Chapter Seven
Leia was alone when she heard the news. She felt uneasy as if she felt those lives lost. Her heart felt weak as she saw the holovids from Naboo. She saw her son make the order. No words were spoken just hand movements and then she saw those people killed. The children were spared however they witness the deaths of their parents. He gave a speech upon which was a warning. Declaring the children will be admitted into the Stormtrooper program and any found to be Force sensitive become Knights of Ren the new royal guard.
"You saw it?" He asked.
"I felt their deaths before the holonews thread." Leia said emotionless her heart breaking. "So, he had taught you well when it comes to ruthless ruling and killing of innocence."
"How were they innocent?" He asked.
"The children Ben are you really going to take their childhoods away after taking their parents away." Leia answered her voice breaking she wanted to cry. "I did not see my son. I saw the beast Snoke created after planting the seeds of darkness within him."
"I arrange for this dinner to talk and reconnect our lost relationship." Kylo said calmly. "I was hoping that the events on Naboo didn't stop this."
"I have accepted your dinner invitation." Leia said calming her voice. "The events on Naboo hadn't stopped that however I think the events have stopped your chances with Rey. She'll feel their deaths through the Force then she'll see the holonews and she'll never be yours."
"Enough!" Kylo said angrily slamming his fist down on the table. "You think I wanted to make that order. You think I wanted those children to witness their parents deaths. You think I wanted that bloodshed. I didn't want any of it, but I had to do it. I had to make that decision as Supreme Leader."
Leia remained silent truly she knew her son didn't make the order, but Kylo Ren Supreme Leader of the First Order made the order to execute the Rebel sympathizers in cold blood. The news spread fast and the Resistance didn't learn the execution of Rebel sympathizers on Naboo. As soon as Rey and Poe return to Takodana. Rey took a Jedi text book about lifting. With that she was able to left the Falcon out of the large lake with some water damage it had to stay grounded until repairs could be done to get her flying again.
Rey sat down. She was breathless and in pain. Pain in her stomach to her heart. She had to seat down and take deep short breaths to regain her balance. Why was she feeling this way? Maz looked at Rey seating on a rock seeing the stock on the girl's face. She had felt to through the Force. Maz sat next to Rey and took her hand. Rey turn to Maz to see sadness in the old woman's eyes.
"We felt their deaths through the Force and we morn for them." Maz spoke gentle tenderness in her voice. "When Grand Moff Tarkin order the destruction of Alderaan. A old Jedi called Obi-Wan Kenobi felt those deaths."
"Will I feel death through the Force again?" Rey asked her voice cracking.
"If more come then yes and their children taken away to become Stormtroopers or Knights of Ren if found Force sensitive." Maz answered looking at Rey's satchel. "Mediate and calm your mind to seek away through the Force is great, but others can help when asked even in books. I know someone will stay there not page turners, but I believe they give the reader so much more and revealed something new every page you turn."
Maz gave Rey her satchel and took out one of the Jedi books. A smile on her face away to say this is the one. Rey took the book even though it was thousands of years old it still felt strong. Rey smiled back at the old woman before grabbing her satchel and started to make her way into the castle underground. A transport was waiting and ready to take the Resistance to Maz's allies. Everything was load up and ready. The porgs happily re-nested on Takodana. They'll be fine. They can fly and have tall trees to nest their young. It was for the best they couldn't stay with the Resistance moving around in space. Planet to planet.
"Hey, the holonews is going nuts." called Rose. "There was a public execution on Naboo."
"Public execution on Naboo?" Rey asked. "I got a bad feeling about this."
Rey got onto the large ship and saw everyone watching the holonews. Rey's eyes widen at the sight of Kylo Ren. He was emotionless. No! She thought. She saw him make the command to kill without words and saw the Rebel sympathizers executed before her eyes. Tears stream down her cheeks. So that is what she felt? She felt those deaths. Ben! She thought through their connection. How could you? Her heart was breaking.
Kylo Ren felt something sharp hit his heart. He felt Rey's pain. Her heart was breaking. She had learn what he had done? He didn't like her feeling this way. Feeling her pain. He had hurt her. He didn't want to hurt her. He loved her and he broke her heart. Rey! He called out through their connection. Please forgive me.
OK, so please review apologies for grammar doing my best here. In the chapter a new leader is revealed and will Rey forget Kylo Ren? Can she forgive him? Broken hearts. Review for more.
