The Dark Side Of The Light

Chapter Sixteen

Rey's POV
After approxiamately an hour of flying, we land on the planet where the resistance base was. I exited my ship and unhooked my lightsaber from my belt, not yet igniting it yet. The noise of trees rustling could be heard throughout the dense forest, I immediately knew that the resistance had known we'd be coming. I lead the troopers through the forest to where the base was when suddenly the sound of blasters going off rang loudly. I froze in place for only a second before igniting my saber. The red blade illuminating the dark forest in a pale red light. Soon enough it was a full on fight. The first order against the resistance.

I felt a sudden familiar pull of the force. It was the presence of my old best friend. I didn't know what to do or even think, I'd thought that he'd died in the fire.

I walked towards the place where the force was leading me when I caught sight of him, he still looked the same other than being a few inches taller and more muscular than before.

Ben's POV
I look at the girl standing in front of me, her lightsaber drawn but her eyes full of recognition. She looked a lot like... "Rey?" I said to her quietly, wondering if this was just a cruel joke that the force was playing.

"No, no, no, Snoke told me you were dead," she said quietly, her voice was shaking.

My breath caught in my throat. It was really her. I took a small step closer to the dark haired girl.

"Don't take another step closer," she said, her voice still shaking, but I couldn't tell if it was from anger or shock.

I stopped and actually looked at her. She was dressed in all black, her dark hair was longer and was loose in waves past her shoulders, her green eyes were unreadable. I stood there, not knowing what to say to her.
