Force Bond

Chapter 1

As we boarded the melenium falcon, I ushered everyone on board as quickly as possible. We had escaped the First Order successfully! It felt great to be reunited with everyone, especially Finn.

I raised my hand to close the door, but everything fell silent and my eyes fell upon a familiar pair. It was Kylo Ren. He was kneeling on the floor looking up at me, although it wasn't outside the Falcon it was inside the base. It was yet another force bond. There was something about his facial expression that told me it wasn't Kylo Ren, it was Ben Solo. His eyes were a soft, warm brown that held the look of a scared boy.

He's fooling with you, Rey, I told myself. Don't fall for it. Don't let your personal feelings get in the way of your duty. Wait, personal feelings? I had personal feelings toward him? I said that to myself without even realising it. Maybe he really was messing with my head. Let it go, Rey. You tried converting him to the light but you failed. Let it go.

I looked down at the floor, giving away all my feelings and frustrations. I hit the button to close the doors. We didn't even break eye contact until the doors were completely shut.

As I ran around the corner and crouched down, listening for any movement, I gripped my weapon in my hands tightly. Scuffle, scuffle... Having force sensitive ears was handy, I could hear my enemies from very far away. Scuffle, scuffle, scuffle... it was getting closer and closer.

3, 2... 1. I jumped out from behind the wall and fired at my enemy, yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs. They fell to the floor with a loud thud and shielded their face although it were in a helmet.

"Okay, okay! You can stop tasing me now!"

My partner came up beside me and nudged me in the ribs. "Good going, Rey," Poe said. "We've got our enemy bowing down at us. What should we do with 'em?"

I though about that for a moment. "Hm... I think we should shoot him again!" I laughed and started tasing and poking him with my weapon at an unnecessary high voltage.

"No, stop, right now!" our enemy yelled.

I tasered him once more. Zing. "Rey, stop! It hurts!"

He got up, took his green helmet off and glared at me. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I clutched my stomach and bellowed a loud laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny Rey. Wait 'til I get you next time, I won't forget this!"

I wiped the tears away from my eyes and replied, "I'm sorry Finn, but I always win, when are you going to learn to join my team?"

He scoffed. "I'm just waiting for that right moment when I do beat you and I can shove it in your face and have bragging rights for the rest of my life," Finn said.

"Well," I laughed, "If you ever do win, you can do whatever you like!" I put my hand out and he shook mine in an over-animated matter.

"Okay, guys, quit fooling around now," Poe interjected. "That's our training with the tasers done for today. We've had a big day and need to get some rest if we want to complete our training."

"What training?" Finn sighed.

"Training with the tasersabers. They're a new and high tech weapon that the First Order have no idea exist," Poe stated. "They're very complicated and have lots of different settings and abilites, so we need to complete our training with them! If we want to win against the First Order if we get attacked, we have to make sure we know what we're doing with them! Have you not listened to a single thing either I, or Leia have said to you?"
