Rey and Ben are five years apart in my story, with that being said; Ben was still concieved soon after the battle of Endor and Rey five years later. There for, she lived with Luke up until she was 11, and when her and kylo ren meet for the first time he is 30 she is 25. (If Adam Driver is even supposed to be 30 years old in TFA)

For every few chapters I'll upload an intro, preferably when many years have passed so look out for that and just pretend its scrolling up, like in the movies. It's going to seem a little silly at first because I'm centering my story on little kids meanwhile, you know you're topical Skywalker-Solo family drama is happening and causing turmoil in the galaxy—again so just keep that in mind for the story's sake.

P.s. Melina will be Rey's mother, aka Felicity Jones who I suspect to be Lukes sugar mama so... I just want you to picture that. She'll probably pop out much later though so... Here we go!

••••Blood That The Force Bound••••

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

It's been years since the empire was defeated but scattered enemies of the new republic have fled across the galaxy in an attempt to rise from the Death Stars ashes.

A mysterious leader guides the resisting enemies from a planet distant to the battles in Quiltic System where Han Solo, General Leia Organa and Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker are all ready to lead the New Republics battle forces to victory.

Reyna pursed her lips, holding back her urge to cry.

"There is no emotion, there is only peace"

She recited outloud and in thought. She felt serenity sweep onto her as she crawled away from the puddle she'd been sitting in. Her cloths clung tight around her body as she got up and tried to feel the force around her. She shook off the fear that her mother might have heard her... She knew how much she hated the recited words her father had taught her.

Reyna felt for the boy who'd pushed her and felt him to be in the place he spent most his time at. She looked on to her cousin Ben and smiled at him as he came into sight atop a tree. Ben quickly scowled and turned away. She'd never thought to be hated by anyone, even less her only cousin but here was this angry, much older boy who's glare could burn right through her if he'd just turned to her.

Ben was angry, he usually was whenever Reyna was near, he used to get away with everything, even when he'd get caught but things had changed as soon as Reyna had turned three. She'd ratted him out multiple times and had managed to get him punished even more.

Reyna faced Ben with a sad and soaked face caused by him force pushing her into the small puddle. She began speaking through soft sobs that he could tell she refused to grow stronger,

"I won't tell mother or father... Or even aunt Leia. But, tell me why do you hate me? I only want to be your friend. I know I've told on you lotsa times but it's because I want to be friends with the good Ben."

Ben remembered all the things he'd ever done that'd got him in trouble, before Reyna's birth they were to be funny, to make those he cared about laugh, and they often worked except for a few times when he crossed the line. Even after Reyna's birth, he realized, he wanted to make those around him laugh, he'd done it even more to make Reyna laugh, and when she was still a baby it had worked, soft jokes hitting this and that on the head, making someone or another fall. And then she'd grown up, and had stopped laughing at his jokes and shed made everyone stop laughing along with her. He glanced at her, she was soaking wet and her clothes were darker and tainted with mud,

"There is no good Ben. That is why we can't manage to be friends."

Ben scoffed at her before continuing on bitterly,

"My mother won't be here soon enough for you anyway. Neither will your father."

Ben realized as he had been remembering, he'd stopped making everyone laugh because more often then not, when Reyna was smaller, he'd play his practical jokes on those around them both who were usually family. His family had gone from being the audience to the cast of his shows for her without ever being asked. And for a reason he couldn't explain he looked at her and spoke,

"You are my only cousin. And I loved you dearly when you were born, I spent all my time with you."

He stopped a second noticing his throat was knotting, and he had caught her undivided attention.

"I do not hate you. But I am a long way from loving you how I used to."

"Does it make you sad?"

Reyna said, almost pressing her luck. Ben looked at her confused, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Your mother... Aunt Leia... That you think she won't-"

Ben frowned and glared as her.

Reynas eyebrows knitted in dismay and went back to the previous topic, "I can't remember when I was smaller but I know that bond is not gone. Father told me we all have strong force bonds because of our blood-"

"And that's all you feel, the blood inside us playing its tricks."

Reyna shook her head,

"That's not true. I know. Our bond feels just like Aunt Leias and fathers."

It was true, and Ben could only deny it outloud to her but never really convince himself of it. Those three years of laughing were not gone but he couldn't forget that neither were these 2 bitter last years. Reyna was strong in the force for her age, her power could easily be matched with his dispite it.

"I'm sorry. There? Are you happy? Leave."

Reyna opened her mouth to object but realized she didn't want to disturb him anymore. She began to turn but stopped to say something else instead

"I forgive you cousin Ben, so please forgive me too. I love you very much."

Ben watched her go and felt a twinge of guilty pull at his chest as she disappeared in the distance.

••••Author's Note••••

This is my first published work on any website and currently the only place you'll find my writing, so no need to kind, just be honest in critique.

So sorry about not being descriptive about scenery or emotions or even doing too well in grammar and spelling. I promise I'll improve with ongoing pressure!

I may have made them seem wise above their years with their speech and sometimes action due to their force sensitivity and their interaction limited to adults but I figured it'd make the story flow better.

Please be sure to leave a review, so I know people are reading. I have written up to the ending however there are always holes in time to be filled so let me know if you have suggestions for that and where you'd like the story to head.

I despise when people don't finish their stories and leave them incomplete so please let me know there's interest, even if it's just one of you... Please XD

May the force be with you.
