     "How's Ben's training coming along?" Leia, your mother-in-law, asks you one afternoon that you're over at her and Han's home.
     You smile. "Very good. Uncle Luke is a wonderful master. Ben can't boast about him enough." You answer, extremely proud of your husband.
     Leia smiles kindly at you. "And how are you holding up with Ben being away a few months at a time?" She asks.
     You sigh, your smile fading. You shrug. "It's hard, especially that we're newly weds. Out of the six months that we've been married, I think I've only seen him for a few weeks all together." You reply.
     Leia puts her hand on yours. "It will get easier, Y/N. Ben's training is almost complete and he'll become a Jedi master and the husband you married." She says.
     You smile and nod. "I know." You say.
     She rubs your back. "When will you see him again?" She questions.
     "He said maybe sometime this week or the next. He never gives warning, he just shows up."  You explain. Leia hugs you tightly and you hug her back, so grateful to have a mother-in-law like her.
     "Well when he visits you, tell Han and I so we can see our son." She says.
     "I will, Leia. I promise." You reply.

     "Y/N!" You hear someone screaming your name. You wake up with a gasp, realizing it's Han. You run through your dark house and then open the front door. You see Han jumping off of a speeder.
      "What is it?" You ask worriedly.
     "Some of Luke's padawans have been killed." He states, his voice hoarse. Your heart stops.
     "All of them? By who?" You ask.
     "I don't how many have been killed. Luke sent me a transmission but it was jammed before he could give me the details." Han answers. Your hand covers your mouth and you feel sick to your stomach. "I have to get back to Leia, she's a wreck. I'll let you know if we hear anything." He says.
     You nod as he hops back on his speeder and drives off in a cloud of dust. You turn back to the house, feeling the color drain from your face.
     "Oh, Ben, please be all right." You plead, tears in your eyes, walking back into your house.

     You lay on your bed, staring at your wall. You jump when your front door slams open, sending gusts of wind into your house. You slide off your bed and grab your blaster. Slowly making your way into the front of your house, you drop the gun when you see Ben standing in the door way.
     "Ben." You breathe, before running into his arms. "Han... He said that some of Uncle Luke's padawans have been killed. I was so worried you were one of them." You blurt out, crying. You look at him and notice the strange look on his face. "Ben, what happened?" You ask worriedly.
     "I'm so sorry, Y/N, but I had to do it." Ben whispers slowly. Your eyebrows draw and you take a step away from him.
     "Do what, Ben? What did you do?" You ask, staring at him, having a very bad feeling about this. Your eyes drop to the lightsaber on his hip. "How did you-" You're about to ask before you stop yourself, suddenly realizing what happened. The lightsaber that Ben constructed as a padawan looks nothing like the one that's on his hip now. This one looks for more... evil. You shake your head slowly, your heart breaking. "No, no, no, no, Ben. You didn't. You couldn't have." You whisper, breathing heavily.
     You're suddenly surrounded by Knights of Ren and you immediately look for your blaster. A knight kicks it the side.
     "Ben, no. Please tell me no." You cry, shaking your head, putting a hand on your heart that literally feels like it's tearing apart.
     "I have to fulfill grandfather's dream, Y/N. I have to finish what he started." Ben says earnestly.
     "How could you?!" You sob. "You killed your friends! Other padawans!" You exclaim, falling to your knees, clutching your chest.
     "It had to be done! The Resistance must fall!" Ben exclaims angrily. He kneels before you. "Join me, Y/N. Join the First Order." He adds, cupping your cheek.
     "Why can't we just live here and be a married couple in love with each other, like normal? Why did you have to change, Ben? I don't know who you've become." You reply, your voice cracking, looking up into his eyes. He takes in a deep breath and stands.
     "Kylo, if she doesn't join, we should destroy her. Snoke would want that." A knight says.
     "Snoke promised me no one would lay a hand on her. So if any of you do, I will personally see to it that you die painfully." Ben says menacingly, glaring at the men.
     "Well, we're not technically laying a hand on her..." Another knight mutters under his breath, before pulling you up into the air by the Force and choking you.
      You gasp, your hands clawing at your neck. "Ben, help me." You gasp, your hand outstretched.
      "No, stop!" Ben shouts, running for the Knight. Before your husband can get to the knight, the knight clenches his fist and swiftly snaps your neck. You let out a short lived cry and collapse to the floor, dead.
     "Nooo!!" Ben screams. He whips out his lightsaber and kills the knight who murdered you. "Everyone, get out!" Ben shouts, tears in his eyes. The knights of Ren leave your home. "Y/N." Ben whimpers, crashing to his knees beside you. He turns you over and starts crying. "I'm so sorry, Y/N. I am so sorry." He weeps, pulling you into his arms and holding you close. He rocks you back and forth.
     "Kylo, there's a speeder coming, we have to go." A knight says, entering the house.
     Kylo sniffs and sets you on the floor. He kisses your lips and brushes the hair away from your face. "I love you. I hope you knew that." He whispers.
     "Kylo." A knight complains.
     "Coming, I'm coming." Kylo says gruffly. He exits the house, brushing away the tears, and then enters into the woods with the Knights of Ren, clasping your wedding ring in his hand.
[THE END] I hope you liked it!
