"...I don't believe you" Dorian said. Ben dropped his shoulders and stepped closer to her. "You know it's true, we'll be in Volik in few hours, I suggest you rest. Snoke did a number on you, just through there is my quarters, you can have my bed". He then strolled back to the captains quarters. Dorian looked to where his room would be, deciding that it would be smart to get some sleep. The room was small, and dark, almost everything was in black. It made her chuckle, sitting down on the side of his bed, she slowly slid under the blankets nuzzling herself into the pillow, which smelt like Ben. It was soothing and fresh, like early spring at the lake she would frequent with Poe, Finn, and Jannah. The scent of him soothed her to sleep. 

She began to dream, flashes of the Emperor on a throne. Then flashes of light sabers, screams, and cries rang out. Ben heard the faint sound of Dorian whining in her sleep, he stood up and slowly walked to the room, where the screams grew louder and louder. He opened the door hearing her cry for, him. She was crying for him to save her. He rushed to her side and shook her. She woke up screaming and latched her arms around his neck, holding onto him for dear life, sobbing" Ben's hands were up. He was hesitant to touch her in a soothing way, fearing he would be consumed by her. He was afraid of her. She was whispering "He's back. The Emperor-oh Ben", hearing her whisper his name, made his arms drop around her and he held her tightly. The both were consumed with the sense of calm. Dorian was beyond exhausted that she dosed off again on Ben's broad chest. Knowing that she had fallen asleep he took a deep breath and relaxed more into her, relishing in the moment. He tucked her into bed, and admired her beautiful face. 

Ben left the room and wave a nausea over came him. He could already see that he was losing his vigilance when around her. He would never admit it to himself or anyone but, seeing her in agony from what Snoke did, played a part in him killing him. He knew why he wanted the way finder, he just hoped that when the time came, she would agree. 


Dorian woke up after a few hours or so with her body still aching, she wanted to change into something more comfortable, so she went to her duffel bag and pulled out a black wrap dress shorter than the one she wore on the island. Pulling her shoulder length hair up, she freshened up and tiptoed out of the room to see where Ben is, to ask him a question.  She walked into the captains quarters and saw him using the force to fly a small replica of his ship. Dorian giggled, making him stop and the toy fall to the ground. Ben stood up abruptly and faced her. Neither of them spoke for what felt like a life time. Ben, looked her up and down, and Dorian saw him and smirked. "Uhh-Ben....why..well, you killed snoke-", Ben nodded at her confused by her stammering before saying "Why what, say it?". Dorian twiddled her fingers and then said "You could've killed me, why didn't you?". Ben gave a slight shrug and head jerk, not wanting to answer. Dorian tilted her head to try and meet his eyes again. He instead answered with another question "On the island, you could've killed me, why didn't you?". Dorian scoffed softly, and shifted her weight from one foot to another, and tried to hide a small smirk before saying "I-I saw something.", Ben's chest tightened and held his breath, Dorian, continued. "I saw that when the time came, you would turn...". Ben breathed a sigh off relief, that she didn't see what he had seen in that mirror. 

Ben didn't know what to say, so he looked away and then said "we'll be at Volik soon, and listen, the sooner you have a vision of where the WayFinder is, the sooner we can get to the rebel base. Dorian was smiling and shaking her head in disbelief, "I can't believe-" she took a deep breath and looked at him. Seeing his saddened eyes slightly warming, and that he was more relaxed. It also never got lost on her, that he was extremely attractive. Ben saw that she was starring at him and he said "Is there something you want, or are you just gonna keep looking at me?", Dorian snapped out of it. "Yeah, I mean-no.." she then quickly backed her way out of the area and back into Ben's room. Both of them we're feeling an urge course through their bodies almost mirroring one another. Ben had to sit down, and Dorian laid down trying to collect herself. 


(A few hours after arriving to Volik)


"Ben, it doesn't work like that, I can't just decide when I want to have a vision" Snapped Dorian. 

"Well you can at least meditate, or something we can't just sit here" Replied Ben

"Ben, it's not that simple, why are you such an ass?!" She said

The two of them continued on before Dorian screeched "I'M LEAVING"

to which Ben replied "Good, go!" 

Dorian exited his ship and started walking aimlessly through the dense forest. As she walked further and further in she lost sight of Ben's ship. She didn't care. He was a jerk and she wanted to be left alone. She eventually stumbled upon a clearing that had a rock formation and a small body of water. It looked as though someone made it. She knelt down by the water and touched it, running her fingers through the water, soothing her. 

She began to meditate, going deep within herself to find answers, about the wayfinder, or anything at this point. She was unsure of the time that she was there, but the sound of a twig snap, caused her to snap out of her trance. Looking around she didn't see anything, and figured it was an animal. Standing up she breathed in deeply, trying to dissect her sense of unease. Turning around she froze in fear. Five figures dressed in dark cloaks and mask, holding spears pointed at Dorian surrounded her. She instinctively force threw one of them, she began to fight them, but without out her saber she was over powered. She was knocked out and dragged off. 

Ben had an overwhelmingly sense of dread come over him. He found himself walking outside, and look for Dorian. He followed the same path that she went to the rock formation, and saw the drag marks. Closing his eye's he tried to connect with Dorian. He saw her, she was tied to a tree, bloodied and bruised, he could hear her crying for him, begging him to come save her."

Ben began to sprint through the forest using the force to lead him to her. Coming up onto a compound he saw Dorian, her head down and not moving. He couldn't see her moving, and feared the worst. Activating his saber, Ben ran in, fought and killed some of the members, while others scattered. He cut Dorian down who fell into his arms, and moved swiftly to get her back to his ship and off the planet. He laid her down on the floor while she quickly got the ship into flight. He rushed back over to her and cradled her head in his lap. "Come on, Dori, wake up" he said over and over, rubbing her face and checking her breathing. Her soft blue eyes finally opened looking up into Ben's eyes "You saved me".....
