A Light and The Darkness (A Reylo Fanfic)

nineteen

I wake up to someone saying "Hello Kylo, I see you're doing well!" Who does that voice belong to? Someone I used to know, Phasma? I think as I roll over. It's still dark outside. Then I reach over to cuddle Rey. She's not there! She must be feeding the children, but her side of the bed is cold! I get up and pad to the children's room. No, she's not in there and neither are the children! "Rey?" I call. No answer! "Rey!" I call a bit louder, but still nothing! "Phasma, what did you do?" I ask, deadly calm flooding my voice. "That scavenger  and her children went back to where they came from and now I have you all to myself!" "NO! BRING MY WIFE AND THE BABIES BACK! THEY'LL NEVER SURVIVE JAKKU!" I yell. "Exactly!" She says, her voice cold and mechanical.  Rey? I say through our bond. Yes? She answers. I'm going to find you! My jealous ex girlfriend is sending you to jakku, but I promise, I will always find you! I tell her. Ok I love you Ben! Hurry! She says. I will, I love you too! I tell her. Now to tell mom and hop on the Bastila!

Some time later,
I'm on my ship on the way to find my wife and children. Finally the sensors pick up Jakku and I drop out of hyperspace and the yellow-orange planet comes into view. Sand, why does it always have to be sand? I hate sand! My whole family hates sand! My wife, uncle and grandfather all had to live on sand planets for a time in their life's and my children are certainly not going to live on a sand planet! As for Rey, I will make sure she never has to see sand again, let alone that  awful place! I think as I land the ship. Rey, are you here and are you ok? I'm on Jakku! I tell her. Yeah, but I won't be for much longer! I'm in my AT-AT and the kids are with me! The AT-AT is a mile to the north away from Niimma outpost. Hurry Ben! Is all she tells me. Ok, I'll be there soon! I love you! I tell her and take off to look for Niimma outpost.

It's dark now and I'm sure I'm almost to the AT-AT. I drive for about a minute longer and then I spot it! I land quickly, jump out and start running toward the downed vehicle. When I get to it I see the entrance and duck into it. I notice the smell first, and then I see how sparsely furnished it is, and it hits me that she really had nothing and I start thinking about how much I had but didn't appreciate and I start thinking if I hadn't taken that pilot, she would still be in this awful place and a tear slips down my cheek. "Ben?" I hear from a corner. "Rey!" I say, running towards her, lifting her over my head and spinning around then setting her on her feet and kissing her. "We need to leave,Phasma could be back any minute! The Bastila is outside!" I tell her, looking around frantically. "Ok, I'll grab jace you've got jia right?" She asks. "Of course! Now go!" I say and we grab them and bolt out the door and to the ship. And then, trouble hits. I hear the whirring of a ship and run faster. We reach the ramp and I tell her to stop then I give her jia and tell her to leave. "No! I'm not leaving without you!" She yells. "I'll be fine, but you need to take the children and leave!" I say and grab the provisions I packed for if this situation happened. She looks at me and starts biting her lip, she's trying to hold the tears back, that's what she always does when she's trying not to cry. "Now Rey!" I yell,then I hug and kiss her and I bolt away, running as fast as possible to get the ship to follow me. It works and I give a sigh of relief. She's safe, their safe! My family is safe from the first order, but will I ever see them again? Oh well, if their safety comes at the price of never seeing them again, I will still be happy.
