Trust the stars (Reylo fanfiction) #TheWattys2016

The resistance

"Relax Rey, they will be here any minute now." Luke called from behind. We are still on the island waiting for the ship to come and take us to the resistance base. I am so happy that I am going to see Finn, Poe and General Leia again, I can't wait any longer. A loud noise was heard from the sky, it is approaching us. The euphoria inside me is too obvious because I started smiling like a maniac, and waiving them to see me. The ship slowly settled down, and a huge iron door opened. A man in orange and white came out, his glare directly at mine, his smile obvious on his lips. I started running towards him with my arms wide open to hug him tightly.

"Finn! I am so happy to see you." I hugged him tightly, he smelled like spring air and grass, he felt like home. I don't know how long we stood like that, but for me it was too soon to let go. He did that first.

"Rey it is so nice to see you too! How are you? How is your training going?" His dark eyes reflecting the sunshine perfectly.

"Oh, It is great, I am doing great. And you?" He just smiled back, and looked at the ship, and then back again at me.

"It is great, I am now a pilot. My training was successful, but still when is needed, I fight with the blasters."

"Come on guys, it is time! I don't have all day, you know." Poe called from behind, while helping Master Luke climb the ship. I just glimpsed at Finn happy that we are reunited after a whole year and started to walk to the ship, when a thought hit me. Is that about Finn, Luke was talking about when he said I should listen to my heart? Time will answer me that. Only time. I climbed the ship and followed Luke inside. I wasn't the Millennium Falcon but it was enormous. There were couches, tables even drinking bars. I followed to the pilot room and looked inside. This one reminded me of the old ship that Han Solo used to drive.

"Who is the copilot?" Poe stood next to me looked at the chair.

"It is me and Finn on this one. Chewbacca is still the copilot on the Millennium Falcon, but there is no pilot. He waits for you to fill that place." This hit me right in the feelings. So I was that special? He liked me. I slowly nod, small smile on my lips assuring that it will happen.

"Let's go then, they await." And in a matter of minutes we were in the dark sky, flying with light speed. It took about an hour to reach the resistance base, maybe even more. When we landed softly on the ground, I was the first to come out. General Leia stood in the front patiently waiting for our arrival. When I got out I looked at her. She looked older, her grey hair covered with more white strings than before, sadness in her eyes, despair on her face. After all this she believed in a better future. Some would fail many times, but she continued to fight, that made her great and strong. I couldn't do anything else but adore her for the strength she has. She smiled softly, her warm eyes telling me welcome in her soft embrace, just like the one we had when I came back from the Star Killer Base year ago.

"Rey dear, you look gorgeous. Just stunning, simply stunning."

"Thank you general. I am extremely honored to be back here again, to help you with the First order."

"Yes, and I believe you will be of a great importance to the plan. But we need to talk, privately, just you and me." I was confused, what was so important to talk about, alone.

"If I may ask about what?" She glared at me, like she wanted me to read her eyes and understand her thoughts.

"About the power you have, the one you seek answers about. Dear child, your answers can be found here, Lets go inside and I will tell you more about it. So you can understand and use it properly." We went inside. There were a lot of people but she dragged me down the small white corridors where she entered a small room, I suppose it is her office. There were few chairs and a desk, I instantly saw a picture of her, Han and a small raven heard boy, no more than five. Kylo Ren, or then he was Ben. She saw that I watched the photo and just sat on one of the chairs. She showed me to sit down, opposite her and started.

"Luke told me everything, I know about your dreams, about the feelings about him." Her voice was slightly lower when she reached the last word.

"And what does it mean? Why him from all people? Am I traumatized or is it something more?"

"Yes...it is something more...well...you have a bond, a strong one." I was stunned by her statement, a bond, me and Kylo? Him from all people, no, just, no.

"A bond?" I asked, my voice flat.

"Yes. It doesn't happen often for someone to have a bond. It can happen naturally in really rare cases, or it can be formed. Either way it has the same function. You two are like one body now. "

"So he feels it too?"

"Yes."

"So how I know if it is natural or it happened on purpose."

"You need to find out that alone, with his help."And somehow I knew that was not going to be easy.
