Rey is left as a child on Jakku. She dreams of an older boy that helps her survive. The dreams stop until someone made an offer too vile to speak of and a dark figure brought justice for her. Somehow she knows, he did it for her. The bond had been silent until today. Today when she unknowingly called out to him from her fear, confusion and pain. Oh, how he had wanted to just go to her then and take her away from that wretched planet. But it was too soon. They needed more time to reconnect, for her to accept him. He was no longer Ben Solo, he was Kylo Ren, Master of the Knights of Ren and heir to Lord Vader. He needed to be secure in his power before he could go to her. Just as the Dowuton thug was about to touch her, his enormous body flew through the air. His massive hands grasped his throat and he was choking and sputtering. Rey sat up and tried to get air. She felt Ben's fury, she heard his thoughts. It was swirling and dark. How dare he touch her, try to desecrate her. He would not touch something as sacred as that. That was his to touch, his to worship. "She is mine!" Then Rey saw him. He was wearing his black clothes and cape, she knew now who he really was, the dark figure from her dream, Kylo Ren, but she didn't care. He snapped the Dowuton's neck with the force and threw him far into the distance. When she calmed, he put his cloak around her and made her a promise.
