Rey's POV ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"No." I said.

"What?"

"No, I won't ever join the dark side, I won't be like you." I turned to go back to my AT-AT. I just walked away from him. I heard footsteps close behind me.

He grabbed my hand. I felt a weird pulse run through me. I stopped. I turned and pulled my hand from his. Kylo Ren stepped back from my and removed his mask.

That feeling. It was weird. Like nothing I've felt before.
"Why?" Kylo had the same questioning look on his face.

"It doesn't seem right."

"Did you...." I couldn't finish.

"Rey. You must come with me. I know it is truly what you want." He was persistent.

"You know nothing about me." I ignited my saber and stepped towards him.

"Really. " he said in a smug way as he held his lit saber.

"Yes." Our sabers started bouncing off each other. Lacking serious fighting. I pushed my saber into his.

"I know what you feel. Because I've felt it to." He's inside my head. I can't get in his. "He's gotten stronger . "

"Rey, stop trying to get into my head. It won't work."

"How do you know. I know what you feel... what you've felt."

"And what's that?"

We both stopped. I shut down my saber and sat down by the foot of my AT-AT.

"Alone. A young boy. Wanting his father's approval. Feeling forgotten by your parents. Then searching for approval from Luke. Lack of acceptance. Angry... then... and now..."

"That's all you know. Huh.. you know all that?" I could tell his anger was rising. Rising to a scary level.

He started pacing back and forth. Mumbling under his breathe. Kylo Ren took out his lightsaber and started slashing my AT-AT. I took hold of mine tightly not igniting it. He came at me. Our sabers hit again. His with more force. I back up. "Finn." I saw a ship circling around. The Falcon.

I turned away from Kylo Ren to make a quick escape from this planet. But as I did his saber hit my leg. Leaving a similar burn to the one I left on his face.

I continued to run to the best of my abilities. Finn flew down low with the ramp down. I jumped and rolled in leaving Ren and his anger behind me.

Finn's POV ~ ~ ~

I saw Rey jump into the ship. Chewy made a sound which I took as an excuse to go and meet her. I had planned to come down peacefully and deliver a message from the General. But all ended in a failed attempt.

Once I got down there Rey was struggling to get up. There was a burn running across her left leg. I ran to help her.

"Rey, why was Kylo Ren there?" I asked her.

"He wanted me to turn, to use my anger towards him." She answered.

"I see he failed." I said with a smile.

"That he did." She smiled back.

I walked her to a place where she could sit.

"Thank you Finn. How did you know I was in trouble?" She asked me.

" I wish is did. But I didn't. I was coming to get you."

"Get me? Who needs me?"

"General Organa. The base on Tattooine has been destroyed. She just needed you. She wanted me to take you to the new base on Endor.

"Why?" She asked as I started to tens her wounds.

" I don't know the whole story Rey I just know that she wants you."

Rey started to get up. "Rey, you need to sit. You need to rest."

"Finn, lightsaber burns heal fast. I'll be fine I've had many."

Rey's POV ~ ~ ~ ~

Finn looked at me with a concerned face. I smiled at him in reassurance and head to the front to fly to the new base.
