Ben's pov
A week has passed since Savi arrived, and I must say, it seems that most of the pilots have grown quite attached to her! Rey on the other hand, hasn't. She's with me most of the time, but always seems on edge, and I can't say I blame her.
When Savi dose come to visit however, Rey has fire in her eyes and is teetering on the edge of a cliff, and with the slightest nudge would spiral down into annoyed anger, probably causing the end of the girl from the Defiance. And I can't say that I'd stop her.
Within the last week I've recovered so greatly as to not have to ride around in a wheel chair any more, but still must pace myself as to not reopen any wounds.
A few days ago, an x-wing, smoking and on the brink of blowing up showed up on our doorstep. Her pilot was badly hurt and unfortunately, died later that same day. But not before giving us a crucial bit of words that would give us preparation for the unavoidable event that all of us knew was coming. The preparation of war.
Since then, the base has been hectic. People running to and fro, this way and that. A larger number of troops drilling on the fields and in the sky. Even Luke is tense in anticipation for the future. He's taken up training Savi in the basics, just sensing what's going on around you.
Rey has been dragging me out to the fields to train as well. It seems almost opposite, really. A few weeks ago I was heck-bent on training her to the dark and now here I was getting help in the light.
"Try not to use aggression to fuel your power." She said patiently.
"It's hard." I said. After years and years of building this habit, it's become instinctive.
"I know, just try your best." She smiled and hugged me. "It's the best you'll be able to do."

Alright, apologizes all around. I'm super sorry that I haven't updated for a month, and I promise that I will try to do it quicker next, but life is crazy and I just moved houses so internet has been down and computers not set up.
I recognize that my chapters are relatively shorter than most Reylo fanfics, but this is the fourty-th chapter which most fanfics don't have so, ya, exiting.
Also, IMPORTANT!!!: there will only be a few chapters left before I end the book.
Thanks for enduring my crazy mind!
