III

I decided to try something a little knew! Hope you like it!!

-:-

There once was a girl who lived on Kesh--A lonely planet in the outer rim that was even more of a wasteland than Jakku. Her name was Alexander Caden. Everyday she experienced obstacles that taught her strength and weakness.

Her father was a young man who was stuck with a daughter that he never wanted. He blamed Alex for his wife's abandonment. The blame was painful. Words and fists were thrown at her. But no one cared about the horrors Alex went through because on Kesh slave labor and child trafficking were prominent no matter who you were.

"You're lucky I haven't thrown you into the brothels yet, you sniveling bitch!"

Her father would yell at her and her cries went unheard. Her voice would be lost physically until she finally realized it was never there in the first place.

One year, on Alex's fourteenth birthday, her father had finally got her a birthday present: he had sold her to the First Order.

No matter how much she retaliated and cried that it would be the end of her, her father saw the opportunity for a life without pain and took it.

Once she joined the First Order, Alex realized what a swine her father was when she met Supreme Leader Snoke. He saw the potential she had and only he saw that her experience was what would make her the best next generation of force users.

Not long after Alex met Snoke, she met Kylo Ren. He was an arrogant boy with vengeance and hatred. But she saw him for who he was:

A lost and troubled child.

Snoke made his favor for Alex known. At first, Kylo envied Alex, but the two eventually became close--quicker than Supreme Leader Snoke had wished.

He saw what this friendship would entail--his end.

Immediately after realizing the dire situation that needed to be fixed, Snoke started forcing his two apprentices to duel. No matter how much the two hated it, Snoke insisted the dueling would help them advance in their walk to the Dark Side.

Every time they fought, Alex prevailed. Kylo was left with a few bruises and a light saber resting close to his neck. Snoke fawned over the girl every time and scolded Kylo for being a fool.

But their friendship continued. In fact, it grew stronger than before.

Slowly, Snoke's options were running short. As his last option was clear, he called for Ren one night. And that fateful night was when Kylo Ren found out about Alex's past.

Filled with rage, Kylo stormed off to end a man's life.

As much as Alex despised her father, he was the only family she had left. She left as quickly as she could and landed on Kesh. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she saw Kylo's ship near the village she was raised in. She ran into the village as fast as she could. But she was too late. Her eyes land on Kylo as her feet skid to a stop. The boy stands over a body as it lies in a tent. Alex screams out in agony. She falls to her knees as Kylo whips around to her. Instantly, he runs to her side and pulls her into his arms.

"You're safe now! He'll never hurt you again. I will protect you, Alex. You don't have to worry anymore."

The girl scrambles away from the boy. She rushes to her father's side and pulls him into her arms. She apologizes over and over again. Her tears stain her father's singed robes.

Kylo watches from afar. Confusion and anger over coming him. He wonders why she ran back to her father after everything her father did. Kylo's frustration causes him to leave Alex on Kesh alone. After hours, she finally buries her father's body next to the house she grew up in. Her tears drench the sand as she takes a moment in remembrance of her father before returning to her ship. She takes her time getting back to the base. Kylo Ren waits for her there, but he has lost all of her trust.

Snoke continues to make them duel. Several times, Alex has thought about killing Ren, instead of letting him lose over and over again. But she stops herself because she knows it will only drag her down to his level.

She didn't want to be apart of the Dark Side anymore.

After another year of fighting, Snoke has begun to realize that Alex has grown far beyond her own comprehension. He fears that she will overcome him.

"She is growing far beyond my expectations, Master of the Knights of Ren..."

"What will you have me do, Supreme Leader?"

"A great task that will bring you exponential growth in your walk to the Dark Side..."

"What is it?" Kylo asks through gritted teeth.

"End her..."

Kylo walks unevenly towards Alex's chambers. His light saber crackles in the dark. Alex is fast asleep. He hesitates before tears pool in his eyes. Kylo raises his saber above his head. But what he hadn't noticed was Alex grabbing her own. When the moment passes, he finally throws his saber at her. Alex quickly turns hers on and stops it midway. The look of betrayal in her eyes causes Ren to regret everything. They duel in Alex's chambers. Shortly after they had started, Ren tries to stop her and explain what was going on. But Alex took the opportunity and escaped out of the First Order base.

Alex left Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order for good. But her life only went down hill from there.

She got caught in scavenging groups, dealing with contraband and the most ruthless of people.

After she had turned 16, Alex met Leia. Alex had tried to steal from Leia, but immediately the Force connected them in the moment, letting Alex see into Leia's future and Leia into hers.

Then on, Alex worked for the Resistance. Standing against the First Order like she should have in the beginning.

Backstory!! Yay!
This is really just to open up on why Alex hates Kylo. Also, it has brought a few questions to my mind...

Does Kylo like Alex?

Does the Supreme Leader still want to bring Alex back to the Dark Side?

Will Alex and Kylo ever meet again?

What will Poe think of all this?

Anyways, sorry about not having any sort of Poe in this chapter, but I just wanted to clarify this whole shindig.
