Star Wars: The Dark And The Light

The Beginning

Everything was already packed. we will leave at dawn. Having all kind of feelings at the same time make it impossible to sleep. i must confest i was excited, i was going to see my mother. i had not seen her, since i was like seven. i hope it doesn't get too awkward. i'm eager to meet the new people Rey has been talking about. Finn for example, a former stormtrooper that betrayed the first order, pretty cool huh? and Poe Dameron, who's apparently the best pilot in the galaxy. i think she's been trying to keep me distracted from the fact that my asshole brother killed my father. she was talking about some droid named BB 8 and how it lead her to Finn and my father...

did you saw it?- i asked, clearly interrupting her nonsense talk. she tried to look confused. - did you saw when he.. when he kill him?- she gave me the pitty look.- did he suffered?- i asked again trying to get some answers.

Look- she finally said.- i'm not gonna pretend i understand your pain. i cannot even start to understand what it's like to be you, having all this weight on your shoulders; you're just a girl.

that's not what i asked.- i replied.- i know the price i will have to pay to fulfill my mission, i'm ready. i just need to understand why he did it, maybe it will make it easier when the time comes.- i could tell she was selecting her words. when she said:

i was there, i saw everything. - she said while her voice started to crack.- i should have stopped him, if only i had known, what your brother was planning to do, who he was. i would've killed him, giving the chance, maybe Han would be alive.

it wasn't until that moment that i actually understand her, her conflict. she didn't knew. she knew the names, she heard the legends. but she didn't knew the faces. she had no idea who she was. the power running through her veins. she was a Skywalker. i'm sure my father had good reasons to keeping it from her. maybe he was trying to protect her, from Kylo. from the weight of being part of this family. or he didn't recognized her. Maybe Kylo didn't recognized her either, he would have try to recruit her. you know to the darkside. sometimes i think about this, the darkside, the sith, the Jedi and the endless battle.  i wonder what would it be like if things were different. now i get what took so long, you know; when she arrived. she came here looking for my uncle, and she found more than that. i guess we have this in common. we both grew up without a father. guess is prophetic justice, she get to knew father more than i ever could. and her father abandoned her in exchange of training me. wow i wasn't even born back then and i have already fucked this girl childhood

Aria? - She said- i totally forgot she was talking to me - do you think we can save him? Kylo? - What? what is she talking about, i was totally lost on my thoughts.

Wow, where did this came from? - I asked - you don't actually thinks he deserves salvation do you? - i said  cold hearted.

Does any of us deserve it?- she replied kindly. - it's just a thought that's been in my head for a while.

Did you even know the guy?- i said confused- he's a fanatic, a psychopath, and a murderer. there's not coming back from that.

don't be so sure.- she said - i saw something in him. he's struggling.

excuse me- i said sarcastically- did you realize that before or after he torture you for hours?

i want to think he's just lost. if he can be saved, then there's nothing to impossible to accomplish

****

I'm coming for you, there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. this ends now.

****

I opened my eyes and all i could see was uncle Luke standing there, with a perplex look in his eyes. Rey was on the floor holding my head, she looked very worried.

What happened?- i asked very confused

You had an episode- Luke said

What the hell is an episode? - i replied, as i sat on the floor putting my hands right behind my back.

He got into your head- he responded.

He?- i said

Be.. Kylo.- he finally said.- One minute you were perfect, the next you started to scream."get out of my head, get out" and then you fainted.- He said. I took my head with both hands, it really hurt.

You remember anything, what did he wanted?- Rey said.

I tried to remember, but everything was fuzzy.- He's coming- I shout - we have to leave.
