Disrupted Future (Kylo Ren/Ben Solo x Original Character)

Death & Pain

Crait

Sara was meditating a little far from the base, in the middle of the salt desert when she heard the familiar sound of her Mirrorbright landing on the planet. She opened her eyes and watched Master Luke walk from her ship. His eyes met hers and she knew he could instantly tell what was happening. She got up from the ground and took a deep breath; since the previous day every time she tried to reach Ben it was Snoke's voice she heard – he hadn't severed their connection like the first time, he'd left the path wide open instead, letting her know Ben was suffering; she felt every torture Snoke inflicted on him, every word of hatred that he put inside Ben's head; she had been unable to sleep last night as she was forced to listened to Ben's screams and Snoke's laughter whenever she closed her eyes.

She knew Luke would be able to see the chaos that was in her mind – but she was humble enough to admit she needed his help, so she walked towards her Master.

Luke saw the pain in Sara's eyes even from that distance; he saw her walking slowly towards him and he went towards his sister, being hugged in the first moment and punched in the second.

"Why didn't you tell me where you were?" demanded Leia.

"I didn't want any visitors." Said Luke, touching his arm. "Sara would tell you if I was in any danger – which I wasn't."

"Yes, I know." She looked at the woman walking towards them. "Snoke is torturing Ben and is making sure she hears everything. He will come kill her..."

"That's why I'm here." Luke held Leia's hands in his. "I'll help her defeat Snoke. And we'll find a way to save Ben again."

Leia took a deep breath, "It's just that... I worry about her; she's the daughter I never had. Ever since Ben died she's been by my side in everything. I'd trust her with my life. Also, I am not sure my son can be saved again; according to the little that Sara has told me, Snoke is being thorough this time, there's not much Ben left... So she's all I have now."

"She told me about the crown." He said.

"Yes. She will be an amazing queen." Leia gave a small smile. "Ben couldn't have chosen a better person to share his life with. I just... I feel so guilty. He was kidnapped and tortured because of me, because he's my son. I hope he survives this, he deserves to enjoy a peaceful life; they both deserve."

"Sara will do whatever it takes to save him, you know?" Luke warned his sister. "You must be ready to see a side of her that only our father could understand."

Leia looked at him with a frown. "She mentioned to me once that she's met him."

"Yes. And they became good friends; after Ben died, Sara was on her way to the dark side; she wanted to kill everyone that could be remotely responsible for his death. Our father saved her – and the galaxy – from what she could've become." He paused. "He said he'd be with her in case of need, so he may be showing up before the fight is over."

Sara finally reached them. "Master Luke." She bowed her head, not hiding her inner chaos.

"Sara." He greeted her, worried by the turmoil he could sense inside of her. "What's happening, kid? You look sick."

"Snoke left our connection intact this time. I can feel every torture he inflicts on Ben and... I've been absorbing some of it."

Leia was shocked, "You haven't told me that!" She touched Sara's arm. "You can't do that to yourself! You're letting Snoke hurt you!"
