Rey POV

She was swimming again but this time she was completely safe. She could feel the force around her healing each of her wounds. All of her pain washed away, and she felt herself finally at peace. Was this what death was, if so it was the most amazing feeling. Rey opened her eyes and glanced around. She was surrounded by nothing, just silver light.

"Rey, welcome to the gray" a voice whispered to her.

"Where am I" Rey questioned the voice, "Am I dead"

"No child you are far from dead, you are reborn"

"I don't understand"

Suddenly before her, someone shimmered into existence. It was a man, he had golden brown waves framing his face. His eyes were a pale green but intense. She recognized that same intenseness in Bens eyes. He also had a scar, it ran from just above his eyebrow to below his right eye. He had a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"I am Anakin Skywalker" He looked at her, she gasped as she took in the great Anakin Skywalker, he had once been the most feared man in the galaxy, the man Ben so desperately clung too. The man before her wasn't anything like what she had imagined.

"Master Anakin" Rey bowed her head to him. She wasn't sure why she had called him master but it felt right. "What is this place, this gray?"

"This, is the balance between the Light and the Dark. It is the meeting of the two sides in complete equality. Those who walk this path are of both light and dark, good and evil, love and hate. Everything has a true opposite that brings balance to itself. Darkness is balanced by light. Cold is balanced by warmth. Hatred is balanced by love. And you my child, are balanced by Ben." He spoke carefully pausing so Rey could absorb this information.

"I..... I don't quite understand I was training to be a Jedi master Luke never mentioned this Gray"

"My son did not quite understand the meaning of being Gray. I myself didn't understand it until just before I passed. A force user who has the ability to embrace the light as well as the dark is known as a Gray Jedi, they are not loyal to either the Sith or the Jedi. They are in their own right their own entity. You and Ben are the first pair of Gray Jedi to born of the force itself. Your bond to one another is one of the most powerful Force bonds ever created because it is tethered by love. The two of you are of one soul."

Rey stared at Anakin, she knew in her heart exactly what he spoke of, as if she had known it truly all along. But doubt crept into her mind at the thought of the bond. Hadn't Snoke created the bond.

"But Snoke, he created the bond, didn't he?"

"Snoke knew what you and Ben are, he manipulated you and Ben into believing he was the cause when in fact he had nothing to do with it. He thought that by destroying one of you he could control the other and have the ultimate power. Neither can survive without the other. It is why you and Ben are so drawn to each other, you need each other.

Rey felt a presence and then Ben was there beside her.

"Rey" he gasped and reached to embrace her, but his hand slid right through her. He looked at her in confusion and, she, the same back at him.

"Ben" she glanced at him then over to where Anakin was. Bens eyes followed hers and then he was staring at Anakin with shock and perhaps a little horror.
