Anyway, it's time to continue on.

Chapter 3

"Come on Rey I need you to focus," Luke voiced to his padawan as they sparred.

"I'm sorry master." Rey parried a strike aimed at her leg and lunged for Luke's shoulder as he too deflected it. The hilt of his lightsaber still felt odd in her hands but she was getting used to it. They've been sparring for 3 hours now and she couldn't help but feel tired, but that wasn't what was keeping her unfocused.

The voice was entering her head again, except it was for longer periods of time and it wasn't just during training. When she went for walks or couldn't sleep she could hear it talking to her. Why aren't you going back to the Resistance? Don't you want to see your friends? Don't you want to complete the mission that was assigned to you?

Of course she wanted to go back to the base, it was her master that was holding her back. He was so frustrating about it that it was driving her crazy. He was as stubborn as she was. The voice kept urging this matter and she wanted to respond to it, she believed that it was all in her head so she simply just said yes in her mind.

What she didn't realize was that on the other end there was someone using her thoughts to his advantage.

"You seem very distracted lately Rey. Is there something that you wish to tell me?

"Uhh I just miss Finn and Poe master. Why won't you come back with me. The Resistance needs you, you're our only hope."

"I've already told you Rey, I can't go back after what happened. I can't face Leia again." The frustration was starting to rise inside her and he was starting to get on her nerves. She heard the voice again, Use your frustration to make your case and bring him back. Don't let him take no for an answer. Defy him if it comes to it.

She didn't like arguing with Luke but it was the only way for her to get him to listen. "Master, Leia needs you, we all need you. I need to get back to the Resistance because they're moving locations, I'm leaving soon whether you like it or not. I want to train with you, but I have a duty of my own. I understand that you don't want to go back but you can't stay away from the war forever and the people who need you most.

If you don't want to go back for the Resistance fine, but at least go back for your sister. She needs you in more ways than you know." Rey turned and left before he could even get a word in. She didn't mean to sound so harsh but if it was the only way to get the message across it will have to do.

She meant what she said about leaving soon. As she walked to her little sleeping area inside a small cave she decided that she would leave the day after tomorrow. With or without Luke Skywalker, she might've failed her mission to bring him back, but she couldn't wait any longer. She knew that Kylo Ren was still out there and she was intent on bringing him and the First Order to their ultimate destruction.

Training the next day was silent. She could tell that Luke didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday. She didn't either but things were starting to feel uncomfortable for the two of them. "Master about what I said yesterday-"

He made a noise to cut her short. "It's fine Rey. I'm not mad at you, I'm just considering what you said. And you're right, I've been running from this fight for too long, as much as it pains me to go back and face everyone I have to do it in order to accept what happened in the past. I'll go with you and we'll continue our training at the base. The last thing that I want is to let my sister down and have another failure."

Rey smiled, she was glad that he would be coming back with her. Her mission wouldn't become a total failure after all. The voice in her head returned. Excellent, now all that you have to do is bring him back. You better hurry before they move the base. Rey had a confused look on her face. The voice sounded more urgent on that last part. Yes, the Resistance was moving, but she wasn't all that concerned about it.

Luke noticed the look on her face and started to try and read her thoughts. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Rey, are you communicating with someone?" She looked at him with a dumbfounded face. She was talking to herself not with anyone else.

"No master, it's just my voice inside my head. I was just thinking." He looked unconvinced, his eyes piercing into hers.

"I've sensed through the force that you were talking to someone else that wasn't you. I've sensed it during training several times. It's why I keep telling you to stay focused."

"I don't understand." He ran his hand through his gray hair as he thought of a way to explain.

"I know that it seems like it's your mind talking, but I can feel that there's another entity inside you. Whoever it is can feel your thoughts and talk to you through the force. You're responding to it by acknowledging it and giving it answers. These type of things are very rare among force sensitives."

"Master I still don't understand. Are you saying that I'm talking to someone through the force and I didn't know about it?"

"Yes Rey, whoever is on the other side is making you think that you're talking to yourself. And you're letting them in, for all we know it could be the Supreme Leader or Kylo Ren. Have they revealed themselves?"

"No. But even if it was them the voice doesn't sound dark at all. It was helping me and encouraging me."

"Yes but it was also influencing your decisions Rey, that's how the darkness begins to form inside you. Tell me, did you ever feel like you could feel someone's emotions or thoughts before?"

"Well there was this one time. It was when Han confronted Kylo and I could feel all of these emotions."

"What were they?"

"There was confliction and anger. But the majority of the emotions were anger."

"I see. I believe I know who is on the other side, Kylo Ren." Rey lost her breath for a second. How could she have been communicating with that monster and not known it was him?

"Bbbut how?"

"When he entered your mind to find the map and you all of a sudden entered his. You forced your way in and it created a connection between both of your minds. It allows you to hear each other's thoughts, feel each other's emotions, it can be used to feel where you are. And as you just discovered you can communicate."

Rey couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had a force connection with Kylo Ren and he was using it to his advantage. Now it all made sense, he wanted to know where the new base was so he could finish what he started. She made a promise to herself that she would never let that bastard in, she would never endanger the lives of her friends.

"Rey if you ever feel like he's trying to communicate I need you to shut him out. Build a wall around your mind. We'll practice it now." They spent the rest of the day practicing this skill until Rey had had enough. Her wall wasn't the best but it would have to do for the time being. It could block him out for about two minutes or so, and that would have to be enough. They needed to get some rest because they were leaving the next day.

Rey tossed and turned on her makeshift bed. It wasn't very comfortable, but she didn't mind. It was better than anything she had on Jakku, comfort wasn't a luxury on that planet. She scavenged for food and clothes, other than that a bed with a mattress wasn't her biggest concern. She still couldn't get over the fact that she had a connection with Kylo Ren. It was so unnerving, to have a bond with the savage was a nightmare becoming a reality.

Even now she could feel his emotions. He was angry, no big surprise there, but there was a sense of self doubt. How could he doubt himself, he was the apprentice of the Supreme Leader and the leader of the Knights of Ren. How could someone like him feel like he wasn't good enough. She didn't ponder about it as it quickly went away and was replaced with red hot anger.

Surprisingly the anger he was feeling made her feel warm in the dark wet cave. It was almost soothing to her, it made her feel relaxed almost. She started to get an idea in her head. Luke said that they could talk to each other through the connection. He gave her instructions to not let him in, he didn't say anything about it having be the other way around. She closed her eyes until she could feel his entire presence within her.

"It's about time scavenger. I was starting to think that you'd never find out about the connection." She could hear him laugh inside her head.

"I know who you are."

"Oh do you now, please enlighten me."

"Your Kylo Ren and I know that you're just using me to find out where the new base is. I'll never give you the chance to find out."

"Congratulations, you've figured out our plan. But the location of your base is just a sliver of information required to accomplish our goal." She had a strange feeling that wherever he was he had a huge smirk on his face. And she wasn't wrong.

"Well what is the plan then?"

"Now why would I tell you hmm? It wouldn't be a secret if I told you now would it. Since you seem to be asking all of the questions I have one for you. What's your name?"

"Why is that of any relevance to you?" She said with a snippy tone in her voice.

"Well I just thought that it'd be rude of me not to know it. I mean we are connected after all, and since you know my name it's only fair that I know yours. Honestly I tire of constantly referring to you as the scavenger from that desert planet."

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. He wanted to know her name, in doing so to make them feel equal in a sense. She sighed. "Fine. My name is Rey and before you ask no I don't have a last name."

"Really why is that?"

"Why do you care?" She could feel him getting frustrated a little bit from her constantly questioning his motives.

"Look Rey I just want to know more about you to make this seem less awkward. We didn't ask for this, the least we could do is try and get to know each other better if we're just going to keep being in each other's heads." She sighed, as much as she hated to admit it, he did have a point. If they were going to keep doing this it'd only be fair for them to try to get along. They can't be fighting all the time.

"Fine I'll tell you, but only to shut you up. I was abandoned on Jakku by my family and I don't know who they are. That's why I don't have a last name, I don't know it."

"I'm sorry to hear that. You know Rey if you come and train with me I can help you to find your parents." Rey couldn't believe what she was hearing. On one hand she thought it was kind of him to feel sorry for what happened to her. On the other hand he must have thought that she was stupid if she was ever going to consider joining him.

"Why would I ever come join you. I would never serve the Supreme Leader or the likes of you. If you think that it's going to be that easy to turn me to the Dark Side you probably aren't as smart as I thought you were. And besides how do I know if you're just lying to get me to join you."

"That's just it Rey, you don't know. The Dark Side is very powerful, you can do things you couldn't possibly imagine with the light. With the First Order's resources there is a good chance that we could find your parents."

"Ha, you're lying. Why would you tell me this if you weren't persuading me to come join you." She could feel him getting angry. She would have to end this soon before she made him too upset.

"I'm telling you the truth Rey, I can help you in ways that Skywalker and the Resistance never could. I want you to join me because I see the potential in you, I see the power that you have and I can help you to unlock every single part of it. Sooner or later Skywalker will start holding back on you because he's afraid that you'll become too powerful and come to the Dark Side."

"Maybe I'm alright with that. I don't want to go to the Dark Side, I don't want to join you. Now if you don't mind I'm going to bed."

"Fine. I'll be in touch." Like hell you will. The last thing she needed was to have another conversation with him. But she had to admit, she liked talking to him. He listened to her and she thought that he understood her. He even felt sorry for her with her parents. Her parents, he offered her help in finding her parents. It was so tempting to take it. For a moment she believed that he was telling the truth, but she had to deny it. This was just a ploy to get her to join him and she wouldn't buy it.

But he had sounded so sincere to her when they were talking, like he actually wanted to help her. And those things that he said about Luke, were they the truth as well? He'll never hold back on her training, would he? She growled in frustration. "Great, just GREAT!" He was getting inside her head and confusing her.

She did her best to try and clear her mind, she needed to get some sleep before she left tomorrow. It was going to be a long day she could tell.

AN: Well what did you guys think? I made Rey a little snippy because she wants nothing to do with this connection. I also made Kylo a bit more understanding, he has to find some way to convince her to join and trust him.

Chapter 4 is finished so again, you won't have to wait long. Please review I want to know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions or tips to help me, that would be great as well.

Until the next chapter, so long!
