The air was warm and sticky with humidity against Rey's skin making her sweat. She had grabbed her staff and took off out of the base as fast as she could and without looking back. Rey had been walking for at least an hour, but she noticed the humming that she was hearing was becoming louder with each step. It was no longer just the humming pulling her forward, but the Force. Rey could feel it all around her urging her forward, practically pushing her.

Rey walked for another 10 minutes and the humming had become so loud it was starting to make her head hurt and the force was so intense around her she felt like she could barely breathe. She stopped just a few feet outside of the opening of a cave. The mouth of the cave was pitch black and Rey could feel her heart racing in her chest. She took another step forward and the noise increased again. The cave was the right direction and Rey was terrified. She walked into the mouth of the cave and the tunnel gently sloped and curved to the right, then the left and back to the right. The path underneath her feet eventual leveled out and Rey could see lights at the end of the tunnel. They were dim from afar but the closer she got the brighter the lights became. Rey continued forward, the humming noise becoming louder and the force tugging at her. She stepped out of the tunnel and into a large open cavern.

The room was made from rocks and every which way she looked she saw crystals. Blue, green, yellow, purple, and green. Rey's mouth fell open. She couldn't believe where she was. She was staring at crystals. Crystals that she maybe able to use to build a light saber. The humming was roaring in her ears and the force was yanking her in the direction of one of the crystal clusters. She stepped in front of a mass of clear crystals. They sparkled in the light and reflected the colors of the other crystals making it not just clear but multi colored. Rey knelt on one knee and reached out to the base pulling a crystal from the bunch. The moment her fingers closed around the crystal the humming ceased instantly. However, the force continued to ebb and flow around her.

Rey felt a small tug at the back of her mind and everything around her went silent. She looked around for him waiting for his image to appear. Suddenly he was in front of her. She looked up to see Ben only in his black sleeping pants and bare chested. Rey could feel her cheeks flush instantly. Ben was standing over her kneeling form with a glass in his hand. He looked down at her, his brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you doing?" He asked her. Rey beamed up at him. She couldn't hide her excitement in this moment. "Ben." She said smiling wide. "What Rey?" He said. "Ben, look." Rey held stood up and held her closed fist out to him. She turned her hand upward and slowly opened her fingers reveling the small crystal sitting in her palm. Ben looked astonished. "How? Where did you find that Rey?" He asked. "Where are you? Are you on Ilum?" He continued rapidly giving her no chance to respond. "Ben, you know I can't tell you where I am." She said softly closing her fist back over the crystal and dropping her hand back to her side. His response made her sad in a way. She should have known better than to show it to him. He was only going to want to know where she was so that he could find her and the resistance.

"Rey. Stop." He said. "I am excited for you. I was just surprised to see that you had found a crystal." Ben was trying to ease her discomfort at how the conversation had started. Rey looked up to him. Her eyes pierced him and froze him in place. "I'm sorry Ben." She said. Ben reached out and cupped her cheek. "You have nothing to be sorry for Rey." Ben said running his thumb over her cheek. "Have you read the texts?" He asked. "Yes." Rey said. "But they are so old I had trouble deciphering some of them." She admitted. Ben still had her cheek cupped. He couldn't stand not touching her. "Would you like help building your saber?" He asked her dipping his chin to look at her. "Really?" Rey asked back excitedly. "Of Course." Ben said, and he smiled at her. At the sight of his smile Rey's heart raced in her chest. "I would love that." She said softly to him and smiled. Rey placed her empty hand on top of Bens hand that was cupping her cheek. They both felt the Force grow in strength when their fingers touched. Rey closed her eyes and leaned into his touch.

Ben couldn't stop staring at her. She was so beautiful. She had closed her eyes and her leaned into his touch. Oh, how so much had changed. Before she would have been fighting him off with every weapon and defense she had. But ever since the first time they touched, she wasn't afraid of him anymore. She was comforted by him and accepting of him and his touch. Ben couldn't help but close his eyes too. He had thought before that she was making him weak, but the more he was around her the surer about himself he felt. He felt stronger around her, like her light wasn't a downfall but a strength. When she wasn't near he felt empty and weak. Looking for the dark anger to make him strong again. Ben felt her move from his touch and before he could open his eyes her arms wrapped around his waist and she rested her head against his chest. Ben's eyes snapped open and he stood frozen. Rey breathed deep and let out a soft sigh and that was all it took to make Ben relax. He wrapped his arms around Rey and rested his head on top of hers, breathing in her hair. She smelled wonderful. Like a flower that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Rey could hear his heart where her head was placed on his chest. She had snuggled in closer, breathed deep, and sighed at how he smelled. He smelt of clean soap and mint. His chest was bear and warm against her cheek. She felt his arms wrap around her and his head rest on hers. They stood this way for just a couple of minutes saying nothing and enjoying the company. Rey and Ben felt it at the same time. The connection was fading. They both looked at each other still wrapped in the other's arms. "Rey." Ben said. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. Rey closed her eyes enjoying the touch. When she opened her eyes, he was gone. Rey couldn't help but stand there and smile. Ben was going to come back. She just knew it.

Ben opened his eyes, still leaning down to see that Rey was no longer in front of him. He dropped his arms back to his sides. He smiled. Everything about that connection put joy in his heart. Ben could feel the strength from her through their connection pulse through him. He had had enough. Ben was ready to come home. "But how?" he whispered to himself. His smile faded, and misery flooded through his body. There was no way to get to her. If he left, he would be an enemy of the first order and the Resistance would never take him in. They would execute him the moment he landed wherever they were. Dread and anger took over him again. His strength was gone, because his light was no longer near.

Rey left the cave and stepped out into the dim light of the sunrise. She could still feel the humidity against her skin and the smile on her face. Rey ran the entire way back to the base. It only took her half the time to get back as it did to get to the cave. She ran into the base almost frantically in her excitement. She needed to see Leia to see if this was truly a light saber crystal. To get to Leia she had to pass her room. Rey was running full speed and didn't see Poe standing by her door as she rounded the corner and collided with him head on. Rey let out a small yelp and started to fall after the collision, but Poe wrapped his arms around her and caught her around the waist before she could hit the ground.

"Woah! Woah! Easy Rey!" Poe said looking concerned. "What's wrong? What's happening" Poe asked growing more nervous. Rey just smiled at him and showed him the crystal. Poe looked down into her open hand and his jaw dropped open and his eyes went wide. "Is that a-?" He stammered. "I think so Poe." Rey said excitedly. She realized in that moment that his arms were still around her waist and she gently pulled out of his grip. "I have to go see Leia." Rey said, and she started running again towards Leia's room.

Poe just watched her run off. A smile overtook his whole face. She had nearly knocked them both out, but he was able to catch her before she fell. His arms around her waist, she fit so perfectly in his arms, he thought. She had found a crystal, and he couldn't even begin to understand how. That woman was astounding and would never stop amazing him. Poe smiled and walked to the mess hall for breakfast thinking about how he could spend more time with her.
