“Here you go, Captain’” and he dumped the girl unceremoniously to the ground with a thud.
“Well, I never…” began the girl but she was quickly silenced by one of Solo’s large hands covering her mouth.
“I’ve heard about enough out of you, missy. Now why don’t you be a good girl and tell us where you’re from and what you’re doing out here all alone.”
The three men stared down at the girl (Chewie was still searching the water) with a patient but stern look upon their faces. Luke noticed that Solo had several scratches and bite marks on his hands and arms and even a few on his neck and face. “She give you a hard time, Solo.” He chided nodding towards one of the wounds that the big fellow was rubbing on.
“She may be little but she’s all hellcat.” He said in way of explanation even though his cheeks and neck turned a bright red.
“All right, miss, why don’t you answer our questions nice like, and we’ll have you on your way if we see you’re no threat to us.”
The girl stared up at the men, fire shown in her eyes and her jaw flexed in anger.
Luke smiled at the girl’s defiance; he could easily snap her scrawny neck if he chose to do so. “You are indeed a “hellcat” aren’t you? Let me put it this way, if you don’t answer our questions then I’ll be forced to take you with us or just kill you. Your choice.”
The girl thought for a moment then agreed to answer their questions.
“Alright, we’ll start with something easy” began Luke, “what is your name?”

Alex finally made it to the shore and stealthily made her way to the protection of some nearby brush. Feeling confident that she was well hidden, she closed her eyes so that her other senses could better tell her what was going on around her. She could hear the splashing of water as the big hairy fella searched in vain for another person, she could smell rain that would be arriving before the sun went down, and feel the gentle breeze on her wet skin. By steadying her breathing she was able to pick up bits and pieces of conversation from the men by the lake. All though she could not see her she knew that they had found Evilin and that she was being her usual stubborn self. Alex felt the forest floor around her in search of some kind of weapon; she was quickly rewarded by a thick stick and a good size rock. Clutching these to her she waited to either be discovered or for the opportunity to rescue her friend.
