A/N: This is a fanfiction. I am aware we are not sure of what actually happened or the exact ages of the characters of when the Jedi massacre occurred so this is only my interpretation and creation of it for this story only. Thank you, and may the force be with you!


Luke didn't have time to think of a solution. The sounds of guns firing and muffled screams rang through his ears, he knew they were coming for him as well. Luke would give himself in if it meant to save his innocent trainees, his youngest ones overall. But he knew it wasn't only him they wanted, this was looking like a massacre, a Jedi massacre. R2-D2 stood silently beside Luke, who had everything begin to dawn on him. He had let down Yoda, his wishes of a new Jedi generation, gone in the most gruesome manner, in the hands of his own blood.

His thoughts were immediately interrupted at the sound of footsteps approaching closely to him and R2-D2. Was it time for his end?

"M-master Luke?" The voice sprang Luke's eyes to face the sight of one his last remaining Jedi.

"Kaia," Luke reached out to the young female, hopefully pulling her out of sight of the Knights of Ren, "I need you to listen to me, like you always have. I'm going to get you out of here. You need to trust me."

"I always have, Master Skywalker. Apparently you're the only person I can." Luke had hoped none of his young Jedi had the knowledge of his nephew's eventual downfall, but he isn't surprised Kaia was the one to know. She was one of his highest Jedi, and his nephew was well aware of it. Which begged the question why she wasn't the first Ben went towards.

Luke wasn't complaining though, he was relieved Kaia had hidden from the eyes of his nephew and his accomplices. He had built a bond with the young Jedi. Luke appreciated all of his students equally, but Kaia had strength and courage that radiated off of her that made her Luke's view of her different from the others. Almost in a family way, not as a sister, but as a daughter. Kaia didn't know what it felt like to have a father, being abandoned at such a young age and brought to training when found. But if she were to guess how it was, it'd be the way she sees her teacher, Luke Skywalker.

"Kaia, I'm sorry that you had to witness this. I know you know that this was in the hands of Ben-"

"No. I'm sorry to defy you Master Luke, but that isn't Ben. Not anymore."


"Luke, this isn't your fault. I should have never sent him away, it only made it worse." Leia looked onto her brother, who looked absolutely destroyed. She felt the same, but Leia refused to let it show for Luke's sake.

"I tried Leia, I really did. I let you down, I let Han down. Yoda, Kenobi, my Jedi students." Leia followed Luke's broken gaze, landing on his last remaining Jedi student who slept only a few feet away. She could see it, she could feel his bond with Kaia. "No you didn't Luke. This wasn't your fault, Ben just had too much Vader in him. You didn't let any of us down, much less Kaia. Luke, she needs of your help now more than ever."

"I know she does, Leia. And I will give her just that." Luke left his sister's side to walk towards a sleeping Kaia. The thought of her having to deal with the trauma of seeing Ben, someone she had once seen as a friend, murder her peers she had come to cherish made the guilt worse on Luke. He couldn't permit it.

As Luke was about to lay two fingers on her forehead, Kaia's eyes slowly began to open. He saw it in her eyes, she was terrified, and it killed his conscience even more. When it looked that she was about to speak, Luke didn't let her.

"Kaia, my young Jedi. I promised that you were going to be okay. Now, you have to promise me one thing."

"Of course, anything Master Luke."

"Promise me you'll always be the strong and courageous student of mine no matter what. Even if I am not here to guide you." Kaia's look went from terrified to worried. She knew the feeling of abandonment, and she couldn't help it radiate off Luke. Kaia wanted to question her teacher about it, but she decided against it. He had gone through enough and she was no one to question him about it. Instead, she slightly pulled on a smile in hopes to calm his guilt down, because she could feel it as well.

"I promise." Luke was also somehow able to make a small smile as well for his student, who slightly closed her eyes as he lay his hand on top her head gently to muffle her hair.

His hand then went down to the middle of her forehead, gently pressing his index fingers. Moments later he felt her body go weak, Luke settling her back down to her bed.

"You'll be alright, Kaia Nawobi. I believe in you, even though you won't remember me believing in you." Luke knew using the memory rub on one his most beloved Jedi students wasn't the best thing to do, but he knew it had to be done. It was the only way to keep Kaia protected from his nephew's rage, protected from the seeming Jedi curse.

Kaia wouldn't remember being a Jedi.

Kaia wouldn't remember the force.

Kaia wouldn't remember Luke.

But most importantly, she wouldn't remember Ben Solo


prays I don't get killed* okay so this is a start I hope! I can't wait for you guys to get to know Kaia, keep in mind she's still pretty young but not sure how young since we have no idea how old Kylo was as well when it occurred or how far apart it was for the TFA events. Let's just go with that she ain't a kid but she isn't an adult either, alright! I hope you guys enjoyed this little thing, by the next chapter we shall enter the TFA timeline. I hope to get some reviews/votes/etc. May the force be with you all my readers.
