Master of Darkness

by Herondale25

I rise, standing up and lifting my head up to meet Snoke's gaze. "I will no fail you, Supreme Leader." "We shall see." Snoke says. I turn back around to my companions, specifically to Leera and Ramen, who for the first time since our departure from the temple, look confident in their decision to be by my side. They both look powerful, powerful and proud. Ben Solo is dead.

data-p-id=4030e58bdaabd6cb3d2cad67e90a835e,"I hadn't imagined it to be like this." Zaw says, stepping off of the ship.

data-p-id=1d519f7cf69daa3d496a5961c60a065d,Leera turns around swiftly, glaring at him. "And what did you expect? Soaring buildings, casinos, and models?"

data-p-id=5789c7e485fd96df971d73b066b9792a,Zaw shrugs. "It's as if you can read my mind."

data-p-id=7576433e583321e5840fe3a86655a5fd,Leera rolls her eyes and continues to walk forward, starring at the house in front of us; her father's home.

data-p-id=9a0fdda44c770a4e09d36847d2478236,I place a hand on her shoulder. "Ask your father for some supplies, bring Ramen with you. The rest of us will check out the cave." I say.

data-p-id=76f0f45ce4e88c1a1dc41b83e493a9b6,She nods to me, walking over to Ramen and lacing her fingers through his, then walking towards the house.

data-p-id=c000034610260b281f517cf3a0bcc0b1,I knock once on the door, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I feel Ramen squeeze my hand, but as the door opens he slowly lets go.

data-p-id=0eb35d3839be7ce47caaf7083d648b8b,My father looks different from when I last saw him, his hair is more grey and there are more wrinkles around his eyes. When he sees me, his face crumpled and he starts to cry.

data-p-id=55c505800ca268d5821d58dae44ec32f,"Leera?" He asks, looking me over in awe, I nod over and over and fall into his arms, not realizing how much I have missed him until now.

data-p-id=154f0352fcf097d6c476946fcfe901b9,Father pulls back from me, lightly placing a hand on my cheek, I place my hand on top of his, pressing my face into his palm. I turn back to Ramen who is smiling at me, then he extends his hand towards my father.

data-p-id=f7086060a112587672dfe92e78455087,"Ramen Ren, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." He says.

data-p-id=63346ffaa255529f126c086b5d759494,My father takes his hand, smiling at Ramen as he shakes it. "Are you a Jedi along with my Leera?" He asks.

data-p-id=e68cc297841d77a4eb6bb878fe1e0a80,My face begins to fall, I briefly look down contemplating what to say. I try to remember Hux's words, try to be brave, but I can't bring myself to tell him, I can't risk him hating me.

data-p-id=69c5e0817e164a45a5c9380917bdc083,"Yes Father, Ramen is a Jedi along with me. We are a part of a force organization called the Knights of Ren, we are currently here to retrieve our lightsaber crystals."

data-p-id=d1c9ec910033b115a7007aee1307009a,I can see Ramen looking at me, but I refuse to look at him, because I know it will make it harder for me to keep up with the lie.

data-p-id=731d23e641c4c69c82a70c35b77f101e,Father looks pleased. "Is there anything I can help with?"

data-p-id=aa541b02799d1656fcf20b889789b1f1,I nod, not making eye contact with him. "Yes, we will need more fuel, as well as some food and a place to stay."

data-p-id=892e33fab8acb1ef43703d71612b60d9,Father places a hand on my shoulder and leads me inside. "Anything for my daughter and the Jedi." He says.

data-p-id=3bd4135b7d8e13b9a9f3262915091a5f,When we enter into the house more the nastolgia of seeing my home truly hits. It is just as I last saw it; green couches in front of a fire place built into the wall, a small kitchen to the right of the couches, then a white stair case leading up to the bedrooms.

data-p-id=d488f998e7440a2ba7dd9313859ce0da,From upstairs I hear footsteps and a smile spreads across my face. My sister comes running down the stairs, crashing into me so hard that I almost fall over.

data-p-id=6e03467569e864d03f52acbb3393af1e,I clutch at her tightly, tears beginning to spill down my face. "I've missed you Abbi." I whisper to her.

data-p-id=ae41bc1565defbfcd388fac8fef582b0,"I've missed you too Leera, more than I can express."

data-p-id=1b5f35e55e444b4d79bdb45171c58b5e,-

data-p-id=8d2bbe022e55d9e9300ca05b0774fe54,We begin to make our way towards the ship, seeing Ramen coming out of Leera's house. I run a bit ahead of the other knights and clasp him on the shoulder. "How is she?" I ask.

data-p-id=659adf863b41ce4db737e2ccf64a2f44,Ramen raises his eyebrows and sighs. "Beautiful family reunion, but she told him we are all Jedi."

data-p-id=323c825ad9e2c405787be0a3c59714ca,"I didn't expect her to tell him the truth."

data-p-id=ced9f6492a624efd3a22bf23c3675d4a,"Neither did I. Her father gave us the fuel we need and I already put it on the ship, he is making dinner for us now." Ramen says, scratching his head.

data-p-id=b09467f7509c3cdf5170627cd93e7ba5,"Where is Leera?" I ask looking around.

data-p-id=ffa72b7c139f79376bcd5616e37a2999,"With her sister, who is quite talkative." Ramen says, rolling his eyes.

data-p-id=1128f5fc49589108effea979af80b398,I start to stalk off towards the house, Ramen by my side. "I hate children." I mutter under my breath.

data-p-id=9423e5d77b233a6b1e67702a871d14a2,Ramen hears it, getting a small laugh out before we make our way into the house.
