Story taking place right after the events of the last Jedi.

He stared heavily into the wall where just moments ago Rey had closes the doors to the Falcon. Sadness, loneliness, and anger…more anger overcame him. He stormed into the hanger where Hux was standing.

" Well Ren their gone, you let your personal ambition get in the way of ending the last of the the resistance!" Hux yelled not caring what Kylo Ren would do to him. Ren wanting to choke him stopped himself. He knew if he kept doing this he would push Hux even closer to turning on him.

"How are the ships looking?" Ignoring Huxs statement. Hux taken back by his actions.

" We only have one ship left and it needs to be repaired. We need to set up base to recover our resources. Also we should be reaching out to the other fleets to spread out." Kylo Ren nodded agreeing for once with him. " Then do it" he said in a harsh tone. He walked away into one of the caverns igniting his lightsaber. The crackle echoed around him as he slashed the rock into pieces. How could he have failed he thought, everything was in place for it to go his way. He stopped and looked had what his lightsaber had created.

The girl...Rey if she had just let go of it all. If he had just sensed the lack of Luke's physical presents. Hux was right he had let his ambition in the way. Ren sunk to his knees not able to think or feel. Why did he let this girl effect him so, and why even after Snoke being dead was he able to still see her. What did their connection mean. What was the force trying to do.

"Everyone is safe" said one of the resistance members. Rey nodded and took them out of hyperspace to conserve fuel. She looked over to Chewbacca and put her hand on his arm. He lost another friend. " I'm sorry Chewie.*she sighed* I feel as if I have disturbed your life and made a mess of it. This was never your fight. If there is anywhere you want to go I would understand." Chewbacca looked at her with sadness in his eye, with his other hand he gently placed it on her arm. He roared whispered whimpers as he tilted his head at her. Then he let out a playful roar.

Rey smiled, " Well of course I would miss you, and it would be very hard to replace Chewie." Rey stands, " Lets find somewhere to refuel and head back to Ahch-To. I know there isn't much there but at least it's somewhere out of sight from the First Order. Also I'm sure the caretakers won't be much thrilled that I'm returning." She scoffed and Chewie nodded a roar. " I'm headed to the main hold want anything?" he shaked his head. Rey turned right into Poe.

" Rey, Leia wants to speak with you in the crew's quarters." she slowly nodded, she wasn't ready to see Leia. Rey know that she would want to know everything that happened; and she knew she just wasn't ready to share her defeat with her son… Ben.

As she walked down the hall she could feel everyone; it felt as if she were in a wade of different emotions. As she drew closer to Leia the mood shifted to. Rey poked her head around the corner seeing Leia sitting on the edge of the bed. " Rey? No need to worry please come sit with me." she patted the next to her. Rey walked up and sat next to her looking straight into Leia's eyes. Before she could let Leia speak Rey cleared her throat. " Chewie is going to take us back to Ahch-To to recover. There is no radios or extra ships. Well there's not really much of anything, but it's a place to hide. Once everyone is on the island Chewie and I will fly back out to get supplies. I only know of one ally. Her name is Maz, she helped Finn and Han get BB-8 to you. If I could-" Leia put her hand put up cutting Rey off.

" Rey, dear stop for just a moment. You saved us, I have no doubt that Chewie will do everything that needs to be done. But you, Rey you must rest. I sense that you have not stopped since you left your home." Leia touched Rey's cheek." I'm sorry that you have had to grow so fast. You are barley an adult, and already have suffered great loss. I… well I just want to say that I understand. When I was young I had to watched Darth Vader destroy my home planet. Just know that I am here to listen. Of course I would love to know what happened while you were away but I can also see in your eyes that you are not ready." Rey breathed a sigh of relief at Leia's words.

"Thank you, I don't know how to feel about some of what happened. It was all so fast that now thinking back on it...it confuses me even more. Luke wasn't at all what I expected, he was a scared, broken man when we first met. I almost wondered if I had found the right man. He was hesitant of me the whole time I was there. I wished I had left him better than I had."

Leia raised her eyebrow. " You mean what happened on Crait was not your plan? Where did you go after you left Luke?" Rey realizing her words she had to explain to Leia now what happened. Why Luke and her didn't come together or sooner for that matter.

" When I was on the island with Luke he agreed to show me the ways of the force. During such I had moments almost like visions but real. Moments with your son Ben." Leia was staring at Rey with confusion not understanding what she was talking about. " We were connected and able to speak to one another. While one of our moments I had sensed conflict in him. A pull to the light…" she trailed off watching Leais face.

"But you weren't able to turn him were you.?"

" Not completely no. But Ben is in there somewhere! If he wasn't he wouldn't have killed Snoke!" Leia's eye got wide with this news.

" He killed Snoke do they know he did that?" Only fear and concern washed her face.

" I don't believe so or they wouldn't have followed him. Do you think that they would turn on him if they knew it was him?" Now Rey was concerned, but why. He chose his path he didn't want to be pulled to the light. He refused her how could she care what happened to him now. Then her words came back to her Ben was in there somewhere. Leia almost sensing Rey's mind trying tp put it at ease.

"Hope is a funny thing."
