Welcome to another fanfiction, my sweets! This one's based off of two things: my personal Rey origin theory and a song that a part of my choir is singing at our spring show this weekend!
My theory will be revealed more and more as this story goes on.
The song is called "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" by Billy Joel, and whenever I hear them sing it I immediately think of Rey on her restless nights and want to sing them to her. Now we have something to do it with!
I really hope you all like it! Please leave your thoughts in the reviews!
Rey sat in her home in the crashed TIE fighter, trying to get some sleep. Her buns were starting to fall out of their hold, and sleep was not wanting to come to her. Her young ears heard sounds in the night, and fear began to fill her being.
"Mother?" she softly called, knowing that the woman she could not remember was not actually there. She didn't know why she called out, but she did so anyway.
A presence seemed to enter the tiny room, and a soft myriad of voices sounded out, filling the room with beautiful music that was never heard outside of this place on Jakku. A woman and a man's voices began to sing, and Rey lay down, closing her eyes and allowing the music to enter her heart.
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes/And save these questions for another day/I think I know what you've been asking me/I think you know what I've been trying to say/I promised I would never leave you/Then you should always know/Wherever you may go, no matter where you are/I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep/And still so many things I want to say/Remember all the songs you sang for me/When we went sailing on an emerald bay/And like a boat out on the ocean/I'm rocking you to sleep/The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart/You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream/And dream how wonderful your life will be/Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby/Then in your heart there will always be a part of me/Someday we'll all be gone/But lullabies go on and on/They never die/That's how you and I will be
Her thoughts of fear were calmed, and she allowed herself to let her guard down momentarily, falling into a deep slumber, waiting for the next day.
These nights were few and far between, but she loved the nights when the music would come into her home. She made an extra set of marks on the other side of the TIE for every night that the song came. She did not know where it came from; for all she knew, it was simply a memory of times long gone.
She didn't care.
As she nodded off, she heard the confusing but beautiful voice say to her, "We will find you again, my Terra. Simply wait, and we will come."
She rested, knowing that she was safe that night.
