Bellamy's Pov

∽

"As daughter of Lord Ren and apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke, I hereby demand that you help the First Order or you will pay with not just your dignity but your life," I spin on my heal. "How was that?"

From my bed, Elwood shook his head. "Too demanding and a little morbid, she is your aunt after all."

I put my hands on my hips and groan at the boy with perfect brown hair and hazel eyes. With a few shuffles to the right, I land on my bed right beside him and stare at the ceiling. "I just don't know what to say to her."

He sat up, his hair messy from sleep and his voice rather groggy. "You've been at this for almost two hours, wasn't one of the many speeches you came up with good enough?"

"I fainted in front of the entire First Order! I have to come back stronger than ever," I glance up. "But you make it very difficult to be bad again."

"Oh don't stop on my account, I think it's sexy."

I roll my eyes and push myself off my bed, forcing myself to stand up again. I grab a shard of glass from the ground and make sure I look decent enough to speak in front of a ruthless bounty hunter and the high members of the First Order. My cheeks are dappled with many hues of brown, freckles, as chaotic as the fall leaves on Naboo. "I can do this."

"Of course you can, you're Isidore Ren." He chanted from the bed, still tiredly leaning against a pillow.

I stand a little taller when he says that and I straighten out my black blouse. I clear my throat and tuck a piece of my brown curls behind my ear and place my hands behind my back. "As daughter of Lord Ren and apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke, I hereby publicly ask for your help on a mission that could allow the First Order to restore it's original ferocity. If you so choose to accept, you will be paid an extraordinary amount and will become a face to remember within the First Order."

"Perfect," A knock at my door startled me and I jumped, igniting my lightsaber. "Whoa there princess, it's just a knock on the door."

I look down at the purple blade in my hand and almost laugh. Shaking my head, I go to answer the door after returning the lightsaber to my belt and allow my visitor to enter. My face drops and Elwood immediately stands up from my bed, fumbling around for his shoes. "Father?"

He walks in without an invitation as Elwood literally runs out of my room, sending me an apologetic smile before he disappears down the hallway. The door slides behind me and I face him, my arms crossed over my chest. The mask leaves his face and I see his dark eyes that look like mine and his ageless face, painted with only a few lines. "What do you want?"

"I came to speak to you."

"So speak," I snap, my mood instantly changing. "Your face disgusts me at the moment."

He smirks for a second, shaking his head as he places his mask on a table. "I wasn't expecting any less."

"You tried to kill Elwood, even after I-" Declared my love for him and then proceeded to faint.

"...After you declared your love for Lieutenant Elwood?" He questions. "Yes, I got that part."

My cheeks heat up and I immediately look down at my feet. "I'm pretty sure everyone did."

"That's the thing though Isidore," I can tell that the name still feels alien on his tongue, even after all this time. "I came here to tell you something important." He takes a step towards me and extends his arm to my face but I shove it so hard, he stumbles.

"Don't touch me."

"Figlia please..." He utters, seeming hurt.

My eyes widen and I am immediately hit with all the emotions that I thought I let out last night. "How do you know that? How do you know?"

"When your mother was young, your grandfather used to call her figlia more than her actual name. I assumed that she called you that."

"She did," I nod my head, imagining her face in my mind. "All the time actually."

He sighs, putting a hand through his hair. "You are my daughter, you are my everything. When you agreed to stay with me all those years ago, I promised Hux I would protect you with everything I had... What did I say?" He ponders for a second, stretching out his mind to see the past once more.

I close my eyes, taking in a deep breath and exhaling the force. "One day, she will have all the desire to be free but with so many skills still to learn. Of course she'll leave before she's ready, I know she will because she has too much of Elara in her, and those last lessons will be the hardest of all."

"How did you-"

"You forget father, that I have a prophecy about me. I have abilities that Darth Sidious only dreamt about," I don't say much more for awhile. "I don't use them usually, something deep inside of me tells me not to."

That's when my father wraps his arms around me and holds me close to him. I can feel his heart beating fast, probably because he hasn't hugged me like this since I was ten. Slowly, a few stray tears make their way down my face and I hug him back. "I don't understand?"

"This entire time, Snoke has taught you some lessons that I should of. I am Kylo Ren, I never admit my mistakes," He holds my head in his hands. "But he taught you how to become heartless and loveless but you do not have that ability in your system, no matter how hard you shut it out. For awhile, I thought he had made you stone-cold and robotic but I see it now, you are still able to love."

"Aren't you that way?"

"It is you who forgot that I had the biggest scandal throughout the entire galaxy by loving your mother," His eyes shine when he mentions her and I feel her through the force. "Love hurts is the biggest lie out there. Love heals, love makes people whole again and love fills them with the strength the force intended them to have."

"Aren't we Sith?"

"We aren't your regular Sith unfortunately," He reaches for his mask again and his voice is replaced with a different one. "Whatever you are feeling figlia, let it in." He turns around and walks out of the door and I am prepared to follow behind him, knowing my speech is in a few moments.

But one thing stops me for a few seconds and I am positive I know what it is.

I think my father told me to feel the Light Side.

"As daughter of Lord Ren and apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke, I hereby publicly ask for your help on a mission that could allow the First Order to restore it's original ferocity. If you so choose to accept, you will be paid an extraordinary amount and will become a face to remember within the First Order." I state proudly, my eyes scanning my audience of stormtroopers and First Order members.

From their knees, Kalila Jane and her companion mutter some words that I can't understand since it's in a different language. After spending a long night in their prison cells, I'm sure she's ready to agree. "Alright, you got yourself deal."

I nod my head and the stormtroopers standing guard unlock their restraint and Kalila stands up, her freckles resembling mine. "I'm glad we were able to negotiate something after all."

"I don't like being told what to do," She rests her arm on her companion's shoulder. "But it looks like we're family, guess I owe it to you."

"Sorry to interrupt the family reunion loves," Her companion coughs, his jaw locking. "But what exactly are we doing?"

I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out. I feel like I'm choking and Kalila gives me a weird look. From behind me, Elwood saves me from more embarrassment and explains. "You're hunting down the last three Jedi."

"You and your companion will be destroying the Resistance's secret weapon." I'm finally able to speak.

"Stop right there sunshine," Her companion interrupts. "I have a name."

"Do share."

"Sebastian Paladin," He introduces himself. "Pleasure to meet you."
