The Awakening: Sequel to Just You : Reylo Fanfiction

Chapter 3: Run away

Millenias POV
I just had to get away from there. Everyone staring at me as my dreams were broken. Woods surrounded me as I wiped tears off of my face. My parents words echoed in my head.
"You can never be a Jedi..."
I found a tree stump to sit on and rest. I felt like I had been running since forever. I couldn't believe my parents couldn't understand why I needed them to train me as a Jedi. The force was so strong within me. I always wanted to be a Jedi. A twig snapping from behind me startled my thoughts. I turned around to see a creature about 10 feet away from me as big as me with at least 4 rows of teeth. Out of terror, I began running as fast as I could up the cliff. My heart beat as I tried to figure out where to go. To my luck, I saw a climbable tall tree. I swiftly rushed up the branches, barely out of the creatures grasp.
"Help!" I called to anyone who might hear, but I doubted I was anywhere near civilization where someone might hear me.
The creature started climbing the tree until a laser out of nowhere came and shot it. It fell to the ground. I looked to see where the laser came from and saw a boy about my age holding a blaster. His dark brown hair flowed in the wind. He spotted me looking at him.
"Are you ok?" He asked running over towards the tree.
He helped me down form the tree and I fell into his arms. Flustered, I blushed.
"Thank you, for saving my life."
"No problem," he suavely said.
Awkwardly he put me down and I dusted myself off.
"I'm Apex," he said.
"I'm Millennia Solo," I said shyly.
" How old are you?"
"I just turned 15."
"Really? I'm 16," Apex smiled.
"Millenia what are you doing out in the middle of these woods?" He said slinging his blaster back in its holder.
"Well I was actually running away," I admitted looking at my feet.
"Why?" He asked coming dangerously close to me.
There was almost a tension between us.
"My family won't train me to become a Jedi. They think it's time for the Jedi to end."
"Oh," Apex sighed.
"Actually if you wanted, I could train you," Apex offered.
"But you're no Jedi!" I laughed.
"You're wrong about that," Apex said pulling out a lightsaber and turning it on. It's green blade shimmered ever so brightly.
"Woah," I said under my breath, admiring its beauty. A real light saber.
"My grandfather was one of the Jedis that escaped Order 66. He trained my father in secret and my father trained me. So you could say I'm a Jedi," he said deactivating the light saber.
"Now let's get you home."

I finally caught sight of the village.
"That's it!" I said.
We walked up to see my mom at the edge of the house pacing. She turned around and her face lit up.
"Oh Millie your home!" She exclaimed embracing me.
"Everyone come here, Millenias home!" Mom shouted towards the house and everyone came running out and started hugging me.
Mom then looked at Apex.
"Thank you so much for returning our daughter."
"No problem," Apex smiled.
"Please stay for dinner," Leia offered.
"Thank you but I really must get going," Apex said. Everyone thanked Apex and went back in the house.
"Meet me in the woods about the same time today, and I will train you to be a Jedi," Apex whispered after everyone left.
I nodded as he kissed my hand and then started back towards the woods.

Apexs POV
"Father I'm going to train the Solo girl."
"The daughter of Ben Solo?"
"Yes."
"I haven't seen Solo since.... since he left us, Knights of Ren, To rule the First Order."
"The girl is strong with the force, I felt it."
"She could be a great asset to us. She could become of a Knight of Ren. Keep training her Apex, don't make it too obvious though, but throw some Sith tactics in there. She will join us....or die."
