Chapter 21: The First Lesson

Luke Skywalker stood outside his hut with his hood up looking out to the ocean thinking over the situation involving Rey and he couldnt help but he couldnt get the fact out of his head that his old friend Han was dead and his thoughts were filled with guilt.

Luke then turned to the hut Rey was sleeping in and decided to go check on her and as he slowly entered the hut he saw her sleeping peacefully curled up in the blanket covering her.

Luke just watched her wondering who she really was and soon he slowly raised his hands and searched her thoughts and as he searched her mind she mumbled in her sleep but didnt wake up.

Luke explored everything that she was involved in including her first meeting with Finn on Jakku, her meeting of Han, Chewie but his eyes opened when he saw Evelyn in her thoughts.

Luke never would have thought Evelyn would be involved in all this, he believed that Evelyn and her parents would have been free to live their lives in peace but she was now fighting in the war against The First Order.

Luke took a deep breath and searched her mind again and this time he saw Han get killed by Han Solo at Starkiller base and when Kylo Ren's lightsaber went through Han Luke quickly left her mind and his breathing grew heavy as he looked at Rey and after a few moments he quickly left her hut and back out into the open and fell to his knees trying to control his breathing.

"What have I unleashed..." Luke whispered to himself as his breathing came under control and after a few moments he slowly stood back up and slowly looked down the path leading down to the lower part of the Island and decided to head down it.

Chewie was near a fire he made near The Falcon and was about to eat to birds he managed to catch but he had trouble eating as one bird was near him giving him a sad look and Chewie ended up roaring and the little bird ran off in the distance and Chewie decided not to eat anymore and he threw it to the ground annoyed and in the moment of silence he heard footsteps and saw Luke approaching.

"Hey Chewie.." Luke slowly approached Chewie but he turned away from Luke still not happy with him and Luke sighed and took a seat next to him but Chewie still didnt look at him.

"I'm sorry Chewie I know you are angry but you must understand why I left, I decided to to train a new generation of Jedi and because of that a new threat was born I couldnt forgive myself for what I did..knowing I caused all this" Luke looked to the fire and Chewie slowly turned to him.

"If I could turn back the clock I would Chewie, but knowing that Han died because of what I did..." Luke closed his eyes and lowered his head and then Chewie placed his hand on Luke's shoulder and grunted and Luke looked up at him.

"I wish it wasnt my fault Chewie, I appricate you tell me it wasnt my fault but I dont feel that way" Luke admitted.

Chewie shook Luke's shoulder in support and then picked up his chicken on a stick and offered him some and Luke smiled and shook his head "No thank you Chewie, you need your strength".

Chewie nodded and Luke slowly got up and looked at The Falcon and then looked at the Wookie "Thank you Chewie..".

Chewie nodded and proceeded to eat as Luke entered the Falcon and the little bird came back and Chewie looked at him as he was about to eat and he took a deep breath and lowered his head not eating.

Luke explored the entire ship again and every memory of his time on this ship came back and most of them was painful memories especially when he came to the living quarters as he looked to the table where Leia once comforted him over Ben Kenobi's death at the hands of his father and it brought him great pain and he soon came to the cockpit of the Falcon and activated a switch and every came online and he took one huge look at the old cockpit and soon something caught his eye.

Luke saw a piece of jewelry handing on a wire above one of the seats and slowly took hold of it and placed it in his hand and examined it and his heart grew heavy and he left the cockpit and went back into the living quarters and took a seat and collected his thoughts.

"I never wanted this...everything thats happened because me, why are you involved Evelyn...why did the ones I love get thrown back into this...forgive me Leia" Luke said to himself as he lowered his head.

As Luke fell to silence he heard something beep and he pulled back his hood and looked into the shadow part of the room and saw a familier driod.

"R2?" Luke called out and the droid beeped again and rolled up to him.

"R2..." Luke smiled for the first time in years as R2 finally came up to him as he beeped.

"Yes I know" Luke responded and R2 rocked back and forth as he beeped and looked pointed at him "Hey sacred island and watch your language...old friend".

Luke placed his hand on R2 as the droid went silent and Luke was happy to see his old companion again but his heart was filled with sorrow.

"I wish I could make you understand, but I'm not coming back.." Luke finally admitted and R2 was slient for a few seconds and then turned his head to the left and displayed a hologram and Luke saw it was Leia giving a message to Ben Kenobi from all those years ago.

"Years ago you served my father in the clone wars now he begs you to help his struggle against the empire..." Young Leia played continued to speak and Luke looked to R2 and sighed.

"That was a cheap move..." Luke gave the droid a tiny smile as R2 looked at him and Luke looked back at Young Leia speaking on "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, your my only home".

The message ended and Luke lowered his head and soon looked to down the hall leading out of the Falcon.

An hour had past and in her hut Rey was starting to breath heavy in her sleep "No...no...Leia..Finn.." Rey then shot up gasping "Evelyn!".

Rey looked around and saw she was in a hut and then she saw Luke sitting on a chair near the huts wall "You mind is filled with those you care about".

Rey calmed down as she looked at Luke "They give me strength...".

Luke slowly nodded "Good...hold on to that".

Rey watched Luke get up and came to the entrance of the hut as the sun rised and he looked back at her "Get your things, its time for your training".

Luke took Rey to the highest peak of the island and he escorted her through a huge cave and she couldnt help but look around as Luke went on and there was something about this cave that seemed familer and she realised she saw this in her dreams, Rey then headed up a few steps and saw an emblem on the ground and went to examine but she didnt reconise it at all and she turned to her right and saw Luke standing out the entrance near a small boulder looking out at the sun.

"Master Skywalker we need you to bring the Jedi back because Kylo Ren is strong with The Dark Side Of The Force...without the Jedi we wont stand a chance against him" Rey stated as she stood out by the entrance.

Luke slowly turned and looked at Rey "What do you know about the Force?".

Rey thought for a moment "Its a power Jedi have that lets them control people and..makes things float".

"Impressive, every word in that sentence is wrong" Luke continued to look at Rey as she looked to the side and he turned to the small boulder "Lesson one sit here with your legs crossed".

Rey slowly approached the rock and slowly sat on it crossing her legs and relaxed as she looked at Luke.

"The Force is not a power you have..its not about lifting rocks its the energy between all things the tention, the balance that binds the universe together" Luke explained as Rey listened carefully.

"But what is it?" Rey asked.

"Close your eyes, breath and reach out" Luke slowly spoke.

Rey took a deep breath and closed her eyes and she extended her arm out and Luke rolled his eyes at Rey as she did not understand what she meant so he decided to teach her a lesson, with the leaf in his hand he started rubbing the end of it on her fingertips and Rey gasped with her eyes still closed "I feel something".

"You feel it?" Luke asked.

"Yes I feel it" Rey quickly stated.

"Thats the Force" Luke tried not to chuckle.

"Really?" Rey sounded excited.

"Wow it must be really strong with you" Luke added.

"I never felt anything-" Luke smacked her fingers with the leaf cutting her off her sentence and her eyes snapped open and her mouth wide open "Ow!".

Rey looked up at Luke and he just looked at her and thats when she knew what he meant "You mean reach out like.." Rey placed her hand on her heart and Luke tilted his head and raised his eyebrows as his answer.

"I'll try again" Rey said in a quiet tone and Luke threw the leaf away and took her hand and placed it on the surface of the rock.

"Breathe.." Luke said in a calm tone and Rey tried again and closed her eyes "Just breathe".

Rey's body was calm and her mind was free from any thoughts and she focused on Luke's voice "Reach out with your feelings".

Luke watched her and she was finally calm in both body and mind "What do you see?".

Rey focused and thats when she started seeing things "The island, life, death and decay that feeds new life, warmth, cold, peace".

Luke walked around her and Rey gave a tiny smile "Love..".

Rey's vision then saw something "violence".

Luke was finally behind her "And between it all?".

Rey felt it "Balance and energy..a force".

"And inside you?" Luke watched on.

"Inside me..that same force" Rey smiled.

"And this is the lesson and that force does not belong to the Jedi, to say the Jedi die the light dies is vanity can you feel that?" Luke whispered at Rey finally seeing it.

Rey started to feel something else "Theres something else..beneth the island, a place, a dark place".

"Balance, powerful light powerful darkness" Luke nodded.

Rey looked deeper into the vision "Its cold...".

Luke frowned and then saw the ground beneth them crack open and he looked at Rey.

"Its calling me.." Rey's voice sounded shaken.

Luke saw rocks falling behind him and he turned to Rey "Resist it Rey..".

Rey was silent and didnt repsond.

"Rey!" Luke called to her as he came in front of her "Rey!" he shouted once more but she didnt respond and he had no choice but to pull her off the rock knocking her out of her trance and she placed her hand on the ground before her face met the ground and she gasped for air and Luke just looked at her in fear.

"You went straight to the dark.." Luke watched Rey support herself on the rock collecting her thoughts.

"That place was trying to show me something" Rey was trying to figure it out.

"It offered something you needed..and you couldnt even try to stop yourself" Luke turned away back to the entrance of the cave.

Rey looked at Luke finally calm "You saw it too..".

Luke stopped at the entrance and slowly looked at Rey as she spoke "You've seen this before havnt you..".

Luke took a deep breath "I've seen this raw strength before and in Ben Solo, it didnt scare me enough then...it does now".

"Darth Vader had it too didnt he?" Rey said as she looked at Luke.

Luke closed his eyes and took a deep breath and finally looked back at Rey "No...someone else...".

Rey watched him enter the cave and out of sight and she slowly picked herself up and slowly looked out to the ocean trying to figure out what he meant.

"Rey's chapters will be unique and different but they will also keep this story from straying too far off course sure this is an alternate universe but it I think it still needs a guideline to keep on course but I hope you liked the little changes on this chapter and yes Luke is still connected to the Force he just refuses to use it now anyway next chapter we are back on Evelyn and her journey will begin and we will see her mission take her far and beyond again I hope you enjoyed this and are ready for more :)
