A/N: Sorry for the delay everyone, I've had a lot going on and I had huge writer's block for awhile. But here's chapter 9, enjoy!

Chapter 9

"I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true. And now, foolish child, he ignites it and kills, his true enemy!" Snoke bellowed as Ben ignited his blazing red saber, running Rey through, just like his father. Rey's face contorted in pain before her lifeless body collapsed, Snoke's laughter being the last thing she heard before she died…

Rey shot up gasping for air, covered in a cold sweat, shaking from fear.

"Rey, what's wrong?" Ben woke up, concern in his voice

"Nothing," Rey sighed as she wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Just a bad dream is all." She shook her head and looked to her left at Ben and gave him a small smile.

"What was the dream about?" Ben asked

"Jakku." Rey said quickly. Ben could feel something was wrong through their bond, she was hiding something.

"You're lying, I can feel it," Ben pressed as he tucked a hair behind her ear, "What was your dream about?" He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her to his chest. Rey sighed, knowing he wouldn't drop the subject until she told him the truth.

"We were in the throne room with Snoke, and- and you didn't kill him… you killed me instead." Rey looked at him, a tear silently rolling down her cheek. Ben nodded in understanding, he kissed the top of her head and held her close.

"You were never going to be killed in that room, the moment we touched hands in that hut I had planned to kill him. From that moment on, you were all that mattered to me." Rey looked up at him in shock.

"I was?" Ben chuckled lightly at her

"Yes Rey. Why is that so surprising?"

"I just- I've never had someone care for me like you do, it's not that I'm surprised, I'm just not used to it. It's a very unfamiliar area for me, all of this is," Rey explained as she held his hand, "But I know you love me, I haven't doubted that ever since you told me, and I love you too Ben, more than you will ever know." She kissed him then, reaffirming what she had just said.

Ben's hand cupped the back of her head lightly as he deepened the kiss, his heart swelling in his chest at her profession of love. He pulled her into his lap, kissing her more passionately, his need for her growing. The pair discarded their sleepwear quickly, Ben peppered her neck with wet kisses as she pumped his growing length in her hand, he groaned on her skin as her grip tightened around his cock.

"You're a fucking tease." He smirked as he positioned himself at her dripping entrance, slicking his cock up with her juices before entering her warmth.

"You're one to talk." She breathed out as his fingers circled her clit as she slowly rode him. He laughed lightly as he held her in his arms, loving the feel of her body against his.

"I love you Rey."

"I know." She replied as she gave him a longing kiss.

Back on Ach-To, Poe and Finn struggled to rebuild the Rebellion without Leia. The remaining survivors of the cause helped in any way then could, but due to their location, there were no accessible weapons to help them if the First Order showed up.

"Poe, we need to talk," Finn approached the pilot one day as he was going over old battle plans, "We need someone to leave and get volunteers and supplies. You know I'm right." Poe sighed as he looked up at the former stormtrooper.

"I know, there's nothing else we can do. We're sitting ducks," Poe shook his head in frustration, "We need Leia back dammit. I can't lead these guys, I have no idea what to do."

"You can lead us, and you will. We just need a little help first, that's all." Finn reassured his friend. Poe nodded, knowing he was right.

"I'll go look for volunteers and supplies, I'll take Luke's old X-Wing. Can you hold down the fort while I'm gone?" Poe asked as he gathered some things together for his journey.

"Of course, just make sure you come back in one piece okay?" Finn hugged the pilot goodbye.

"Yeah yeah, hey BB-8," Poe yelled for the small bot, happy beeps greeting the pair, "Look after Finn for me, got it?" Poe patted BB-8's head as the bot beeped back at him, agreeing to do what was asked. Finn and BB-8 followed Poe to the X-Wing, Finn hugged Poe one last time

"Be careful Poe and come back with some fighters." Finn remarked as Poe got into the ship.

"You know I will." Poe smirked, waving to his friends as the ship took off.

Poe returned three weeks later, his X-Wing coming into the planet's atmosphere at lightspeed. Landing roughly, Poe got out of the ship quickly, half a dozen ships following his actions.

"FINN. FINN WHERE ARE YOU?" Poe yelled, worry etched in his voice. Finn and Rose came out of one of the huts

"Poe, you're back." Finn remarked happily as he saw all the people Poe was able to recruit.

"Finn, we don't have time. They found us, the First Order is on their way here. Right now."
