Hey anyone still reading! I'm so sorry about the delay. Very hectic 2 years!! I thought I would go ahead and update again to show my thanks to anyone still reading. :)
Chapter 7
Rey POV
It's been three months since I've seen Poe, Finn, or any of my friends. I receive letters, a lot of peace talks, having to reorganize and free a galaxy of hatres and rule is not as easy as we had assumed. Darkness finds a way, and now there is a price on my head. The Jedi who killed Kylo Ren and ressurected Ben Solo. People who we thought were friends, turned into enemies while certain enemies became allies.
It was getting harder to sleep, even with Ben next to me. Something was coming. The Force never lies. A deep darkness has come back into play, but whoever is pulling the strings has yet to come and play. Force sensitive children are being brought to Jakku, a safe place for us to hide. I never thought I would be back home.
"Remind me again why we chose this dust bowl of a planet?" Ben nudging me with a smile. Trying to get me to laugh.
"It's safe that's why. Who in the world wants to be on Jakku?" I smile into myself as I remember the long days of scrounging anything I could get just to eat. Being alone.
"You'll never be alone again." Ben purrs into my ear and gives a soft peck on my cheek. We are so close in the Force now, there are no secrets.
Slowly we gather what little I had from my old home and head off to our glider. I didn't want to come back but Ben thought i would need the closure.
"You know, we can always build a bunker around here in one of these old ships you picked apart. Give us shelter and protect the young one's." He was right, I just didn't want to be back. Always hiding.
Poe POV
Three months of Rey betraying us for him. Now what did she have to show for it? A price on her head. Having to hide from the universe. I hate him. Taking my Rey. Chewie ended up leaving us to go to her. Peace in the galaxy? It will never happen. Not while he is alive. Leia may be happy to have her son back, but I see right through him. Kylo Ren will always be Kylo Ren.
I look out to Jakku, tracking down the monster to save the woman I love. Coming back here was a smart decision. A wasteland of a planet. Rey's home. Finn had said she had a home around here, it will be the first place to start looking. I will save you Rey, from him and yourself.
Rey POV
Someone's coming. I can feel them, but they are to far away to tell who it is. I silently hope it is Finn or Poe. Just to have a friend to help with this mess.
"You look divine." Ben peeks over at the shorter dress I have been fiddling with. Tonight we meet with Leia and the new council to discuss tactics on peace throughout the galaxies and to deal with the price on me.
"You are bias." I smile and wrap my arms around his neck. The scar burning into my heart.
"I've been crazy about you ever since I first saw you in the forest. Strong, beautiful, determined, I do believe you would have shot me if given the chance." I nuzzle his neck and land a soft kiss on his throat. A shiver escapes him and goes down me. I remember that day so vividly.
I have to fight. Why is BB-8 not running? How can I fight a war I'm not part of? Oh well, shoot now ask questions later. I take off shooting troopers while dodging for cover when I can. I need to find Han, Chewie, and Finn. We need to get off this planet and put as much distance as we can."STOP!" Who in the hell? I will not go down without a fight. Monster behind the mask. He is holding a lightsaber. This must be a Jedi, but aren't they extinct?I blast and blast, everyshot being deflected by him. Whoever trained him did a thorough job. I feel my heart sinking as he keeps advancing. Please stop. Please leave me alone. I just want to see my parents one more time. Before I know it, his hand is up and I can not move. Why can't I move?"The girl I've heard so much about." He's getting closer. I try to regain my strength, enough to pull the trigger, but he has whatever hold on me and won't give up. I'm trapped.He walks slowly behind me, still holding his saber. He wants something. He wouldn't keep me alive this long if he didn't."The droid?" What, BB-8? He's long gone. I won't give in to his torture. Before I know it his saber is in my face. I can feel the heat from the blade. Panic is starting to take over my thoughts."Where is it?" He starts to walk around me, his hold on me never loosening. "The map. You've seen it." His hand is so close. Will he kill me here? Take me back and torture me there?Before I can even breathe a trooper comes and before I know it, I'm lost in a world of black. Goodbye friends, please be safe.
I smile, at the time I would have killed him if it meant saving everyone around me. I couldn't imagine doing that now. Being pulled back to reality, I feel Ben's hands making their way down to my ass while nibbling on my ear. This man knows how to make me forget everything.
Kisses trail across my neck and up my jaw. Finally our lips meet, and the world fades away.
Kylo Ren POV
I think i have fucked Rey into a sleep coma. She's out and her dress destroyed. Shame. I really liked that one. I look back to Rey, could I have killed her in that forest? Could I have hurt her in anyway? She was so scared, now she's fearless. I still sense the pain, guilt, and fear she tries to hide. She wants to make the galaxies a better place but she holds it all on her shoulders.
I look out to the desert. The night sky bright as ever with all the stars and moons shining on us. The planet may be garbage, but the night sky is beautiful. Almost as beautiful as her. She makes me want to be better.
I can't sleep. I can't eat. She is consuming my thoughts. This insignificant woman is all I can think about. She is beautiful though. Maybe she could be my apprentice. We could rule the galaxies. The way she looked at me, so much hate but she also saw me. I can't believe I showed her my face. Why did I do that? She's bewitched me. Wonderful. Her powers are weak, but with proper training, she could be lethal. I have to get her back. She's mine.
I would give anything to take back how I was with her in the beginning. I made her afraid, but she fell in love with me. How i will never understand, but I will do whatever I need to to protect her.
A flash of light catches my attention as I turn the lights off and force pull the saber into my hand. Someone has found us and they are inside our hideout. I pull my shorts on and go investigate. No one will touch my Rey. My love.
Cliff hanger I know but i will update soon :)
