"𝓟𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮." | Kylo Ren x Y/N |

"What's going on?" You made your way beside Finn and Poe, standing in a crowd of people all around General Organa.

"No idea." Finn said, "New information about the First Order?"

Leia stood in front of the crowd of people, what was left of the Resistance. Not much...but enough.

"We've received new information." She sighed, a sadness in her voice, "The First Orders main ship...has planet destroying weapons...and they've already destroyed much of the republic."

Gasps echoed through the crowd.
You wondered. Why?! A whole planet?! How many?! Those are innocent people!

You wanted to shout. To cry. To do anything. Other than feel the way you did now. Guilty. And useless.

"I know...there is sadness." Leia continued, "Sadness for all of us. But...we must remain vigilant. Remain steady in this fight. The force is with us." She said, "With all of us. And with the fallen families and children. Safe. And protected. Han will be arriving in the Falcon, tomorrow I believe. They may know something about how to defeat this ship. Or stop it. May the force be with us all."

Whispers began to errupt. Rumoring the ship and planet killing abilities, wishing the force upon people, and praying to whoever they believed in...that someone would save them.

You looked around. Han was arriving tomorrow? You smiled lightly beside Finn and Poe. You remembered when Finn, BB-8 and you were on Hans ship with him and they made there way to the Resistance base. He had left days after trying to figure out the precise location of the First Orders main battleships. It would be nice to see him again. Leia and Han together again as well. It always warms your heart to see the two of them together.

On the other hand a whole new problem entirely. The First Orders ships. How could they...destroy planets. Not even just one. But multiple. Incinerating everything. Much like the Death Star in the old war. But much stronger. More powerful. If that was even possible.

That's no work of man. If Kylo Ren even was a man. No. He was a monster.

------------------------------------------------------------------

As the suns fully set and the moons rose in the sky. You made your way to your....tent. more like a shack made of fabric. So he's a tent. But a large one. All the Resistance homes were like this. Heavy fabric tents with blankets and water systems. It was nice and warm. Home.

Your mind raced with thoughts of the Resistance, Han, the war, Leia, Poe, Finn, and Kylo Ren. What do I do? After all, you can't stay and train forever. You needed to be doing something. Anything. To help turn the tides in this fight. For the planets that were destroyed and the people who were killed. And for you. For your own passion of justice. For you. And for your friends, family.

As you cleaned yourself and changed into more comfortable wear, you laid on your bed of blankets, staring up at the pale fabric ceiling of your tent. Sighing you placed your lightsaber on the floor beside you.

A familiar hummm echoed in the air. The force. Quickly rising you grabbed the hilt of your lightsaber. Tucking it behind your back. And bracing what was coming. Or who was coming.

As you assumed, Kylo Ren appeared. Wearing his tight fitted black robes and mask. His hood was off though, almost falling off of his squared shoulders.

You stood, unsure of what to do...or say. But you held your ground. Then said:
"What are you?"

Rens head turned to the side, his hands behind his back. Unwavering. Unafraid whatsoever.
You signed, "You can't be a man."

"Why's that?" His head cocked slightly to the side. His grainy deep masked voice sending a shudder through you.

Uncontrollably, water welled in your eyes, "You destroyed planets. Planets. Full of people. Families?! Children. Innocents..." Your voice cracked slightly, your grip tightening on your lightsaber being your back.

"And?"

You couldn't help but scoff, "Your a monster."

He didn't respond. Just stood. Honestly it annoyed you more he wasn't speaking or trying to kill you. Instead...he was just standing. So calm. Like this was a normal interaction for him.

"Why did you do it?" You asked, cautiously taking a step forward, "What are you hiding under that mask?"

He hummed, "I did it. Because...I could." His voice was menacing, "Wiping out the last rot of the rebellions. Giving way to the Order."

You shook your head, "Millions of people." You whispered, "Dead."

"And millions more to go." He said.

At that you ignighted your lightsaber, swinging it forward. But he was too fast, lighting his own and meeting it with yours. You grunted, trying to push against him. Honestly you weren't sure what would have happened. You were connected by the force after all. You didnt know physical contact with him was even possible...

He pushed you back. You raised your saber again, aiming for him. But he deflected, swinging his lightsaber against yours with a CRACK! Pushing you down you swiftly moved from his target, letting him stumble back.

"You deserve to die for what you did!" You say, slashing your saber at his head.

Ren leaned back, avoiding the slice with ease, "Maybe." He said, "But the Resistance needs a new realization."

You narrowed your eyes at him, lightsaber to lightsaber, "Yea? What's that?"

He pushed against you, your legs shook as you were holding his weight against your own.

"You'll never know the power or the strength that comes from the Dark Side."

"Lies." You say, "the Dark Side is a manipulative disease. Taking people and killing them. Replacing them with servants of night."

You drew your lightsaber from his, moving back. You both stood, lightsabers lit. Watching. Waiting.

"Your foolish." He said, "Did Leia tell you that?"

You gasped as he pushed harder his lightsaber coming closer to your face
Wait...did he know Leia? What?

"I'd rather die a foolish girl. Than to be a monster like you." You said.

Suddenly, he was gone. Cut off. You stood there. Waiting for a return. An attack. The hummm of the force...but nothing.

Unlighting your saber. You slumped down.

Why is this happening to me? To any of us? Just...why???
