Chapter 4:

This is the end, isn't it Grandfather? Please forgive me…I didn't finish it. I couldn't finish it. I felt a single tear roll down my cheek as the ground cracked around me. I've killed my father, but it's not what I thought it would be… as I laid in the snow, I thought about my life and what I've done. Part of me felt proud and wanted to finish my mission, but the other part of me felt alone, and guilty. I've abandoned my only family and murdered my own father. I let out a sigh in frustration. I did what I had to do, he was holding me back. I thought, trying to convince myself that it was the right thing to do. I missed my mother, and Chewy, and Luke. Luke. I heard the stories that he disappeared, and how no one –not even my parents- knows where he is. Because of me. "NO!" I yelled to vast emptiness of wilderness around me. The Dark Side is where I belong, as Kylo Ren. Ben Solo is dead. I scolded myself for feeling guilty about what I've done. This is all for you, Grandfather. Please be proud of me.

Suddenly, as I lay dying in the snow, I heard a ship flying low towards me. "Commander!" I heard a woman yell. As the ship neared me, I saw that Captain Phasma was standing on the open ramp of the ship. I lifted my hand to her and she pulled me aboard. "Sir, you are badly injured and in need of medical attention" she said to me sternly. I wanted to refuse but I knew that I would bleed out and die if I didn't, so all I did was nod my head to agree. Then, after officers began addressing my wounds, I heard a voice. Come back to the Light, Ben. My heart began to race and I frantically started looking around the small room. Use the Force for good, Ben. I heard the voice again and I knew immediately whose voice it was. As I looked to the far corner of the room, I saw a small cloaked being. "Yoda?" I said quietly and sunk into the darkness of sleep.


As I sat just an arm's length away from the last Jedi in the entire galaxy, my mind was racing. I had a million questions to ask and so little time. "How did you know my mother?" I asked him, trying to keep my words steady. Even though there's a storm raging inside my body. "Your mother was…" he took a breath and looking as if he was clearing his mind. He sighed. "Your mother is my wife, Mara Jade".

I felt numb, my ears ringing and my body threatening to fall over and faint. "Your my fathe-?" I stumbled backwards. My world crashing was around me, my family was alive and they left me on that godforsaken planet? All those years of wondering and weeping, for what? Anger bubbled up in my chest and tears threatened to fall. "How could you?!" I screamed. "I was so alone, why didn't you want me?" Silent tears ran down my face and my body began to tremble. I felt his presence get closer and I twitched at his hand on my shoulder. "We did what we thought was best for you, Rey. We were married against the Jedi Council ruling and the Sith Lord was getting stronger and we had to keep you safe. Your mother and I wanted to go back to get you, but when Knights of Rey began killing off the Jedi…" he said sadly. "Is my mother dead?" I asked, knowing what his response will be but not wanting it to be true. He sighed and looked at the ground, "Yes. Your mother was killed when we battled the Knights of Ren." I choked back a sob and covered my face with my hands. I needed to stay in control of my emotions, but memories of my childhood began rising from my broken soul.

I stood up suddenly and began walking away from the cliffs edge to gain a steady head. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Minutes ticked by and I took one last breath before going back to the rock next to Luke.

"So…What should I call you?" I asked him, trying to lighten the mood. Luke chuckled. "I suppose you can call me Father, if you feel comfortable with it" he said lightly with a hint of hope in his voice. I smiled, "Yes, I'd like that very much"

As the sun dipped below the mountains, I realized that Chewy was still back at the ship. "Oh my gosh! Chewy!" I gasped. "We must to get back to base. Leia is probably wondering where we are" I said frantically. Luke paused, then smiled at me and said, "She knows we're okay"
