Chapter 2:

Kylo Ren was in his room again as Phasma prepped her troops for the trip. Kylo was meditating to try to find the source of the force waves. Kylo couldn't shake up the thought it could have been her. No, not Rey like he had said. Rey was strong in the force on her own merit but for Kylo he had sensed another. He was trying to place where in the blasted galaxy he felt her though. Kylo felt himself getting enraged by not being able to.

Kylo opened his eyes and grabbed what seemed to be a marble. He tossed it up into the air and a map of the star systems came to be. Kylo studied the map for a moment to try to find the source.

"Where are you?"

Kylo felt the force again act up. To him though it was like a gentle wave. His eyes went wide as he swore it was the light trying to pull him in.

"Grandfather please show me the power of the dark side. I feel the pull of the light once more…"

Kylo then felt another wave but it wasn't from the light side. No, this time it was from her. Kylo placed his right hand a few inches away from the hologram. Kylo tried to focus in on it but only could find the system. It was the Western Reaches and Kylo knew he had to contact Snoke. Kylo shut off the hologram and got to his feet. He pressed a button on the wall and waited.

"Commander Ren." Hux's voice rang out.

"General Hux, arrange an emergency meeting between Snoke and I."

"Yes Commander."


By the time Ren made it to the theater, Snoke and Hux were waiting for him. Kylo had his helmet on but Snoke could see that Kylo's eyes were looking up at him. Hux looked upset as always and Kylo just brushed the look off. Kylo didn't have time for Hux's crappy attitude.

"Knight of Ren what is it that you want?" Snoke asked.

"Supreme leader, I believe I have found the source of the issue." Kylo spoke.

"Have you now?"

"We do not control the system or the planet most likely but they are in the Western Reaches."

Snoke didn't say anything.

"Supreme leader, I believe that Ren isn't fully sure in this. I don't want to waste our troops time on a hopeless chase." Hux spoke up.

"Supreme Leader, the force has lead me to her."

Snoke stayed silent for a few moments before he spoke up once more.

"Gerenal Hux make sure Captain Phasma's unit is ready for departure. Ren, you are to go to the Western Reaches and find the cause of this."

"Yes Supreme General." Both Kylo and Hux said.

The hologram of Snoke vanished and both Kylo and Hux turned to leave the room. The tension between the two could be felt. Hux was getting annoyed with the fact they haven't got the map, and Kylo was annoyed with Hux being a hater.

"Ren." Hux said.

"General." Kylo said turning to him.

"I hope your judgement is valid. Remember we need to find the map to Skywalker, dilly-dallying isn't necessary."

"General, you need to trust me like the Supreme Leader does."

Hux stopped waking and Kylo took a few steps ahead of him before he stopped. Kylo knew that Hux was feeling upset and he didn't need to read his mind.

"I don't trust you Commander Ren! How can I when you let that droid escape. How many times did you fail in a mission?!"

Kylo was close to force choking Hux.

"General Hux, I out rank you keep that in mind. I wouldn't dare speak to me like that."

Kylo turned and walked away from Hux before he did anything rash. Kylo knew if he killed Hux, Snoke would be upset with him. Kylo looked out towards the stars and planets. His thoughts were on her.

"Is it really you?"


Maz have gave Callista the day off; Callista would leave during the night time seeing how she could see better. At times Callista wished she had a guide wolf like her Mother and Grandmother had. Sadly she never was able to get one. Right now though Callista was sleeping in her bed, resting for the trip.

Callista laughed as she looked up at the man in black. Callista couldn't see his face but could see the rest of him. To her it was like a mystery, that she wasn't allowed to know who he was. Callista knew it was a man though; the body was built as one.

"You know you did piss me off earlier." She said to the man.

"I'm sorry if I did. You know how Hux is…" He replied.

"Yes I do but still…I'm not mad at you right now just worried about you."

"Why?"

"I know how you get. One moment you're calm but the moment…the slightest moment something happens you throw a fit. Foo, foo! And things get broken. I'm sorry but you can't blame anyone for getting upset at this."

The man sighed and turned away from her.

"The Supreme Leader wants to see you."

"I don't want to see him. I'm a grey Jedi; I'm a decedent of the leader Shadow Jedi. I don't plan on taking sides in this seeing how it's not my war! Listen to me…yes I love you but Snoke can suck it for all I care. I don't believe in him and whatever he has planned for me you can forget it."

The man would have normally choked the person for talking about Snoke like this. But he couldn't with her. Callista scooted up the bed and rose to her feet. Callista wrapped her arms around him and placed her head on his back.

"I love you Ky, just…"

"Don't worry about it Calli, I won't force you but if he makes me I'll have to take you."

The man turns around his face is no longer hidden.

"I know."

Callista placed her hands where she could opened the mask. The hissing of it could be heard and slowly she pulled it off of him. But before Callista could see the face of Kylo Ren she woke up.

The alarm rang loudly causing Callista to wake from her slumber. It was dark out and Callista could see clearly. The night time reminded her of home but not the outside. In Lunox it had cities and it was lit up but not bad to the point where it would cause them blindness. Here at Takodana though, there wasn't any cities, no lights from it. Just the stars of the galaxy lit the planet at night, and for the years that Callista was on Takodana it took her breath away.

Callista slid out of bed and walked out of the room. Once Callista got to her home in Lunox, she'd be able to get some clothing and stuff she needed. Maz had stocked the ship with food and water for her. Callista smiled and shut the door behind her; the castle was still as she walked through it. Her footstep echoed leaving a haunting chill. She would have thought someone was up but little did she know she was right.

Callista heard footsteps behind her and slowly she turned. Maz stood there with a smile on her face. Callista walked over to her and got onto her level to look at her in the eyes. Maz hugged the girl she called her daughter and Callista returned it.

"Be careful out there. With the First Order running about no telling what they would do with you. Promise me you'll contact me when you when you get home."

"I will Maz I promise."

The two break away and slowly Callista left the castle. The stars greeted her but for some reason Callista started to feel uneasy. It was like the wind turned into ice as it harshly blasted her hair into the air. Callista knew this was going to be a long walk to her ship. Maz had the ship hidden in the woods far away from the castle. Only Callista and her knew about it and was the only escape they would have. Maybe that's why Callista felt guilt in a way for leaving.

Callista looked back up to the sky and saw something moving. She pulled out a mini spy glass that Maz have given her a while back and, pointed it up at the sky.

"Oh no!"

Callista had saw some First Order ships heading toward the planet. Callista broke out in a sprint trying to get away from the castle the best she could. She wasn't about to Maz in danger…


Kylo had left the Finalizer with two shuttles in tow. He had sensed her getting closer to him and a smirk played on his face. He was certain this was going to be an easy mission…but then again it was never easy. Usually people tried to fight back but his force abilities could stop them. Even the Stormtroopers could take them down. Kylo walked away from the cockpit and walked over to Captain Phasma.

"Captain, I want the girl alive and not dead. I believe that Snoke has interest in her."

"Yes Commander Ren."

Kylo nodded and walked off. Right now Kylo felt the force jolt in his core of his body like lightning. It wasn't anxiety or nerves. It was like Kylo could feel her emotions. He associated lightning with fear, when fear struck, you ran like lightning was striking. Kylo looked out the window to see that they were in the planet's atmosphere.

"Excuse me Commander Ren." Phasma spoke breaking Kylo's thoughts.

"Yes Captain?"

"Do we know what this girl looks like or is this like the Scavenger?"

Kylo nodded his no. Phasma wanted to sigh out loud but knew that wouldn't be useful. She knew Ren wouldn't allow any fits (unless his own) to go down. He would end up ending her and anyone else for that matter. Slowly the ships start to land and both Phasma and Ren go to walk out with the troopers.


Callista ran like the forest was on fire. She couldn't stop now; not with the First Order being here. She heard the shuttles land nearby here. If she had of how they were a part, she'd guess two-hundred yards at most. Callista knew she had to move or she'd be caught.

Running…

Callista was running deeper into the forest and, her heart was beating so hard she could hear it. The First Order and the sense of déjà vu came over her.

"This…this is my dream…" She thought to herself.

Callista wanted to stop but she knew she couldn't. Her mind, body and soul refused that. Callista ran over the bridge and into the forest, or at least the other side of it. She now could hear the footsteps of the troopers. Callista without a thought force jumped into the trees above. Callista felt a small sense of relief as she was able to catch her breath. Moments later the Stormtroopers came into her line of sight.

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

Callista waited till they were both out of ear and eye shot. Callista let out a breath and this time she gripped onto her lightsaber. Callista knew what was coming up next. Her body felt shaky from her nerves.

Drip…

Drop…

Drip, drop…

Pour…

BOOM!

"Are you kidding me right now? This wasn't supposed to happen." Callista recalled.

The abnormality made Callista wonder what would happen next. Callista couldn't see the man in black anywhere around her. Callista jumped down and landed on her feet. Next she shut her eyes and stretched the force out to sweep the area as much as she could.

"Oh nuts!" Callista whispered as she took out her lightsaber.

Behind her a few feet away was Kylo Ren. Callista whipped around ready to fight. Kylo didn't speak at first; he was studying her closely. Kylo say Callista's brown nearly black hair, silver colour eyes and pale skin. But Kylo noticed the maroon laced eye cover that Lunox female wear. His breath nearly caught as he knew where he's seen that before.

"So…it is you."

Callista unleashed her saber's blade. The blade was purple but instead of a white base it was black.

"If it isn't Kylo Ren! Why are you here?"

Kylo activated his cross-saber, Callista rolled her eyes.

"Red, of course! Damn Sith and their obsession with the colour."

"You have a choice; you either come with me peacefully or I take you by force."

"How about neither!"

Callista jumped into the air and went to slash Kylo, Kylo blocks the attack and Callista landed behind him. Callista went for another attack but Kylo blocked it. Kylo turned his body sharply and forced kicked Callista. Callista went flying but was able to bounce off of a tree. Callista put her left hand out and tried to use the force to push Kylo back. Kylo rooted himself on the ground and Callista was shocked.

"That should have worked! What the stars?!"

Kylo under his helmet smirked. Kylo this time put his left arm up and Callista was stuck in midair. Kylo moved his arm and Callista went flying. Callista let out a loud scream as her body hit a tree. Callista's head it hard, not enough to kill her but to knock her out.

"You under estimate the power of the dark side." Kylo said.

Kylo walked over and deactivated the black and purple light saber. He clipped in onto his belt and lifted Callista into his arms. The storm kept pouring down on the two force users as Kylo walked off with her. Kylo also activated his radio.

"Captain Phasma, get your troops to the ships. I have who we're looking for."

"Right away Commander Ren."
