AN: Hi everyone! This is the first fanfiction that I'm posting and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've never really shared my stories with anyone before and I'm kind of freaking out.

I welcome you with open arms and I hope that you like it. It's going to be a long journey and I hope that you stay till the very end. If you have any comments or suggestions to help me feel free to do so, I highly encourage it. If you like it give it a review, it might just make the other chapters come faster. ;)

I've already written the second chapter and I'm working on the third, I'll still post them whether or not this is reviewed or not, but I'd like to know what you all think. Anyway, enough about me it's time for you to enter the world of Star Wars.

Chapter 1

Pain, shooting through her mind and body as she slept. It's only been two weeks on the secluded island on the uncharted planet, but it felt like two years. Rey expected that training to be a Jedi would be hard, but never this painful. However, she never doubted her new master for a second.

Luke was hesitant at first to train her. When she arrived and held his lightsaber to him he didn't make any move to take it from her. His tired eyes just stared at her for what felt like the longest time before finally using the force to call his saber to him.

He had asked her why she had come and how she had found him. She told him that the Resistance needed his help if they were ever to defeat the First Order. He stopped her harshly once she said that, saying that he'll never go back because of his failure. Rey knew all too well who he meant, Kylo Ren.

The evil dark apprentice of the Supreme Leader, the young man who killed his own father. He was sent away to train with Luke, but the Dark Side of the force called to him, leading to the destruction of Luke's Jedi temple and the death of all of those younglings. Rey didn't feel the need to press on the subject at that moment, she would have to wait a while before returning him to General Organa.

When she asked to be taught the ways of the force, Luke was unsure. He didn't even know who she was. He invited her to stay the night to explain everything to him. There wasn't much to tell, she was a lowly scavenger from Jakku, abandoned by her family with absolutely no memory of them. It was only after she encountered Finn that her life started to change.

She told Luke how she met Finn and Han Solo. She stopped at his name, his death still fresh in her mind before continuing. She explained how she was captured by Kylo Ren because she saw the missing piece of the map that was needed to find Luke. That day in the forest still haunted her. Seeing him all dressed in black with his crackling red lightsaber brought fear to her heart. When he caught up to her and froze her with the force she petrified, then she blacked out.

She told Luke that she had awoken being restrained to something and how Kylo Ren was just staring at her. She can still hear his mechanical voice in her head when he answered her question. You're my guest, that confused her, she wasn't a prisoner in his eyes, but she had paid it no mind. She had assumed it was a way to make her feel less afraid. Apparently he picked up on her thoughts of how she still wanted to kill him, resulting in her having a witty comeback, for her anyway. That's what happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask. That's when he stood up and removed his helmet.

Rey couldn't help but feel shocked, this was not the face that she expected to belong to the ruthless person that was Kylo Ren. He was young, not much older than her really, and she couldn't help but think that he was handsome. She looked him up and down his face, his eyes were soft and didn't look menacing at all. He looked at her for a little bit and she felt a little heat rise to her face, it wasn't enough to be noticeable. As he moved to put his helmet down, she noticed how tuned his muscles were, she watched him as he walked over to her.

He told her that he knew about the map and that she had seen it, he then started to probe her mind, revealing her innermost thoughts. She could still hear his soft and gentle voice at that moment. You're so lonely, so afraid to leave. At night desperate to sleep. You imagine an ocean, I see it. I see the island. And Han Solo, you feel like he's the father you've never had. He would've disappointed you. It was at that last moment that his voice started to raise slightly and she tried to fight back.

He started to move away from her and stand in front of her with his hand outstretched. He started probing her mind even further, she tried to push him out with all of her strength. She tried to imagine a wall, truth be told she didn't really know what she was doing, she just wanted him out. It was then that he sensed the force inside of her and he said reassuringly, Don't be afraid I feel it too. Was he trying to comfort her, she didn't care as she used the force to probe his mind and reveal his biggest fear. It was then that he withdrew from her and left the cell.

She told Luke that was when she discovered her abilities and how she used them to make a stormtrooper release her and escape. The rest went by quickly, she told him about the plan to blow up Starkiller Base and stopped when she told him about Han Solo. His face went low and she could see the tears brimming at his eyes. She thought she heard him say Leia, but it was too soft to tell. When she watched that scene play out, she could've sworn that she felt something inside of her through the force. It was confliction, anger, and after Han had been killed an extremely small feeling of regret. She didn't understand it so she ignored it.

When Chewie shot Kylo he looked up at her and she couldn't help but stare. She told Luke what happened in the forest and the fight. She said that the only reason she was able to beat Kylo was by channeling the force to help her. That fight was burned into her brain. She remembered looking at the blood coming from him and could feel a little sympathy, but that disappeared when she remembered what he had just done. When it looked like she would die he said something she didn't expect, You need a teacher, I can show the ways of the force. It was an offer, but she didn't want it. She would never succumb to the horror that was the Dark Side, she belonged with Luke Skywalker and the Light.

When she was done explaining the events, he had agreed to teach her, but not to go back to the Resistance. Rey could live with that, and since then he had been training her. He trained her hard physically and mentally. She would practice sparring with him with practice sabers so that she could get the hang of it. When she was comfortable with her stances he allowed her to use his lightsaber for practice.

It was odd having it in her hand, she was more clumsy with it, she missed her staff. Luke noticed this and said that when the time came for her to make her own lightsaber, she could make a double bladed one. However, she would need to use his for the time being. The mental training was more strenuous. He kept trying to enter her mind when they sparred and she couldn't focus on both at the same time.

When he did it to her without sparring she was able to keep her mind guarded for a few seconds before he was able to gain entry. And when she tried to probe his mind, she had no luck. This frustrated her, she was able to do it with Kylo, why couldn't she do it with Luke. Did Kylo purposefully let her in, or was it just dumb luck? Meditating was the easiest for her, it helped to calm her down when she started to lose her temper after failing several times.

It helped to keep her mind clear of her thoughts, especially thoughts about Kylo Ren. She loathed the man, he was a monster and she wanted him dead. But for some reason he found some way to weasel his way into her mind. She never told Luke but she could sometimes feel a presence within her, giving her some tips or words of encouragement through the force. It was like that time on Starkiller, but she couldn't understand who or what it was.

After two weeks on that island she was so sore that every part of her body hurt. She missed her friends Poe and Finn. Finn, she wondered if he was awake yet. He was her best friend and she wanted to experience this with him. She wanted to go back to the Resistance base, but she needed Luke to come with her. She could feel herself drifting deeper into her already peaceful sleep.

AN: So what did you guys think? Please feel free to share your thoughts and help me with any advice that you have. I'll either post the next chapter later tonight (I'm a night owl) or tomorrow. I'm not sure yet. I might also change the rating to teen, but I'm still starting out and I want to see where I go with this first.

Until next time may the force be with you. :)
