"LEIA" I screamed angrily as I pushed my way back into the base, Kylo followed quickly after me as I furiously went to find her. The storm troopers followed behind me as well, their armour clinking on the ground as she kept a steady pace, weapons ready. "LEIA!" I screamed furiously, finding her in the courtyard with the wookie, I drew my black lightsaber, readying it behind me as she turned around. Chewie wasted no time bringing out his weapon and protecting the princess, but she stared at me without fear. She stared at Ben, and he stared back not able to process, his father was a different story. But his mother...

"Kylo" I spoke "what are the orders?" He didn't speak, and I knew in that moment I had to assume command. The troopers created a semi circle around me, weapons fixed on Leia and Chewie. "WHERE ARE THEY GOING, GENERAL?!" I yelled, but she shook her head.

"I won't ever tell you." I withdrew my lightsaber, putting it back in my belt.

"I'm giving you an opportunity to keep your base and your friends in tact" Leia folded her arms across her chest, and the wookie made a threatening noise to counter my threat, his weapon fixed directly on me. I stepped forward slowly, looking her in her eyes, Chewie pressed the tip of his weapon to my chest, allowing me near Leia, but ready to kill me if I made any sort of mistake. I could feel Kylo's distraught as we took steps further. "Tell us where they're going, and we'll leave no problem" I looked up, noticing the others come out, including the treacherous storm trooper.

"No." She breathed. I smiled at her, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in confusion.

"Fine" I spoke calmly, turning on my heel and walking back towards my storm troopers. I raised my hand and they loaded their weapons. "Destroy the base and everyone in it" I grabbed kylos arm and he shook his head.

"Don't" he could barely speak.

"What?" I tilted my head. The storm troopers were confused as to who's orders to follow. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of pain. He was conflicted. I pointed at two storm troopers. "You! Take Ren back to the ship" he looked at me uneasy, but went to grab Kylo who pulled his arm away roughly.

The storm troopers began shooting the base down, destroying it. I stood, looking directly into the princesses eyes, I wanted to see her pain.

"WAIT!" She called and I raised my hand, signalling the storm troopers to stop. "Kya..." She looked at Chewie for a brief moment "don't you want to know why the Sith came for you?" I froze, my eyes widening and by breath caught in my throat.

"How-"

"I know the answers, call off your men, send them back to the ship. I will speak with you one on one and then you will leave this base." I wanted to know what she knew, there was no way she could se my dreams, and no other way she could know that unless she was there. I looked over at Kylo, who seemed just as confused. He had no idea about anything.

"No" I raised my hand again, but before the troopers started, Kylo grabbed my arm.

"Go, let her explain. No use in destroying this base, we'll leave right on their trail right after" he stared into my eyes.

"You trust them, they'll keep me captive" he looked at his mother.

"No she won't... I'll kill her." Leia took a deep breath, staring at her son. He looked back at me, running his hand on my face. "Go"

I looked at Leia as Kylo took our troopers back to the ship. A Chewie lowered his weapon and for this one moment, there was a truce between me and them. The others left, leaving me and Leia alone in the courtyard as the sky grew dark and the stars came out.

I stared at her as she explained. So many questions were in my mind and my eyes overflowed with silent tears as my mind became overwhelmed.

"What do you mean I have no father?!" I screamed, standing up. "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE"

"The same way it was for Anakin Skywalker" my eyes widened. This was impossible... I stumbled back a little bit.

"I can't be.., he... He was the chosen one.. I..."

"You are the chosen one, Kya" she spoke calmly, but her voice was so soothing even with the information. "I know it's a lot to handle, but Kya you have to realize this is why the Sith came for you, this is why Luke took you and your sister in, to protect you."

"Luke didn't protect us, he didn't protect anyone. HOW MANY DIED BECAUSE OF HIM"

"But he saved you and your sister, Kya." I began to weep silently, but refused to show it.

"Alexia-"

"No, she came from a different family, when her parents were killed she was given to yours... There is no relationship between you"

"YOURE LYING" I screamed, my face wet and my voice thick with emotion. This couldn't be true. "HOW WOULD TOU KNOW?!"

"Your mother was a dear friend of mine, when i found Alexia, she was the only one I trusted. The Sith murdered your parents, Kya not the jedi, they came for you that day..." I shook my head furiously.

"YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING"

"Luke saved you from the dark side, but we didn't know you'd find your way there yourself" I collapsed on my knees as Leia spoke, screaming as my fingers dug into the ground. I was breathing heavily and I wondered if Kylo could feel this pain and confusion I felt. My own sister was not my sister, and once again, the Jedi proved to be untrustworthy, they lied to us our whole life. Leia crouched down in front of me, placing her gentle arm on my shoulder. "Kya, my sweet girl" she lifted my chin so I could look at her face "you're better than this, You're stronger than this... Please come back home"

"Why did you lie..." I sobbed, looking at Leia's eyes that resembled bens so clearly  "why didn't you tell me I was the chosen one?!"

"You were too young... And we hoped-"

"What?! HOPED WHAT THAT I WOULDNT TURN INTO ANAKIN?!" I yelled, standing up. She stared at me and I could see it clearly right there. Fear. I had a power I didn't even know of.

"Kya please" she held my cheek "come back to the light" I stared at her for a moment, and I felt a tug on my heart strings. But I quickly cut off this desire and let the anger control me.

"My whole life is a lie and you want me to trust you and the light?!" She stared at me, and I think for once, she understood my madness. "You shouldn't have told me about this Leia, did you really think I would come back to the light?" She opened her mouth To speak but couldnt get anything out but my name. "I know what I am capable of now and I will be sure to use it" Leia shook her head profusely.

"Kya please, come back... Bring my Ben back...." I could see the tears in her eyes, and this broke my heart. But I shook my head.

"I will honour our agreement, and we will be leaving your base now. But you can be sure, the next time we come into contact, I will not be so merciful" I turned on my heel, my fists clenched in attempt to hold in all the emotions I felt as I walked back to the ship. I could hear Leia sob as the wookie comforted her, "it's okay" he spoke gently..

Apart of me hoped that I would never see them again.
