Lost - A Reylo Fanfiction

Chapter 5

Rey POV

The breeze is cool against my skin and brings a smile to my face. It's cooler here than anywhere I've been and after a life of desert, I'm grateful for it. The sun is a deep orange, slowly descending into the horizon, bringing the day away with it. 

Cheery music plays from a distant and the wind carries laughter to my ears with it. Everyone's celebrating and for once I feel like I am somebody. Like I'm not just an abandoned nobody. I decide to take one last look at the sunset before heading back to the rest, but before I can turn around to start walking back, a hand is placed on my shoulder. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Poe says, and my heart flutters as I realise who it is. I'm suddenly too afraid to speak so I just nod, a red blush creeping up across my face.

"You should start heading back to the party. It is for you anyways," he continues.

"I was just about to when you decided to come out here and scare me," I state cheekily.

"Scare you? I thought you were brave, scavenger," Poe smirks as he says that. I have to stop myself from slapping that smirk off his face.

"Scavenger?" I question, "I thought I'd be past that rank by now,"

Someone shouts for Poe and before he runs back he grabs my arm, turns me around and whispers in my ear, "That's too bad then, because I'm starting to like scavengers." With that, he was gone, leaving me, once again, in utter confusion. Poe was every girls heart throb but I can't risk the distraction. I need to get Ben back and I'll wait for him. No matter how stubborn he gets.

Explosions, fire, lasers, dust and blood. The whole place is suddenly in chaos as ships swoop down from above and start shooting at any object the find. Homes, people, animals and our own ships. There's shouting and chaos and everyone's panicked. Even those who were swaying on their feet moments ago seemed to have sobered up at the first sight of First Order Tie Fighters. Kylo's done it. He actually came to attack. 

I run to the ships and see whats left of them. The First Order hasn't sent down any ground troops. This means they don't intend on carrying any extra baggage with them. Yet. I run into the Falcon and run to the cockpit. Chewie is already there and growls at me to shoot them whilst he pilots so I run down to the blasters. I hear and feel the buzz of the ship and then suddenly all I see is fire an dust. I feel an excruciating pain on my right leg. I turn to try and pry my leg out of the rubble its stuck under and then crawl away. I reach for my lightsaber and turn it on, using it to help prop myself up but I fall almost immediately, only to be caught by the gloved hand of a Supreme Leader. Then, it all goes black.
