Rey had lost track of how long she had been on Exegol. As she wrapped the red fabric around her arms, she examined the cuts on them. Each one was a reminder of how she had failed. Pain was power and, with each injury she gave herself, she was becoming more powerful. Rey steeled her self for the day. Nothing would stand in her way. Suddenly, she could feel a swelling of the force round her.
"No. No! NO!" Ben appeared before her, somehow he had made it past her barriers. "What are you doing here?! Get out!"
"Please. Tell me where you are. I want to help you." Tears flickered in his eyes.
"No. This is something I have to do alone!" She squeezed her arm, blood pooling between her fingers. Ben flinched. It was so much worse than he imagined. He had to get to her, Now! He knew what he had to do. He held his hand out projecting himself into the room with her.
"I'm sorry" He said as he probed her mind for her location.
"What are you doing!?" He continued digging into the darkest corners of her mind.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!" She screamed, swinging the twin blades at him. He dodged the attack.
"I'm so sorry. I love you." And with that he faded away. Rey screamed throwing her saber at the wall. Ben was coming and she still had no idea how to save him.Wow. This was a dark chapter.
I have struggled with depression for years although I have never engaged in self-harm. I have gotten better thanks to clinical help as well as a loving support group.
If you struggle with self-harm or suicidal thoughts, PLEASE call this suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255. You don't have to go through this alone.
Thank you. See you in the next chapter.
