The Darkness In Us [Kylo Ren X Reader]

Prologue

Darkness.

Cold, empty, and lonely. You wander through the pitch black, searching desperately for just a sliver of light to guide you out. But no matter how far you walk or how loud you scream, nothing and no one comes to save you. No one can hear you and you are alone with your thoughts, the damp air suffocating you. No one is there.

Or is there?

"Who are you?" I ask the voice I've been hearing for months. I've never seen a person in this place to attach the voice to and didn't even know if there was one. Maybe it was all a hallucination due to the thin air not making it to my brain properly.

"I can assure you, I am not a hallucination," he booms. His voice is cool and sends shivers down my spine and goosebumps up my arms. It sounds so close as if he's whispering in my ear. But when I turn around, there is no one there.

"Please don't read my mind." I do my best to put up mind shields, a trick I've been trying to teach myself since I started having these dreams.

"Your shields are as weak as the rest of you," he scoffs. "You hope to fight alongside your filthy resistance, but you can hardly keep me out of your head."

A smirk forms on my lips. "Hardly? That means I'm getting better." I can practically hear him clench his jaw as he lets out a low growl of annoyance.

"Don't play smart with me," He yells causing me to shrink. "Don't you know who I am?"

"That's what I've been trying to figure out for months," I yell back, running my fingers through my hair in a flustered manner.

"Trust me, you don't want to know." He shrinks back down to a low tone, his voice raspy and soothing. That is when he's not yelling. When he yells, all you feel is hatred and pure rage.

"And why is that?" I sit myself onto the ground, my eyes staring down. "You seem to know everything about me while I know nothing about you. Why is that? Why are you so scared for me to know you?"

There is a long pause and I assume he has vanished. I sigh, holding my head in my hands. My eyes are so tired and my head throbs. These dreams have been keeping me up for months now. You would think since I'm sleeping to access these dreams that I would not feel tired. But it's like instead of this all just being in my head, slipping into unconsciousness just brings me to this dark plane of existence where it's impossible for me to get rest.

My friends knew nothing of what these dreams really were. They only knew I hadn't been sleeping properly since nothing can hide the faded purple bags I held under my eyes. They were worried, but I only assured them that I just had a lot of things going on in my mind that kept me up. And I guess that's not very far off from the truth.

I suddenly feel a presence behind me. It was not just the voice anymore, but something darker. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I try to turn but find my body not wanting to comply. I suddenly feel myself being lifted from the ground and I gasp, a sharp pain forming around my waist as it is being somehow squeezed in.

I hover above the ground as a hand grazes my shoulder softly. The touch is cold and is accompanied by a breath on the back of my neck. "Who are you?" I manage to breathe out. Footsteps echo from the floor as the body belonging to the voice walks around me until he is directly in front of me, his eyes glaring into mine. His eyes are dark and hold so much suffering belonging to himself and others he has hurt. His hair is long and dark like his eyes, and his ensemble makes him practically blend into the darkness around us. My breath catches in my throat as I stare at him, his eyes never leaving mine. I watch his lips part as he mutters a name that I would never forget.

"My name..is Ben Solo."

Hello my fellow Star Wars fans and Kylo admirers and welcome to The Darkness In Us, a Kylo Ren X Reader fanfiction. Thank you for stopping by my little corner of Wattpad and I hope you enjoyed this prologue. 

In this fanfiction, we will be using Y/N (your name), H/C (hair color), and E/C (eye color) substitutes. So when you see Y/N, substitute in your name for it. So like say your name is Emma and you see Y/N. You would put in Emma for Y/N and read it that way. It works the same way for H/C and E/C except you just put in your hair color and eye color. I hope that makes sense!!!

Chapters of this fanfiction may take some time to be uploaded since I am very busy, but I will try my best. Maybe one chapter a week and occasionally two if I'm lucky. 

Anyways, please vote and comment and even possibly follow me since that would mean a lot

And, may the force be with you always!!!
