After the attack against the rebel forces, Kylo Ren had stopped meddling in the affairs of others. He had been neglecting his duty as the new supreme leader and was constantly alone. For the past few days he had only been able to think of one thing...
Rey p.o.v -------------- "Ben?" I hear my voice crack as I try to process what I see in front of me. I look into his eyes that are being held behind the glass, and I see it again. I see that look in his eyes. I can't explain it. While I'm still in shock, he speaks up. "I thought that our mind force was gone. How are we seeing each other? I can see your environment now. It's not just you anymore........Rey?" I feel a single tear slide down my cheek. I don't know why I'm crying, or why I'm seeing him now. I asked for answers, and I got him. But why? I fall to the ground on my knees and cover my face. I don't understand.
"Rey what's wrong?" I hear him step forward and bang on the glass wall. Then my hearing slowly fades away. I can't think, I can't breathe. I can't do anything. "REY!" I can hear him yell, aggressively, loudly, but nothing else. Just silence. And then, I didn't feel anything.
Warmth. I feel warmth. My eyes slowly flutter open, and I see him above me, more clearly now, more real. Wait. I look around us and see glass scattered all across the cold hard ground. As my mind starts putting the pieces together I open my mouth to speak. "Don't talk. You're alright. You're safe." He looks down at me with such a strange look in his eyes. Comfort. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. "But how...how are you here?" I reach out in front of me and try to touch his face, but before I could I drew my hand back, the heat on his face was radiating, and my thoughts were confirmed. "You're really here. But how? I don't understand. I asked for answers and you appeared."
Ben's p.o.v ---------------- My mind became my enemy as I saw my hand next to hers; not being able to grasp it; it killed me. "Are you hurt?" She quickly replies as she looks into my eyes. "No, are you?" I feel my throat tighten as she talks to me. "I'm fine."
She looks at my whole body, scanning me up and down, thinking. "How are you here?" I think for a moment, wondering if I should tell her. "I broke the glass." I clench my fists waiting for her response. "How?" She looked at me with so much curiosity; so many questions rolling in the back of her mind. "I.....don't know. I just walked through it. And I was here, with you." I see tears fall down her face again, and I'm frozen.
Suddenly, instinct kicks in, my body stops listening to me, and I hug her. As soon as I wrap my arms around her waist, she clings to me, and wraps her arms around my neck. I feel my body stiffen at her touch, and I can no longer think. She continues to cry in the crook of my neck, and my mind races at 100 miles an hour. This shouldn't be happening. I'm supposed to kill her.
Rey's p.o.v ---------------- I feel like I've been crying forever, and I don't even know why. A thought has been lingering in the back of my head, but I refuse to believe it. Its just not possible. Suddenly I decide to pull away from him and wipe my tears. "I'm sorry. I don't even know why your helping me. We are enemies after all." I look up at him and look him in the eyes. "Thank you Ben."
I see his breath catch in his throat and I feel confused. Does he regret helping me? "Are you alright?" He looks at me and suddenly reaches out his hand. "I want to show you something. Will you come with me Rey?"
