Different Paths (Reylo ff) //Finished

Kylo

I saw Rey running over to one of the dead bodies. I was wondering who that could be. Poe and FN-2187 had been captured. Who else was there she could care so much about?

She seemed to have not realised me, so I came closer, as I realised which body she was spilling so many tears on: my mother. My first feelings were sadness, but to let go of the past. She had been the one who had sent me away without telling me what was going on. Then I felt hate and suffering. Which turned back again into pure love for Leia. I couldn't change it now.

Split up. Torn apart. Feeling less powerful. This couldn't go on for much longer, I realised. I had to decide sooner or later.

It's already happened, I told myself, you have already made a decision. Maybe the wrong decision? I forced myself back to thinking about the task. I couldn't disappoint Snoke now. It would be the ultimate challenge, I'd do it, turn fully to the dark side. With a sidekick. And no more conflict inside of me. A wonderful feeling, which I could only feel if I concentrated now!

Rey was crying so hard, that I could easily get into her mind without her noticing - at least I thought so. For some reason there was a block in her mind which stopped me from getting further into her head. Why was she becoming so strong? She didn't even have a teacher! And did she know? Yes, indeed I felt that I was loosing power, but could I loose my power just because Rey was gaining more?

I realised she would carry my mother away if I didn't act soon, so I quietly walked up to her...

My breathing seemed to have shocked Rey, because she fell onto her back. I felt her pain within me, even though I didn't want to: I was loosing my power to resist to those sort of things. So I moved my head into her view.

Reys shocked face wasn't surprising for me, but I kept a straight expression. I didn't want her to see any of my emotions. She tried to turn away, but I placed my hand in her way.

"Get away!" Rey hissed.
"Aah", I said in a calm voice, "hatred. Suffering. Pain. You want it, don't you? The dark side, I feel it within you."
"Stop being so damn calm. This is not funny! This is YOUR mother! You should care about her! Besides, YOU are the one who wants the LIGHT side, don't you?"
"All of what you are doing and saying is leading you to the dark side. Don't you want to be free of this pain? Just come over with me right now at it'll all be over!"
"Never! I am to choose my own path, and I already have!"
"Without a proper teacher you are never going to become a proper Jedi! I could teach you !" I paused and thought. Then I continued: "Snoke could teach you !"
"You are a monster. And Snoke is not to be described. I'd rather die than come with you! Besides, Snoke is dead! And what were you saying? Snoke could teach me too? He manipulates you! Abuses you! Uses you! YOU are the one who wants to teach me. You don't even want Snoke to teach me. Because you know he abuses you, but you don't want to face the truth!"
"Oh yes?" I ignited my lightsaber and moved it extremely close to her face. "We'll see."
