Chapter One: Darth Vader


"Forgive me." Kylo Ren said. The sound echoed through his own personal chambers. Kylo sat with his head down and with his hands clasped together. "I feel it again." Kylo pauses, "the pull to the light."

Anakin Skywalker appears before his grandson and watches and listens to Kylo Ren, or Ben as Anakin prefers to call him, ask for his guidance. No. He was asking for the guidance of Darth Vader.

"Please no Ben." Anakin walks closer to his grandson and tried to place a hand on this shoulder, but it past straight through. He never wanted his mistakes as a Sith Lord to come back on his family. He had hoped with his passing that the Skywalkers could live in peace. But now, his family stood more divided than ever. His daughter, Leia, was leading the Resistance. His 'son-in-law', Han, was somewhere in the galaxy. His son, Luke, was had exiled himself on Ahch-To. And finally his own grandson, Ben or Kylo Ren, was in the depths of Snoke's ranks and the leader of the Knights of Ren.

"Supreme Leader senses it." Kylo was disappointment to the legacy of Darth Vader. Darth Vader's loyalty to the Dark Side never wavered. Kylo felt like his very soul was being torn apart; on one side was the light, desperately trying to break free of the grasp on the dark. And on the other stood the dark, desperately trying to stamp out any light trying to break its way through.

"You are strong Ben." Anakin knelt in front of Kylo, even though Kylo couldn't see him. "Come back to the light. We will not hold any judgement towards you." Anakin attempted to place his hand on Kylo's knee, but ultimately failed as it passed through his grandson's knee.

"Show me again," Kylo pleaded to his grandfather. "The power of the darkness, and I will let nothing stand in our way." Anakin furiously shook his head. He never wanted this for his grandson. He only wanted him to live a free life. Whether that meant following in his father's, mother's or uncle's footsteps. But defiantly not and never his own.

"Ben Solo! You will listen to me when I say stop!" Anakin desperately called out to Kylo. But it was pointless Kylo couldn't hear him.

"Show me, Grandfather, and I will finish what you started."

Anakin felt like he had be doused in ice cold water. He had finished what he had started a long time ago. Although Anakin was at peace with himself, he never felt proud of what he completed as Darth Vader. He had killed his master without hesitation. Even when his own master came to talk some sense into him. Anakin watched as his only grandson stood up and made his way out of his chambers. "No! Ben! Come back! I promise you I can help you! I can show you the way of the light!" Anakin yelled after Kylo. But like before, Kylo Ren couldn't hear him.

Anakin collapsed on the floor and started to sob for his lost grandson. Obi-Wan appeared next to him. "How did you deal with me as a Sith?" Anakin turned to question Obi-Wan.

"I didn't." Obi-Wan replied almost instantly. "It was hard to think that my apprentice had turned to the dark side." Anakin stood back up and looked with at his old master. "I hoped every day that you would see reason and come back to the light. And it eventually happened." Obi-Wan smiled at the memory of Anakin joining both Yoda and himself as a force ghost.

"What if he never turns?" Anakin worries over Kylo.

"Have faith in your grandson." Obi-Wan gave Anakin a knowing look and disappears.

"If only if it were that easy."


A/N: I saw a post on tumblr that the pull that Kylo Ren (Ben) feels towards to the light side is Anakin trying to pull him back.

I decided to attempt to write a little story for this idea. The chapters will be quite short and cover scenes from both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. So there will be possible spoilers for the new movie. But I will mark the chapters if they do contain major spoilers from the movie.

This is the first time that I'm writing for the Star Wars fandom so I apologise if anything is wrong. The next chapter should be up in the next few days. The chapters probably won't follow the movie order of events. There will jumps.
