Defiance (Kylo Ren Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

A/N: I really don't understand why some chapters have more reads than others...? Also, I wanted to upload a chapter every single day, but with school it's quite difficult. Instead, I'll try uploading every few days. Anyways, enjoy the chapter. Annnnd, I watched TFA for a third time in theaters. I might make this a weekend thing.

When I close my eyes, darkness quickly consumes me and I feel myself falling in an endless pit of black. Just floating, my body never hitting the ground. I flail my hands around, trying to grasp onto something, yet nothing was reachable.

"Krista!" I hear his voice echo around me. I try and scream out to him, my throat is dry and no words come out. I feel the tears pouring from my eyes as I ascend further and further down the endless pit.

"Krista! Don't let them do this to me!" He sounds like he's in danger, and I can tell he's sobbing. What are they doing to him?

"Krista! It hurts, please stop this pain. I want to be free!" He screams, and it all goes silent.

I open my eyes, gasping for air. The sun is peaking through cracks of the wood surrounding me. I'm sweating, and desperate for some water. I decide to venture out since I'm now back home and need to start taking care of myself.

When I open the door, I'm greeted by the blinding sun, I raise my hand and cover my eyes. I look off into the distance and see a forest nearby, so I decide to walk off that way.
While walking, I notice a strange beeping noise in the distance. Out of curiosity, I begin to follow it.

"Hello?" I call out, trying to find out who or what it was.

"Get back!" A girl whispers.

"Hello?" I call out again, looking around. Suddenly, a droid shaped like a ball jumps out and greets me, shocking me in the process.

"Aye!" I scream out, kicking the droid with my foot.

"Watch it!" A girl jumps out, a boy walking out with her. I lift my blaster up, (Kylo gave it to me for safety), and point it at her face.

"Who are you!" I scream, my hands clutching tightly to the blaster. The boy gives me a stern and menacing look.

"That blaster!" He points, "That belongs to the First Order!" Instantly, him and the girl begin charging at me, but I raise my hands helplessly. If I don't tell them something then they might kill me.

"I stole it!" I blurt out, "My village was raided about 3 weeks ago. I was the only survivor... So I took this from one of the dead storm troopers."

Both of them lift down their weapons, "Oh, we're sorry. I'm Rey, and this is Finn. He's with the Resistance. We're looking for Maz Kanata. Han Solo was going to show us where she was, but something went wrong with his ship, so we're going off without him. He said it was this way." I watch as she points to the right.

"Uh, yeah. I can show you the way if you'd like." I offer.

Rey and Finn smile, "Yay! That would be amazing!"

As were walking through the crowded forest, I begin to speak up, "So, Han Solo is real?"

"Yeah, I heard about him as being the smuggler when I was a little kid." Rey spoke up.

"He's a war hero," I tell her.

I hear Finn chuckle, "That's what I told her."

When we arrive at Maz's temple, I step aside, "Well here it is. And I see your friends are waiting at the top of the steps." I look up, seeing the one and only Han Solo having small talk with Chewbacca.

"Why don't you come in?" Finn offers.

I shrug, "Perhaps. It's been a while since I've seen Maz."

When I was younger, I use to visit Maz all the time. She was like a grandmother to me, telling me about my parents and how important they were, even if no one saw it. Once, she even showed me Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. Ever since I held it, my heart belonged to the Jedi, like my parents. That was until I met Kylo, that damn man, poisoning my thoughts.

When we walk inside, I hear Maz scream out, "Han Solo! And who is this! Krista darlin'! It's really you!" I smile as Maz runs over to me, wrapping her scaly arms around mine, "Oh dear," she whispers, "I feel it."

I look down at her, "Maz?"

She brushes it off, "We'll talk later." She looks past me over to Han, Finn, and Rey. I nod my head, and she leads us to a vacant table.

I take small sips of my drink as Maz makes a plan for the three of them. I choose not to listen since none of it is my business. I find myself thinking about Kylo again.

His lips were so soft, and they felt familiar, as if I had kissed them before. Kylo, however, was my first kiss. I don't regret it, but it's a secret I'd hold on to forever. Next to me were the good guys, and if Kylo's name slipped out of my mouth I'd surely lose their trust, and I don't mind helping them. Even though I have no idea what they're doing or planning.

When I look up again, everyone had left, except for Maz. She grabs ahold of my hands and looks at me, "Krista, my lovely girl. I can feel him. He is corrupting you." My jaw drops in horror. I slip my hands away from hers.

"Maz, I don't know what you're talking about." I stutter, trying to sound convincing. But Maz was wise, she could see past any lie.

"Your home was destroyed. No survivors, not even you." She squints her eyes. "He took you."

I look away from her, "Maz..."

"You can't fall under his spell Krista, darlin'. Your parents, think of them. You are a Jedi at heart. Don't let him seduce you to the dark side. You're powerful Krista, but your mind is weak. You need to seek training. My friends, they're going to find Luke, go with them." She urges.

"What if I see him again?" I whisper, tears filling my eyes, but I don't let any fall.

"You most likely will. But you must not let him control you. He just wants your power, and so does Snoke. I can feel it. They've already tried to seduce you." She tells me, "You're stronger than they are, and wiser. Which is why you need Luke. He will teach you the way of the Force. You're vulnerable, too much of an open mind, open enough for the Darkness to creep in." 

"I'm scared." I look up to her, my body trembling. It was all true, I needed to hear the words Maz was saying to me. Kylo Ren is bad, and he's just using me. I need to follow my parents and become a loyal Jedi, it's what I was destined to do.

I stand up, placing the palms of my hands on the smooth tabletop, "Let's go find Luke."

A/N: So, since Kylo and Krista aren't together again, I decided to incorporate the other SW characters as well. This story will not be following TFA plot like some stories do. Yes, there will be similarities, but I want this story to be more original than that.  Anyways, sorry for this being so late. I promise it won't happen again. Xoxo
