Ghosts of the Dyad - A Reylo story

Home

"Why the change of heart?" Asked Kylo.
Rey had spent the night sleeping in his bed next to him after their shower.

"Hmmm?" She said drowsily.

"You were always so intent on turning me, why did you decide to turn instead?"

Rey sighed.

"I feel such pain in you, Rey. Tell me what's happened." He said, concern filling his eyes.

Rey knew she would have to have had this conversation with him at some point. She sat up, trying to wake herself up.

"It's your mother." She said bluntly.

Kylo looked confused. "My...what?"

"She kept things from me, she manipulated me and there's things, things I didn't even know about myself that were kept from me. And I'm so angry, I'm so angry and alone all the time. I'm scared one day I'll lose control." She said.

"Like what?" He asked "come on you can talk to me." He said softly.

"I'm a Palpatine and Leia knew. She also said that she planned for me to entice you to the light by um..." she trailed off.

"By what?" He asked.

"Making you...um fall in love with me." She winced "which I know is completely out of the question and just so you know that's not what I'm doing here now...but it's just the way she worked her way in by being there for me and she just did it so I'd bring you back." She said awkwardly.

"Yeah no I know..." Kylo said awkwardly. "I'm glad you came here and I'm...we're happy to have you."

Rey smiled.

"I guess we're sort of the same, you and me. Both grandfathers of great power, maybe this was how it was meant to be...it's in our blood...right?" She said.

Kylo nodded.

"Thanks, Kylo." She smiled.

"Oh..." he said.

"What?"

"I guess I always sort of liked it when you called me Ben.." he trailed off, avoiding eye contact.

He liked this new Rey. He longed for her. Yesterday, she didn't hold back. She radiated this pure, passionate energy he'd never felt from anybody, passion that was channeled through anger and hate and it made him weak, it drove him crazy. He'd never imagined in a million years that this would happen, he never thought she'd actually join him let alone share his bed.

She had this new control over him that he never imagined anybody could have. He knew he wouldn't be able to resist her. She had a brand new hold over him and it drove him wild. He would kill for her, he would do anything for her because she was in charge now. When she showed this new side, it made him weak at the knees, it made him want her more. He had it bad for this new Rey.

He liked it when she called him Ben, but she could've called him anything and he wouldn't care. She was so intoxicating to him, he could barely handle it.

She looked so beautiful between his bedsheets. He'd never seen her with her hair down before. Her dark, glossy locks cascaded down her bare shoulders. Something was different about her and not just her hair, she had a different look in her eyes, especially when she looked at him. A whole new energy radiated off of her now.

"I have something for you." Kylo said.

He helped her up and gave her one of his black v neck shirts. The shirt was too big for her. The cuffs were almost touching her fingertips and the bottom of the shirt almost came down to her knees, but somehow it looked so right on her. They came to a room with a huge chest.

"Open it." He said.

She did and found a number of garments of red and black. There was everything - tops, bottoms, jewellery, dresses, cloaks and pyjamas all her size.

"I had this ready just incase you wanted to join me here I hope they're alright." He said sheepishly.

Rey smiled.

"They're perfect." She said to him. "Thank you."

"He must've spent a fortune on all of this." She thought to herself.

"I'll show you to the spare room. It's not much, but we can do it up however you like and get some new furniture for you. I want you to feel at home here."

He carried the chest and showed her to a small room adjacent to his. It had a single bed with cream walls, a chest of drawers and a mirror. She smiled.

"And I'm always next door if you need me. I'm just going to inform Hux about the situation. I think it's best if I tell him. You get settled in, maybe get changed and I'll be right back."

"Thank you." Rey said again.

She looked around her new room. She looked through all the glamorous new clothes. She chose a long, black dress that complimented her curves with a velvety cloak that reached all the way down to the floor. She placed a golden necklace around her neck. It had a large detailed snake charm that lay perfectly upon her chest. She sat on the bed. Part of her hoped to share Kylo's again - maybe she would.

She had never felt so close to anybody. She thought back to last night and how gentle but rough Kylo was with her, how passionate their bodies felt together and how comforting it was to wake up next to him. She longed for more nights like that.

'But what does it all mean?' She thought.

Meanwhile, Kylo approached Hux.

"We have a new member of our team. Rey has converted to the dark side." He informed.

"The scavenger?!" Spat Hux.

"She is no scavenger. Her grandfather is Palpatine. She can be of use to the order." Kylo responded.

"Just don't get distracted, sir." He replied in his usual monotone voice.

"Careful." Said Kylo, force choking him slightly. "Don't forget your place."

He let him down slowly.

"Yes sir." Said Hux, getting his breath back.

He strode back down the corridor and knocked on Rey's door. She opened it and he had to stop his jaw dropping. His thoughts in that moment were purely primal again. Seeing her standing there dressed in all black like him was mesmerising to him. He knew that she could have him in any way if she wanted. He would succumb completely to her if she asked. This hold she had on him was overwhelming. He didn't know what she was capable of doing to him, but he knew that he would submit to anything she wanted.

"I'll...I'll show you arou-around the ship. If...um..if you want." He said, tripping over his words, still in awe of the sight in front of him.

Rey nodded and they walked around the ship. Troops of guards stopped and saluted as they walked past. They weren't just saluting him anymore, but both of them as a pair, as a king with his queen or an emperor with his empress. The brand new respect she gained felt good. She understood why Kylo never wanted to leave here.

They strolled into the control room where Hux was.

"This is Rey. Remember to play nice." Kylo said to him.

Hux glanced in Rey's direction. She could tell he wasn't thrilled at her arrival. Maybe it was jealousy or he felt threatened. She never had him down as a particularly friendly or welcoming person to begin with but maybe they could get along in time.

Rey felt content with her new home. She was respected, she had a new kind of power and most of all she had Kylo Ren to guide her.
