I'll Choose you

A/N: I do not own Star Wars or any of the characters. If I did Kylo Ren would be mine lol. And don't worry I wont stop writing A new life. It still has my attention. So anyway, onwards the story.

Chapter 1

She was working in field of Crait. It was a miniature planet of the outskirts of the galaxy. Crait has no defense. We don't believe in that kinds of stuff. We are an agriculture planet you can say. Everyone of us has a job and it works out perfectly. Serena Skylstad lives on this planet ever since she was born. Serena is 17, slightly tan from being in the sun all the time. She has chestnut eyes and hair black as night. She is the spitting image of her mom Starla. Serena mom owns a vegetable garden that's where everyone gets their vegetables and all. My mother and we live in the center of the village. Our huts our built out of wood except one building that has a river running in front of it. It belongs to our government. We also have an open yard for town meetings and get togethers. It's been a peaceful two years since the destruction of The First Order was destroyed by The Resistance. There has been rumors of Kylo Ren's survival, but no one could say that was true. Maybe he did go down along with them... the night settled as everyone was getting ready for bed when Serena's mom rushed into our hut. There was news she said but none that Serena wanted to hear. Kylo Ren was here.

Serena's pov

I watched as my mom rushed in our hut closing the door behind her.

"Serena there here" She said to me grabbing hands

"How can we be sure" I asked her. I wanted to believe that she was just being paranoid but one look in her eyes and that's when I knew what she was saying was true. The First Order was coming to our home my home.

"We spotted them on the radar. We have two options; we could run and get caught or we stay and suffer" She put some of my hair behind my ears. I could tell that she was defeated and that scared me more than anything. My mother was a strong woman. She believed in good.

"Do you know what they are coming to do? Why are then even in this part of the galaxy? We haven't done anything!" I shouted.

I'm not lying. When The Resistance and The First Order were battling over the missing piece of a map to find Luke Skywalk, Crait did not participate. We had been a neutral planet. We didn't pick a side. Yes, we watched other planets get destroyed but we didn't interfere for our own safety. I mean we have no army. When the battle ended The Resistance found Luke Skywalker and some Jedi were trained and we several refugees from other planets that were destroyed. They came to live on Crait for our reputation. Peace. The First Order is rebuilding. Creating stronger, better weapons and force fields. They have the same plan: take over the galaxy. The Resistance is getting stronger as well. There everywhere, recruiting new people and fighters. They rebuilding to keep The First Order in line. They even have more Jedi and a female is there leader Rey. When people ask for help we let them in. We live good a life here. We have old technology that is rarely used. We have outdated radars and radios and we have no weapons. So why is the, The First Order coming here after all this time. I peeked out the window in our small wooden hut. Fear grabbed a hold of my heart when those bright lights started ascending down from the sky. The people were coming out of their home going to the middle of the village to see who and what was going on.

"Go back in" I thought to them

"What are we going to do?" I asked turning to look at my mom. I wanted to run far far away from here.

I looked out the window of our small wooden house. Fear escalated inside of me when I saw the bright lights of their ships ascending down. People were beginning to gather outside of their homes, in the middle of the village. The wind was whirling as the ship's landing, the engines drowned out all other sound, and everyone just stood, waiting for them to exit their ships; there was a mixture of people some in awe, some terrified of not knowing what's going to happen to them and some was ready to defend themselves. I was a mixture of all three. I clenched my fists they were sweating, my posture was straight, and I was ready to face these sinful people.1

Three ships landed two out of three were identical. They were tiny fighters, or defensive ships. I saw my first stormtrooper when the black glass pod shifted backwards, and one climbed out of each ship. The biggest ship, in the center, had two huge metal wings that extended straight out. Connected in the middle of the wings was basically a large metal compartment. I didn't know much else about either type of ship. I've only studied basic agriculture, not advanced transport technology. The ship that was facing us its wall began to detach from the top and began to lower to the ground. More stormtroopers covered out valley they stood in a unified formation not one out of place. Their guns were poised. I didn't feel brave anymore. I felt terror consume me. I heard the rustle of the trees as the ship's engines turned off. Dressier stormtroopers exited out the ship along with three unhooded men in green cloaks. As everyone was quiet I heard stomping going down the ramp. I looked up seeing the one person I hoped I never had to face their leader, Kylo Ren. I watched him as he struts out like he owned the place. He started surveying the place. Looking around slowly as if we were his prey. I looked at everyone as we were standing in this big opening and dangerous gathering. Our entire village must've been ten rows full of people. We are doomed. Our mayor, Fatholo stepped forward to the center of this gathering.

"Kylo Ren my name is Fatholo. I'm the mayor of Crait. What can we help you with?" Fathollo spoke his voice boomed forward with power, authority, and calmness. Kylo Ren continued to look around before he looked straight at Fatholo. He spoke one single sentence that immediately put everyone on Crait under a threat.

"You have agents of The Resistance hidden among your people here." His voice, low and mechanized, set a strong fear in me that I felt everywhere so strongly from the tips of my fingers to the ends of my toes.15

"What do you talk of? Of course not. We only have people born in Crait and refugees from neutral towns that you, The First Order, destroyed. They seek a place to live." Fathollo was confident in his claims. I, however, felt suspicion.

"Why would The First Order have reason to believe fighters from The Resistance were housed among us?" I thought suspiciously

My suspicions were answered when twenty or so of the thousands of villagers broke away from the U-shape that we were in and began scurrying away, lacing through wooden huts and sprinting towards the wood that were a few miles away.

"Get them." Kylo Ren sounded almost annoyed as he gave that command. The first two of stormtroopers ran in the direction that the hidden agents ran to.

I was slightly confused and impressed that The Resistance refugees hidden so well among us and lied to us so well. We all believed that they were from destroyed planets that they claimed to be. Fatholo began to speak. He spoke with a strong voice. He didn't want his people to worry as there was tension all around in the air and everyone could feel it. We are not safe.

"I did not know of their actual origin. Please, the rest of us are innocent. Do not hurt us! We are not contrasting to you!" He begged with the dark Sith Lord. Kylo Ren did not reply. For several moments, he stood behind his stormtroopers with his mask faced towards the ground. He then walked around to the front of them and faced Fatholo.4

"I am detecting something . . . Someone . . . Extremely powerful among your people."31

I scrunched my eyebrows together.

"What was he even talking about? No one here had ever showed any quality out of the ordinary." I thought confusingly

Silence followed as no one dared to move. Fatholo was tense. "You must be mistaken." Fatholo authoritative vocals were losing confidence and steam. Fatholo must have known that he would make the next move. I had no inkling what was going to happen. Everything was changing and that terrified me. I didn't know what was going to happen to me or my mom.

Kylo Ren turned around and, without having to say a word, two stormtroopers compounded out of the pack and stood on either side of him, slightly behind him. Kylo Ren began walking and the two stormtroopers stayed close to him. He slowly came to a stop, turned directions, and began walking. He stopped again as he slightly turned more to my left and began walking once more.

"Mom, we should go." I whispered. Nerves were thrashing in my stomach as my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I quickly glanced up at her. She didn't reply to me.

Kylo Ren continued and slowly stopped. He then turned for the final time and walked until he was right in front of me, towering over me and looking down at me. My breaths were shallow as I am horrified. Was he going to kill me? Something worse?

"Take her. Round up the rest of them. Kill them." He spoke so only I could hear, but somehow the rest of the stormtroopers fifty yards away heard perfectly.

I widened eyes praying that I heard wrong. I grabbed my mother's hand prepared to run away with her. Kylo Ren turned on his heels and began briskly back to his ship. It was silent for a while that is until Kylo Ren words the silence turned chaos across my village. I hugged my mother so tightly that I was sure crushing her. I didn't want to leave her. The two stormtroopers that was by Kylo Ren side came to me ripping me away from my mom. I began to panic as I struggled against them. I only ended up hurting myself. One stormtrooper came to us yanking my mother away from me.

"MOM!" I cried out to her "NO! Please take me instead please" I begged them, but my pleading fell on death ears.

I continued to struggle finally breaking free from there grasp. I raced towards my mother trying to get them off her. One of the stormtrooper grabbed me by my forearm ripping me away from my mom again and this time I knew it was forever.

I watched as the stormtrooper came up to my mother bringing his gun to her temple pulling the trigger. The fire rang in my ears. I felt no emotion. I couldn't fight or scream I was completely empty inside. It was like slow motion as I saw the stormtrooper drop my mom's body on the ground without a second thought. They began to drag me to the ship as I watched my friends and family being slaughtered without any regret. I began to struggle in his grip. He didn't let me continue my rage as he put his gun my temple. I froze feeling scared. The stormtrooper dragged me to the ship as I couldn't cooperate. I heard gunshots and screaming it was all too much for me. We reached the ship my stormtrooper and I. I came to halt as I looked up the ramp seeing future and not liking it at all.

"Walk" He commanded pressing the gun harder into my temple.

We began walking up the ramp. I sense my freedom leaving me as I took every step. The further we went into the ship the further away the screams and gunshots were. I began walking faster but was reframed as the stormtrooper grip tightened on my forearm. Where we walked in the floor was empty except four seats were placed around a large circle table that had silver legs but a matte black top as the floor was a shiny black. I saw two staircases that leads to more rows of leather seats one going up and gong down. Beyond those rows was the cockpit. The three green-cloaked men were occupying three seats at a table. I could see all their faces. However, in the seat facing the opposite direction was obviously Kylo Ren. He was leaning forward with his elbows on the table. I stared at the back of his head in disgust. I turned and looked at the village of Crait as the stormtrooper forced me into a large glass tube in the corner of the room. The tube extended from the floor to the ceiling as he shut me inside. I never saw my village again. As I watched from inside the glass tube the stormtrooper in a nice filed line came into the ship. Some sat in seats on the floor I was on and some sat above. I began to panic as it dawned on me that I gotten kidnapped by The First Order no less. I began to shake with rage as I watched these monsters they just murdered an entire village. I became sure I was going to be killed if not worse tortured.

"I don't know this magical person" I thought panicking.

As the ships walls closed me in I felt a whole new wave of fear. I couldn't help but stand helplessly in my tint tube. I saw their mouths move but couldn't hear anything meaning my glass tube was soundproof. I watched them talk for the longest wondering what it was about. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction by crying even though on the inside I was panicking and plotting my way to escape. I pressed my palm flat against the glass tube. I tried finding any imperfections but nothing. I huffed as I brought my hand down and clenched my fist. I pulled my fists back doubting that it would work I just wanted out of this fucked glass tube it was suffocating I ram my fist again the glass hard. I kept hitting and punching the glass tube. The only person that noticed, or acknowledged, my actions was the green-cloaked man closest to me. He glanced at me, then continued with the conversation.

"What a bunch of assholes" I thought with anger

I thought of my mom, my village. I had no one. I closed my eyes seeing her face. Her eyes pleading for to help her and I almost did but I…I slammed my hand at the glass.

"Hey dicks you hear me? I hope you can cause when I get out of here ill find a way to kill all four of you!" I yelled seething anger filling my body.

Anger overtook me as I pulled back my already injured hand balling it into a fist and began whirling at the glass. The glass refused to break no matter how many times I hit, kick, or punch. The four men refused to even acknowledge me. I continued abusing my holding cell. My knuckles were sore and bleeding my feet were numb. My fury was finally recognized as Kylo Ren who I still haven't seen the front stood up slamming his palms onto the table. I stopped as I heard the slap faintly. I was hoping that they would say I was free, but I know that wasn't the case. It impressed me enough to stop my rage. I wonder how I could have heard the smack since my glass tube was sound proof and apparently rage proof. He scared me, because he so strong with the force mentally and physically. My breathing was labored my knuckles was bloody they were even more painful when I rubbed them. Kylo Ren started walking quickly to my corner.

"Now I done it" I thought looking everywhere trying to find something

I watched his every move. He stopped a foot away from the tube and pressed a blue button on a minuscule black panel on the wall next to the tube that I hadn't noticed before. I looked back into his mask, and I couldn't tell his expression. I could tell what he was feeling through his tone and diction. When he pressed the button, I could hear him quite clearly. I hated the sound of his voice. That mechanical voice. It was fake and caused my heart to beat harder and faster. I feared his voice. It haunted me. Why? Look at the fate of my home. The fate of my home is due to his voice and his words.

"I suggest you stop doing that." His tone was blank. He showed zero emotion.

I stared at his shiny midnight colored mask. It covered his eyes. I glared at him with a straight face showing him that he will no break me. He let his hand fall from the black panel as he walked away from the glass tube. I watched as he sat back down and continued the conversation completely ignoring me. I stood in my glass tube with breathing labored, my knuckles and toes throbbing in pain. All I was left with that worse than any emotion is sadness. I mourned for my mother. I longed for her gentle touch and calming words. I longed for her hugs. I longed for her to take me in her arms protecting me, but I knew I would never see again only in my dreams and when I take my finale breath in cruel world. The first wave of it came when Kylo Ren sat down. I stood for long several minutes staring into the empty room. I kept think of the past day of the horrendous events that happened. I gathered enough of bitter heartbreak to make me lean against the back of the tube. I slide down the tube my breath catching in the back of my throat. Before I reached the ground, a single whimper came through my trembling lip. I hugged my knees to my chest and silently cried as the best I can. The sadness physically hurt my chest. I was alone in this galaxy. No family, no friends and no one knew I was alive. I began taking shaky breaths and trying to calm myself down, but the tears kept coming and then the heart wrenching sobbing. I couldn't contain it. These emotions these bad emotions were overpowering. I looked up from my knees seeing the stormtroopers getting up. Kylo Ren and the cloaked men left. I didn't feel the ship land. I forced myself to stop sobbing. I didn't want them to think I was helpless. I didn't want their attention. They had to drag me to out of the glass tube that contained me. They dragged me to a cell. I began to shake my head no. I didn't want to go in there. I began to fight them. Trying not to be dragged. I began putting a halt to my feet, but they pulled harder. I started screaming at them telling to stop and let me go. They ignored my pleading. I fought harder till I felt a pain go across my head and blacked out. I began to wake up to me. staring at a ceiling that was pure white. I slowly sat up looking all around me. In each corner a camera. There was a black panel on the door with the same blue button that Kylo Ren pushed to open my glass tube. The cell had the same sleek dark floor. The walls just the same as the ceiling. I sat on the bed and stared at my brown cargo pants. My eyes shifted to my black leather boots, and then to my hands that were folded in my lap. I felt empty so empty inside like I had no reason to live.

"I bet being exiled feels this way" I said to myself hugging my legs to my chest again sitting in the corner of my uncomfortable bed.
