Hello loves! I'm so glad you enjoy this! It's very interesting to write as I've never written anything like it before! Hopefully I'm doing an adequate job? Hope you enjoy!


Kylo's hand stilled in front of her, Rey watching him carefully. He looked as though he was thinking on something, making some sort of decision that caused his brow to twinge and his lip to curl downward into a small frown.

She was seconds away from opening her mouth when she saw the muscles in his hand flex suddenly, the last corporal thing her eyes were met with before she was sucked into her own mind.

She saw flashes, glimpses. They appeared before her like a dream but she could feel them in her soul.

Children. There were children everywhere. Each donned in robes, all so eager and full of excitement, of life. Bright smiles and laughter echoed around her that made her heart swell and her knees quiver. She saw an ocean. Her ocean. But it was so different. The only detail she'd gotten correct had been the water.

Beauty. Everywhere. A world of nothing but the color green and..a boy. A boy, young and bright, sitting lonesome by a stone. The boy..

He seemed so familiar to her somehow. Important.

Rey pushed her mind forward, pressing the moving images desperately for more. She felt them recede slightly, hesitant but tempted. In the end she didn't have to press very hard, a single last glimpse, as clear as the sky is blue causing her breath to catch.

The boy was-

All at once she felt the images rip from her mind, the warm embrace of reminisce leaving her. She felt her mind ringing, her eyes unable to find focus.

Overwhelmed, she fell, the cruel bite of snow never reaching her skin, instead the cool feel of leather clad gloves against her arms caused her to shiver, surprising her enough to look up.

Kylo looked down at her, weak in his arms for the second time. He lifted her with no trouble, the girl giving a soft sigh at the jolt of him adjusting her so that she lay more comfortably.

She stared up at him, their dark eyes locked in what Kylo would have referred to as a stare off if it didn't feel so terrifyingly intimate.

Rey focused on his face, her eyes straining as she let them travel from his eyes to his chin, Kylo's heart freezing as she lifted her hand.

"Ben.." she huffed, the dead name the last thing to fall from her lips before her head fell forward against his chest, her hand going limp.

Kylo swallowed at the name, ignoring the feeling that the sound of her voice saying it once again had elicited, shifting her to one arm in order to rest her limp one across her chest.

Without a word, he turned, making hius way toward his ship quickly. Keeping his mind away from the dangerous wonder of what'd she'd been planning to do with her hand by making a mental note to order the delivery of the traitor to the resistance unharmed.

She'll never surrender to the supreme leader if he is left to die.

He tells himself this, and he believes it. He has to.

He continues his journey, changing his thoughts to preparations that will need to be made in order for Rey to live on the ship with them for a time, ignoring the suggestion lurking in the back of his mind that he could simply lie to her about the traitor.

He ignored it as he walked through the snow and the trees and he ignored it when he reached his ship and gave his commands, and when he growled a sharp "no." to a trooper who'd dared to try to take the sleeping girl from his arms so that he could have his wounds tended to.

He ignored it, because the truth behind it was something he didn't want to face.

He didn't want to lie to her.


Short one I know, I'm sorry! But this seemed like a good place to cut it off! With any luck, I'll have the next part up soon!

Much love!
