Darkest Light

by ever changes

When Ben Solo decided to join the Dark side, he never expected his journey into the darkness would be anyone's but his own. However, when faced with the oddity of a small, nameless child raised by Snoke, he soon realizes that complete devotion to the Dark side isn't all it's cut out to be. Can he overcome his draw to the Light or will his failings doom them both? (Kylo x OC)

2. Chapter 2

"I can feel you up there. Why are you following me?" Ben Solo barked into the tree branches above his head. A small, round face popped out of the foliage. He had no idea how she had hidden herself so completely, her white hair suddenly standing out against the green leaves. If it hadn't been for his gift with the Force, he would've never realized she was up there. She hadn't made a single sound, and he had been walking for quite a while…

She cocked her head to the side and slowly slid down; she was hanging from nothing but her feet when suddenly, she dropped, flipping over in the air as nimbly as TIE fighter in battle. She strode to his side and looked up at him with a vacant expression. She just waited.

The teen ager took the opportunity to scrutinize the small girl. She didn't quite make it to mid-bicep on him and her hair only fell to her ears. He realized now that it was wispy and weightless, getting tousled by any gust of air, even his breath. Her eyes were a deep blue, yet empty of any expression, and sign of intelligence beyond the dedicated hunter. And he realize now that that was exactly what she was, Snoke's personal huntress. Her pale skin suggested hours spent in shadows. Yet, for all the fighting she must have experienced, there wasn't a scar to be seen across her round yet drawn face. Her jumpsuit still hung from her limbs, revealing her obvious starvation. He had no idea what Snoke had done to this girl and he wasn't sure he wanted to find out.

"I asked why you're following me." No response. "Are you mute?"

"Je ne comprends pas."

"Right…," Ben sighed peering at her with obsidian eyes as he pulled a hand through his tangled black locks. "Well, I don't know whatever language you're speaking so let's forget about the whole thing. Name's Ben, though… Ah, never mind." He held out his hand. The girl cocked her head to the side, staring at him as vacantly as ever. Then, miraculously, she took his hand… with her left one and didn't let go. And so, trapped by this strange child, Ben Solo trekked forward through the jungle.
