Chapter 9

Aviana

Flashback

Aviana-11 years old

Ben-14 going on 15 years old

"Avi?"

I looked up from my book I was reading as I saw Ben standing in the doorway of my room.

"Ben, it's late. Can't sleep?" I asked, putting my book down.

"Kind of...not really? I don't know. Can I talk to you?" he asked coming in and closing my door.

"Sure," I replied a bit hesitant.

Ben had been coming here for the first few weekends up until a week ago. He was currently staying with us since my father supposedly thinks that Ben is having a hard time being on the light side. Though I wasn't force senstivite like him, I knew he was having a bit of a hard time with the force and so on.

"Did you know that Darth Vader was our grandfather?" he said.

I raised my eyebrows at him. I knew about Vader and our heritage. I think it was only a few years ago that I found out. I wasn't sure when Ben found out but from the looks of it, it could've been recent. All I knew was my parents didn't like talking about it; especially Aunt Leia. What confused me a little was that Ben was talking to me about it. But I brushed off the tension as if it didn't affect me at all.

"I kind of knew," I replied, not trying to rouse Ben up or anything like that. "Dad doesn't talk about him that much."

"Neither does my mom and my dad gets mad when he's brought up. I don't know why," he said.

"I'll give you a reason, he was bad," I said.

"Don't say that. You know he tried to bring balance years ago," he said.

"Yeah and look what happened. I don't know why you want to know about him and despite what he did and yes he came back to the light, but he did terrible things," I argued.

"I don't want to hear anymore bad things about him do you understand?" Ben asked angrily.

"And what are you going to do about it?" I snapped.

"Aviana? Ben?"

We both turned our attention to my father as he looked as us in concern. Were we that loud?

"Everything alright?" he asked.

"Yes Uncle Luke we were just having a disagreement that's all," Ben replied smoothly.

Liar.

"I think that's enough for tonight. You need some rest Ben in order to be up for tomorrow," Dad said.

Without another word to me, Ben left my room. Only Dad stayed behind until he walked into my room and sat down on my bed without a word.

"Aviana did Ben say anything to you to offend you?" he asked.

"No Dad, we just had a disagreement," I replied.

"About your grandfather?"

"I don't know. I guess he found out or something. Maybe you guys didn't tell us because of what happened. I think I made him mad," I said.

"I'll talk to Ben tomorrow. You didn't do anything wrong," Dad told me.

I just looked at him as he tucked me in.

"Your mother will be in soon, just try to get some sleep okay sweetheart?"

I only nodded as he kissed my forehead. After he left, I didn't get any sleep that night after that moment.

End of flashabck

I was brought back to the present as Maz and Bee came down the steps quietly. Before I even asked, Maz comforted me and gave me an assuring look. I saw her and Bee go and stand at the bottom of the stairs. I stood back, thinking this is between them and Rey whatever it was going on.

I saw Rey on the ground and she looked scared out of her mind.

"What was that?" she asked in a scared tone to Maz. Luckily she didn't spot me yet. "I shouldn't have gone in there."

"That lightsaber was Luke's And it was his father's before him and now it calls to you!" Maz said.

Wait, what?

But how?

I peered out of the corner to get a better look. The urge to be there for Rey was strong enough.

"I have to get back to Jakku," she said, on the brink of crying.

"Dear child, I know everything. I see your eyes child and you know already know the truth. Whoever you're waiting for, they're not going back there," Maz said.

I closed my eyes as I felt a few tears running down my face. How can anyone leave someone behind and never return? I feel so bad for what Rey went through.

"The belonging you seek isn't behind but ahead. I'm no Jedi but I know the Force. It moves through you and surrounds you. Close your eyes child. Feel it. The light- it has always been there. It will guide you."

So Rey was a force sensitive like Mom. But how can she be if she never mentioned any family to us this far? I slowly walked a few steps down as I was getting intrigued by this.

"Rey, the saber. You must take it," Maz said encouragingly.

"I-I...I need to get out of here," Rey said, standing up quickly.

Rey then ran past me without a second glance over me. I looked over at Maz and she had an expressonless look on her face.

"Maz what happened?" I asked.

"You know child. She has a calling. That saber it belongs to her now," she replied.

"Poor Rey," I said.

I looked down at Bee who let out a few sad beeps at me. I sighed as I looked over at them again. I remember my father telling me he lost his saber in a duel with Vader years ago. How can it be possible that it was here this entire time?

"But that saber, how did you find it?" I asked.

"That's for another time dear," she replied.

"You don't suppose she's going to try and get away this time?" I asked.

"Only one way to find out child," Maz replied.

Without a second thought, I ran up the stairs and out of the Cantina with Bee-Bee follwing my path.

I just wanted to see if my friend is okay and it's not too late that she left.

-LINE BREAK-

"REY! REY!" I called out as I ran in the woods.

Bee-Bee was rolling behind me tryin to catch up to me. I looked around as I continued to find her. It was only a few more steps that I spotted her near a bunch of boulders not too far off.

"Rey," I said, approaching her slowly. I don't know if she was still going to run away again.

"I'm so sorry," she said.

"You didn't do anything wrong," I said, slowly coming closer.

"Your father's lightsaber. I didn't mean to touch it. It just brought me somewhere I swear," she said.

"I'm not mad about that. I'm worried about you. I know that this is a lot to take in. Believe me I know all of this too well. But Rey we're at war and we need so much help we can get and with your shooting skills, it'll help us out," I said.

"But why?" she asked.

I stepped closer so we faced one another.

"Because if my father was around, he would've gotten you into the Resistance somehow," I replied.

"You miss him, do you?"

I nodded. "I do," I replied. "I don't-"

The sound of a ship flew over by us quickly. Rey and I looked up only to see an army of TIE fighters swarming over us.

The First Order found us.

Oh no.

A/n When you write this chapter literally in two days.

Sorry if this is late. So much going on as I'm getting ready for my trip and I swear preparing for it never ends.

Speaking of, all my stories from July 29th-August 12th will be on a two week hiatus until I get back. I do want to update this a few more times before I go off the grid. I'll try my best to update Past as well but I'm struggling a bit with the next chapter so that'll be late.

Anyways, more craziness is about to happen. Next chapter an old reunion is long overdue for some of our heroes and a sworn enemy comes face to face with someone.

Thank you so much for your patience and support! I can't get over it and I'll forever appreciate your support.

Until next week,
Vicky
