Wolfsbane · Kylo Ren

Rey
When Rey set out to find the legendary Master Luke Skywalker, this situation was not what she imagined.

"Master Skywalker?"

She called, repeatedly rapping her fist against the thick wood of the door that stood between them.

He had retreated into a small hut, and now seemed to be ignoring her.

"Master Skywalker? I'm from the Resistance. Your sister Leia sent me. We need your help."

No answer.

Maybe she'd chosen the wrong hut?

"Hello?"

She asked one more time.

Rey let out a short huff.

She'd made it clear her mission was urgent, maybe he couldn't hear her?

No, she had been quite loud enough.

A thought sprang to her mind.

The lightsbaber, she'd left it there.

The soft grass rustled as she marched back to where she'd found Skywalker.

She knelt to the ground, picking up the dew covered laser sword.

A formation in the water caught her eye, it was a B series x wing.

Determination filled her once more.

She marched back to the Falcon, Luke Skywalker would leave with her, today.

"Chewie, I need your help."

As the two approached the hut once more, Rey gave him one last chance.

She practically punched the door in a final knock.

"Go away."

Was the only response.

Chewie let out an aggravated huff, body slamming the door down.

Rey couldn't help a small surge of satisfaction as they entered the hut.

"Chewie, what are you doing here?"

Skywalker demanded.

Chewie let out a forceful roar.

"He said you're coming back with us."

Rey stated, gripping her staff tightly.

She was new to giving orders, especially to powerful jedi.

"How did you find me?"

Skywalker questioned.

Rey was officially, irritated.

"Long story we'll tell you in the Falcon."

His face changed.

"Falcon?"

Rey's eyes dropped, unable to meet the old man in the eye.

"Wait. Where is Han?"

Chewie let out a mournful groan.

Rey tried to push away the memory, and the swell of pain it brought.

Luke sank into his chair.

"Ben."

Rey began to speak, but a low growl came from the doorway, silencing her.

She turned to see a black wolf, the size of a speeder, baring its teeth.

Chewie let out a roar towards the wolf.

It flinched, but continued to growl darting in front of Skywalker, as if to the protect him.

"Mara."

Skywalker barked.

It pulled its jewelry adorned ears back submissively, slinking to the corner of the hut.

"You have a wolf."

Rey mumbled, her tone sounding numb.

"Oh, she's not mine, watch what you say, she's a Lycan."

Rey let out a scoff.

"Lycan are a childrens tale."

The wolf let out another low growl.

Rey froze.

"It can understand me?"

Another growl.

"Mara, doesn't enjoy being referred to as an it."

Rey shook away her shock, attempting to remain on course with her mission.

"There is no light left in Kylo Ren."

She told Skywalker, eyeing the Lycan warily.

"He's only getting stronger.
The First Order will control all the major systems within weeks. We need your help.
We need the Jedi Order back."

Mara sniffed Chewie curiously, and the wookie let out a curious trill, obviously warming up to the wolf.

"We need Luke Skywalker."

Rey finished, glad the Jedi was now willing to listen.

"You don't need Luke Skywalker."

Her mood dropped.

Or not.

"Did you hear a word I just said?"

She demanded.

"You think what? I'm gonna walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order?"

Rey's mouth opened, but she snapped it shut before she could say anything foolish.

"What did you think was going to happen here? Do you think that I came... To the most unfindable place in the galaxy for no reason at all?"

Rey searched for the words to say.

What had she imagined?

Not this.

"Go away."

The jedi ordered, leaving the hut in a moody manner.

Determination still tugged at her every sense.

"I'm not leaving without you!"

She insisted.

But the jedi just continued forward.

She huffed in frustration.

She had to convince him.

Been working on this for months but I finally decided to post it. Part one will shift between Rey, Ben, and Mara's POVs, but they'll be mostly Mara. Part two will focus less on Rey. Please like and comment. I definitely accept constructive criticism. I ship Reylo forever but I loved this idea. I just wanted something different for Ben.
Thanks!
