Darkness At Dawn • Kylo Ren [1]

XLIII

"One day, you will learn to love somebody the way I love you."

∫

Without hesitation or a doubt, Elara pondered the presence of not just Han Solo but her two children as well. If she felt their presence, Kylo most likely had  as well. This meant she would have to be the first one to find them, be the first to remind them who really loved them more. In all odds, Elara would always pick her children over Kylo but she was torn between her children and Ben...

"General Jane." A stormstopper interrupted her thoughts as she roamed the hallways in search of Bellamy and Jude.

"Evening." She coughed uncomfortably.

"It's okay." The trooper whispered. "It's Celestia."

A heavy breath escaped her lips. "Thank goodness!" She brought Celestia into her arms. "Where is Remi?"

Celestia took off her helmet, revealing her stunning features and long blonde hair. "She's preparing an escape ship for us."

Elara's face twisted. "I cannot leave with you."

"What?" Celestia gaped. "Why not?"

"My children are sneaking around amongst us and I have to get them to safety before I can leave with you." Elara tucked her hood over her auburn hair cascading down her back. "If I am not on the ship in two hours, leave to the Resistance."

"Elara-"

"I am general and I do command that this is my final order!"

Celestia nodded, wrapping an arm around Elara once more. "May the force be with you."

Elara smiled. "And with you Celestia, be careful."

"Same with you." And she took off down the hall, breaking all chains that held her from being who she wanted to be.

Elara grasped her lightsaber, weighing the elegant weapon in her hand before tucking it back in her sleeve, in case she needed it. She started jogging around Starkiller base, desperately looking for Bellamy and Jude, as well as thinking out her next move.

"Right." She muttered to herself, fighting to remember what Anakin had showed her.

The girl will stay alive for as long as I live.

What could that possibly mean? She felt as if she was being drowned by a river of time. The future had been set in stone, meaning that no matter what Elara did now, the untold future will happen.

We can't tell you the future but we could show you the key events in the past that will lead up to a point in the future.

As much as Elara missed her dear friend Vega, she was angered that she couldn't be more specific. Elara had been shown key events in both the future and the present but none of them seemed to be of any use. Watching Ben Solo be so intrigued by Darth Vader wasn't something that Elara was surprised about, she already knew that Ben wanted to be powerful like his grandfather. She watched in pain as Han and Leia put all their love into Ben and she watched as Snoke drained every last bit of love from Ben, making him Kylo Ren.

She wasn't sure what terrified her the most, the unknown future, the prophecy or her family.

She shook her head, she would not give in to negative thoughts or thinkings.

The unknown future would have to wait, she was living the present and the present called for her to find her children. Her next priority would be saving Kylo and then escaping. She couldn't be dark anymore, it wasn't in her blood.
