A/N: Hello all! I'm so happy with the response this fic is receiving. So I really don't know how often I will be able to update due to the fact I'm going into a new job but I will try my very best to update as much as I can. To answer a question I have received, I wanna say this story begins maybe a two or three years before TFA.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Star Wars or any of their characters, only my own.

Isabelle was a kind caring woman who believed there was always a bit of good in others. But she was beginning to drop that theory after the past couple of months. Since Ben, no Kylo, had taken her away from the life that she had once known. She watched the man that she loved become a monster. No matter how many hugs, kisses, and promises that he gave her, none of it revived the trust she was losing in him.

She tried her best to stay out of sight while on the Star Killer Base, not wanting to run into General Hux, who she knew hated her or Captain Phasma who just ignored her presence. The only time she rarely left their room was when Kylo made her, mainly to show her off, or at least she thought that was the reason. She preferred the solitude of their room, where she knew she wouldn't be bothered. She wouldn't even leave the room to eat, so Kylo would send a storm trooper to bring her something.

It seemed that he had might even had been worried for her. In between training and the search for Luke Skywalker, he would occasionally stop by the room to check on her. Half the time they spent it in silence or arguing. In Kylo's mind, he had set her free, they were free to be together like they always wanted. Of course he tried explaining this to her, but she would begin to cry and yell at him for the murders of her parents. She would tell him every time, "I never wanted it to be like this!"

But by the end of the day, they would be in the same bed. He would usually lay on his side and no matter what position she would be in, he would always wrap his long arms around her waist and pull her into his chest. And anytime he would pull her into a kiss, she would simply pull away and hide her face, not wanting it to go any further.

One particular night when she pulled away and laid her head on his chest, he played there to think before speaking.

"Have I done something to wrong you?" He asked.

"No," She shook her head only to feel his eyes on her, knowing he didn't believe that. "It's just… I'm not feeling well."

"I could have them send a medical droid to check on you, if you'd like."

"No, no it'll pass I'm sure."

The two laid there in silence, his fingers played with her dirty blonde curls, while hers played with the material of his sleep shirt.

"I know this has been a big adjustment for you, Isabelle. But I can't help but feel like you're avoiding me."

"I'm not avoiding you, you're just busy. Besides I'm mainly spend my time in here. It's more peaceful." She said, hoping he would drop the issue.

"You know, General Hux has offered you a position in the medical ward. I told him about your practices of a healer. I think it would be perfect for you, help you be more productive instead of locking yourself away."

Isabelle scoffed. "I'm fine locking myself away, thank you." She pulled away and sat up, swinging her legs to the edge of the bed, sitting there before turning to look back at him. "And I'd appreciate it if you would leave me out of your First Order business."

Kylo sighed, he sat up himself and walked over to her only to kneel in front of her, holding her hands in his. "I know this has been hard for you, but I'm am only trying to help you. You seem… depressed. I can barely make you eat anything. I don't like seeing you like this."

Isabelle stayed quiet, this was the most emotion he had shown her in months.

"We always talked about running away together and possibly marriage in there someday." He went on. "But after our last argument, it made me think. What we have is truly special and shouldn't be forgotten. You yourself are such a kind being with so much love to give. Which is why I think we should have a child of our own."

That's when she felt her heart drop. "I- I don't-"

"Just let me finish. I have no doubt in my mind that you would make an excellent mother, Isabelle. And hopefully our child carries the force, what better teacher than their own father?" He gestured to himself. "Think about it, a new generation to rule the galaxy."

She was speechless, she almost couldn't breathe. She quickly pulled her hands out of his and stood up to step away from him. Finally she turned back to look into his eyes. "I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves. I just don't think we're ready for that."

Hoping he would take the denial in a less aggressive way, she waited for his response. She watched as his hands turned into fists at his sides.

"I think it would be good for you, Isabelle. You need something to bring you back from this state that you're drowning in. You never leave this room. You refuse General Hux's offer to be apart of the medical staff. I told the Supreme Leader you would be of value here with me and to the First Order. So far you have done nothing to show for it."

"And you think carrying your child would prove me of value?!" She asked huffed, shaking her head. She tried to move round him to the bathroom but he stepped in her way, towering over her. "You don't scare me, Ben."

He gripped her face in his hand like he had done before and shoved her into the wall, causing her to hit her head and let out a yelp. "Remember what I told you about my temper."

Tears were welling in her eyes and now she realized, she truly was scared of him. She used whatever strength she had and pushed him away. She then ran into the bathroom and closed the door.

~xXx~

Isabelle stayed in the bathroom for the next few hours, terrified to leave. Sure Kylo threw tantrums at times, but never actually physically harming her. She could still feel where he gripped her face. She couldn't believe the argument, over children. Not that Isabelle didn't want children, just not now or with kylo. She knew he would probably bring it up again and there would be no escaping it.

'I need to get out of here' She thought. But how? She couldn't fly a single ship and they were in Space. She didn't care where she went, as long as she was away from this place. She just needed to find someone who could fly her away. 'Who? A storm trooper?' Now she was losing hope.

She slowly opened the bathroom door to check the room, there was no sign of Kylo to be seen. She breathed a sigh of relief, stepping out and over to her closet to change out of her sleep dress. Once she was changed, she quietly made her way out of the room. There had to be some way she could get out of this place.

After wandering around for about fifteen minutes, she heard voices nearby. She looked around and found an empty room and took to hide. She peaked out the door to see to First Order officers, along with three storm troopers quietly marching behind them.

"The first shuttle will be leaving for Takodana in approximately thirty minutes, from gate five. We have a few followers hiding within Maz Kanata's castle waiting for the supplies." Said the first officer. "Drop the supplies off with them and leave."

The second officer chimed in. "They will be waiting for you around the back of her castle."

That was it. She just needed to sneak aboard that shuttle. She waited for them to pass, discussing where they would be delivering other supplies and the she was off.

Isabelle had eventually found her way to the hangar where all their TIE fighters and other ships remained. She tried her best to stay hidden and out of anyones eye as she silently repeated the words "Gate five." Then she found it, the shuttle itself was small and was currently being stocked with whatever supplies they were delivering to these so called followers. She silently waited for them to finish loading the shuttle before slowly and carefully sneaking aboard. She found a small spot behind a large cargo covered in thick net. Once she made sure she wasn't going to be seen, she heard a group of storm troopers enter and confirm that they were leaving.

Throughout the entire flight, Isabelle was terrified of being found. Especially after the way kylo had reacted to her answer earlier, she didn't even want to know what he would do if he found her trying to leave. Part of her felt guilty for leaving, her love for Ben solo was still there. But Ben Solo was no more. And she couldn't stay with a man who could easily kill a group of people without showing any regret or remorse.

It wasn't long before they finally arrived. Isabelle waited for the troopers to finally begin carrying some of the cargo off. When she noticed everyone of them had carried out a box, she silently followed the last trooper, which led her outside.

She had never seen so much green, the plant life in Takodana was beautiful. All she had seen for months was snow and darkness, she missed grass and the warmth of the sun. She quickly tore her gaze from the wild life surroundings and to a big castle, where the storm troopers were disappearing behind. She quietly snuck to the opposite side of the building where she found the front doors.

She waited until they had finished carrying out the supplies and left. She had never felt more relieved than in that moment. But now she had find out what to do. She had got what she wanted, freedom. But it wouldn't take long for Kylo to see that she was gone, soon he would be sending search parties. Without wasting anymore time, she made her way to the big wooden doors leading to the castle and not knowing what she was getting herself into, she pulled her hood over her head and stepped in.

Immediately, she was greeted by loud music and the smell of different creatures. It instantly reminded her of what Han had told her and Ben about the Cantina. She moved in further only to meet the eyes of some of the creatures who would turn back to whatever they were eating or drinking. It wasn't long before she remembered that the First Order had followers hiding in here. What if one of them recognized her? Before she could worry herself even more, her attention was brought to a small orange creature squinting at her from behind her large goggles.

"You seem to be lost, my dear." She said.

"I- I need help." Isabelle said. Before she could say another word, the small creature pulled her by the end of her cloak. Taking her towards the back of the large room where there were less people.

"I don't support the First Order, I will have to ask you to leave or I can make you go forcefully." She said gesturing to her cloak, which caused Isabelle to sigh in relief. She looked to the left of her cloak and pulled off the small pin with the First Order sign.

"Neither do I," Isabelle defended. She threw the pin on the floor. "I just escaped the First Order. I need to get away, farther."

The creature sighed. "How did you get here."

"Apparently the First Order has followers here. I snuck aboard one of the shuttles, they were delivering some sort of supplies to them behind this castle."

The smaller creature then threw her hands up and began to curse in another language. "I knew it, I knew it." She turned back to Isabelle. "I have no doubt whoever you are, they will come looking."

"That's the reason why I'm looking for someone who will take me some where else." Isabelle lowered her voice. "I've heard rumors, of the Resistance." The small creature scoffed. "Please, I can't go back. I finally escaped."

She adjusted her goggles. "What's your name, dear?"

"Isabelle Caspian."

"I'm Maz Kanata and I think I can help."

"Really?" Maz nodded.

"But I don't do this often! But you seem lost and scared and I think General Organa can help."

Isabelle mouth dropped. "Organa? As in Leia Organa?"

Maz nodded, making Isabelle smile. "Let's go, I know of a resistance pilot who should be here soon. I'm passing something onto the General. I'm sure they can see about bringing you there."

"Oh thank you!" Isabelle bent down to hug Maz, who awkwardly patted the woman's back.

~xXx~

It wasn't long before Maz pulled Isabelle away from her drink and over to a table in the back where another woman with dark hair was sitting. She wore black pants, a white shirt and a pale orange jacket.

"Isabelle, I want you to meet Jess Pava. One of the resistance's finest pilots." Maz said. "Pava this is Isabelle, she's looking for the resistance. She knows the General."

"You didn't say anything about delivering an actual person, Maz." Jess said. "No offense, Isabelle."

Isabelle shook her head. "No, I know its last minute."

"This girl is in danger." Maz said. "She needs to leave. Soon."

"Okay," Jess said. "But you owe me, Maz."

"Anything for you, dear."

They were silent before Jess stood. "We better head out then." She smiled at Isabelle.

Isabelle stood and gave Maz another hug, this time Maz kindly accepted the hug. "Thank you so much, Maz."

The two women headed out the castle and headed toward a small shuttle, smaller than the one Isabelle hid away in. It wasn't long before they were already taking off and on their way to where ever the Resistance was stationed.

"So, how much danger are you really in?" Jess asked.

"A lot." Isabelle didn't really want to discuss why. "I'm very grateful for your help."

Jess just smiled. "It's no problem. So you know General Organa?"

"Yes, it's been a while, though."

"I'm sure she'll be glad to see a familiar face."

The two were quiet before Isabelle spoke again.

"So what business does Maz Kanata carry through the resistance, if you don't mind me asking?" She asked.

Jess just shrugged. "Medical supplies we need, other things, basic supplies we can't get our hands on."

Soon Jess pointed out the base as they arrived. Isabelle had to admit she was nervous, she hadn't seen Leia in three years. After landing, Jess lead her to into one of the buildings, where she was receiving looks from most of the workers. She mainly kept her head down and continued to follow the pilot to the General.

"General Organa, I have someone you'll want to see." Jess said to an older woman.

When she turned around, Isabelle was looking into the face of Leia Organa, the woman who felt like a second mother to her.

"Isabelle," Leia smiled sadly.

~xXx~

A/N: So I'm not going to lie, I had a hard time finishing up this chapter. I usually like my writing to be very detailed so I'm sorry if her escape seems a little rushed. So please let me know what you think and I promise, Poe is coming up!
