"Of course I'm allowed to leave, why would you assume that I wasn't?" I asked innocently as I followed Chewbacca into the cockpit.

I payed no attention to his answer as I quickly started up the ship. I sighed as he gave no sign of stopping his interrogation.

"Indubitably I do know where I'm going. When have I ever not had a plan?" I smirked slightly as I answered Chewy's worried bellows. "Don't worry about it." I dismissed him as I typed in the last known coordinates of the Finalizer, recovered (possibly stolen) from one of the holocalls Luke had been on with Leia.

I will make Kylo Ren pay, and absolutely nothing will stand in my way.

POV: Kylo Ren

"Ben..." That name.. I hadn't heard that name since...

"What have you done Ben? This isn't how it was supposed to be..." The voice of my father whispered in my ear as I searched for the origin of the voice. There was nothing. Just the officers that were operating the Finalizer.

I spun around and headed out of the bridge without uttering a word to the officials that stared after me.

As soon as I had reached my quarters my sight went black.

All of a sudden a much younger Luke was standing above me with a disappointed look furrowed on his face, like it always was when I messed up my exercises.

Anger boiled up inside of me as I threw the stones across the clearing violently, my tiny hands clenched into fists at my side.

"At least you moved them." Luke said simply as he moved on to observing the next pupil, a young boy who looked around 8. He was a bit older than me so Luke smiled proudly when he succeeded in levitating all of the rocks with ease.

He didn't care about me.

Why was I here? Why would my parents send me away like this? Why didn't they want me?

I spun around and ran away from the training clearing and towards the only place I knew I would be welcome.

When I had reached the other tiny class of  apprentices (even younger than the group I was in) I hid behind of the medical droids that continuously roamed among the younglings.

I searched with narrowed eyes for the familiar brown buns. When I had found her I raced up behind her and grabbed her wrist before she could hit me with the training blade she was using. She still had a helmet over her eyes so she squealed in surprise as I pushed it off her head and spun her around.

Her hazel eyes met mine as she let out a sigh in relief, but the relief didn't last long as she wrenched her arm from my grasp and hit me with the hilt of the dulled blade.

"That was mean! You shouldn't sneak up on people." She whined as she pouted.

"Grow up Rey, I came to get you." I sighed as I rubbed my sore arm and glared down at her.

"Where we going?" Her eyes perked up in curiosity and a smile ignited.

"We're gonna go have fun." I grinned excitedly as I grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards the woods.

She smiled back, but looked apprehensive. "Won't we get in trouble with Luke?" She asked worriedly as she slipped her hand out of mine.

I shook my head. "Not if he can't find us." I smiled when she dropped her training blade and reached for my outstretched hand.

Before I could feel her hand grasp mine she started to fade away. Her skin became transparent as it blew away like dust and the atmosphere was replaced by an empty room.

I was sitting on a bottom bunk with my feet over the edge where they barely grazed the ground as I sat and stared longingly at the empty bottom bunk across from me.

"Why did you have to take her?" My voice came out unusually pitiful and broken as a few tears dripped down my cheeks.

Luke spoke softly from the threshold. "She was becoming too much of an attachment. You know you can't-"

"What? Have a friend? She was my reason to be happy! She was here when my parents weren't, and you took her away!" I screamed at him and turned away, curling up into the blanket as more tears streamed. I would find her. I would run away and we could have fun again.

"She won't remember you." Luke stated quietly as if reading my thoughts. "We wiped her mind. She wasn't going to fit in here. She will be safer on-"

"How did you do that?! I don't believe you!" I yelled pitifully without turning to look at him. "She belonged here. She belonged here, with me." I muttered mournfully.

"The force can do many things... All she remembers is her family. One that we created for her to remember." He explained serenely.

"So you gave her fake memories?!" I cried as I finally looked up at him.

"I did what was necessary." Was all he said before leaving me alone in my tears.

The room faded and fuzzy images came rapidly.

I saw Rey, no longer a child, smiling lightly at me as she came closer.

"Stop fighting it, the light, just let it in." She whispered as I felt her arms wrap around my torso securely.

Her warmth faded and was replaced by emptiness as I looked up to Snoke sitting in his throne looking down at something beside me.

"You've done well, you will make an excellent apprentice to the darkness." I looked beside me where I saw Rey with her short hair out of her usual buns to where it reached her shoulders. She was clad in black, in a nearly identical outfit to mine except feminine.

Her eyes were no longer bright and lively but dark and full of hate as she stared up at Snoke expectantly.

What have I done?

The hall faded and was replaced by a bitter cold as I crouched in the snow, hunched over a huddled shape that was strewn there.

I turned the lump over carefully only to stagger back in horror to see Rey's hazel eyes staring blankly back at me.

Still, her facial features were soft and delicate. Death had not corrupted just them yet.

I should've been glad to see the lightsaber gauge down her chest, but I felt nothing but pure rage and the urge for revenge.

I pulled her onto my lap desperately, trying to get her warm, but her body just lay in my arms, cold and stiff. I hugged her to me, breathing in her familiar scent that was already beginning to grow stale.

I lowered her and looked down at her as I gently brushed a stray piece of brown hair out of her face, closing her eyes so they were no longer staring at me.

Who could've done this?!

That's when I noticed my own lightsaber lying ignited in he snow.

No.

I couldn't have..

Pain pierced my heart as Rey's body started to slip from my grasp and the vision began to fade.

I was back in my quarters.

When I touched my face I found that it was damp with tears.

How could I be crying?

I shouldn't care... It doesn't matter to me... SHE doesn't matter.

My self convincing was interrupted by a tremor.

I sensed it.

I sensed... her.

I could feel her conniption as if she were standing right in front of me.

She had finally left her sanctuary that was the Jedi Temple, which had acted as a wall to block my vision of her.

Now she was traveling through space and no longer had any cover. I could track her like I had to Ilium.

I smirked under my mask. She couldn't stay away.

There was no need for me to chase her.

She would come to me.
