     The voice hadn't replied in a while and Rey started to become worried. She was flying in circles waiting for a response. She had all the time in the galaxy to think about what had happened. Ben had asked her to join the First Order. To leave the Resistance and rule the galaxy with him. And she had said yes. She left behind her friends to die and went with Ben. And she became the Supreme Leader with him. They ruled the First Order together and barked orders. She got pregnant. Three months into the pregnancy and she miscarried. That was when everything went wrong. Ben forgot about her, just like that. He shoved her out of their bed and threatened her with his saber. The troopers didn't recognize her either. She was all alone in the First Order. And now she was in the air, riding in a stolen ship waiting for a voice in her head to tell her what to do.

     "Alright, voice. You've got exactly ten minutes to tell me what to do or I'm blocking you out." Rey whispered. Ten minutes passed. "Fine. Don't try telling me what to do anymore. I'm gonna go find a random planet and hope I don't get killed."

     Wait!

     Rey smiled. "Look who came crawling back." She said with a satisfied tone in her voice.

     Rey, you need to think straight. Go to the Resistance.

     "What? And get myself killed?" She said loudly.

     You could say that you were held hostage. They'd believe you since Ben's done it before.

     Rey laughed. "Right. And if that doesn't work?"

     You're a Jedi. I'd like to see them try to kill you.

     Rey nodded and turned the ship towards where the Resistance was stationed. She mumbled to herself, trying to cope with the events that had just happened. When she went into the atmosphere, she focused on the Resistance base. She touched down and found a sharp tool. Quickly, she cut her skin in several places and put on an expression like she had been tortured. She opened the door and stumbled out.

     "It's Rey!"

     Rey collapsed onto the grass. A group of people rushed to her and picked her up. She felt the hands of many people, but kept her eyes closed. There was a series of shouting, discussing where they would treat her.

     I told you.

     She smiled, relieved that the voice had helped her. Whoever it was, was loyal to her. She whispered, only loud enough for her to hear, "Who are you?"

     Someone who'd never let you go.

     She felt a warm feeling in her stomach spread down to her toes. She relaxed her body and opened her eyes to the bright blue sky. "Ben."
