Rey looked at Kylo Ren was insane, which he probably is. Now, rey knew that she doesn't have that memories when she was younger, it was too uncleear she can only remember specs of them. Even when she was already twelve or fourteen and she was trying to keep herself alive on Jakku waiting for the people who were never coming back, her memories were cut off and erratic.
"You can't be serious" She scrutinized her eyes in a rude manner.
I mean, we couldn't have met before. She thought at the back of her mind but Kylo Ren had heard it loud and clear and it was just as if she was talking to him. Well, she wasn't exactly talking to him. It had only been her thoughts but those thoughts were so wide open that he felt it and heard it.
"We have. Look, come here" He beckoned for her to come to him and she did. Slowly strutting towards the Sith Lord he had placed his palm on her forehead softly. Rey closed her eyes feeling a surge of power from Kylo Ren. His hand felt slightly warm mixed in with coldness. She had thought it felt nice, she had never felt this comfortable on this ship.
Rey saw sudden flashes and it was as if she was back when she had touched Luke Skywalker's lightsaber.
Rey saw a small child with brown hair, fair skin and brown eyes bouncing as she walked towards a boy who seemed to be around twelve or thirteen. He picked the little girl up and swung her around. They both laughed. When the girl had laughed he looked into her eyes and it gave her the idea that she was the little girl and the boy who had pale skin, dark curly hair and soft brown eyes was apparently Kylo Ren, or as the name he was given, Ben Solo.
The two continued to play endlessly. Then she felt a shuffle and what she had seen now was Kylo Ren holding the mask he currently owned. He stared at it before little Rey came and jumped on his back. He seemed surprised but laughed a little and threw the mask on the ground. They played around again and next, Rey was a year older and so was he. She was making a bundle of flowers which Rey had appointed it to be a flower crown. She plopped beside Kylo Ren who had a deep thought on his face and brought the crown of flowers to his head. He looked at the girl, surprised again and removed the flower crown and placed it on her head.
"You look better with it" He chuckled. Rey continued to watch as the flashbacks turned static and it was as if she was transported to another world again and here she had seen Kylo Ren already wearing the mask. He had just slaughtered a group of bandits and blood was everywhere. Little Rey who seemed to be around eight already looked at him with fear.
"Ben! Ben, why?" She had tears in her eyes. Rey looked at herself who was completely shaking in fear. She leaned down and touched her shoulder trying to make her calm down. She had expected herself to be like a ghost but she had touched her and little Rey looked at her, her eyes reflected pure fear. Rey gave her little self a finger to her lips that was meant for her to calm down.
"I'm sorry, Rey" He said through his mask and took it off. Rey looked at Kylo Ren once again. He no longer held that pureness and love she had seen earlier. His eyes were already cold and lifeless, as if he had been possessed. Little Rey started to sob loudly. "I have to go, Rey. I know we'll see each other soon" He said and wiped the tears off her face. Rey opened her mouth to say something but she felt a familiar hand on her arm and it was Kylo Ren. He shook his head.
"We are not to meddle with the past"
Little Rey sobbed harder and clutched her little arms around Kylo Ren. "Please! Don't do this, Ben!" She wailed like the little child she was. Rey had already been feeling sad, she could feel all of herself's emotions that time and it was heartbreaking. They had been so close but not close enough for Rey to reach.
"Soon" He said as he dispersed with a crowd of stormtroopers. The look on his face was frightening when the stormtroopers were about to hurt little Rey. So they didn't for they feared the man who had great potential in him. Rey was left alone, crying until she had been found by a man with a hood. "Rey" He had said
Suddenly, Rey was back in reality. Leaning on Kylo Ren's hand. She felt herself tear up but wiped it off immediately. Was he the man she longed for? The person who she had waited for a decade, was him all along? It might have been someone else but was it really him?
Rey looked at Kylo Ren with the same eyes she had given him when she was crying back when she had been a child. Kylo Ren staggered slightly, he was weak against her. No, correct that, she was her one true weakness. He now learned why he magically grew a soft spot towards this girl and why they had this special connection he did not seem to understand. However, he understood them all now. And that was because she had been special to him ever since they had been young.
Rey held out a hand and caressed his face with a look of sympathy plastered on her face albeit she was supposed to sympathize herself for being so heartbroken over Ben who had already turned to Kylo Ren and she was there to witness it all. Once she had let go of his face, Kylo Ren's face was full of pure shock but to him, it had been so comfortable. He hadn't had this much comfort since he could remember. Last he recalled, he was thirteen and his mother, Leia Organa had been stroking his head, making him fall into deep slumber.
"I need to take all of this in. I'm going out for a bit, 'kay?" She smiled at him before heading outside.
This time, he did not stop her.
