In Battle With Time (Reylo Fanfiction) Sequel To Trust The Stars #TheWattys2016

The location

Ben's POV:

Every each day I feel like I am approaching closer to finding a clue to her whereabouts, but this information that I receive, just discourages me even more. I am growing anxious, I just want to hold her in my arms and say that everything will be fine and I won't let any harm come near her small body.

But she is not here, not with me and her mother. She is alone somewhere with whatever happening to her, and I can't react, I feel weak, defeated. I can survive all kinds of tortures and threats, but this is the worst. It hurts more than any physical pain or suffering.

Flashbacks of her giggling in the garden while picking lilies and putting them in her fluffy hair encircled my mind. She was happy, jumping in the fields and running to catch the butterflies that circled around her in an enchanting ring. The stories she wanted to hear so much about, the fantasies she believed in, it all seems so far away. Like it was a century ago.

I turned to go away, tears treating to spill once again from my eyes. I don't care if someone sees me like this, I don't care if I show my frailty anymore. All of the events that took place, destroyed not only us from inside, but our communications too.

Rey and I are not the same. We don't cuddle or exchange loving glares to each other. We don't speak about anything else but if we found any sign of her. Rey went with Finn to search for her, around the galaxy. She took the Millennium Falcon and flew away, yesterday. That is another glimmer of hope that maybe she will find them in some village or city.

My work is here, if I want a change I must react fast. I need to talk to someone, this is already taking too long and I am sick of it. I must fix my life and bring it back to its former state. I marched through the dim halls and passed three rows of stares, till I reached the spot I wanted. The door is slightly open, just enough to sneak inside, unnoticeably. I walked inside, my eyes seeking for her.

She is standing in front of the window, her back turned to me. She is watching the land outside, probably thinking. Her arms are resting on both sides of her features, her frame straight. There are papers scattered across her working desk, but other than that everything else seems to be in place.

"I knew you would come." She didn't bother to face me, her eyes still looking at the same spot outside.

"I need to talk to you." I said and closed the door behind me. "About Dorothylla."

"What about her? Are there any news, did you find her, did Rey?" She swallowed, her voice strange, distressed.

"No, there is still nothing." I blinked, I don't want to think about that now. "Mother I feel like...like there is something that you are not telling us. You didn't show for four days, not even for breakfast, you refuse to speak to our stuff, you don't try to help us in any way possible, it is like...like you...gave up on them." I tried to contain my voice steady.

"No, no Ben is not like that." She turned, she looks depressed, like she hadn't slept for days. Purple bags hanging under her tired eyes. Her voice is warm and comforting, but still a sparkle of sorrow is radiating from it.

"Than what is it mom? Come down with me, let us figure out this together? Don't leave us. I fell like everyone in the family is separating from each other, everyone is working on its own, and that is our biggest mistake. We must stay strong, together. That is the only way we can locate them." I pleaded, reaching towards her.

"Ben, if only it was that simple. There is something you must know son...something dark, but please convince me that you won't be reckless, you won't act ahead of your mind." She begged, her dark eyes scanning the floor beneath us. She clutched her palms on both of my shoulders, like she is trying to stand stably.

"Yes, I swear that I won't be reckless, just tell me mother, please."

"I think I know where she is. I believe she is fine, but Luke...maybe he is not. They are on a planet far away from here. In the hands of her grandfather. "

"What?!" I shouted. "My father is dead, unless you mean..."

"Yes, Rey's father. The king of Amerath."

Hi guys, what are you doing?

The planet name is totally made up.( I hope you like it through...)

So Ben knows now, what do you think will be Rey's reaction when she finds out? What will happen next?

The next update will be in few days, until then!
