It was almost nightfall, rain was pouring down. And yet, a young woman still hurried her way home. The sooner she was home, the sooner she could pack what she needed, say her goodbyes and leave. The life she had known felt as if it were coming to an end, the man she loved was turning towards a path he could not turn back from, the dark side.

She finally reached the small home. Opening the door, she expected to find her parents to be waiting for her, Instead she found both lying on the floor, neither one of them moving. She dropped to the floor in front of her mother. The blonde let out a whimper as she dropped her head into her hands and began sobbing. But when she hard the sound of foot steps behind her, she raised her head slightly.

She then felt a pair of gloved hands rest on either side of her arms and a gentle kiss on the back of her head. Letting out another sob she spoke. "Ben, how could you?"

"Don't call me that." She felt his hands tighten. "And I did what was necessary."

"Necessary? How-" She tried to argue but he pulled her up to face him. He looked so different from the last she had seen him. His dark hair was longer, framing his face and his eyes looked as if he had not slept at all.

"I did this for us, Isabelle." he said. "They weren't going to let you come with me."

"Come with you where?" She asked, shaking her head. "I can't."

"Shhh," He wrapped his arms around her and brought her to his chest.

"I can't," She continued. "You're not you."

His gloved hand reached down to her chin and lifted her head up so that her eyes were looking into his. "The supreme leader has shown me the way. I've improved, i'm stronger and I can protect you."

"You have joined them." She whispered. "How could you?!"

Isabelle was now trying to push him away, slamming her fists against his chest. However, he only tightened his grip on her, avoiding the use of the force on her .

"Like I said," Irritation clear in his voice. "I did this for us. They were going to hold you back. Together, we can move forward!"

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Isabelle shouted, trying to pull away once more.

He only raised his hand on the side of her face, watching as her movements slowed, losing consciousness. Catching her, he held her in his arms. "You will see in time, Isabelle." He kissed her forehead.

When Isabelle woke up, she noticed she was in an unfamiliar place. She was currently lying in a large bed, covered by a black silk blanket. The room itself was large, spacious and completely new to her.

She slowly pushed the blanket off of her and swung her pale, long legs towards the side of the bed.

She sat there for a few seconds, trying to remember when she had changed into a black sleep dress or took her dirty blonde curls out of their braid. She finally stood up and took a few steps forward. Looking around, she noticed there wasn't many items in the room. Just the bed, a small night stand and a chair in the corner across the room.

"Where am I?" She quietly asked herself.

Just as she turned away from the door, the sound of it sliding open. She didn't need to turn around to recognize the presence.

"I didn't want to wake you." His voice sounded strange, mechanical. "How are you feeling?"

When Isabelle turned around, she was shocked to not see Ben's face, but a helmet. It looked as if he were trying to replicate his grandfather's mask.

"Take the mask off," She said quietly.

"I asked you how you were feeling." he responded, ignoring her request.

She hesitating before answering. "Frightened."

He took a step closer. "There is no need to be frightened. You're in a safe place."

"I wouldn't call it that." She replied. "Please take the mask off."

Slowly, his hands made their way to his helmet. With a clicking noise, he lifted it off revealing his pale face. She noticed the dark circles under his eyes looked as if they were becoming darker. He sat the helmet on the nightstand next to the her.

"You look terrible." She noted.

He raised his eyebrows, nodding his head. "I'll admit, I haven't been given much time to rest. Supreme leader has been training me more. I've been given a new task."

Isabelle shook her head slowly, afraid to ask him what the task was.

"As I'm sure you're aware, I've already taken care if the other jedis'. But Master Skywalker," he paused at his uncle's name and Isabelle could feel his anger and resentment. "he seems to have escaped to somewhere we do not know."

"You want to find him." She said. "Ben-"

"DON'T call me that."

"That's your name." she argued.

"Not anymore," he said, taking a step closer. "I am now Kylo Ren."

"I'm not calling you that."

"Ben is gone. He was weak and foolish. Do not call me that again." As he spoke, Isabelle slowly backed up until her back hit the wall. He followed her, towering over her. His hand grabbed her chin. "Do you understand?" His hand slowly loosened it's grip but remained. She slowly nodded, allowing him to let go and to let her move her jaw to relieve the ache from the pressure of his grip.

"The sooner you welcome in the dark, the more power you will feel. Supreme leader has allowed me to continue our relationship. I've told him of your loyalty, your gifted mind and other qualities. You may not be force- sensitive, but with the right training, you would make an excellent member of the First Order."

"You're blind," She spoke. "Can't you see what's going on? The Supreme leader is using you for your power. When he get what he wants, he'll destroy you."

Kylo shook his head. "No, he has shown me my true power. I'm more powerful than Luke Skywalker. When I find him, I will end him and I shall finish what my grandfather has started."

"The man that I love would never-"

"BEN SOLO IS DEAD!" He raised his voice. His hand reached towards his waist where he kept his light saber. "He was weak! I am stronger!" Now he had ignited his light saber, the room tinted red from its glow. He had begun swinging it and destroying the bed and other furniture.

Isabelle had sunk to the floor, covering her face. She knew he had a lot of anger built up but never had she'd seen hime like this. She hadn't noticed before, but traced made their way down her cheeks.

When he was finished, he was breathing hard. Kylo turned around to find Isabelle on the floor, staring at him with fear in her eyes. He deactivated the light saber and kneeled down in front of her.

"I promised myself i would never use the force to harm you, Isabelle. But I can't have you testing my anger." He said, caressing her cheek. He then stood up and took a look at the damage he had caused. "I'll have someone escort you to another room. I need to have a word with General Hux." And he was gone.

Isabelle remained there on the floor, her head falling into her hands.
