"Again." Luke says to me as I lay on the ground breathing heavily.
I get up and do it again. I lift my arm up and try to lift the stones around me, but they all fall down one by one. I shake my head. "I don't think I can do this today." I say.

"And I don't think you're ready today, but you know how you will get better? If you practice."

I sigh and lift my hand up again. The stones start to move up. I almost reach my goal when I hear this sound coming from the sky. All of the sudden me and Luke see a TIE fighter come crashing down and hit the surface of the island, almost missong it. The stones fall from my hold on them. I stare at the fighter until I see someone get out of it. That someone is Kylo Ren.

"Wha- what is doing here?" I ask Luke.

"I don't know. Stay here."

I do what he says and watch him as he goes to Kylo. When he finally geta to him, Kylo does nothing. They talk for a minute and then Luke starts walking in my direction with Kylo following him. Kylo looks at me and we lock eyes. I can tell he's angry at me.

Finally Luke and Kylo make it back to me. I look at Luke hoping to get an explanation. "He's gonna stay here until he gets his ship working again."

"Really? Him? Stay here? How do we know he won't kill us."

"We could kill him just as easily."

I look at Kylo, more specifically, his scar. "True." I say with a smerk.

"Good, he will stay in your hut."

"What?! My hut? Why mine? There are millions of huts on this island. He should get the one farthest from me. Not be in the same one."

"Rey. I won't tell you again. You will share your hut with him."

I sigh. I turn away and go to my hut. I can feel Kylo follow me. We get to my hut and walk in. I grab some blankets and lay them out far away as I can from my bed. "You'll be sleeping on the floor, away from me."

"You act like I wanna sleep with you."

I glare at him. "I'd rather turn."

"That can be arranged."

I stay silent. I walk over to a table where I have hair bands. I put my hair up in three buns like I usually do.

"Out of all the places, I had to crash here." He says to himself quietly.

I turn towards him. "You think I want you here?"

"What?"

"I heard you say that."

"I didn't say anything."

"Yes, you did."

"No, I didn't."

"Whatever, I'm going back to Luke. Don't touch anything."

I train with Luke for an hour till Kylo sits on a rock and watches me and Luke. The stones are above me. Then they fall. I hear Kylo chuckle. "You got a problem?"

"Yeah, you."

"Really? I'm the problem?"

"Rey!" Luke says to get my attention. I lift up the stones again. I close my eyes. I concentrate more this time. I feel a presence intervene. It's not Luke's. It's Kylo's. He helps me lift up the rocks to my goal. All the rocks land on the ground carefully where they should be. I open my eyes and look at Ren. He  stares at me.

"Very good," Luke says and I get pulled back into reality, "I think we can stop here. We'll start something new tomorrow."

Luke walks away, leaving me and Kylo alone. I can feel him still staring at me. I walk away to my hut, still confused as what just happened. Did he just help me? It felt like he was guiding me.
