Long for the Return (Reylo FanFic)

Chapter 4

REY'S POV:

As soon as I leave the ship I throw over my hood, lower my head, and use my cloak to cover my full body so no one will suspect anything. I walk with my staff and with my lightsaber tucked in my side just in case I get into trouble. 

Alto said to meet at a cantina near the Sith memorial statue. Thing is, I don't know where it is, he only told me to go west. And that's what I exactly do. 

As I walk west, I try to stay in the shadows. "Dang it, " I say to myself, " I should have worn darker clothes." In the corner of my eyes, I see some people staring. I start walking faster, but not much so I won't be suspicious. I have an awful feeling in my gut that makes me call BB-8. "BB be ready for anything, I don't trust this place on bit." He beeps back in response. 

In which seems like forever, I finally reach the statue. I look around the clearing and see no cantina sign or anything. I walk around looking at the buildings and in the alley's. I look into the second alley and see nothing, great I say to myself. 

I look into the last alley and see a young man crying in the corner. I can't see his face cause he has his knees to his chest and his face in his hands. I walk up to him and kneel beside him, "Hey," I ask, "are you ok?" 

He looks at me with a sad expression. "No," he says quietly, "but since your here I'm better than ever." 

"What?" 

Before I know it, he pulls out his blaster and points it at me. I back up but only to see four masked guys surrounding me. I raise my hands, "What's this all about?" I ask. 

He smirks and takes two steps closer. "You said you needed information." 

I think for a second. "Alto?" 

"Yes?" I wanted to press the button to signal BB-8 for help, but I wanted to see how it'll go first. "I thought this was going to be a private conversation." I say looking at the other guys. 

"Well I thought maybe I should bring some back up just in case you try to pull something... iffy." 

"Well I'm not, " I say. It was a lie, but I can't tell him or else he won't give me information. 

"Why don't we talk over here," He points to the corner, "as my men can stay watch." 

I squint my eyes in suspense. "Alright." I say.

We go to the corner of the alley. It's so dark we can barely see each other. "Alright, talk." I say in a stern voice. 

"Easy there, " He says, "we got a lot of ground to cover." 

"Then make it quick , I don't trust this place." 

"Neither do I." He says. 

"Then why did you make the meeting here?" I ask. 

"So it won't be suspicious!" He raises his voice at me. 

"Quiet down!" I say. "Sorry," He says, "we're wasting time talking. Let's get down to business." 

"Alright, straight to the point." 

"Ok, it's not much, but I hope it'll help." 

I search his mind to find out if he's lying, but surprisingly he isn't. He seems he wants nothing to do with the light or the dark side. He just wants to help people find what they love that has been lost or taken away from them. He believes that the entire galaxy has suffered enough pain, that he thinks everyone should have second chances.

He rubs his head with a disgusted face. I quickly leave his mind and ask, " Are you ok?" 

"Ya, ok back to what I was saying. I have a friend name Alena and she has the coordinates to a place called 'Ata-holen'. Its known to have all the answers you forever search for. It's on a planet, that I don't know, in the outer Rim. Here." He hands me the coordinates to the place where I can find this Alena girl. 

I widen my eyes in amazement. "Wow, " I say, " thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me. How will ever pay you back?" 

"No need, I do this stuff for free." 

"Your a good man, Alto." I say. I hand him a small rectangle beckon with a few buttons on it. 

"What's this," He asks. 

"It's for whenever when you need help or when I need help. Just press the yellow button to signal me." 

He looks at me with a smile. "Thank you, " He says. 

As I turn to leave I say, " May the force be with you." 

"You too... Rey." I stop and turn my head so he sees the side of my face. I smile and nod my head and continue on.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER...

As I board the Millennium Falcon, I say hi to BB-8. I tell him to put in the coordinates for the planet were supposed to be at. "Wake me up if anything goes wrong." I tell him. 

Beep-boop.

 He responds back. As I fall asleep, I can't help but think of Ben. " I'll get you back, " I whisper to myself, " We'll see each other again... I promise. "

And then, I fall into a deep sleep.

Hey guys sorry if this chapter is so short. I have been busy with basketball and family stuff that I have barely any time. Wish me luck on my Championship game. I'll be writing chapter 5 right away. It will not probably come out in a few days because school starts Monday, ugh! Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and have a nice day.
