This is a Reylo fanfic, with a lot of back story to what I hope/think will happen in the next movie. I don't own any rights to the characters, and the story is all fiction made up from head. I hope you all enjoy!


"So you're the girl, the one they've been talking about." Kylo's words lingered onto her memories, even as she slept. She constantly dreams of the moment they finally met when he froze her with his force power. How powerless she felt because he froze her and studied her. She could feel herself terrified of this man, but somehow sense that she was always meant to know him. In her dreams he walks closer to her, and tells her that he can get what he wants. In that moment his hand reaches out to her face and just as he's about to touch her face, she wakes up. The sweat that went through Rey's body after waking up was from both the terror she felt, and the anticipation of him being there. She knew that she has a formed a connection with Kylo Ren, formerly known as Ben Solo, but still had not learned how to control her connection to him.


It had been a year since she found Luke Skywalker, the last known Jedi, and in that year she's been learning from him the power of the force. He's also told her about her family, and who she really is. The day she met Luke, she didn't know what to think in that moment, but of how happy she was to have found him. The famous and mysterious Luke Skywalker, and she found him. She couldn't help herself, but become emotional at the sight of him. Because of him, BB-8, Finn, Han, Chewy, Leia, Poe, and yes even Kylo Ren had come into her life and completely changed everything she had ever known. She remembers that day perfectly. She had to climb up a huge mountain like cliff, and in those moments she had no idea how Luke was going to look like, but she had the force within her, so she would know who is was the moment she saw him. Then as she had reached the top, there stood before a man with a gray cloak, and then he sensed her presence and turned to face her. He then took down his hood, and there was the face that she had been sent to find. An older man with wise blue eyes, mid-length gray hair, gray mustache and beard, and a face that seen many things in his life. Rey had then taken out his light saber from her bag, and presented it to him in a manner that only he would understand. Tears were starting to swell up from both of their eyes. The emotions that they were both going through in that moment were just so much in that moment, that they both embraced each other with a hug. After holding each other for a few minutes he begins to talk, "Rey, my how you have grown." Rey giving him a somewhat puzzled look asks, "You know who I am?" Luke then begins to walk a few steps behind him, and says, "I've always known who you are Rey, and the person you were meant to become. It's in your blood." A stunned Rey takes a step back to look at him. "You know my family?" Luke turns around to face his back to Rey, and is looking down at a something on the ground. "Come here Rey." As she walks towards Luke she sees what Luke was looking down to, it was a grave stone. The words on the stone were written as…

Obi Wan Kenobi

Jedi Master, friend, mentor, father

Rey had no idea who this dead man was, but then suddenly Luke started to speak. "This was my master. He was a great man, and an even better Jedi. The best Jedi master in all of the galaxy. He was also my father's former master, and fierce friend and protector to my mother when she had been alive. He had been protecting me since the moment I was born and watched over me since he separated my sister and me away from birth afar on the planet of Tatooine." He knelt before the grave stone, and placed his hand on the stone. Rey observed Luke giving what looked like a silent prayer to his friend. "Rey, Obi Wan Kenobi was your grand-father." Rey just continued to stare in awe of what she was hearing, but didn't say a word. "Who is your family Rey, who do you remember before you were sent to Jakku?", asked Luke. Rey was finding it difficult to answer this question, because it was something she's never revealed to anyone. No one had ever cared for Rey for such a long time, that her own personal and lonely memories were hers alone. Yet, here was Luke Skywalker telling her that her grand-father was one of the best Jedi Master to ever exist, so it looked like she had no choice but to answer his question. She was finding it hard to answer, "My family, it's hard to remember them because it has been so long since I remember seeing them." Tears started to stream down her face, because of the realization that she was having a difficult time remembering them. "My mother and father, that all I remember having." She paused to collect her thoughts then continued, "My parents were loving people to me, it's been so long that I can't picture their faces, but my father had green eyes and he always smelled of the ocean. My mother, I'm afraid I only remember her hair, beautiful brown curly hair that she always kept up. I think about wanting to just stroke her hair, and try to picture her face, but it's been many years." Sadness then swept over Rey, because she hadn't thought of parents' features since she was a child. Luke then put a hand on her shoulder. He says, "Rey, your mother was the daughter of Obi Wan Kenobi."

Luke then begins to explain to Rey what was Obi Wan's greatest secret, a family. Having families were strictly forbidden once you began to train as a Jedi. However, while Obi Wan was watching over Luke as he grew up from infancy to a young 19 year old, Obi Wan had found companionship with a beautiful woman named Brehea. They lived their quiet and private life on Tatooine for about 2 years having secretly married, and then having a daughter Flora. Luke then says, "Obi Wan knew that he couldn't protect me and his family while my father was getting more and more powerful, so he sent his wife and daughter to the planet where he grew up, this planet, for their protection." Luke began to pace back and forth to continue with what he was saying. "Brehea raised your mother the best way she could, by being humble, and reminding her that there is light and dark in every person, but it was up to her to make her life the way she would want it. When your mother was growing up that was when she befriended your father Laith, a simple young man who was skilled worker, and as the years passed your mother and father grew to love each other with the love that first loves often have. Your grandmother died a few years after your grandfather passed away, and your mother and father had you about five years after my sister Leia and Han had Ben." Rey was taking all of this information in silence, but Luke could sense the force in her. He knew what she was feeling, the sense of hurt, loss, pain, sadness, forgiveness, and amazement; all of those emotions at once.

"Obi Wan had a journal about his wife and daughter, and left it in my possession after he had passed. It was my responsibility to keep his secret family a secret, and protect them by defeating my own father Darth Vader. Once I found out about you being born, I sent a message to your parents explaining who I was, and why we could only meet in secret just once. I had to know for your protection if you were in possession of the force like your grandfather. Your mother was never force sensitive, but the moment I first met you, I knew immediately that you had the force within you." Luke stared at Rey with tears streaming down. "I told your parents that you would not be safe on your home planet, and that when the time came, your parents would have to send you away from the danger that would be coming for you. When you were around 5 years old, there had already been news of the knights of Ren being formed, and that the first order was rising. Flora and Laith knew what they had to do, and that was when they sent you to the only place they could think that was not going to be invaded by the first order, the planet Jakku." Rey could feel the tears beginning to swell in her eyes once again, because that was the most heartbreaking day of her life; her family abandoning her on Jakku all by herself, while she screamed and begged for them to come back. "Rey, I'm so sorry that they had to do that to you, but please understand I had to tell them so that they could make the best decision as your parents to protect you and keep you alive and safe, and without any knowledge that you were one with the force." Luke couldn't even face Rey by the time she began to cry with her hands covering her face. Besides feeling responsible for what happened to Ben, Luke felt responsible for what happen to young Rey's life.

Rey managed to control herself, and then asked a question she was not ready to ask, "What happened to my parents?" Luke then turned to look at her with a solemn look on his face. "They died." Rey began to cry again, because for years she had been waiting and waiting for them to come back for her, and now she realizes that they would never come back. "After they dropped you off on Jakku, their ship got blown up by the first order just as it was about to reach the outer rim of the galaxy." Rey held her head up as she continued to listen to Luke. "I had to go into exile, but before I did I had a friend who knew where I was going to be. His name was Lor San Tekka. He promised me to look after you from afar on Jakku, and that he would keep my secret location a secret." Luke then looked seriously at Rey, "I know why you're here now, and now I will train you, and you will learn to use the force. Once your training is done I will go back with you to my sister, and fight with the resistance to stop the chaos of what's happened."


Since that day Rey had been training with Luke. She learned that she could do things she never thought would be possible. However, there was always Kylo on the back of her mind, and the words that remained in her memory. She could not explain why she remained thinking of him, his voice, his face, but most of all his connection to her. It was something that troubled her daily, and soon she is going to have to ask Luke how to control these unintentional feelings she has for the enemy.
