They thanked Maz for her time and information. Maz nodded, shaking Rey's hand goodbye.

"I'm going to get some fuel." Ben said to her. "You'll be fine while I'm gone?"

"I'll stay right here." Rey said.

Ben nodded to her before he stalked off through the crowded cantina. Rey looked around at the surroundings. None of the patrons were paying her much attention. At a table nearby, the mosquitoes were being served another round of drinks. One of the drinks spilled and a brief fight broke out amongst them.

"Noooooo!"

Rey turned her head at the faint scream of a child. What would a child be doing in a place like this? The cries continued to echo, and Rey caught sight of a stairwell.

Ignoring her promise to Ben to stay put, she stood up and approached the stairs. The stone steps spiraled down into the depths of the castle.

"Noooooo!" came the cry.

Without hesitation, Rey hurried down the stairs and into a hallway with three doors on either side. The cry seemed to be coming from the furthest room at the end of the hall. She cautiously walked towards it, the door raising as she approached.

Entering the room, it looked as if was being used as a means of storage. Several old crates and boxes, some blanketed by dust covered tarps, were stacked amongst the room. A wooden chest perched on top of a crate near the back of the room caught her attention.

Something told her to open it. She couldn't explain what it was. Was it the Force telling her to open it? If so, why? She crouched, reaching out a shaking hand towards the rusty lock. She lifted the lock and the lid of the chest lifted open.

She gave a small gasp. She knew instantly what it was. A lightsaber. But whose was it? And why was it down here in the basement of Maz's castle? She reached down into the box, unable to control herself.

As soon as she touched the lightsaber she felt a spark through her fingertips She yelped and stepped back from the chest, the lid slamming shut. She was no longer in the storage room. She was back on Starkiller base, and it was about to implode. She ran down the darkened halls of the base, falling to the side as a wall collapsed on her.

She rolled to the side to sit up, seeing a flaming building in the background. The flames were extinguished as it began to rain. A fleeing soldier nearly fell on top of her, having been impaled by a familiar red lightsaber. She scrambled out of the way and to her feet, mouth hanging open in shock. It was Ben, dressed in his Knights of Ren mask and clothes. He was surrounded by six other soldiers in similar masks. He stared down at the man on the ground before suddenly, he looked up and directly at her. He began to walk towards her and she couldn't help but take a couple of fearful steps backward as he menacingly approached.

Suddenly the rain was gone and Rey was as she stood in the scorching sands of the Jakku desert.

"Noooooo! Come baaaaack!" Cried the little girl that Rey recognized as her younger self. She whirled around at the sound of a starship preparing to exit the planets atmosphere. She stared up at the sky, seeing the back end of the fleeing ship.
