Alone
Kylo Ren reached out for Rey as he was wont to do. She hardly ever returned the favor. As he felt himself enter her sphere, he noticed something was amiss. "Rey," he whispered, when he saw her bleeding, pale, lying on the ground. There was wreckage all around her. A steady rain smothered the last smoke.
"Rey, this can't…" he said, "You can't…" He touched her hand, enveloped her wrist. There was but a faint beat.
"Ben," she chocked. "You mustn't… Don't…" Her breathing became shallow.
"It wasn't me," he said, "but I will find who did this. They will pay."
Her lip trembled as she replied: "Ben, I won't be there to stop you. That task is up to you now."
Rey grew cold under his touch. All he could do was hold her hand as she faded away.
