Call Out My Name // Ben Solo

The temple burns by Knight

"Dorian that is so awesome" cheered Poe, giving her a hug, along with Finn and Jannah, as she told them the news of her being allowed to take the trials at her young age. "We have to celebrate...let have a camp-out here tonight by the lake" Said Finn, and Jannah repsonded "Yeah, we'll get our tents, bags, and make some food to bring. It'll be fun." Giving out a sigh Dorian said "I can't, you know I can only leave the temple at the weeks end." 

"Pfft" said Poe "You're basically a Jedi, you can come out". Jannah added "Yeah, its the day before anyways, they'll just think you left early in the morning anyways" 

Dorian looked at all of her friends, just starring at them, admiring them. Finn took notice and said "Are you okay?". Dorian shook her head "Nothing, I just...I love you guys" 

They all looked at her and gushed dramatically and Poe pulled her in for a group hug. While in their loving embrace, she felt a twinge of pain in her chest. Something that she would sometimes feel before having a vision, she took in a deep breath and the pain intensified, she jerked herself away from her friends, due to feeling smothered. Her eyes were down to the ground, a fire flashed across her mind. She wasn't sure where this was going to take place. "I saw something, a fire". Poe nodded , "yeah we're gonna build a fire, it's fine". 

Dorian wanted to truly believe that what Poe said. So she ignored the possibility of it being anything more than their celebration tonight. She would sometimes have vision that would turn out to be pointless. 

The four of them went back to their homes, and Dorian went to the market to get food for the night. She was very excited about going through the trials, but wasn't sure if she was truly ready. She accepted the fact that she was still immature in some aspects and still had a lot to learn. She tired to let go of wishing her parents could see how far shes come, because they were gone, and dwelling on what could've been isn't helpful. That's why she did everything to forget about Ben. He hated her, and she knew she would never get the answers she wanted from him. 

It was rounding towards the evening, when the group met back up at the lake. They set their two tents up, one for Poe and Finn and then one for Jannah and Dorian. Finn, and Dorian started to build a fire while Poe and Jannah started prepping the food. 

Finn and Dorian walked a bit into the forest to gather wood when Dorian randomly asked "Hey do you remember that night of the Endor celebration?". Finn nodded "Yeah?". as he took a stick from her. "Well, Poe said, that you knew where I was...how'd you know?"

Finn just shrugged "I don't know, it's weird. Sometimes I get these weird feelings, like there stronger than an instinct.", giving a nod Dorian responded "well you may be force sensitive". That made Finn stop "Force sensitive?". Dorian nodded and kept picking up more sticks handing them to Finn. "Yeah, it's something that i've read about in Jedi text. Some people can be 'force sensitive' they understand things, beyond what most people can."

Finn starred at his friend for a moment. "And you think that I'm force sensitive?", Dorian just shrugged, "I can't answer that for you, but I can say, look within yourself and perhaps you'll find out, let's get back, I think we've got enough firewood"

The two of them returned to see Poe and Jannah had finished prepping the food for everyone. Dorian started the fire and they all sat around it and began talking and reminiscing about their lives together. They all talked about their futures and what they wanted to do. Poe talked of be a resistance fighter, Poe an infantry general, and Jannah had plans to serve on  the Senate. As time went on the night died down just like the fire they had started. Dorian began to feel her eyes grow heavy and decided to crawl into her and Jannahs tent, and the rest followed suit. Dorian and the group found themselves falling into a deep, peaceful slumber.

That was until Dorian was jolted awake by the sound of a boom. She screamed for Jannah to wake up, and ran out of the tent, and saw Finn and Poe come out. Thats when they saw, in the distance the temple up in flames. "The temple" Dorian said in a whisper, as she grabbed her saber out of her bag and ran. Finn, Jannah and Poe looked at one another before running to the temple. The group caught up with Dorian who was on her knee's starring at the temple, sobbing.  She blamed herself, she saw this happening and did nothing. A buzzing feeling swarmed her ears and that's when she saw Ben in her mind, he was heading into up to his parents home. "Ben" she growled. Pulling herself to her feet, "I've gotta get up to the Generals house, go to the neighborhoods and get everyone out of there, i'll meet you all there and see if you can find Master Skywalker" She didn't give them time to respond and took off up the kill too the Generals home to stop Ben from inciting more violence...

Dorians entire chest was burning as she sprinted up the hill to Ben's house cutting through the greenery. She stopped when she saw Ben from behind, he was talking to Luke. Dorian listened in, "Ben, this isn't the way, don't turn to the darkside, don't follow in the path as my father did, please?"

Ben's voice sounded angry and broken. "There's no turning back, I will finish what he started" he then unsheathed his saber and stood before his uncle. Dorian looked at Luke who held his stance "Then I have failed you, but if you strike me down, I will remain with you forever."

Ben gripped his saber tighter and growled "we'll see about that". He ran towards Luke and Luke closed his eyes, letting Ben strike him down. Dorian watched in horror, letting out a gut wrenching scream, she ran out with her saber unsheathed and tried to attack Ben. The two of them began to fight. Ben held off Dorians offensive strike and said, "You think you can best me?" He shoved her back and Dorian ran to attack him again. They continued to fight, and Ben was over powering her. Dorian began to channel her anger, seething with it to a point that Ben took notice, she looked like a completely different human being.

She was able to hold her own, and kicked Ben in his stomach knocking him back. They continued on, with Dorian striking Ben in the face. He fell to the ground, and Dorian stood over him ready to kill him and then the feeling of anger was gone. Ben looked at her and she closed her saber. "Get up" she said taking his saber. Backing away she gave him room to stand. Ben showed no emotion not even with the long gash across his face. She starred at him, taking in his face, she saw how broken he was. She whispered to him "Ben-" but she was met with being force thrown down the side of Ben's home onto jagged rocks tumbling all the way down.

Ben set his parents house ablaze, before taking off to the edge of the village where he had transport ready to head off to his master.

Finn was down in the village and saw the transport leave. A feeling came over him "Dori-" and he began to run up towards the smoke. "DORIIIII" he screamed over and over, he focused his thoughts and then ran to the edge to where the house sat, and saw her motionless down in the ditch. He screamed her name and climbed down.

Kneeling next to her he moved her and gently shook her. "dori-". She moaned out "Finn where's Ben?" with hesitation he said "he- he escaped. Come on let me help you, we've gotta get out of here" Dorian was in agony as Finn pulled her to her feet. "Get my saber, please" They began to climb up the jagged ditch, Dorian saw the house up in flames "where's..the..General?" she asked. Finn put her arm around his neck and said "She's with the village." They began walking away about to pass the garden when Dorian stopped when she saw Lukes robes. "Wait Finn-" she pulled away and limped her way over to the them and sifted through them till she found his saber. Her breathing was labored as she turned to face Finn, she collapsed. Finn rushed by her side and carried her down to the village to be treated.

+++++++

It was 3 days before Dorian woke up in hospital, her body ached, and she felt as though as she was living a nightmare. She could hear the faint beeping of the machines that she was hooked up too. She was so angry at herself for not looking into her vision, and was so angry at Ben for doing what he did. In that moment she vowed to get revenge on Ben Solo.
