Ben finds himself in a dark room. He's pointing a gun at Rey's head. "Rey? What's happening? I...can't move...Rey...?"

"Well done, Kylo. Your mission is nearly complete."

"Snoke?"

"Now for your final objective. Kill her and come home, Kylo."

"Ben! Please don't do this! I trusted you!"

"Say something, Dammit! Ben! Ben! Stop!"

"I-I can't stop!"

"Ben-" *BANG*



"Rey? What have I done?"

"I'm so sorry,  I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben... BEN!"


 Ben woke up.

"Ben! Can you hear me?! Say something, Goddammit! Ben-"

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

"What the f-? Jesus, Ben! What's gotten into you?!"

"Stay away from me...I don't want to hurt you...I-I don't...

"Ben...Shit!"

"Snoke, he made me do it I didn't want to I killed you I couldn't stop myself I shot you and I didn't fight back I really am just a monster I shot you I killed you I couldn't do anything I killed you I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry...Please kill me, Rey...Please. I don't want to live-"

Rey touched his cheek.

"Shhh. It's alright, Ben. It was just a nightmare. It's alright. I'm here. I know you'd never hurt me. Just listen."

Ben pressed his head against her chest and listened to her heartbeat. Ben started crying. Rey hugged him.

"I'm sorry. I was so scared..."

"I know, but there's no reason to be. I don't blame you. Sounds like one fucked up nightmare."

"You're alright, Ben. I got you. I got you."
