Rey's P.O.V.

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling above me. The room is chilly and dark. There is a small window near the ceiling in the bunker I'm staying in. I don't really know why I'm here, there's no use for me. I lift up the covers and swing my legs over the side of the bed and sit. I rub my face with my hands to wake my self up. I lay my hands next to me at my sides. I close my eyes and sigh. I feel someone touch the tip of my fingers and I jump. "Get out of my head." I get up from the bed and grab my lightsaber with the force. There's silence between us and the only thing I hear is the hum of my lightsaber pointing at him. He looks at it and then at me. "Rey, that's not gonna do anything, you've already tried to shoot me, remember?"

I put down my lightsaber. "I know, I was just hoping you would get the hint."

He laughs. "You know, I enjoy these little conversations we have together."

"I don't."

"Maybe they would be better if you were actually here, with me."

"No, you had your chance and it's over now. For once, I thought I could make someone come back." I look away from him and I make him disappear. I think of my parents and how they never came back either.

There's no hope for him. Ben Solo is truly gone. I had to learn that the hard way.

I set my lightsaber on my nightstand and walk out of my bunker. Resistance fighters are running around, being busy as always. I walk down the hallway where all the bunkers are. Some fighters are just starting to wake up. I get to the main control panel where all the stuff happens and where all the important people are. Screens are lit up everywhere. So much is going on, I don't know where to look. In the back of the big room I see Poe talking to Finn with a very concerned look. I hope everything is okay, if something was wrong, Poe would be the first one to know since Leia retired and went to another planet, so now Poe is the General. I walk over to them to see what's wrong.

"Do you think it could be them? Is that even possible?" Finn asks Poe.

"If what's possible?" I ask them hoping that they'll tell me whatever they're hiding. Poe and Finn look at each other simultaneously and look back at me. "We need to go some where more private." Poe says. Poe starts walking out of the main control room and towards the hallway with the bunkers. He opens the first door that we pass. We all go in and he shuts and locks the door. I look at the bed and see blue prints of a X-wing, but it looks new. I now know this is Poe's room, he must be building or brainstorming an idea for a new spacecraft. I look back at Poe. "What's wrong, why are you acting like something horrible has happened?" I ask.

Poe looks at Finn and he nods. "Because something has."

"What?"

"Somebody hacked us."

"What? Who?"

"We don't know yet, we're trying to find out."

"Could it be the First Order?"

"No, it's not likely. They're too far away."

"Why would anyone do this?"

"I don't know, maybe to find our location?"

"This doesn't make any sense. We need to tell the others."

"No, Rey. People might panic. I'll tell them when we have more information."

"What are we gonna do until then?"

"I don't know, but we need to find out who is doing this and fast."

I nod. "If I sense anything or anyone who is doing this, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"Thanks, Rey."
