Star Wars~ The Last Jedi Fanfiction! Reylo!

Torture To The Mind

Ben Solo's POV

They want me to destroy a planet filled with people that did not deserve it. I know Jakku isn't the nicest of planets, but still, there is good within it. They are forcing me to give my handprint to the machine, so it has my authorization to shoot the new Super Mega Destroyer X at Jakku. Rey is from Jakku, she was raised by abusive parents on it, that's a good reason to destroy it. I don't even know if her parents are still there though, and thousands of people will lose there lives if I shoot. I don't want too, I can't, but the pressure is hard. Captian Phasma has a blaster to my head. If I don't give my handprint they will most definitely kill me, use my dead hand to activate the weapon, and then kill the planet. If I do it myself, I won't die, but the grief inside of me might kill me. 

Captian Phasma pushes my head forward with the blaster, "Put your hand on the computer or you will die, supreme leader,"

In a moment of bad planning and haste, I try to hit the destroy weapon button. Instead, Phasma moves my hand over the slightest bit, and my hand is now placed on the computer. My handprint starts the system and I quickly take my hand away, flinching. The window in front of me shows the cannon shooting the death ray. In one quick second, the entire planet has been decimated, and along with all of its inhabitants. 

"Take the supreme leader back to his cell, oops, I mean his bedroom," Captian Phasma says.

Two large stormtroopers grab my back, forcing me to walk down the hall, and away from all I have done. I am too shocked at my own ignorance to use the force to get them off of me or use my lightsaber at all.

I have killed entire planets before, but this one kills me the most. It may be because I have a personal connection to it, or maybe that the light inside of me knows that's wrong to blow up planets. Ethier way, the second they lock me in my room, I sit down on my bed and start to cry.

Rey's POV

They have locked me in my little cell they call a room. They do it because they no longer trust me anymore, they won't give me another chance. Maybe it's because they know how powerful I am and don't want me to completely destroy them, or maybe for some other crazy reason. Every time someone asks me why I ran away, I tell them the same story. Only Leia believes me because she was there when her son sent her that video, she knows I am telling the truth. Still, she locks me up here because she needs some time to think. 

My mind keeps wandering back to the time I spent with Ben while on that truce. He comforted me while I was crying, he hugged me and helped me to feel calm. He helped me to turn my staff into a staffsaber, which was very kind of him. While he was helping me create it, he often put his hands on mine to show exactly how to do a step. He even blushed slightly......it was very odd. And when we ran outside in the rain, those two minutes we had together, the almost kiss we had. It was magical, though I am pretty sure we didn't actually kiss. 

Then I hear crying coming from somewhere. I stand up immediately and look around. I see Ben, sobbing, in a dark small room. I walk over to him, confident I could help whatever ails him. He hears me walking towards him, tears in his eyes, he looks up at me.

"Rey...." He says, voice choked and strained.

"Ben, what happened? What's wrong?" I ask, sitting down next to him.

"I'm a monster......." He chokes out, crying loudly.

I put my arm around him, pulling him closer to me, "No you're not. At least not too me, not anymore,"

(Okay the image is not exactly how I described it but I just wanted to put a bit of a visual for all of you! Also lol, in this Ben looks like Tarzan from Disney XD)

"No......you don't get it," He cries, shaking his head, "They just made me blow up Jakku,"

"How did they make you blow up a planet?" I ask, absentmindedly running my hand through his soft silky hair.

"The-they needed my handprint to run the new device they made because my handprint overruled everything else in the system, so they forced me to place my hand on the device and fire it," He chokes out, breaking out into another round of sobbing.

I hug him tightly, and to my surprise, he hugs back. He sobs into my shirt, but I don't give it much thought. I caress his back, trying to get him to calm down like he did for me. After a few minutes of me gently caressing his back and him crying into my shoulder, he pulls away from the hug. He looks me in my eyes, while I look into his soft chocolatey brown eyes.

"I have just now made my decision on which side to join," He says softly.

I smile slightly, hopefully knowing his answer, "What side do you choose?"

"The light," He says, tears running down his cheeks, "But what if they don't let me join? What if they don't accept me? What if they think I am trying to fool them?"

He starts to cry again, so I hug him tightly against me, "They have me locked up for disrespecting their rules, and being a tad bit too powerful, but I bet if you had a nice long heart to heart with your mother, she would let you join,"

"Rey, I'm so scared," He cries, "What if they don't respect and accept me?"

"It's okay, I'll always be here for you," I say and lightly kiss the top of his head.
