The Unforeseen

Chapter Eight: At it Again

Rey's POV ~~~~

It's been about four weeks since my last battle with Kylo Ren. My leg and other injuries are healed. Today I decided to start training again. Finn still hasn't talked to me. But he still hasn't gone a day without watching my back.

"You ready?" Luke asked me.
"I've been ready..." I answered.

"I want to work on your fighting skills." He said as he handed me his old lightsaber. My trusty friend. The only saber I have ever used.
I followed Luke to our usual training location. He ignited his lightsaber and gestured that I do the same. The sabers clashed. The fight to overpower each other began. Luke of course started out going easy on me, until he realized that I was beginning to use more strength. We shifted around the area taking more swings at each other. "Good!" He said to me. I made a move he didn't comprehend. His saber fell from his hand. He looked at me. He looked in puzzlement at his lightsaber.

"Impressive Rey." He looked at me then beyond me at out audience... Finn... "Finn, come here." Finn looked shocked. He seemed reluctant but he still came over.

"Why me?" He asked Luke.

"Because your here, and, you seem like you need some releasing to do."

"Okay..." Finn readied himself. I did the same. Finn struck first. He is good. Really good. He caught me off guard a couple of times, but nothing I couldn't recover from. After about five minutes of fighting Finn, he just stepped back and stopped. I stopped and looked at him. His saber shut off. I shut off my saber and turned to Luke, who was was coming over.

"Finn you have great potential. We'll have to work on that. Rey, good job!" He looked at me and could tell I wasn't paying attention. Luke just took his saber and walked off.

"Why haven't you been talking to me?" I asked Finn.

"Why...?" He looked at me, "why must you see the good in him?"

"I can't help what I feel, Finn. Do you really want me to just loose all hope in him and his journey back to who he is supposed to be?"

"I never said loose hope!"

"But you did Finn, looking hope and just wanting to kill him is not what I need to do." I can't believe him.

"He has done terrible things Rey! He killed our friend, his own father!"

"It doesn't mean that I must kill him to get revenge. It's not what Han would do. "

"No, he wouldn't do that Rey. But I don't want you siding with him. That Monster!"

"I'm not siding with him! I just believe that he can still change, see the light! What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing but..."

"But.. Nothing. There is nothing wrong with it."

"We should be finding a way to stop him" Finn seemed pretty unchangeable.

"We should be finding a way to stop the first order. Ren is just as slave to Snoke. We must free him not stop him!"

"Fine! Think what you may... I'm done!"

Finn walked away. He left me feeling torn and hurt.
