Kylo Ren's P.O.V.

I was standing before him, being dictated by my saber but Rey was there. "Luke Skywalker, what a surprise. I didn't expected guests today." I said as I walked closer, Rey was assuming that she's free. "I'm sorry but I have to think about it." I added, deactivating my weapon. "You can't hide, Ben." He replied furiously, almost ready to fight, but he was too tired, too old. "Enough you two! Master Luke, let's go." She cried out irritated yet wanting to stay. I let them go, but I gave him a hint that we'll face each other again. She loves me, the scavenger. She couldn't keep it because it will fall to that no matter what, now all I have to do is to escape here. I won't turn to their side, we'll talk and she'll see. "Grandfather, please help me know what's right." I held my grandfather's ruins and closed my eyes trying to feel the dark force fill me, but the light side calls out hitting me with the people from my past. I felt shattered, apologizing to my grandfather for feeling this way. I tried to remember every word Snoke told me but the call to the light, it's strengthening in me. I knelt beside my bed and slammed my head on my arms. "What's wrong?" A strange yet familiar voice asked blandly. He was behind me at the right. I turned furiously and saw the soul of my grandfather, but he's in the form of Anakin Skywalker. I couldn't move or speak in awe of what's in front of me. The energy of the force filled the silence of this room all of the sudden. We stared at each other until I earned a little courage to speak. "Is that you? Are you Darth Vader?" I asked hesitantly shaking at every word. He was calm yet unpredictable, and his stare is like a thousand deathstars trembling. I couldn't tell what I was feeling, and what's worse is repeating my question in my head I wanted to kill myself. "I used to be." He said with his head on his toes. I was about to speak when he added, "Grandson, if you follow my footsteps, please don't. Am I not enough evidence for you? Go back." He said with eyes full of regret. All of what I expected, trash. My heart fell into chaos infecting my mind. Then he spoke obvious that he read my thoughts. "Ben, I'm proud of you." He said with a smile as he walked nearer and tapped my shoulder with him forming into Darth Vader. My heart beat raised until I feel some kind of choking disturbing me. He asked what was wrong and I pretended so I'd go to less trouble, but he knew. "Will you help me?" I asked him shyly. I lowered my head and he knelt down to my level, telling me that all I want will be mine if I follow him. He talked to me about my past and that I should let go of what I've become. His point is very clear, but I defended myself. We were getting deeper with the subject when Captain Phasma knocked. I stared at the door and when I looked his way he was gone. I didn't called his name because she might hear me so I stood up and opened up for her. She told me about a new task, and as she discusses it one by one I scanned her if she had any clue about me and Rey, but I got none. I said yes to everything and she marched away. I went straight to sleep thinking about a promise he said to me that he'll be in every dream I'll have until I do what he has told me to do.

I dreamed about her. I was holding her in my arms, she was loving it, moving closer in comfort. I was naked, but she wasn't. We were in my room but when I looked outside we were in Naboo. I sat quickly, scrambled my head and I thought I was awake, so I laid back and slept with her. When I woke up from my dream I was devastated. She has said so many promises that made me believe everything was true, and what about my grandfather's promise? Sitting miserably I cried silently, full of revenge to the resistance and wanting to get her back here.

I woke up unconscious that I was in Jakku, having no idea what they're up to. I was lying on a small bed inside a peasant's house, I bumped badly on the ceiling of her double deck and my scream got the attention of the droid. The undesirable place pulled me to go out. Then I saw her ten feet away, looking at the farthest from here in the blazing sun. I walked close to the orange white droid but it rolled away and when I turned to the left the stormtrooper caught my eye. We locked eyes shortly assessing ourselves before he even spit his late reaction. "Woah, you gotta be kidding me.." I walked close to him, then talked nonsense face to face. "We've meet again, traitor." I waited for him to speak when he roared out foolishly. I laughed to piss him and then heard Rey screaming the name I hate. I walked to her right away irritated as twice with the weather. She faced me, selfless and smiling the smile that kills me slowly. I grinned at her giving a sign. "What are you up to, jedi? I see you being dictated." I walked near her, almost touching her. Her face was ready for battle but still calm with a hint of atmosphere that she missed me. "You're right. I just obey." She said flatly and walked out immediately. "Wait.." I choked out with a shaky voice and a hesitated step towards her. She turned back with a sorrowed face and left holding a quarterstaff with her head on her toes. I heard her footsteps in the sand which reminded me of my grandfather. I hurried to her but I only saw her footsteps. Then I felt a man looking at me. It was him, waiting for me to do what he forced me to. I promised but he doesn't believe me one bit though I know that he would even if I try my hardest. I feel like a disgrace to him as I walk towards his direction when he faded away. "No. No!" I tried to chase him but I got none. "Hey!" I heard Rey walking towards me, she was angry. "You have to understand. He wants you back." She stopped in front of me and I can see in her eyes that she had feelings for me. Moreover she was in favor of his request, command rather. "You are not in this jedi, and how could you think that you can do anything that easy?" I headed to a freighter when a flood of ships shadowed down us, it was the resistance. I failed to reach it when my friend blew a spell on me. I felt nothing and all I could see was black. I woke up with my enemies in front of me, and General Leia, she was so close. I couldn't feel my saber with me than made me throw the things around me and the people ran away. "Where is she?" I asked Rey. "She went home. You know she is a double crosser so why are you mad at her? She does what she thinks is right." She held my hand assuming that I'm slowly turning to their side. "Ben." A familiar voiced disturbed me. "It's nice meeting you." I choked out then the wookie entered with a roar when she stopped him. "Son, I missed you so much." She caressed my cheek and looked me in the eyes. I felt it again. Then I walked away but she followed me, she embraced me and I tried to get her off me. He appeared again, this time he was Darth Vader.
