Darkness - (a Reylo fanfiction)

aura

REY POV

The anger gushed through me like nothing I've ever felt before. My lightsaber was piercing his clothes, the heat was starting to burn into his skin. Now was my chance. I would be the one to kill Kylo Ren, the monster who murdered Han Solo.

I held the handle of my lightsaber firmly in both my hand as I stood over his body. I pulled my hand up before sending them plummeting down towards his chest. Just as the lightsaber was about to penetrate his chest I felt the most heart wrenching crack travel through my body, freezing my actions. Looking down I see the terrified face of the man I've come to love, I see the single tear roll down his face, I see MY lightsaber just millimetres from his pale skin.

I powered off my lightsaber and threw it to the side. My knees gave way and I crumbled onto Ben's torso. I couldn't stop the tears as they came pouring from my eyes, my body slumped down onto Ben's chest as I lay there motionless. Ren sat up as I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into his chest.

"I'm sorry," I sobbed, "I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean anything I said. I'm sorry. I love you so much."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, "shhh, it's okay. I'm sorry too. I love you too Rey."

"I'm a monster. You should hate me." I sobbed out into his chest. How can he still love me after what I just did?! How can he still love me when I nearly plunged my lightsaber into his beating heart.

"Not all monsters do monstrous things." He told me as he held me close to his chest. We sat like this for a long time, comfortable in each other's arms. I love this man with all my heart. I don't know who or what I would be without him.

"Kylo, I don't know what I'd do without you-" I begin to tell him but he cut me off mid sentence.

"Please don't call me that anymore. I don't like the meaning behind it." He told me with such sadness and shame in his eyes. He looked down, feeling shameful for the things Kylo Ren did. I placed my hands on either side of his face and lent in for a passionate kiss.

"Ben. Ben Solo, I don't know what I would do without you," I let out, resting my forehead against his.

BEN'S POV

I held her so close to me, fearing that she'll get up and leave me.

"Kylo, I don't know what I'd do without you-" I cut her off mis sentence after hearing that name roll off her tongue.

"Please don't call me that anymore. I don't like the meaning behind it." I told her as I hung my head low, remembering what happen when this body possessed that name. This is it, this is when it'll sink into to her mind how much of a monster I was, this is when she'll leave me. But instead she placed her small, warm hands on either side of my face and lent in for a passionate kiss. I responded with just as much love.

"Ben. Ben Solo, I don't know what I would do without you," she let out, resting her forehead against mine. I don't deserve this beautiful angel. She's perfect and I'm the complete opposite.

I pulled my head away as she looked up to the sky. The sun trickled its way across her face and down her exposed neck. This woman isn't real, I thought to myself. Her eyes shut as she leant her head back, absorbing all the warmth she could get. Her full, pink lips parted slightly as a smile crept onto her face. This is how I like to see her. Happy, and enjoying the simple things.
