Rey woke up in her bed inside the hut on top of the island. R2 beeped loudly, making a whirring sound. Suddenly, Master Luke's face came into view.
"By the stars, Rey, what the hell happened to you? I found you screaming out on the beach. I had to force you to sleep. You were delusional. What happened?" asked Luke, as he pressed Rey's shoulder back down.
Rey's memories came rushing back, of Kylo Ren being brutally beat by his knights, and fleeing the First order ship.
Rey sat straight up, tears running down her face.
"It's Ben! Snoke has done something to him! I thought he was going to die! And then he.. he lost a lot of blood... and.. and the coordinates!! He put in coordinates!" Rey shouted as she leaped off the small cot and ran to planet chart. She typed the coordinates into the computer, and a blue and green planet appeared.
"What do you mean, he lost a lot of blood? He was being attacked? How did you know?" questioned Luke, his eyes daggers in hers.
"It's complicated," Rey said. "The.. Force told me," she added. At least it wasn't a lie.
"Really? The force? Then please explain to me, padawan, how did you get a gash on your shoulder, and a perfect bow caster wound on your ribs? I don't see Chewy anywhere, and he damn sure wouldn't be shooting at you. So padawan, tell me again, how. Do. You. Know?"
Rey hesitated, contemplating on if she should tell Master Luke of the Force Bond.
She felt like it was something she should deal with on her own. She opened her mouth to tell him, when suddenly, her entire right side felt like it was on fire. She fell to her knees, screaming in pain, screaming Kylo's name. Luke ran to her, and held her side, his eyes unfocused at a distance. White light began escaping from his fingers, and Rey's side began to tingle, the pain from what ever happened to Kylo subsiding. Once the pain was gone, and only pink skin was left, Luke sat down.
"Luke, I-" Rey began to say, but Luke silenced her with a wave of his hand.
"I know about the Force Bond, Rey. I just wished you would have spoken up. Ben- kylo is not a good man, not anymore, and he is very powerful on the dark side. He could have easily darkened your mind, or worse, seduced you into joining him. B-Kylo is a very strong force user, even more powerful than my father, Darth Vader.
But the Force works in mysterious ways, my padawan, and a bond is very rare. It would be wise to not fight the universe with this one, " he said shaking his head.
"You, Rey, are also very powerful. You have quickly learned to fight with a saber. Your battle meditation makes you formidable, even against me. I believe you are ready." Luke said, rocking back and forth.
"I was sent a vision before you came here, and now I know what must be done. This is your mission, Rey. You must go to Naboo. I need you to find my nephew, for he is very lost, both mentally and physically. And I need you to bring him back.
You are very much a jedi, Rey, and the light burns within you. There is still light left in Ben. I need you to coax it out of him." Luke said, looking out of the door of the hut from his sitting position.
Rey was dumbfounded. She looked up at the map.
"B-but me? Alone? To a planet I have never been on? To find a monster?" she questioned her Master.
"No, Rey, not a monster, just a very lost boy who listened to the wrong man at a very impressionable age, who was let down by his Master. I did not do enough to keep Ben light, or maybe I tried too hard. But I have failed him, either way. Go now, Rey," he told her, "Take the Millennium Falcon, take it and go to Naboo, before it is all too late. Don't stay in one place for too long, without a doubt the First Order will be looking for him."
Rey slowly stands, in awe at her Master's words. She opened her mouth to speak, but again, Luke waved his hand, silencing her.
"Do not question me, for the force has already sent me the Vision, and you must go through the with it. Go now. Go." Luke pushes Rey out the door.
She looks back at her Master, and runs full speed down the stone steps towards the Falcon.
