My Only Sun (ON HOLD)

Ren

"She has her mother's condition." The Supreme Leader sighs as he stares at his daughter in my arms. "Condition?" I ask and he nods. "When you came here you were thirteen. My daughter had only been on the ship since she was ten, before that she was being treated all over the galaxy for her condition. One that affects almost everything." He explains and I nod.

"It is because you will be the next Vader that I know you can take care of my daughter." He commands and I nod, holding the girl in my arms as I kneel to the Supreme Leader. "Do not fail me again."

Once I set the princess in her bed she stirred in her sleep. What was she doing talking back to the Supreme leader? I understand that he's her father but he can be just as cruel if not more to his own blood.

I tend to worry for the doe eyed girl. It makes me uneasy when I think of her. Being the Supreme Leaders daughter, a future Sith.

Snoke informed me I'd be training her to use the force while we're on planet Hoth. Although she seems well versed already, she blocks my power and refuses to allow me to read a single one of her thoughts.

She'd be the next ruler and Snoke wanted her well prepared.

The princess slowly awoke, alarming me to turn and check on her. Mask in check she slowly opens her eyes. Her heart jumps at the sight of me in her bed chambers.

What is he doing here?! He startled me!

Before she brings up her walls, I speak with her through the force.

I didn't mean to startle you princess, my apologizes.

She raises her brows before closing me off from her thoughts. It was rough, like a metal door was thrown shut. "I don't know how you wear that mask all the time Ren, it's startling." She giggles. I sigh in relief; she can still smile. Princess Snow was the oddest person allied with The First Order. She took everything to heart and yet was kind to anyone and everyone.

This is why Snoke wanted her to be kept in check and retaught the ways of the Sith. She was too kind especially for a Sith. Constantly allowing rogue troopers to escape. She had someone from the rebellion smuggled in her cabin for 6 months before helping them escape.

The princess needs to be brought to our side, the dark side. She has too much good especially for being the daughter of Snoke, who would even want to reproduce with him.

Giggles arise and I look back to the princess.

Was she reading my thoughts?

Princess Snow nods, "It's quite easy with that helmet of yours on." I try shielding my thoughts off and she laughs. "I'll stop okay." She smiles before sighing.

"They tell me my mother was a beautiful woman with a kind spirit, kind enough to turn a blind eye to a deadly king." She answers as I instantly feel a wave of regret wash over me, she stands up and walks over to her closet.

"No apologies needed my fri- commander. After all, I didn't know her." She says softly. I open my mouth to speak yet nothing comes out, I can't think of any way to console her. She worries me, I can't be feeling like this. She was the first and only person to show me kindness when I first arrived here.

I will admit we did get close the two of us. We used to be friends the two of us. I'd always find Chief Griffith and her boxing. Griffith always had his guard up around me but knew how to relax. Snow was always so calm. She never cared to keep her walls up and for a while I could have fallen for her, but now everything is different.

"Well then, when do we depart for Hoth?" She asks while folding clothes into some luggage. I didn't even realize she started packing.

"Forty-eight hours. No rush to pack." I answer and she nods, "I apologize for you having to be dragged into this. I know you rather be at my father's right-hand side. Finding whatever it is you desire to find." I stay quiet before answering. "There is nothing more I rather do than protect you, Princess. I am the Commander, one day I'll be your right-hand man. You are my Princess until the day you die."

Princess Snow stayed quiet as she continued to pack her bags. "I wish you wouldn't think that way sometimes." She says rushing me out the door.

Was it something I said?

I shake it off and walk back to my quarters.

Once upon a time not long ago Kylo Ren and Princess Snow were friends. Twas Snow, Alfie, and I. The three of us were menaces on the battlefield. Back when Princess Snow was a trooper herself. It was until that battle a few years after we all had first met.

None of us could've predicted what happened but it would be the end of our friendship and the last of Alfie. I wasn't sure she'd remembered any of it, but I was sure she remembered Alfie.

"You're going to be okay Snow." I say as I pressed a wet cloth to her forehead. She rubbed her temples, pushing my hand back. "What happened? Alfie he- ugh my head." She groaned as tears flew down from her eyes to her cheeks.

She looked at me with a confused expression. "Will I ever be, okay? Alfie is gone Ren! Because of me!" She sobs. "My head hurts so much. Memories or thoughts I've never had are surfacing and it's scary." I set the towel down and attempted to hold her in my arms, but she shoved me away. Shaking her head.

"No! You'll only get hurt!" She shouts as she continued to sob. "We can't see each other anymore Ren I'm sorry." She stands from her bed and walks me to the door. "I'm so sorry Ren."

Ren, the way she used to call me by my name. I wished she'd only switched the letters sometimes.

Ren, the sweet smile on her face appears in my memoires.

"Commander Ren, are you alright?" A voice pulls me out of my trance. I look up, it was Griffith. "Yes, just lost in thought." I say quickly shaking the memories out. "Was there something I could help you with?" I ask as he nods, "General Hux needs you to come see him. Something about an emergency mission."
