KYLO REN - Sunday

Kylo's head pounded as he quietly retreated to his quarters. Hux and Ren had been discussing battle strategies—well arguing about them—in the meeting room before he had to excuse himself due to a dreadful migraine.

He paced his room, the pain in his head becoming more intolerable by the minute. Someone knocked on the door, startling Ren. He strode over to his keypad and opened the door, exposing a man. The man, dressed in an officer uniform, spoke with little confidence.

"Supreme Leader Snoke would like to speak with you."

"Thank you," The man shuffled away, and as he went on, he seemed fearful and keen to get away from Kylo Ren.

Ren traipsed to the Throne Room uneasily. He took a left into a corridor with massive gates at the end of it. These gates filled the entire wall from left to right and extended as tall as the ceiling.

The gates opened while he was a few steps away from them. As Ren walked in, the guards straighten up, to defend against an unlikely attack.

"Kylo Ren," Ren bowed his head in greeting.

"Yes?"

"The girl, she has begun her training. Therefore, you must train as well," The girl he referred to was Rey. The girl that Ren had battled, the girl who bested him. The girl who inhabited his every dream. "She will become strong, her power will emulate your own. Your training will become more rigorous, but it is what you need."

Ren nodded, uncertain if there was anything he should say. He always looked forward to his training, and he especially did now.

"The training shall begin tomorrow."

"Thank you, Supreme Leader," Ren bowed as Snoke excused him from the room.

Back in his quarters, Ren took off his cloak and set it on the table. The pain in his head was nevertheless growing, getting worse with every dreaded step he took. Many thoughts filled him and his worries growing heavier as he sauntered towards his bed.

As Ren laid down, he wrapped himself in the warm sheets and bedding that had been spread across his mattress. The muscles in his body loosened for the first time all day and his concerns evaporated away. His eyelids became heavy, and as his breathing slowed, his eyes shut and he drifted off to sleep.

Ben opened his eyes. He was suspended in the air, and all he could see was darkness. He tried to twist and move around, but he was frozen. As darkness seemed to close in on him, the soft, caring, voice of a woman reached out to him.

"Come back, Ben," The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't establish to whom it belonged. "Please, we need you."

A few meters away, a light appeared. In his heart, Ben felt a pulling towards the light. He regained his movement and thrust his way towards the light, glad to think that he could evade the darkness.

Then, his movement ceased and Ben fell, his feet tumbling over his head and then his head over his feet. He let out a deep, blood-curdling, scream as he continued to fall. The light ebbed away as he got further and further away from it. The woman's voice spoke again.

"You can fight it, Ben."
