The Dark Side Of The Light

Chapter Nineteen

Rey's POV
I sat on the cold hard ground of the cell, tears streaming down my face, clouding my vision. Of all people who I could've seen today, it had to have been him, the person I cared about most. I didn't know how much time had passed since he'd left, and honestly I didn't really care, I couldn't talk to him right now after everything I've done. I should've been faster in the forest, not frozen. I was terrified of what would happen to me, if I escaped and went back to the order, Snoke would be extremely disappointed in me and if I stayed here there was a good chance I'd be executed.

I buried my head in my hands, silent tears streaming down my face. I knew that I should've been trying to stay calm and reserved but not this time, this time it was too much to handle.

Ben's POV
I looked at my mother, her expression was unreadable.

"So what do you think we should do about her?" I asked her.

"Ben, if she's part of the first order, she's probably a big deal there, especially if what Luke told me was true," she replied, "I'm sorry but the only option here is interrogation and then execution."

I looked up at her in shock, shocked that she'd even mention execution, that had been forbidden in the resistance for years. "No. She at least deserves a fair trial." I said.

"No she doesn't," I heard Poe's voice say as he entered the room. "That girl is twisted, Ben, she doesn't deserve anything." He added.

"Poe," Leia said shooting him a warning look.

"What? Everything I'm saying is the truth! That girl is a monster that deserves absolutely nothing except death!" He said, obviously extremely mad.

I glared at him, although I knew he was right. "I have to go check on her." I said before walking back down to where her cell was.

I saw her, her elbows were on her knees and her face was buried in her hands and I could tell she was crying.

"Hey," I said to her quietly.

"What do you want, Ben?" She asked miserably, glancing up at me.

"I wanted to tell you what's going to happen to you," I replied quietly.

"I already know what's going to happen. You and the resistance are going to interrogate me and attempt to make me tell you about the first orders plans and when I refuse you're going to execute me, right?" She replied, looking at the ground.

I looked at her, a little shocked that she'd known. "Right," I replied quietly.
