Maybe it was too late to save him. Maybe both Kya and Ben were too far gone. As much as I keep thinking out it I don't want to truly believe it. Now that I know what he did, I really don't know if I can face them both. I curled up to keep warm. Rey wrapped her arm around me. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you" She whispered as I held back tears. "It's okay" I whispered and wiped my tears that managed to escape. "I don't know if I can do this" I mumbled. "You're strong. You can do anything" Rey said as she brought me closer to her. "No get some rest, we will be busy tomorrow" She whispered and played with my long hair and I began to fall asleep.

I looked around and I couldn't see anything. I ran as fast as I could. I felt scared but I didn't know why. "Hello?" I called out and I looked around. It was sandy and dark. I could hear crying. "Let me go!!" The voice screamed from afar. I ran towards it. I saw....me? I was a child. "It's okay. You're going to be okay" the familiar soothing voice. I could see my face, I was crying. That's all I could see. I didn't know what this meant. I looked over to what my younger self was trying to run towards. A body? Who's? The man picked me up and I struggled in his arms.

I looked around.  A ship? I was on a ship and it certainly wasn't mine. "They landed on Tatooine. We go there first." I heard Kylos voice speak bit I couldn't see him. "I think they're on D'qar, Ren" Kya spoke up. "The tracking says Tatooine" He argued.

I woke up from a familiar beep, sweat pouring from my face. "BB-8, is that you?" He beeped again. "Hey you" I whispered. He beeped, he was happy to see me. I looked up and saw a worried wookie. "I'm fine, Chewie" I whispered and slowly got up. I didn't want to wake Rey. I knew she needed as much rest as possible.  I followed BB and Chewie. They brought me to what looked like a cafeteria. I saw Poe and Finn and decided to go sit with them.

"What are you doing up so late" Poe asked with a smile on his face. "I was sleeping" I mumbled tiredly. "You need rest, you've got training tomorrow" Finn spoke up. "I can't sleep" I mumbled, laying my head in my hands. "Nightmares" I mumbled. I felt Reys presence. "You okay?" Her soft voice spoke up. I nodded. "Rey! Good to see you!" Finn yelled getting up and hugging her tight. "Good to see you too old friend" She smiled. I got up, letting them have their moment. Chewie and BB-8 stayed with Poe and Finn. I went back to my room.

I began to think of my dreams. These dreams were different. Why was I dreaming about my childhood? All I remember was being with my parents. I don't remember anything like what I saw in my dream. I can't exactly figure out who the man was. I don't understand! I've never had any dreams like that.

Rey walked in, pulling me from my thoughts. "You keep disappearing" She spoke and sat on the bed. I sat next to her. "I'm sorry." I mumbled and layed on the bed. Rey wrapped her arms around me. "I missed you..." I whispered. "Then why didn't you come back? You said you'd come back" I could hear the pain in her voice. "I was only trying to protect you" I mumbled. "From what?" She asked. I could feel her anger rising. "Myself..." I mumbled so quietly. "What do you mean? What does that mean?" She raised her voice and sat up. "I'm not stable. I don't want to hurt you" I spoke up and layed down, my back facing the wall. Rey got up and left the room, leaving me alone. I'll probably just Rey or Leia about the dreams tomorrow.
