Chapter 1:

Running…

She was running into the darkness and her heart was beating so hard she could hear it. Stormtroopers were after her and she wasn't sure why. All she wanted was to scream at them to go away, she wasn't about to cry either. She knew not to show them any weakness and she felt the lightsaber tap against her leg.

She hated the First Order with all her being but yet she couldn't fight them. It would be her against an unknown number of Stormtroopers and Sith if any were with them. She was a long way from home and being all alone wasn't good in this time.

"How the hell did they find me?" She had thought to herself.

The woman ran over the bridge and into the forest of the planet she stayed at. The footsteps were getting closer to her and the woman had to make a choice. Quickly she force jumped into the trees and watched the ground below. Her breathing was heavy but not enough that they could hear it. White flashed into her vision as the Troopers ran past her hiding place. She couldn't help but to chuckle and smile at the fact they were dimwits.

"Split up and search the area. He wants the girl alive do you hear me? Alive!" A female's voice yelled.

The lightsabred one blinked in surprised. After they all were out of eye and ear shot she jumped down and looked around. She let out a breath and went to walk back to her ship to hightail it out of there but from the shadows he stood there. She nearly missed him because he blended perfectly into the night. Her hand moved down to her waste, ready for battle if it called.

The person across from her dressed in all black and she saw him wearing a mask. His right hand was also at his.

"So it is you."

It was a man…

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Kylo, Kylo Ren." He answered.

With a flick of his left hand the woman felt herself being lifted off the ground. In shock she let out a scream.

Callista woke up with a start; it was always like this after that dream, that nightmare. The lone grey Jedi knew it was around six am, the sun was out and it hurt her eyes slightly. Callista grabbed the lace ribbon from the side of her bed stand and slipped it on. It dimmed the light and her eyes felt better. Callista took after her Mother's eye condition even though she was half Lunoxian. How she longed to go home to Lunox after three years.

Three years ago was when the First Order took control of Lunox after Kylo Ren had joined them. She had heard of the man but didn't know who he truly was. Callista wasn't scared of him though; no she saw him as a man that coward behind a mask.

Callista got out of bed and landed on the floor. Currently she was on a planet by the name of Takodana and was staying at Maz Kanata's castle for the time being. Callista would end up doing odd jobs for Maz like supplies runs, tending to the people there and things like that. Callista wasn't a smuggler like some would think but she could fight like one. Callista never let anyone boss her around and her fighting showed it.

Callista picked up the covers to her bed and saw her lightsaber under it. She put her hand out and the sabre flew into her palm. Callista took a look at it and set it on her belt hook. She had a feeling that it was going to be one of those days that seemed to repeat. But before Callista could even leave her room she heard a knock at the door.

"Yes?"

The door opened and standing at the door way was Maz. Callista turned to her and smiled.

"Mornin' Maz, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to talk to you Calli, may I come in?"

"Oh please do."

Maz shut the door behind her and made it into the room. Callista's room was made up of her bed, a small bedside table, another larger table and a few chairs. Callista didn't need much and Maz knew that. Maz took one of the chairs and brought it toward the bed. Callista sat on the bed and watched Maz.

"Callista it's been how many years now? Four maybe even five since you came here after your Mother had died three since the First Order took over Lunox."

"Maz…where are you going with this?"

"I was thinking Calli, maybe you could go to Lunox for a week or two."

This surprised Callista; no way would she have expected Maz to suggest this. Maz looked into the young girl's eyes with a smile on her face. To Callista, Maz also was like a Grandmother. The thought of Callista leaving Maz felt foreign to her. Maz kept her smile on and got off of the chair. Maz walked over and took Callista's left hand in hers. Callista didn't notice at first but a tear slipped down from covered eyes.

"Callista?"

"I…I'm sorry Maz; just the thought is shocking. I mean I want to but I don't want to leave you. I mean I don't want you to get hurt or anything."

Maz laughed.

"Child, I've been runnin this castle for thousands of years. I can take care of myself. Plus you've been working yourself a lot as of late. You do deserve a vacation! Go on, go to Lunox and see your relative…just with your sabre I'd be careful. With the First Order running around out there, who knows what may be in store for you."

Callista nodded.

"Alright fine, I'll go…but Maz."

"Yes child?"

"Call me if anything happens will you?"

Both Callista and Maz laughed as Callista mentally smiled.

Meanwhile…

Kylo Ren felt something strong within the force. It wasn't the call of the light side of the force. But it was the force indeed. Kylo was in his room when he felt a wave of it course through him and the rest of Star Killer base. Kylo took in a breath as he got up from his bed and walked over to the window.

"It is a strong pull in the force."

General Hux rolled his eyes as he watched Kylo look out amongst the stars.

"Is something the matter General?"

"No…"

"That's a lie."

"Stay out of my head Ren."

Kylo chuckled under his breath knowing that he was caught. Kylo turned to Hux and Hux looked annoyed more than normal. Over the past few weeks both Kylo and Snoke have felt that the force was more active. They both knew it wasn't from Rey but from someone else.

"It isn't from the scavenger girl." Kylo said out loud.

"Well we know that. Snoke did say that it wasn't her." Hux replied.

Kylo didn't say anything; he was lost in his thoughts when Hux's com link went off. It broke Kylo out of his trance and he knew it was Snoke calling. Kylo didn't need Hux to say anything and with that he walked over to Hux and passed him bumping into him. Hux jolted over a spot and followed Kylo out the door.

The theater where Snoke's hologram was light dimly so Hux and Ren could see where they were going. The two of them waited bridge for the transmission to go through. Hux and Kylo had tension already from the last meeting with Snoke. Kylo had to put up with Hux complain about Kylo and the force. Kylo wanted to drive his lightsaber though Hux's heart because of it.

With a bleep the hologram activated and Snoke's image appeared. Both Hux and Ren bowed to the leader and Snoke looked at them.

"I sense the force is acting up once again." Snoke spoke.

"I have as well Supreme leader." Kylo replied.

Snoke didn't speak at first; he looked displeased with the reply Kylo had given him. But just as fast his eyes opened with a spark in them. Kylo and Hux took noticed of this and watched carefully.

"Check the planets we control. Knight of Ren, go out and lead it yourself. I believe that the one belongs to one of them. Remember Skywalker must be found."

"Yes Supreme leader."

The hologram turned off before Hux could get a word in. Hux then turned his attention to Kylo. Kylo though felt like the wind was knocked out of him with a thought he just had.

"Is it really you?"
