The Darkest Temptation - A Star Wars Story
Chapter 1: Meeting again
In a Galaxy far far away There is a resistance of Jedi whom fight the dark side. Amié is one of those Jedi. She's strong, intelligent and powerful in the use of the force. The only issue is that Amié fights a battle within herself. That battle being with the dark side. She has always felt the pull, but never acted upon it. Amié has been with the resistance for many years. Amié wondered where her childhood friend and lover was. He disappeared and she never heard from him. She has been searching for Ben Solo...they were in love and together for many years before he went missing. She has been searching for him. She met with the resistance and decided to join them when they offered her help. Distraction came when the rise of Kylo Ren came to light. They've been fighting him since. No one has seen him for a while. They found his broken mask several weeks before and hasn't seem him since. No one knows where he is at this time, but the fight continues. little does she know, the man that she's now fighting, is the one she used to love. No one else knows of who she is looking for, she hasn't had time to ask. She never saw Kylo Ren often. With his mask on, she didn't know who he was. She kept herself hidden under a cloak for a lot of that time. Neither noticed who the other were until...
Amié arrives with the resistance to a cold planet, where there was word of Kylo Ren being there. They step off the plane and start searching. They must find him, no one knows what he's doing, but it can't be good.
"Are you sure he's here?" Amié asks "looks like nothing is here!"
"This is the coordinates we were given" Rey replies "he must be here!"
They walk on and come out into a clearing...there's smoke, fire...and a tall man dressed in black, back facing them, with a red lightsaber at his side, and storm troopers shooting everything.
"KYLO!" Shouts Rey "Stop this now!" Kylo turns around to face the resistance. His face is cold, mean. He says nothing, he just smirks.
Amié stands in shock, she questions herself, thinks she's seeing things. She sees Ben Solo, standing in front of her, leading the attack she came to stop. He catches her eye, and stares back at her, it's a quiet moment, awkward maybe.
"Ben...?" Amié whispers "is that you?!"
"A-Amié..." Kylo says
"What did you do Ben?" Amié shakes her head "You said you'd be back. You said you wouldn't do anything stupid. You said you'd come back..."
Kylo approaches Amié "I swear I was planning to come back"
"Then why didn't you?" Amié sighed
"I felt like you deserved better" Kylo looks away
"I miss you Ben..." Amié lowers her gaze. "I've missed you every day."
Kylo lifts her chin "even still, you've always been on my mind. I've never stopped wondering what you had gone on to do"
Amié grabs into Kylo and hugs him "Please stop this" Amié whispers "I don't want you to get hurt. I can't live with that"
"I can't stop now" kylo says pulling away "this is my life now."
"It doesn't have to be." Amié replies softly
"But it is" kylo says quietly
"Your focus determines your reality" Amié replies "you choose your path"
Amié leaves him with a kiss and walks away. The resistance team stare at her, they're all confused. The trip home was an awkward journey. Lots of questions needed answers. Amié got everyone sat down before explaining the story. She told them all how she and kylo met as children, they ended up falling in love and were happy for a few years. He then disappeared and that today was the first time she saw him in many years. The last time they saw each other they were madly in love. She saw him today and it was almost like that, but very different. She explained how she'd been looking for years, and never thought to look toward the dark side to find him. She never saw him as a bad person. He was pure, kind, strong. Never like what she saw today. She tells of the pain she felt today, how it hurt to be on the opposite sides of the wall, looking in on each other. Trying to see the truth for what it is. She stops talking, even thinking about it causes her pain. It's seen in her eyes.
"Wow..." Rey sighs "that's so horrible...I can't imagine that feeling! I'm so sorry..."
"It's fine" Amié replies "it's no ones fault"
"Maybe you should get some rest" Leia lays her hand upon Amié's and smiles at her "it's been a long day for you. Take some time"
Amié smiles back "thank you"
Amié retreats to her room. Her mind is racing, she can't think straight, all that's running through her Head is Kylo. Amié's communicator starts going off, she accepts the call to see Kylo.
"Amié" Kylo says "please, come and meet me"
"Why?" Amié asks
"It wasn't easy speaking to you in front of everyone else" Kylo sighs
"When?" she asks
"Can you come now?" Kylo questions
"Yes" Amié replies "where are you?"
"Come to the planet you met me on, in the forest, just before the clearing where you first met me"
"Okay" Amié replies "I won't be long"
Amié leaves her room and heads for the flight deck. She quickly jumps in a ship and takes off. As she arrives on the planet she sees Kylo's ship in the distance. He's here. Her heart is pounding, she's terrified but excited at the same time. She lands the ship, gets on her cloak and jumps out of the ship. She makes her way toward the clearing, she stops before the clearing and looks around. She starts looking around, and he suddenly comes out of the trees, making her jump.
"You can't be scared that easily..." kylo laughs.
"Ben!" Amié exclaims.
Kylo looks at Amié and moves closer, Amié backs up a little bit there's a tree behind her. She's leaning against this tree as Kylo is inches away from her face. She looks into his sparking brown eyes, they're captivating, beautiful. Kylo stares into her green eyes, which shine like emeralds as the sun makes its way through the trees and lighting up her eyes. At that moment he kissed her. Just like before. She kissed him back, it was like nothing had ever gone wrong in that moment. 2 people who found each other again. The love that was felt was still so strong. But it was oh, so wrong. Amié didn't care, she loved every moment and never wanted to leave him again. She wanted to be selfish and have him by her side forever. It's all she ever wanted. In that moment, everything was so perfect and she didn't want to let go of that. Amié pulled away and looked at Kylo, her arms still wrapped around him, silent. He knew what she was thinking. It's a question of what happens next.
"I never want to see you walk away" Kylo whispers
"What do you mean by that?" Amié questions
"Come with me" Kylo replies. "I just want to make you happy. To make up for me not being there before"
"Ben..." Amié whispers, she looks into his eyes, and she knows deep down it's what she wants. She wants Kylo. She's thinking selfishly but in that moment she doesn't care. What's stopping her from going with him? It doesn't mean she turns to the dark side, she hopes she can turn him to the light. It's a good idea!
"Yes." Amié whispers "I will go with you..."
Kylo's face lights up. It's nicer than seeing a mean looking face all the time. A smile is a start! I leave with him, no word to the resistance, she just leaves.
