Forgotten, But Not Lost

Chapter 18

Head splintering headache, eyes watering, and sore body above all else, was what Amar was feeling as she opened her eyes. All she could see was blurry images of figures standing around her, it happened to be dark and she could feel the rumble of a ship. Amar assumed where ever she was, they were still flying, maybe they hadn't gotten very far and Amar hadn't been out for too long. Amar thought to herself if it was even possible to get out of this? By the count of the blurry men, she presumed not.

Her eyes started to clear up and she could feel the beings become more aware of her waking up from being unconscious. The leader who called himself Ren came forward and crouched down to Amar.

"I am sorry young Jedi, I was only following orders. No hard feelings?" Ren held out his hand as if you shake on it, but Amar turned her head up as if to suggest things were not forgiven. Ren stood up and paced around the room of the ship.

"Honestly, we could use a woman of your stature and demeanor. I just wish we didn't have to deliver you to 'him'."

"Wait, where are you taking me?" Amar asks as she gradually started to sit up carefully.

Ren hesitated from telling Amar the truth, but finally decided that it wasn't part of the job to keep the secret.

"We were ordered to take you to Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order. What he wants with you I am not sure, but you are to be delivered unharmed." Ren turned to Amar as he said the last part and winked at her as he exited out of the room. Ren left with three of the Knights of Ren, the others were to watch over her and make sure she didn't attempt at escape.

Amar knew it was useless, so she thought she would make do with what she had, she placed herself on the cot that was on the side of the room. She laid herself down on her back and placed her hands on her abdomen. The Knights seem to have relaxed a bit and started to talk amongst themselves, that gave Amar a little peace of mind.

Amar tried to rest her eyes, but suddenly she felt extreme pain and sadness rush over her.

Ben.

He was projecting all of these feelings to her, she felt all of his pain and suffering. Amar sat up and felt tears running down her face, she patted them and realized that Ben's emotions were so strong that they were actually projecting onto her own self. There was something very wrong and Amar was useless, she couldn't run to her dear Ben to help comfort him.

Amar thought maybe she could try and project back with enough power from herself and her unborn children. Amar placed both of her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes, she felt out through the force and sent calming waves towards the pain in the force. Amar only hoped that it would reach him and he could begin to feel better. She sat there for a full half hour to make sure that the force waves reached Ben.

By the time Amar was done force projecting, her body was giving out. She had spent a lot of her energy projecting, but before her body gave out, she could have sworn she saw Ben, as clear as if he was standing in front of her. Ben was not however standing in front of her, he was kneeling on his knees with his hands to his head and he was crying. Blackness took Amar and she passed out back on the cot.

—————

The ship had landed, Amar was woken up by the three Knights and they helped her up. The one Knight not standing by her side came over and placed binders on her wrists. The binders were special, they impeded her from using the force, which meant she was also cut off from Ben. Amar started to panic, how was Ben supposed to find her if he couldn't even sense her presence? The Knights led her down the ramp of their ship and Amar could not believe her eyes.

Amar was standing in the docking bay of a First Order Cruiser, the bay was huge and there were Stormtrooper doppelgängers everywhere. Amar even noticed there were fresh new TIE fighters lined up, ready to be flown.

Amar pondered over the news she had recently discovered, Snoke was the Supreme Leader of the First Order, the man that claimed a voice in her head was Snoke, and that meant her whole life was controlled by the dark side of the force. In the back of her head ,she knew her visions were slowly but surely coming true, if Ben were to follow her here, he would be killed by the hands of the Knights or worse.

The elevator seemed like a never ending journey until the doors swooshed open to reveal a dark red curtained throne room, it was similar to the one in her visions, but still different. That gave Amar some hope that meant the visions could have different outcomes. Amar looked forward to see about six other guards that were dressed in shiny red armor and wore helmets to cover their faces.

Sitting on the throne was the man from her trials and the voice in her head. He wore the same golden robe and he was just as frightening to look at, as she remembered. The Knights pushed her forward not realizing she had halted her movements at the sight of Snoke. Next to Snoke was Ren, the leader of the Knights, Snoke rose to the sign of Amar walking closer. Snoke held up his arms as a welcome.

"My child, you are finally here. I am sorry I forcefully had to grab you, but you were meant to be here by my side. Welcome." Snoke started his descent down the stairs of the throne and over to Amar.

"You kidnapped me!" Amar backed away from the incoming Snoke. The two Knights on either side of Amar, grabbed her arms and pushed her back to the front of them and steadied her there.

"Dear one, I had too, Luke was never going to allow you come here, where you were destined to be." Snoke reached out again to her face as to caress her cheek.

As Snoke touched her cheek, Amar felt an odd sensation of someone rifting through her memories. Snoke was going through her mind, without even asking for permission. Amar fought back and nudged the Knights in the stomachs and was able to take a few steps back.

"Get out of my head!" Amar blurted out, but the act of Snoke going through her mind was taking a toll on her body. The Knights resumed their duties and grabbed her arms again and brought her forward.

Snoke looked at Amar and smiled wide at her, a wicked grin, like he had seen something that pleased him in her mind.

"This Ben Solo has a great hold on you it seems. So much that you two have seemed to produce offspring." Snoke turned around, back to his throne.

Amar was speechless, Snoke had just found out about her pregnancy, Amar hadn't even been given the chance to tell Ben herself. Amar could feel anger rolling off of her skin, but was snuffed by the binders on her wrist.

"What a change of events, does Ben know of this?" Snoke asked Amar as he sat down on his throne and brought his hand up to his chin to think.

"No."

Was all Amar could manage to get out, she felt defeated. She didn't want people to know yet let alone the Supreme Leader. Snoke was in thought and started to laugh, causing Amar to jolt up to stare at him in surprise.

"Well, my dear I guess we are going to have to get Ben here, so he can finally know he is about to be a father." Snoke chuckled again after he said the last part.

"Please no, leave him out of this. Just let me go. We will run off and you will never see us again." Amar pleaded with Snoke at her last attempt.

"What a waste, I would never spoil both of your talents. No, Ben Solo will come here and he will join me. Ren, take Amar to her quarters aboard the ship and proceed to where I told you Ben would be."

Amar could feel her knees giving out by what she was hearing Snoke say. Her trials were most definitely coming true. Ren grabbed her by the binders and led her out to the elevator. Snoke sat back in his throne and smiled to himself, he knew this was all going to plan. The Emperor's insight was proving correct, his family line was far from being over.
