Star Wars: Son of Skywalker | Book II: The Last Jedi

Chapter XV: The Dark Hole

Rey walks towards her hut, frustrated after what happened with Luke and the Care Takers, thinking about how different he was from the legends that she was told about. She then starts wondering what that hole in her vision was, she could feel the temptation getting the best of her, suddenly she then starts sensing the connection again.

"I'd rather not do this now." She said.

"Yeah me too." Said Kylo's voice.

"Why did you hate your Father?" Rey asked, as she turns to see him near her, and wasn't wearing a shirt. His abs were covered by his pants, and figuratively speaking, he looked shredded. "Do you have something, a cowl you can put on?" Rey asked, trying to shield herself from the shirtless Dark Sider. "Why did you hate your Father? Give me an honest answer!" Yelled Rey. "He loved you! He gave a damn about you!"

"I didn't hate him." Said Kylo.

"Then why?" Rey asked.

"Why what?" He asked, as Rey's eyes were then covered in tears. "Why what? Say it."

"...why did you kill him?" Rey asked. "I don't understand."

"No." Said Kylo, beginning to look into her memories. "Your parents threw you away like garbage."

"They didn't!" Said Rey, out of sadness and anger.

"They did." Kylo taunted, causing him to think about the neglect from his parents as a kid, thinking that all they care about was the war. "You can't stop needing them, it's your greatest weakness. You looked at that, in Han Solo, and now it's the Skywalkers." He said. "Did he tell you what happened that night?"

"Yes." Rey answered.

"No." Kylo replied. "He sensed my power, as he senses yours...and he feared it...so he tried to kill me." Said Kylo.

"...liar." Rey whispered in sadness, angered that he'd say such a thing.

"Let the past die." Said Kylo. "Kill it, if you have too...that's the only way to become who you we're meant to be." Said Kylo, as he disappears, away from the island, as Rey walked away from the huts, and began her journey toward the hole, walking across the island mountain as the waves of the ocean crash to the ground. She then sees it over the edge, as she jumps from it and looks at the hole, exactly described from her vision. Rey then bends down, trying to see how deep it was, but couldn't see anything, it was dark on the way down. She tries to get a closer look, but was then pulled down as she falls through the hole, and into the water. She swam up from the ocean, as she found herself in a cave like interior. She sees the edge of the ground as she pulls herself up from the water. And sees a reflective wall on the structure. Her wet hair dripped as her buns were now undone, letting her hair down. She walks toward it as she sees her reflection. She places her hand on the wall, sensing through it, but just as her hand touches the wall, she was no longer in front of the wall, she was now behind...herself. Which was behind another Rey, and it goes on. What was in front of her turns back as she turns back, as she sees a never ending row of her turning back. They all then raise their hand, flip it backwards, and flips it back to the other side, as she sees them all doing the exact same thing, but one at a time. She then snaps her fingers, as the sound echoed across the row. She snaps her fingers again as it does the same thing again.

"Rey?" Said a a familiar voice, as Rey then found herself at the very front of the line, there was a never ending row of Reys behind her as she walks toward the wall in front of her, as the never ending row started following her. She then places her hand on the mirror, where dark mist covered the other side.

"Let me see them." She said as her voice echoed from behind her. "My parents, please." She said, as two silhouettes started walking from the mist, as they walk towards her. The silhouettes of her parents then combine into one person, as it then fades away, and it shows nothing but Rey's reflection, as she found herself back in the cave. She falls on her knees, as she never found the answers she was looking for.
