Change My Mind

Chapter 1

"I need that map to Skywalker... I need it now!" I sat in one of the many lounges upon the Star Destroyer, laid casually on the couch within the room, watching my brother, Ben Solo, or as he likes to be called, Kylo Ren, pace in front of me.

"And we're going to get it. Stressing out is only going to make things worse," I said, resting my head in my hands because of the growing headache.

"I'm not stressing out!" I just stared at him as he groaned and pulled out his lightsaber. Just as he went to ignite it, I held out my hand and his lightsaber flew towards me. I caught it causing Ben to look at me. "Give that back!"

"I'm not going to have you destroy yet another one of our rooms." He then began to storm towards me but I stood up and ignited my lightsaber and his at once, holding one in either hand. My was identical to Ben's, though black instead of red. Ben backed up as I spun the lightsabers and pointed them at him. I didn't even have to say anything, my looks and action were enough to get him to calm down. I then got this feeling... like an unwanted presence approaching... just before General Hux walked in.

"Oh, I've interrupted something," he said, rather coldly. I closed both lightsabers and glared at him.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"We've found it..." he said, "Here."

Ben and I stood at the head of a ship as it slowly landed in a small village. Our Stormtroopers were already causing chaos amongst the people; fire, screaming... death.

It was the only way people would listen.

The door opened and Ben and I walked out. He, of course, was wearing a mask while I could care less about my identity. I kept my name the same and my face was free.

My dark brown eyes scanned around while my head of wavy, black hair blew perfectly in the winds of chaos.

I watched the Stormtroopers line the villagers up, two walking towards us, holding onto a familiar face. Lor San Tekka. We approached him.

"Look how old you've become," Ben said

"Something far worse has happened to you," Tekka said.

"You know what we've come for," I said, watching him.

"I know where you two come from," Tekka said before turning to Ben, "Before you called yourself Kylo Ren."

"The map to Skywalker. We know you've found it, and now you're going to give it to the First Order."

"The First Order rose from the dark side... you did not." Ben stepped closer to Tekka as I stayed behind, scanning the crowd. That's when I noticed something... More like... someone.

A man... hiding behind a bush, watching Ben but not me... He never noticed me... but I spotted him. And I got this feeling as I watched him... Like the Force calling me... Like a sort of... passion.

"I'll show you the dark side," Ben said to Tekka.

"You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family."

"You're so right." Ben then ignited his lightsaber and held it high before quickly striking down, killing Tekka. I watched as the hiding man emerged and shot his blaster towards Ben. I then held out my hand, using the Force to stop him and his blast in place. He struggled for a moment before two Stormtrooper walked over and began to escort him. He looked back at the still blast in disbelief before he was escorted and forced onto his knees in front of me. I looked down at him, tilting my head slightly as he watched the ground. I crouched and examined him as he looked at me in silence. There was still silence as I examined his every feature... From his deep brown eyes to his slightly crooked nose. The hairs falling in his face, the split on his bottom lip.
