First multi-chapter story in years…hopefully I will actually finish this one. Hi there, Star War fans! It's me…this person you have never met, but also maybe somewhat equally loves Star Wars. I don't know. You might love it more than me, and that is completely possible. I hope you enjoy this story! As of right now there are 14 chapters planned (we'll see how that goes) and an Epilogue chapter. This story will contain mature themes such as swearing, torture, nudity, sexual themes, and rape. If this makes you uncomfortable I will put a warning at the beginning of each chapter that contains things of a sexual nature. However, I don't know why you are reading M rated stuff if you don't want to read that. It is a little AU since I didn't like that the killed Snoke off (or did they?!), so I brought him back…sorta. I'm saying the Destruction of the Jedi happened in 30 ABY to make my story line work, so there are 4 years between that and the Force Awakens. Without further delay, here is Finding Balance!

Disclaimers: I own nothing except the characters that I create. Disney owns everyone else.


It started like it always does.

The force has become unbalanced.

There must be balance.

At any cost.


Disturbance

Evangeline sat in front of the stone altar meditating. Trying to find balance. However, she only found the ever-shifting tides of the battle of light and dark. She was unable to right it. There was too much dark, and she couldn't find the means to bring the light back. Her light brown hair flowed down to the small of her back, and swayed gently with the breeze. Sweat beads roll down her brow. A sudden bang caused her eyes to flash open. One eye is an ice blue while the other was deep brown. She stood, turned around grabbing a small orb that glowed black and white that sat on the altar, and quickly descended the stairs. She felt the disturbance. She knew who was here.

She quickly ran to her chambers gathering supplies into a small bag. She wrapped the orb in fabric, and placed it gently underneath everything. Finally, she ran down the hall where she shook a young boy lightly.

"Little one, I need to you sit up," She grabs a small coat off a hook.

"Mama, what's happening?" The boy gently rubs his eyes

"Don't worry, my little lamb, I just need you to get your coat on. No need to wake too much," she smiles at him, and runs her fingers through his thick locks. He groggily obeys her request, but quickly falls asleep when his coat is on. They were getting closer. Evangeline quickly jots down a note, and places it in the bag. She quickly bundles up the small boy in his blankets with his stuffed animal, and heads further down the hallway. With a press of a button and small hiss, a door opens to an escape pod placed here under the strict orders that it only be used for an emergency. Evangeline got the boy situated inside as gently as possible, but still his little brown eyes fluttered open.

"Where are we going, Mama?"

"You are going somewhere safe, my sweet," confusion began to etch on the young boy's face, but it quickly morphed into terror.

"Mama, why aren't you coming with me?!" He starts to struggle against the seat restraints. Evangeline kneels in front of him, taking his face into her hands, halting his struggles for a moment.

"I will see you again, don't worry. Remember I am always with you, but I need to make sure you are safe," she hears yelling approaching the temple, "and right now, little one, that is not here and it is not with me. Remember to stay in the pod after you land, and don't touch the orb." As tears begin to form in her eyes, Evangeline takes off a necklace with a green crystal on it that has hung close to her heart for many years from a love long gone, and places it around his neck. "Take this and remember that I am always with you in the Force." She places one final kiss on his head as he begins to cry and plead with her, and his struggles to get free become more violent. With one more push of a button, the pod seals, muffling the boy's screams, and with another push the pod vanishes. Evangeline lets out a strangled cry. She knows he is safe from detection because of the cloaking and that he will be found because of its beacon, but that doesn't stop the pain in her heart or the tears from falling.

There are loud bangs coming from the temple doors. It was time. Evangeline steeled herself, and walked calmly back into the main chamber. Bits of stone fly by her, and the metal doors banged open loudly. A small contingent of about ten Stormtroopers file in followed by a man dressed all in black with striking red hair.

"General Hux," Evangeline looked at the man approaching her. He looks at her with a dumbfounded expression.

"How dare you address a general of the First Order before he has spoken," He raises a hand and slaps her across the face, violently.

"You are in my home, General, it only seems polite to address you." Evangeline looks back up at him, a small trickle of blood runs from the corner of her mouth. Hux quickly grabs her chin, holding it firmly.

"I don't know how you knew my name. I don't know how you knew we were here. I also don't know what the Supreme Leader wants with you, girl, but I would hate to ruin your beautiful face before I get it in front of him." Hux pushes Evangeline back causing her to lose her footing and fall.

"Search the place for the artifact, cuff her, and bring her to the ship." Hux barked at the Stormtroopers as he walked away with his hands laced behind his back. Two Stormtroopers hurry up to Evangeline and pull her violently off the floor before cuffing her hands in front of her. Evangeline offers no resistance. To fight against the First Order now would only cause her great strife. As the troopers lead her out of the temple grounds, she looked up towards the sky. Closing her eyes, she let out a silent plea for the Force to keep her son safe.


Phew that's done! Chapter 1 is in the bag. I hope you liked it! So until next time, please R&R! Encourage me. Discourage me. Tell me what I did wrong. I accept all forms, but be gentle...I am fragile.

May the Force Be with You!
