The Dark Side Of The Light

Chapter Twenty-Two

Rey's POV
I nodded and looked at him, still a little shocked that he'd even be willing to help me. "Okay," I said quietly with a slight smile.

"Okay," he said quietly standing up. "I should probably go tell my mother the new plan, before she and Poe decide on something without me."

I nodded. "You'll tell me when they come to a decision, even if its bad, right?" I asked him as he left the cell, closing and locking the door behind him.

"Yeah, of course I will, but let's hope that it isn't bad," he replied.

"Okay," I said.

"Okay."

Ben's POV
I walked away from her cell, knowing that I was going to try to my hardest to get Rey out of that cell.

I entered the bridge where Poe and my mother were still discussing something, looking up and going silent as soon as I entered the room.

"She agreed to tell us everything," I told them. "She already told me a lot of useful information, Mom." I added, noticing her skeptical look.

"Ben, she's still someone that we can't trust," she replied.

"Mom, listen to me for one second, she can help us! Rey might be the one to give us the upper hand against the first order!" I said, slightly annoyed.

"She's nothing but a twisted girl who's killed a lot of people, I still think that she should just be executed," Poe replied.

I stepped closer to him. "You don't know her like I do, Poe, so shut the hell up." I warned him.

He put his hands up in surrender and stepped back.

"Ben, if you really think that she can help us, I'll trust you," Leia said calmly.

"Oh, and one more thing, if she's here, we should at least let her do some chores, maybe help out with the resistance a little," I replied, knowing that this might be pushing my luck.

Leia looked at me, still skeptical. Poe glared at me. "She's still a prisoner!" He exclaimed.

"Poe, shut up, I wasn't asking you," I said annoyed.

"Ben, this girl will be your responsibility, if she ends up betraying the resistance, both of you will be put in cells," Leia replied.

I nodded, agreeing to it and silently hoping that Rey wouldn't betray the resistance. "Okay." I said.
