Chapter II
Entering her mind proved fairly easily for one of his power. However, after a first moment of pain and oblivion, he could feel her consciousness strong next to his. The girl was not asleep or gone, however she was unable to stop him like Rey had did.
Slightly relieved by that, Kylo started browsing her thoughts like pieces of paper. Gently, so not to destroy her brain, he looked into her life. She saw her scavenging into Jakku caves and shuttles' skeletons, sharing several meals and laughing with his cousin. They were clearly connected by deep bond of affection and sisterhoods, as Mircei had told.
Still, her mind and thoughts were a lot darker than Rey's. She didn't have hope for the future, instead she was chained to a blind rage for what her fate had turned to be. He shivered in surprise by feeling such a familiar sensation of hate coming from the stranger. Her darkness had not killed her yet, but he could see how torn apart she was and how much she had pushed herself into humiliation and sufferance.
"I am not proud of these." She spoke , while he was looking at some of these dark moments. He ignored her voice, but kept looking farter. He found her finally younger and innocent, all dressed in satin in a place that seemed to be her family house.
Her first years of life had been happy and golden, loved by her parents and clearly educated to a luxury and a lifestyle she could barely recall now.
And finally Ren saw something he was not expecting and which caught his attention: the old man of the Jakku village, Lord San Tekka, was there, or at least a younger version of himself was.
Mircei was alone with him, but she kept looking through the window into the garden, where a young Rey was saying goodbye to her father Luke. She was clearly eager to go and play with her new friend, soon sister to be.
"Mircei – the man spoke, finally catching a glimpse of her interest- This girl will be your family's responsibility and yours as well. You need to do all you can to protect her and keep her safe. She is very important".
"I will – she reply- Can I go play with her now?"
"Not yet. There is also another thing you need to know. She is powerful with the force. And so are you. We cannot allow the two of you to be discovered for what you are. You would be in real danger". And so speaking, Lord Tekka held his hand in the typical Jedi gesture. Young Mircei's eyes became wide and empty while her memories were being swept away.
"You will forget everything about the force. You will not feel it, nor use it, nor remember it does exist except in the myths. Keep it in the darkest piece of your soul, and there it shall stay unless a Jedi should awaken it again".
The girl face stayed emotionless for a couple of minutes, then she woke up from the trance and looked at the man again.
"Can I go play with her now, uncle?".
Widely surprised from what he had seen, Kylo Ren retrieved his control from Mircei's mind. He could feel her shock and disbelief as she looked into her past: she clearly had not idea of being one of the rare force sensitive people still alive in the universe.
Before she could say or do anything, he touched her neck with his hand and put her quickly to sleep. He was not going to risk her playing Jedi tricks right then, repeating the shameful escape Rey had done. He searched into her mind again, and there it was. While Rey has had her memory removed but her force untouched, he could see as Mircei's force was bound with a sort of lock. It was there but still, as a dead stone inside her heart.
