The Final Choice (A Reylo Fanfiction) [FINISHED]

Chapter Four

What?! Rey thought. What did he just say? Love? Did he say 'love'? How absurd! What has love got to do with getting Kylo Ren back? Why should love enter it to it at all? This was utterly ridiculous! What was her grandfather thinking about?! Was he this kind of romantic man, imagining those typical teen romance? She couldn't believe what he just said! Of course she cared about Ben, but she didn't love him! Was the great Obi-Wan Kenobi really crazy? She was confused, and the more she thought about it, the more anger filled her mind, until it took over. She briskly stood up, and walked away angrily. She was furious, and felt stupid: there she was thinking it was such an honor to meet her grandfather, and thinking he could give her answers! And now, he was acting like a stupid teenager!

Rey was muttering in her breath, mumbling things about how outrageous her father and grandfather had been acting, when she heard a voice behind her that made her jump.

"Rey?"

She turned around to see her father. She frowned and folded her arms across her chest.

"Really, Papa? That was--

"I know. But don't you think you kind of overreacted there? I know you were never educated on this kind of things, but you should have listened to your grandad who was giving you an answer. He didn't mean love in a... 'marriage way' if I may define it like that, but in a friendship way. There are many kind of love, I shall tell you one day. But now is not the question. You're too impulsive, Rey. Think before you act. It's important. But don't worry, I'm here now to teach you, and so is Luke Skywalker. We'll help you. Next time you see your grandfather, you should apologise and wait for what he has to tell you..."

Rey's emotions diminished, and she became calmer. She ducked her head and sighed.

"You're right, I'm sorry, Papa," she said looking at Onwa who grinned.

"Come on, let's go and see your master."

They spent a few days training, and Rey got to know Obi-Wan better. He gave her answers, and told her about Anakin, Luke and Leia. Rey was very interested, and a bond soon appeared between them. Three days of training, talking, learning... it was peaceful, and Rey could have quickly forget about Kylo Ren. But she couldn't stop thinking about him, and the desire to bring him back was consuming her. She wanted to go back, and talk him sense, but was it even possible? She believed in him. And she knew he was a tortured soul, and thinking that made her heart ache, and the urge to go back to him was getting more and more oppressing.

The third day, while Rey was checking the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca, they heard a loud scream. Rey ran up the hill to the small stone hut, to find her master scrambling to his feet, her father helping him to do so.

"What happened?" Rey asked alerted.

"I don't really know... we were talking when I felt this sudden rush of force, and Luke suddenly screamed his sister's name and collapsed on the floor. Help me get him to the hut."

Rey obeyed quickly and helped her father guide Luke to his small stone-house, and make him sit down by the fire. Luke had his head ducked. He finally looked up, and sighed.

"I heard her. She called me. She told me the Resistance was dying. The First Order are shooting them down. They have found a refuge in a small planet where there is an ancient base that used to be the Resistance's. But they are in danger: the First Order are following them, and they have enormous weapons to destroy them all. Leia nearly died a few days ago. They've destroyed their base ship. I feel useless. But--

"I'll go!" Rey interrupted, determined.

"This is way too dangerous, Rey, you can't go." Her father intervene.
