Chapter 13

Aviana

Flashback

2 months prior to the destruction of the New Jedi Order

Planet Yavin 4

The New Jedi Temple

"Avi-"

"Go away."

"Come on Avi, I didn't mean to..."

"No!" I shouted as I faced my cousin. "What you did was so inexcusable. You could've seriously hurt that kid! Be glad that my father didn't find out about it there though I wouldn't be surprised if he knows now."

"You don't understand. I was told to do it. It's not like your parents will listen. They argue all the time now and you know that," Ben said.

That was true. For some reason lately, my parents have been arguing. Mostly it was about Ben. But even before, they had disagreements but it never led to huge fights. As much as I wanted to confide my cousin; who by the way has been more distant than ever, I felt that I lost him.

Ever since he went away from the temple he's been different. I thought it was some phase ever since he became an apprentice. However I knew almost right away it was no phase. Ben started to not have respect for no one practically, even my parents. He didn't disrespect me up until today when he almost got a kid seriously hurt in front of me.

That's when I had enough.

"Whatever. Stay the hell away from me," I said, turning to walk away.

"Don't you turn away from me," he said.

"Or what?" I snapped.

I felt a sting on my cheek as my face went sideways. I looked up at him in shock as I immediately shoved him. Ben took another step closer when a voice rang out of nowhere.

"Lay your hand on her again and I'll make sure you won't see daylight."

We both turned and saw that Poe was standing there with a dark look on his face. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen Poe look this angry ever. He walked over towards me and examined me wordlessly before he turned to face my cousin.

"Stay out of it Dameron, this is none of your concern," Ben said, giving him daggers.

"Oh really?" Poe asked as he stood in front of me. "Ava, you alright?"

I nodded as I couldn't find the words. I was praying that my parents wouldn't find out though eventually it'll come back to them.

Please don't make things worse. The both of you as I silently thought to myself.

"Come on," Poe said, ushering my away from my cousin. We walked far enough from everyone as he lead me to an empty training room.

"It doesn't look like he'll leave a mark. Though I was glad I came at the right time before anything could've been worse. How could he treat you like that?" Poe asked.

"Poe...you wouldn't get it. I mean, it's bad enough that Ben is acting psycho but my parents to know? They fight enough as it is and to add that to their list of worries is bad enough..."

"Here," he said as he held me tight. "Take a breath okay? I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

"I don't get it. Why is he acting this way? He was never this violent ever," I mumbled.

"I don't know. I wish I knew why but I know damn well enough that I won't let anything happen to you. I promise," he said.

Oh how I wish he wouldn't make that promise. But I couldn't bring any words to say it.

"Ava?"

I looked up and stared into those dark eyes as we were close. I couldn't help but bit my lip as we were closer now.

"Come on. I'll take you back to my house for awhile. I know Dad's been dying to see you since it's been a long time," Poe suggested.

"Okay," I said softly.

Poe gave me one of his smiles as he slipped his hand into mine and we left the Temple. There was this fear deep inside that what happened with Ben was not just the beginning.

This was just the calm before the storm.

-LINE BREAK-

Starkiller Base

Aviana

I struggled to break free as I was held up in restraints. When I first woke, I almost had a panic attack. I couldn't believe that not only I was here but the fact that Kylo Ren even kidnapped me was very unexpected.

I haven't seen Kylo Ren since that fateful night when everything changed. My world stopped when the New Jedi Order was destroyed by his acts, his fellow students gone my father gone and the years after to pick up the pieces that was broken.

If I didn't have my mother, my aunt and Poe, I would've lost it.

The doors slid open; snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up and in front of me was Kylo Ren himself. I composed myself as he came inside when the doors slid shut.

He'd gotten taller for sure when I last saw him. I couldn't see what his face was like now since he's wearing his mask.

Flashes from that night came to mind but I tried to push them out of the way.

"Well, well. If it isn't the daughter of the famous Luke Skywalker," Kylo said.

"Some things never change I suppose," I said, staring at him hard.

I was not going to run away from him now.

"I talked to your friend. It amazes me how someone like her can resist any torture from me when it comes to finding the map," he said, stepping closer to me. "But you however, have also seen the map."

"Is there a point to all of it? Why even want the map?" I asked.

"It's simple. To find your father of course," Kylo said.

"You'll never find him. I won't tell you," I said. "End this please. There's no good in finding him."

Kylo let out a dark chuckle as I felt my throat getting tight. I struggled to get air as he force choked me. A second later, he let go and I lurched forward to catch my breath. I pulled against the restraints that were tied around my wrists trying to escape.

It was beyond useless at this point.

"You were always had a smart mouth," he said.

"At least you had that memory," I said. "What happened to you?"

"Tell me what you saw in that map and I'll let you go," Kylo said, ignoring my question. "It's a bargain that you'll never forget."

I studied Kylo...I mean Ben. I closed my eyes as I contemplated everything. I don't want him to know where my father is. As much as I hated him for leaving, I didn't want him to get hurt or killed if the First Order ever find him. I just couldn't.

"No," I said.

"What?" he sneered at me.

"No. I won't let you get to him. I won't tell you the map because you don't deserve it. Not after what you've done years ago. After everything my parents, your parents and I did, you think that I won't forget what happened? I know you Ben or at least; I thought I did," I said, not caring that I said his real name. "You may have turned to the dark side but there is no way in hell you'll know where my father is. You won't ever be that powerful I know that all too damn well."

"That's all you have to say?" he asked.

"I won't say no more," I replied, keeping my head up.

"Fine," he simply said.

I waited for him to continue to either torture me or kill me. Either way, I was prepared to face whatever was coming my way. I saw him lifting his hand and before he did anything, we were interrupted.

"Sir, we have a situation," a stormtrooper coming in the room.

I saw Kylo tense up immediately. He was quiet before another word was said. Now I wonder what happened now.

"I'll be right there," he said. "I'm not through with you Skywalker. Remember that."

Then he spun and quickly left the room, giving orders for the guards to stay outside of my room as the doors slammed shut. I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding. I leaned back as I felt tears streaming down my face.

I couldn't believe this was happening.

I looked up as I heard a noise coming from outisde. I tilted my head to the side as I grew curious. Who I saw walk in the room next defintely surprised me.

"Rey?" I asked in shock as she came near me. "What the hell?"

I saw her then lift her hand and my binds became undone after a few tries. I stared at them before I looked at her in shock still.

"You're force sensitive?" I asked.

"I-I don't know but I know how to do it," she replied. "We need to get out of here quick."

I stepped away from the torture chair and ran behind Rey as we both try to find away to escape.

A/n So I got this up on time for once! Okay maybe I missed it by a day but who's checking really?

The Last Jedi trailer...OH MY GAWD! I got no words but ahhhh so good! Can December come like now?!

Anyways, if you want to leave your thoughts below go right ahead and thank you all so much for reviewing! I'm slowly getting back into things and I hope to see you all next week!

Until next time,
Vicky
