Rey was sparring with her staff, the heat from the sun and the cool breeze hitting her damp face. Luke watched from a distance, his hands folded behind his back.

"Can I take a break?" she asked, catching her breath. He squinted at her and thought for a while. Then bowed his head handing her a towel. Rey began to wipe her face when she saw something shimmer in the meditation room. She looked to Luke who was stuffing his face with a sandwich at the lunch table. He didn't seem to notice. She started towards it with caution. The sun beamed on the Jedi textbooks. Rey knew all the books by heart, she studied them when she was little. But, there was one book that stood out. It was shining brightly in the sunlight, it was unfamiliar. The title was a bit blurry but Rey was able to make out some of it F 2 7. She reached out to it when the sound of weeping was heard, distracted, she looked in the corner and noticed a small child with his face buried in his knees. His cries echoed around the room, surrounding only Rey.

"Hey." she whispered cautiously.

"Leave me alone.." he said.

"Leave me alone!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he screamed bursting her eardrums. The boy lifted his head revealing his face. Rey woke up breathing heavily, she was sweating everywhere. She got up and headed to the bathroom. Putting cold water on her face Rey looked in the mirror, for some reason it was foggy. Before wiping off the fog she noticed a figure of someone else in the mirror. It wasn't her reflection. Rey placed her hand on the mirror, feeling a wave of emotions. Isolation, fear, unvalued, despair etc. A muffled "help" was heard from the other side.

"What?" Rey whispered, her hand still on the mirror. The figure pulled her in causing her to scream herself awake. The sun gleaming on her face and the sounds of young Jedi playing force dodge ball outside. Rey pinched herself to make sure she was awake. She was. Drenched in sweat, she took a long shower thinking about what the dream might have meant. While eating in the lunchroom she felt there was something out there, for her. This feeling wasn't new though, she's always felt like there was something missing from her life. But she could never figure it out because she had everything she could ever ask for."Leave me alone!" Felt more like "Please, stay with me...please." It was like a cry for help, something pulling her, calling her, needing her. She could feel it's presence somewhere in the galaxy, Rey just wanted no, needed to find it. After finishing lunch since she slept till the afternoon, she headed to Master Skywalkers office.

"Master Luke?" she said, half of her body in the door. He turned around.

"Good your awake, come in." she sat in the chair in front of his desk as he looked through paperwork."How can I assist you?"

"I was wondering..can I..maybe.." she stalled. "Go out today?"

"Out?" he lowered his reading glasses. Rey began to rub her hands in a circular motion.

"Yeah.." she blinked.

"What for?"

"Well.." She sat up from the chair and began to pace. "..last night, I had a dream-"

"A dream?" he interrupted.

"Well it was more like a vision." She reassured. "There's something out there..it's calling me."

"..and you think it's out there?"

"I don't think. I can feel it."

"Oh." He nodded.

"So, can I go?" They stared at each other for a minute.

"No." he put his glasses back on his nose and continued reading the paperwork.

"Why?"

"It's not safe out there. I can't have you wondering around."

" I'm not wondering and the Resistance gets to-"

"The Resistance is trained for that. You aren't"

"This is so stupid!" Rey kicked her foot.

"Rey." He said quietly " You can leave now." She sighed out of her nose and quietly left the room. Rey spent the rest of the day pouting. How could he say no? Does he think she can't take care of herself? She sure would prove him wrong. Since she was mad at Luke she didn't talk for the rest of the day. Luke was the only person she spoke to, everyone else was a stranger to her. Rey wasn't really open to relationships, she kind of shut everyone out. That night Rey had the same dream. This time, though, when she got pulled in the mirror she didn't wake up. She twitched in her sleep. The sounds of voices and cries overlapping each other floating all around Rey as she stood in the middle of nowhere and nothing. Overwhelmed with emotions, it was like the world was spinning, but she was nowhere. It couldn't be explained. Children screaming and crying for help. Desperate to sleep, afraid to wake up. A blurred face quickly floating toward her as she flinched. Rey jolted up, gasping for air. Her desk light flashing in the darkness. She got up to turn it off, finding an envolope the light was pointing to. It read F 2 7, just like the book in her dream. Did she write that down? Rey had no memory of it. It must be a sign. Rey grabbed the envelope and packed a bag with nothing but food, water, and her light saber (for emergencies) she grabbed her staff and her put on her poncho. Rey peaked out her to see if anyone was out in the hall. It was dark and empty. Rey carefully and quietly left the building, she's never been outside of the walls of the Jedi Academy. It was cold and windy, after making a good distance away from the Academy Rey took a deep breath in. Living in the moment. She heard the sound of trees ruffling and his in a bush. There were storm troopers looking around for something or someone.

"I don't see him." One of them said into a talkie.

"Wait, there he is!" Two troopers came dragging a man. One of them looked in Rey's direction causing her to duck for cover.

"You can't keep doing this!" The trooper said to him. The man stood there motionless.

"Just let me go." The man said. Rey looked to see what the man looked like, but there was leaves in the way.

"You know we can't do that."

"If you do this again, we're all in trouble. We can't keep covering for you." They threw his suit at him.

"Put it on, before they notice we're gone." The man went back into the woods with the armor.

"Ahem." Rey looked behind her to find two stormtroopers with blasters in their hands. One of them took her bag and began to search through it.

"Hey!" Before she could move the trooper aimed its blaster at her.

"If you wanna live, I suggest you don't move." The blaster touching her chin.

"Check this out." He took out her saber distracting them both. Rey took her staff and whacked them both alarming the other troopers below. Rey picked up her bag and dusted it off. The rest of the troopers caught her, she couldn't fight back all of them. The man they were after came out of the woods with the suit on.

"Who's she?" He asked, but no one answered.

Rey woke up strapped into a chair in a giant room. She looked around.

"Hello?" A hologram appeared of a giant old man.

"Hello Rey." She felt shivers down her body.

"How do you know my name?" She said trying to hide the fear in her voice.

"I know everything about you, Rey." Her breath became heavy.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I am Snoke, an omnipotent being. Powerful with the force, and I can sense that you are as well." He breathed in. "Strong with the force."

"Why am I here?"

"Your here, because I need to get to Luke Skywalker. You seem to know where he is."

"I have no idea what your talking about."

"Oh young Jedi." he laughed "You think I can't read your mind?" he reached out his giant hologramic hand almost touching her face. She leaned back, before touching her the hologram disappeared in the darkness. Rey sat there, a puzzled, yet relieved expression on her face. Then, suddenly, she felt a presence. The same presence she dreamed about, the same cry for help. A storm trooper entered the room and released her then pulled her to the side.

"What're you doing?" she said.

"SH." he said then took off his helmet. His brown eyes sparkled in the little light of the room.

"I'm gonna get you out of here." He whispered.

"What?"

"We don't have much-" A group of troopers walked in. The man pulled Rey behind the wall.

"She's not here." One of them said. The man placed his finger over his lips at her.

"Why are you helping me?" She asked, her body pressed against the wall.

"Because it's the right thing to do." he answered watching the troopers scan the area, they moved closer to them. Rey watched him, he was so close she could feel the warmth of his body. It helped because it was freezing cold in that room. He put the helmet back on and revealed himself.

"FN-2187, what are you doing here?" Rey straightened herself against the wall as if she blended in.

"I was.. going to..take the girl to a cell. She isn't here though!"

"Well, if you find her. Take her to Snoke."

"No problem." he nodded. After they left the room Rey looked to see if the coast was clear.

"Come on." He looked in the hall. It was empty. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a corner in the hall where anyone who passed by wouldn't see them.

"I need my bag." she whispered.

"What why?"

"It has important stuff in it."

The man sighed.

"Okay, come on." they walked at a fast pace into a room. FN-2187 opened up a closet and looked through a bunch of garbage. He picked up her bag.

"Is this it?" Rey turned her head to see and nodded. He tossed it to her. She checked to make sure her saber was there. It was, she sighed with relief.

"And my staff?" He looked back in the closet looking around, he saw a giant stick and handed it to her.

"We have to go." FN-2187 picked up a blaster and put handcuffs on her. "Don't worry I'll take them off once we get outta here." He grabbed her arm and aimed the blaster at her.

"It's all an act. It's alllll an act." he said.

"Your not going to actually take me to Snoke are you?"

"No." he said his voice cracked. Rey didn't trust him, it all seemed skeptical. She nudged him with her elbow and kicked him to the ground.

"What the hell!" he yelled. She picked up her stick (handcuffs still on) then whacked him in the head knocking him out. While taking off his helmet she noticed a small marking on the bottom. FN-2187 yes that's what the other troopers called him. But, actually seeing it triggered her vision. The book in the meditation room. The other blurred writing. FN-2187...FN-2187..Rey looked back at the unconscious storm trooper on the floor. There it was. The presence she's been sensing, the cry for help. It was him, he was the boy who screamed in the corner. He was the one desperate to sleep at night, but too afraid to wake up the next day. It was him. There was a knock on the door that took her out of her trance.

"Open up!" said a voice. Rey quickly threw everything back in the closet. She dragged FN-2187 into the closet with her as the trooper walked into the room. She watched through the hole. It was only one, she could take one out. They closed the door behind them, so this would be easy. As the trooper came close to the closet Rey prepared her staff.

"What the-" Whack. She put the unconscious FN-2187's helmet back on his head and began to take off the other troopers armor. Soon she was fully suited up.

"Hey, get up." Rey said shaking him conscious.

"What happened?"

"Doesn't matter, we need to get out of here in fast." She extended her hand helping him up. He rubbed his head.

"The exit is that way."

After escaping the building, they took off their suits. Rey recognized the sweet smell of maple trees. She was on the same planet as the Young Jedi Academy.

"Where to?" FN-2187 asked.

"Can you take me back to where I was found?"

"Yeah, right there." He pointed to the top of a hill. Rey walked up the hill and looked at the landscape. Yup, the Academy was right under the First Orders nose all this time and they had no idea.

"I have to head back."

"Where?"

"You'll see just..follow me." By now the sun was rising, Rey stopped and sat on the grass to watch the sunrise. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Master Luke would be looking for her, but she was already gone for too long.

"You ever see the sunrise?" Rey asked.

"No." He sat down next to her. "It's beautiful." Rey hummed in agreement then gazed at him. She could sense his power, it was just as strong as hers.

"So FN-2187, got a name without numbers?"

He nodded. "No, that's the only name they ever gave me." his eyes staying on the sun.

"Well, that changes today. From now on I'll call you..Finn."

"Finn..I like that."

"Okay." Rey stood up. "We have to go for real this time. Headmaster is going to be looking for me in particular."

"Headmaster?"

"Yes." she started. "Hopefully he won't be too mad to give you a chance."

"What're you talking about?"

"I told you, you'll see."

They arrived at the Academy. Rey snuck in through her window, Finn behind her. No one was playing outside today, which was highly unusual. Finn sat on her bed.

"Stay here." she demanded. Rey opened the door to find the hallway empty as well. It was like the entire Academy was abandoned. She opened Luke's door

to find him sitting by his desk with his face buried in his hands. She softly knocked to get his attention.

"Rey." he sighed with relief. "Where have you been?"

"I...I went out." Luke stared at her, holding in a yell.

"Rey, you know how dangerous it is out there." he softly said.

"I know and I ran into some trouble but-"

"What kind of trouble?"

"I was kidnapped by the First Order.." she said with a high voice. Luke sighed with disappointment. "But, I go away! With help."

"It doesn't matter. they are going to be looking for you and they'll do what it takes.." his voice getting louder with every word. "..to find you, even if it means killing-" He sighed and sat back down on the chair placing his palm on his head.

"I'm sorry."

"Just, don't. Do it again."

"I won't because I found what I was looking for. His names Finn and he's force sensitive!"

"How'd you find him?" He said keeping his voice low.

"Well..he found me. After I was kidnapped he helped me get out."

"Is he with the Resistance?"

"No, nothing like that..." Rey stood on her tippy toes. "He worked for the the First Order." Rey pursed her lips. "Notice I said 'worked' because he doesn't work for them anymore." She mentioned before Luke could let out another sigh.

"He's a really good guy..not even a pinch of evil in him."

"And where did you put this Finn?"

"He's in my dorm. I could bring him to you."

"If this Finn is as pure hearted as you say he is, and is force sensitive. I would like to be introduced to him."

"Really? I don't have to send him back?"

"We'll see."

"Thank you Master Luke, you won't regret it!" Rey said as she left the room. She quickly ran back to her dorm to get Finn. He was watching the kids play outside.

"So good news.." her head peaking in the door. "You can stay!" Finn nodded with a pleasant smile.

"Do I get my own dorm?"

"Oh. I didn't ask Luke about that. Well, you can stay here for now." He nodded with pursed lips. There it goes again, Rey felt the emotions flow in once more. The isolation and despair. Rey sat by his side.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It's just..why'd you bring me here?"

"Where else would I take you? This is the only place on the planet I've been to, other than the First Orders base."

"I don't know. It just feels like I don't belong."

"I know that feeling. I feel the same way whenever I wake up in the morning." Rey never realized how much little sleep she had gotten. All the exhaustion hit her and it was only the afternoon. She yawned.

"How do you cope?"

"I kind of just...fit in. Somehow, even if I feel out of place." Finn nodded. "Your actually the only person here, other than Master Luke I speak to." she softly laughed.

"So, everyone here is a Jedi?"

"Well, yeah but, we're more training to be Jedi." They sat in silence.

"You know you never did ask my name."

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me. I should have- I just didn't really know..I don't really socialize often and-"

"It's Rey."

"Nice to meet you, Rey." he shook her hand.
