He was drawn to her, like a little child is drawn to candy. The young redhead boy jumps at this and rush's into the Siths arms. She smiles a cold smile showing every last one of her perfect teeth. This couldn't be real, but still young Bennet was overjoyed. The young boy smiles looking into his mother and fathers eyes. Then as if they were never there they vanished. The boy desperately tries to cling to them but is only left with a handful of air.
"Those were your parents young boy, they are strong with the dark side of the force like you"
Bennet turns to see the man who addressed him, but it wasn't a man at all. In was in fact a spirt. The man was clad in a dark robe and had a wrinkled face. He knew this man, Master Han had told him stories of such a man, but he was supposed to be dead. Master Leia had said Jedi Ben and Rey killed him. He remembered him from all the years before the war ended. Master Han had called him Snoke.
"I need your help young boy, and in return you will have all the love you missed from your mother and father. Your mother and father are with me"
Bennet was tempted, bu something put him off, the way the man spoke was odd, it was drawn out and cold. Every word sent shivers down the young boys spine.
"So will you come with us to start a new order young master"
Bennet was surprised and lured at bring called this. If he went with the man he would be a master and have the love of his parents. But what about Jedi Ben and Jedi Rey what would they think of this.
"I need to see what Masters Ben and Rey think first" the boy suggests
" oh it isn't needed that there brought into this"
Snokes's yellow yes glow with anger and malice. Bennet is still unsure.
"Will I see you again" asks the young boy.
Snoke smiles, and nods
"Yess of course you will"
Everything disappears as if it were never there, the young boy opens his eyes to see Jedi Ben sitting and meditating as well.
"What did you see" Ben brushed back a stray black hair. Bennet follows the mysterious Snoke's orders and doesn't tell him the truth.
"Balance, like you described"
Luckily Ben seems to by this lie and nods. Silently the Jedi Master begins to descend the mountain.

Finn sits alone in his cabin thinking. He runs a hand through his hair recalling what his friend had said earlier.
'I'm gay' Poe had said, Finn had involuntarily blushed at that moment. Just to make sure he had heard his friend correct he asked Poe what he had said. Poe had responded with a question on Rey's whereabouts. The mechanic in training didn't know what he had heard anymore.
A knock came at the door, three to be exact.
Finn seized up slightly holding it wasn't Poe.
"It's Rey" someone calls through the door. Finn sighs and slowly gets up to the door to let her in. She smiles and gives him a small hug.
"I haven't seen you that much in over a month, you or Poe" she says sitting down at the little chair in his hut that was assigned to him. He looks up at her quietly. Rey never talked to anybody for no reason.
"I know your force sensitive"
Her words don't shock him, he knows he is too.
"I'm hoping that you are willing to let me and Ben how you the ways of the force"
Now this leaves the dark skinned man shock, he could become a Jedi. Not just a ex- stormtrooper. He looks up to her and smiles. She returns this gesture already knowing his answer.
'Somethings bothering him' Rey felt it trough the force. Finn seemed gentle right now, vulnerable and out of character. She had never seen this side of him.
"I know what your going to ask so just ask it"
"What's wrong Finn"
He looks up at her and sighs leaning back and flopping down on his bed.
"It's something Poe said, I don't exactly know what he said but I think he said something and I" he doesn't finish his sentence staring at the ceiling. Finn doesn't like to be confused, Rey knew that for a fact. She had seen evidence to support her belief on many occasions.
"What did he say" she asks calmly, Finn sits upright quickly and begins to explain.
"He came up to me acting all weird and then he said something... I'm not sure if he actually said what I think he said but"
There he goes Finn's stuttering again.
"What did he say"
"I think he said, 'I'm gay' I mean that's what I heard but when I asked him what he had said he asked 'where's Rey' "
Rey looks up and smiles, she has to say her pilot friend did have a good backup up plan there. She's intuitive, Finn wouldn't be worried about this for no reason.
"What do you want to believe that he said"
This will answer the question, bring him to his senses
"I kinda, well I hope he said, damn this is hard, I hope that he said the gay one"
Rey laughs slightly, her friends had a crush on each other. This was going to be fun to watch, she knew they would do that I'm going to ignore you thing until she helped them and gave them a kickstart. They were both acting like baby's.
"Go tell him you like him then"
Now this was a bit to much, Finn blushed only confirming what she had said more. And before he could stop himself he replied.
"No! I can't what if... oh force did I really just say that"
He closes his eyes and sighs. Rey smiles and gets up to leave.
"Yes you did, I'll see you at dinner tonight" she says and makes her way towards the door. Her friends were in deep, she would have to tell Ben not to tease them for it.

Bennet sat alone at the table he always sat at again eating in peace. Then all of a sudden, there wasn't any peace anymore. The air around him filled with the noise of every child on the base. Not that there were many children, only about six including him. The fact was that now they were including him and on any other day he would have liked it but right now he just wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
It seems that, that was impossible through. The torrent of questions and admiration coming from them was really annoying,
"Are you really and Jedi"
"Can you use the force"
"Can you show me"
"Cut something with your light saber"
He was done with it and learnt taking his plate of dinner with him. He went to Jedi Ben and Rey's table surly they would put a end to this madness for him. The kids followed him and when the young boy sat down he looked up at Rey its a frown of annoyance. Ben smiles slightly, it's obvious the boys not enjoying the attention.
The Jedi master stands levitates and clean dish and chases the children with it. They run and huddle in a corner, thinking they got on the Jedi's bad side.
"Thank you"
Ben smiles at the boy and pats his head. Sitting back down to continue his dinner.
"It's all good Padawan"

Drew didn't like the affection that young Bennet held for the the Jedi... no not the Jedi. Ben Solo was still Kylo Ren, he was still a Sith. Little did he know his worries were just tiny insignificant matter compare to what the young boy was facing. The next time Drew say Bennet that would be interesting. Drew noticed he had taken on a habit of lurking around the couple lately. Poe was getting suspicious, told him to leave them alone. He only got more angry every time he thought of what Poe had said.
'They aren't just boyfriend and girlfriend Drew, they have something unbreakable, something that started with the force don't try to tear them apart if their relationship is balanced then the galaxy is because if Ben were to turn back to the dark side we would have to face a whole new forest order' Drew sniggered at his black leader. The man was so stupid, the galaxy's and fate of the rebellion and first order don't rest in the hands of two lovers.
Drew sighs unbeknownst to the fact that Zoey had appeared behind him.
"Just grow a pair and tell her hotshot" says the tall blonde haired female. He looks back and her with a glare. He didn't need anyone's advice especially someone who told him he didn't have the guts to do something, that he wasn't a man... that he is a wimp.
"Shut up moron"
Drew turns and walks away, leaving a very unhappy pilot behind him.

Bennet sat in his carved out tree home thinking, the offer that Snoke had given him was great but part of him still thought of it as a trick. He made up his mind. The young boy got up and left and began walking down the forest path that led to the hub of the resistance. He needed to talk to General Leia and Han about this, they were always so nice to him.
When he got to the command room they were sitting alone talking. The Solo's didn't notice him until he was standing right there in front of them.
"Hello Bennet what are you still doing awake?" Asked General Leia smiling and giving the young boy a one armed hug.
"I wanted to talk to you about something that I'm scared to talk to Jedi Ben and Rey about, besides he told me to leave them out of this and he said nothing about talking to you guys" the little boy says sheepishly.
Han rightfully goes on the defensive and narrows his eyebrows.
"Who's he kid, what was this mans name"
"His name... he said his name was Snoke... he said my parents were with him and he needed my help"
Leia gasps at the young boy's words, Snoke wasn't and bad as Palpatine but either way this was not good.
"What did he say exactly" Leia asks softly trying to keep calm in the boy's presence. She didn't want to scare him, but obviously that was the late thing on her husbands mine.
"Kriff kid why didn't you tell us this immediately, this is really bad, that man is very bad he will tell you nothing but lies and destroy everything you love. Those aren't your parents kid there... they..." Han stops looking down and Leia who scolded him.
"Han! Calm down. Your parents disappeared right... you couldn't hold onto them"
The boy's face darkens going on the defensive.
"But what if they were... I just want..."
Leia hugs the crying little boy. He needs to talk to Ben about this her son knows more about the Sith and the Dark side then anyone.
"Go talk to Ben, he will explain everything" Han says practically reading her mind.
—
Leia rushed up the hall at midnight to hr son and Rey's room. She had just spent the last two hours with little Bennet Kenobi. The boy liked Han and had spent the last hour in her husbands arm wiping away his tears. After the boy had fallen asleep Han said that Bennet reminded him of Ben when he was younger.
The general knocks on her son's door. She hears someone mumble something and a light flick on. Soon a very sleepy Ben Solo answers the door.
"Is something wrong mom?"
"Bennett has been temped by the dark side"
That is all the old general says.
