Bound to you {Reylo}

-13-

-Ben-

I entered our bedroom, the automatic door opening for me and closing behind me. I quickly looked around our bedroom, I couldn't wait to share every night with her in this room. The bathroom was directly connected to the bedroom. Once again, an automatic door that opens and closes behind me. As I relieved nature's calling, I couldn't stop thinking about Rey... I used to think that love made you weak, now I know that although your passion is strong, you do indeed become weak. I feel weak and flustered when I am around her, but just because you become weaker when in love, that weakness is replaced by the strength of love itself. Who knew how poetic I could be in the bathroom. I was finally ready to uphold my promise to Rey. I exited the bathroom, the automatic door working just fine. When I got to the main door, the one dividing the bedroom from the rest of the base, it wouldn't open. I tried to get it open but it would not budge. I was about to call out for Rey, hoping she could offer some assistance or perhaps she was pranking me and she was on the other side of the door suppressing her laughter. Just as I was about to call for her, my voice was silenced by the sound of another voice behind me.

"Hello, Ren." I quickly turned around. There, on our bed, sat a woman. I had never seen this woman before, so immediately she was a threat. She looked older than me, but she was a very short and petite figure. She had long brown hair and brownish golden eyes. She wore all black and had a confident smile on her face. I ignited my lightsaber. I threw out my red one when I joined the light side, where it was replaced with a blue one.

"How did you get in here?"

"It is actually quite easy. You see, I am not actually here, so it didn't take all that much effort! You see Kylo, you and your chickide are what is known as a diad in the force. It means that you have a natural connection with her. That is why you can see her and she can see you, interact with each other, have conversations, even when you are planets apart. A natural diad is rare and only appears once in many generations, but artificial dyads, strong links in the force, can be done quite easily. I could be planets away, or on the other side of that door, and you wouldn't know."

"Why are you here?"

"For you, more specifically, Kylo Ren."

"Kylo Ren is dead! I killed him just like I destroyed the First Order!" She stood up from the bed.

"Oh, but Kylo Ren never died! You might have suppressed him, pushed him down so low that you yourself believe that he is gone, but he never died." She started pacing the room. "He still lives inside you, burning with the desire to be let out. Kylo Ren does not like to be contained. I can sense it inside you. The anger, the hatred, the dark side. You claim to be a Jedi, but inside, you know where you belong."

"Stop it!"

"You had it all Ren. Everyone knew your name. A name cemented in the pages of history, just like Darth Vader. People will remember the name Kylo Ren for years to come. You had it all, you had the galaxy in the palm of your hands!"

"No..."

"Yes Kylo, Kylo Ren, a name that people respect. You were respected more than any other being in the galaxy. Kylo Ren, the man as great as his grandfather before him. Ben Solo, not a soul outside the resistance knows. Ben Solo, the son of a pilot and a princess of a plant that doesn't even exist anymore. You can have everything back again." She got closer to me. "Come with me. With my help, you can be who you once were, regain what you lost, be who you truly are!"

"ENOUGH!" I raised my lightsaber closer, but the woman didn't react. "Fame means nothing to me anymore." She frowned.

"It's the chickide, isn't it?" She let out a small exhale. "I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. It's my ace in the hole, I was only going to use it if absolutely necessary, but if fame doesn't work... I guess I have no other choice. Rey has been lying to you."

"You're lying."

"Back on the island, when she was training with your uncle. She was tempted by the dark side of the force, it called to her. Luke warned her not to give in, but she did."

"You're lying!"

"Ever since then she has been on the dark side."

"You're LYING!"

"If I am lying, ask her yourself. Ask her about the cave of mirrors on Luke's island. Ask her how she found it. She will either tell you the truth, or she will lie to you. You will be able to tell in her eyes."

"If Rey is on the dark side, then why did she try so hard to turn me to the light side? If she is on the dark side she would have just joined me instead."

"Because of you. Girls love to be with men, most likely because we know that men are usually better than us. Rey wants to be the Alpha, and she knew that she wouldn't be able to do that with you in the way. So she converted you to the light, luring you in with false love and promises of a life of love with her. When you're making love, kissing her, or perhaps even just sleeping. She is going to off you *snap* just like that. You will look into her eyes, as she twists the saber, and wonder why she would betray you. She won't have remorse for you, you will watch her smile before feeling the icy cold hand of death around you. That is if she doesn't kill you quick enough that you won't even know of her betrayal."

"Rey loves me! She would never betray me and she would never turn to the dark side!"

"It isn't her fault, she was born into this decision."

"No one is born evil, I should know. Of all the people in this world, why her?"

"Because she is Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter." My blood ran cold at the sentence.

"Why should I believe anything you have told me?!"

"With proof. Test her, she has force lightning just like her grandfather. Push her over the edge, make her show you." She once again stepped closer to me. "Kylo, you've been stepped on all your life. By your own uncle, who tried to kill you. Only to be ordered and controlled like a droid by Snoke right after. Once Snoke was gone, you were free. Finally, you no longer had to deal with being trapped and trampled any longer. But you gave it all up to be stepped on worst of all by the woman you love. Come with me, and you will never have to be stepped on again." She held out her hand, just like I did to Rey... just like she did to me.

"No. I will never go back to the dark side. I have everything I need over here on the right side." She smiled and shook her head.

"No! Well, I think you might want to reconsider. Otherwise, your little chickadee might get hurt..." I couldn't hold back, I let out a yell and sound by lightsaber at her. She drew her own saber (whichI didn't know she had), blocking my blade with hers. The blade...red. I looked into her eyes, brownish-gold...they were too familiar.

"You're a sith, you're working with Palpatine, aren't you."

"It took you this long to figure that out? I'm impressed."

"I thought that the sith died with me!" She got extremely close to my face. Close enough for me to feel her breath.

"Oh Kylo, the sith will never truly die." I could hear her laugh as she disappeared, causing me to fall forward. I retracted my lightsaber. At that moment, the bedroom's automatic door, which was stuck less than a minute ago, slid open with ease. I could hear voices echoing through the empty rebel base. My heart sank into my stomach. Oh no... Rey....
