Lure of the Darkside

My ideas for this story:

Theme: Strength can come from weakness

Takes place right after The Last Jedi. Introduce an original woman character who joins the First Order. She tries to seduce Kylo Ren and keep him on the dark side since his gravitation to the light is stronger than ever. There should be some Jealous!Rey and clueless Kylo Ren/Ben Solo because poor thing is being pulled by these two women. However, he really loves Rey and no other woman could come between them. We learn that the woman actually knew Ben when he was in the Jedi Academy because she was also training to become a Jedi but he doesnt recognize her. She was there to witness his downfall and the downfall of the academy and the repercussions she and her family faced because of it. She became dark and vowed to wipe the Skywalkers off the face of the earth starting with Ben Solo.The woman hates Rey because she allowed herself to fall in love with a monster. Rey tells her that turning dark won't bring her family back or won't change what happened. They would have wanted her to be light not dark.

Powers she can possibly have:

-Force Rage

-Force shock(not all the way lightning)

The actual unfinished story that emerged:

"Ren." Kylo heard his name being called by General Hux and tried to hide the annoyance from his face. It really was unfortunate that he decided to break his mask in a heat of passion. Now, he was constantly fighting to steal his emotions. And he had a lot of those.

"General-" Kylo turned around and lost his train of thought when he saw the woman standing next to the insufferable redhead. She was absolutely stunning. She had on a golden dress that accented her unblemished dark olive skin as well as the prominent dip of her waist and swell of her hips. Her hair fell around her shoulders in beautiful dark curls, framing her face. Though she didn't have freckles like another woman he knew she did have beauty marks. Similar to his but hers were more strategically placed, more delicate. He would soon learn she was anything but. Her eyes too. Her eyes were just as dark as his if not darker. A brown that was almost black, framed by long lashes. His eyes traveled down to her lips. They were very full, yet they fit her face more than his full lips fit his.

"Ren, this is Alana Cruz. She's here to help with your duties as Supreme Leader." The last two words came out like an insult.

Kylo could feel his mouth hanging open but he couldn't do anything to close it.

Alana chuckled as she took a step closer to him extending her hand out for him to shake. Even her laugh sounded melodic. Kylo shook himself out of his...he didn't know what and took her hand in his. Her hand was soft unlike the rough hands that Rey had, rough from years of hard work, but Alana's grip was firm and strong.

"Nice to meet you Alana." Kylo deepened his voice slightly lower than usual. He saw General Hux roll his eyes but decided to ignore him.

"The pleasure is mine." Alana smiled and a dimple emerged on her right cheek. "I've heard so much about you, Kylo." Kylo didn't think it possible but her eyes seemed to darken even more, her head tilted slightly to the side. "Is it alright if I call you that?"

He found he was just staring at her until he finally recovered and cleared his throat.

"You can call me Ren." Kylo states, trying to keep some semblance of dignity.

"Hmm." Was Alana's only reply as she continued to take him all in. Kylo could feel beads of sweat form on his brow until Hux broke the silence with his annoyingly high voice.

"Good. Well now that you're acquainted I would love to give you a tour of the ship." Hux extended his arm for Alana to take. "Shall we?"

Alana smiled sweetly at Hux and squeezed his arm but didn't take it.

"Actually General, I would think it best for Ren here to give me the tour since we will be working quite a lot together. Don't you think?" Ren swallowed thickly as Alana pierced him with her dark gaze. Hux's face hardened and said, "As you wish" before stalking away from the two, grumbling to himself.

What is it about Ren? This guy doesn't even know how to talk to a woman without sounding like an idiot! And he has big ears! Hux shook his head in disgust as he stomped down the hallway. Women. I will never understand them.

Meanwhile, Kylo was stuck in the middle of the hallway with a beautiful woman and didn't know what to do. Alana made the decision for him and grabbed his arm, without him offering it to her and led him into the opposite direction of Hux.

"So, Ren. I've heard a lot about you."

Kylo looked down at her and raised an eyebrow for she had already stated that before.

"Yes, I'm the Supreme Leader of the First Order. I would presume so." Kylo deadpanned.

"Right. Supreme Leader." Alana continued to lead them until Kylo noticed they were in front of his chambers. Before he could react he felt Alana's lips brush against his ear and whisper, "I heard you killed the last one."

Ben shuddered and tore himself away from Alana unable to mask the horror in his eyes. Kylo was prepared for everything except for what happened next. Alana started to laugh. Actual tears were running down her face from laughing so hard.

"Wow." She drawled out as she wiped at her eyes. "You should have seen your face! You were absolutely horrified!" Alana saw that Ren was very much not amused and sobered a bit.

"Okay, sorry. I was just teasing. General Hux told what happened with Snoke, I know it wasn't you who killed him."

Kylo loosened the tension in his body only slightly. It really was me who killed him. That's why I was so horrified.

Something flashed in Alana's eyes as the thought passed in his mind and shook himself from the weird feeling growing inside him.

Alana leaned against the doors of his chambers and smirked up at him.

"Well? Aren't you going to show me inside?"

Kylo just barely kept himself from spluttering. "I thought you wanted a tour of the ship not a tour of my bedroom."

Alana shrugged and tucked a stray curl behind her ear. Kylo tracked the movement fervently with his eyes making Alana grin in delight.

"I figured we could do both." She slid across the door and moved closer to Kylo until they were merely inches apart. Due to her nearness he could see she had a tiny little beauty mark above her lip on the left side and he found himself being drawn towards it.

"Who is that?" The voice pierced his brain making him almost ram his forehead into Alana's face.

"Woah!" Alana jerked back. "Are you okay? What just happened?"

Kylo ignored her as he saw Rey standing right in front of them, her hands stuffed in the slits of her crossed arms. Kylo felt a pain in his chest at the sight of her. He took in her dusty outfit and disheveled hair framing her soot smeared face as if she had been in the middle of fixing something and he couldn't fight the warm feeling inside of him when he saw her. He was glad that their connection had not been broken after that day she slammed the door in his face. Kylo could see Rey's own eyes soften at the sight of him, but with something else hidden behind. Almost like a regret.

"No one." Ben replied to Rey's question. He only saw her raise a suspicious eyebrow before Alana was in his face.

"Who are you talking to?" Unconsciously he moved Alana out the way but Rey was already gone. Kylo swallowed his disappointment and forced himself to look at Alana.

"You can leave now." He said as he opened the doors to his living quarters and shut the door on Alana.

Kylo paced the floor of his room. Is there a way that he could bridge the connection himself? He wanted to see her again. The desire to hear her voice seemed to take over his body. He couldn't deny that he missed her and the pull to the light was stronger than ever. How did this force bond thing even work? It's obvious that Snoke had nothing to do with it since he was still able to hear and see her even though Snoke was dead. He closed his eyes and continued to walk back and forth manically as he tried to picture her in his mind's eye. Chestnut hair, falling down out of her bun. Freckles spread across her nose and cheeks and sprinkled across her skin. He imagined them spreading down to her shoulders and back and even further-

"Ben."

His name on her lips echoed in the room. He turned around and was met with the exact picture he had imagined in his mind.

"Rey." Ben sighed. "Rey come to me." I need you. The words floated in his mind yet refused to be spoken out loud.

"You've already found someone else." Rey whispered.

Ben looked at her in confusion. There's never been anyone but her. Ever. Then he remembered what had just happened outside his bedroom doors.

"Alana."

Rey just stared down at her shoes and nodded.

"She's beautiful Ben. And she's on your side. I can't give you what you want but she can."

Ben was dumbfounded at her words. What he wanted? Ben wasn't even sure what he wanted. What did he want?

Her.

Rey.

"I want you."

Rey shook her head furiously. "No. No you don't. If you did you would have come with me after we fought the praetorian guards. No, you don't want me, you wanted what you thought I could give you. But I can't. And I won't." Ben could feel the force connection diminishing between them.

"Rey wait-" He thought he saw something glisten in her eyes before she was completely gone from his sight. Kylo cursed loudly and just stopped himself from punching a hole in the wall.

Kylo might have been attracted to Alana's beauty, but with Rey...he was attracted to her soul. To the sparkle of defiance and fight in her hazel eyes. He loved to silently count the freckles spread across her face when she appeared to him.

He wanted someone to rule by his side but he wanted it to be her. Ben didn't want to rule unless it was with Rey. She was what made him good. And if she didn't want to rule then he wouldn't either. It wasn't worth it without her.

At that realization he heard a voice call out his name.

"Ben."

Ben felt himself tense up. It sounded like an abomination coming out of her mouth. When Rey said his true name it sounded like salvation, like hope. He hated how it sounded coming from Alana's mouth.

"Don't call me that." Kylo snarled.

Alana cackled. Her melodic laugh replaced with a manic howl.

"Oh please. I knew you when you really were Ben Solo." Alana almost spat the words. "That girl doesnt know you. She knows a fantasy, an illusion. A dead little boy."

(Fight scene/ending)

Alana held them both with the overwhelming flow of strength like she had never felt before, making them choke on the power of the force. Her grasp on the force connection was so strong it almost didn't feel like her own. An infiltration of frantic anger, crippling sorrow and even disgust at what she herself has become seemed to consume her. Rey and Ben managed to share a look, both on the verge of suffocation. Words unspoken passed through them. Words of a love never truly uttered yet expressed in every glance and touch. Words of regret and forgiveness and finally... peace and acceptance. Alana could feel everything. She could feel it all intertwining between them and the weight of their transparent love and vulnerability broke her down, making her collapse on the floor like a pile of clothes. Simultaneously Rey and Ben gasped, swallowing in the air that was being deprived of them. They ran to each other, tightly holding on to each other in panic and relief. The weight of their near death crashing down on them. Rey parted to look up at him.

"You're okay." She said as she smoothed his hair back to see more of his face.

Ben could could only let out an exasperated laugh as he cupped her face with his large hands, so very grateful that she was here in his arms and that a pink blush spread across her cheeks at his touch, reassuring him of her solidity.

Then they remembered why they were even in this situation. They both turned to look at Alana, ready for anything. But Alana was still slumped over on herself, sobs racking her entire body almost violently. Rey watched Alana for a moment. There was something different about her energy, something that was familiar to her. Then Rey realized what it was. It's what she felt burning inside of Ben even as he still was considered Kylo Ren. Light. Hope. Rey barely took a step towards her when she felt Ben grab her arm. She looked up at him and he shook his head, worry and suspicion dripping from his eyes.

"Its okay." Rey said and continued to walk over to Alana. Rey knelt before her and touched her knee hesitantly.

"Alana?"

The room was silent for a heartbeat before Alana looked up at Rey. Her face was streaked with tears, her breaths coming out in shaky waves. Alana watched Rey, her eyes shining but also bright. Without warning Alana wrapped her arms around Rey, hugging her fiercely while still crying, though a bit softer now. Rey was shocked at the gesture but a warmth for this woman enveloped her and she hugged her back. Rey didn't know how long they embraced before she felt someone hover over them. Rey looked up and saw Ben watching them curiously. He smiled at Rey before kneeling as well and wrapping his long arms around both of them, enveloping them in his warmth. She could hear faint whispers of I'm sorry coming from both Ben and Alana. The three of them stayed that way, bonding in a way that none of them would've thought possible. Supreme leader, Scavenger and Survivor.

Alana broke away and looked at Rey with such earnest that she hadn't expected the words that came out the beautys mouth.

"Sorry, I tried to seduce your boyfriend." Rey was shocked into silence until she looked up at Ben whose entire face and ears were red with embarrassment. This made Rey burst out in laughter. Alana couldn't help but crack a smile at that.

Rey could feel it. Alana wasn't dark anymore. She was just broken. She could see it in the sadness of her eyes and the wobble in her smile. They would all need to be put back together one way or another. Yet, this time, they would have each other to help retrieve the pieces once thought lost forever.

Alana's P.O.V.

Alana always had a quiet sort of anger simmering just beneath the surface of her skin. It was an anger she tried to suppress. It was why she wanted to to go the Jedi Academy. She wanted to be able to use her powers for something positive, something good, something that would change the world. She kept her anger under check but when provoked she could be deadly. Maybe that was why she was so drawn to Ben Solo when she first arrived at the Academy. She sensed the same quiet anger in him as well. She felt like she wasn't alone in her struggle to be good and there was someone else who knew what she felt. However, she didn't gather all this by actually talking to him or anything. In actuality, she was too shy to approach him, but she was quite observant and Ben was the victim of most of her observations. She grew to admire him. Really admire him. He was quiet, keeping mostly to himself though students still flocked to him much to his discomfort. Alana would get the closest to him during their training where they would partner up and battle with mock weapons and sometimes training their use of the Force.

She remembers one day watching him across the training room as he spared with another student. The muscles in his arms flexed as he moved like water, fluid and strong, tiring out his partner. As if he could sense her eyes on him Ben's gaze flickered over to her. Alana froze in her spot unable to look away, paralyzed by the gaze of his dark eyes. Ben smiled slightly at her before finishing off his partner. Alana let out a breath as their gazes disconnected. Ben Solo just smiled at her! She couldn't stop replaying the handsome way his eyes crinkled when he smiled. Little did she know that that would be one of the last kind moments she would share with him. The next time she would see him he would be covered in debris, dusting his dark hair and clothes, a wild look polluting his handsome features into something grotesque. Monstrous. It completely terrified Alana.She turned around before he would notice her and ran. She ran and left herself behind.

Alana tried to keep that dark side of herself hidden for years but she had finally cracked. The darkness seemed to seep into her skin, into her bones until her veins were electrified with it. First it was all her friends at the Jedi Academy and now it was her family. The Skywalkers were a disease of a family and she would do whatever it takes to wipe them from the face of this earth. Starting with Ben Solo. Alana Cruz once loved him from afar but would soon hate him from up close.

The Outline I had for this Story:

Meet Alana

Alternate scenes between Alana trying to seduce/kill Kylo Ren and Rey catching them during a force bond moment (Maybe see some peaks of light in Alana but not a lot because she is trying to kill Ben)

Ben is turning worse b/c of Alana, Rey sees it and Ben snaps out of it after seeing Rey's fear of him(she was never scared of him like this before. Anger maybe but never truly terrified of the person he was. Kylo didn't like who he was becoming. Who Alana was making him become.) Before the bond disrupts, Ben pleads for Rey to help him. Rey once again ships herself to where Ben is to save him from himself as well as Alana. Help me. The words passed through the inside of Rey's mind. A plea that sounded like something else he asked her once. Join me. Except this time, Rey wasn't going to say no.

All comes together with the three in battle. It is discovered that Ben knows Alana from Jedi Academy. We then go into Alana's memories of that time.

EPIC FIGHT SCENE!

Alana's redemption, Ben's redemption. They all escape from the first order or destroy the first order, going back to the resistance. Reunion scenes?!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
