Anakia's P.O.V.

Something in the air is different tonight. I can feel it. Luke can feel it.

I've been here for over two months now and something in the island's aura is different. It seems familiar but I can't tell how. It's been a month since I heard Ben's voice. 

I haven't heard nothing more from him. Which is making me stay here longer than expected, waiting to hear another message from him again. It's late at night but not past midnight, rains pouring down as if hell broke loose. 

Luke and I are running to take shelter. I was at the edge of the cliff meditating when dark clouds formed above. Luke had been in a cave at the highest point on the island. 

It hasn't rained all month, but a storm came out of nowhere after the sunset tonight. As I sprint to my hut, I see candle lights on in Finn's hut. Luke's jogging down steps toward the village. 

I assume Chewie's in the falcon, and Snip's in our hut. Reaching my hut, I glance to Rey's room across from mine. Stiffening with rain drenching my clothes, I recognize where the unique aura is coming from. 

Something is distinctive about her hut. The force inside it is almost twice as strong. Frowning, I turn away from hut and shuffle toward her house.

The pull to the force inside grows stronger with every step I take. I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I recognize what force I'm feeling inside the hut. Ben, Ben's force. 

Frowning in confusion, I wipe the dripping water on my face with my hand staring at Rey's door. Another step and I know without a doubt I sense Ben inside her hut. Not letting a second go by, I stride to her hut and kick the door down. 

In front of me, inside Rey's hut, I find Ben and Rey sitting in front of one another. Their hands are touching as they watch one another. He appears larger than I last saw him. 

His muscles have grown in the past two months. Ben's hair is longer too, and his scar has healed on his face. 

Stepping on top of the door in utter shock, I see both of them turn to face me in surprise. Meeting Ben's gaze, I mutter out in almost heartbreak.

"... Ben?"

"Ani."

The next moment he disappears, leaving Rey and I alone in her hut. She stares at me like a fish out of water. My eyes are on-the-spot Ben had just been sitting. 

I sense my mind going insane for reasoning to this. My heart feels as if it dropped into my stomach. My mouth is dry, yet I'm soaked to the bone in water. 

All I could feel is outrage and sicken by what I walked in on. I gulp the spit in the back of my throat before clenching my fists. Question after question is going through my mind. 

The one that keeps reappearing, though; why is Ben talking to Rey and not me? I've been waiting to hear him all month, only to just now find him talking to Rey instead of me. Glancing at Rey with an alarmed expression, my voice erupts as if she's deceived me.

"What the hell is this?"

"I don't know... We're connected in a way!" Rey stands up in panic, taking a step back before she drops the blanket around her and defends. "It's been happening for the past month but we don't know why-"

"What? A month!" 

I roar and storm toward her, taking out my saber. Anger and betrayal rushes into my chest as I activate my red blades. She trips over her cott but stands up frantically as I shout in fury. 

"You've been talking to Ben for a whole damn month!"

"Anakia, stop!" 

Rey blurts out while stumbles away from me against the walls of her room. She glancing around her room for her saber. When she spots it closer to me than her, she peers back up at my eyes and assures.
