*Ben's pov

I grab Rey by the shoulders, and hold her out in front of me so I can look her strait on in the eyes.

"Rey," I say, oddly calm. "You need to tell Luke, if he hasn't already figured it out yet."

She looks at me, a stubborn expression of defiance blossoming over her surprised one. 

"No."

"You have to go!" I slightly shake her.

"I'm staying with you." She says, steadily holding my gaze, seemingly unfazed by war raging around us.

I smile at her, a pull her in for a kiss.

"Go." I whisper, and this time she nods and turns away, but not before pressing a small blaster securely into my hand.

"Keep this with you." I have to read her lips, the noise of the cannons blasts, obscuring all other sounds.

I watch her brunette haired head disappear in the hustling crowd, then hurriedly re-jump the wall, and weaving through trees, make my way to the ship, slashing at the crowd of foes with my now activated saber. Fear begins grinding at my insides even more as I come closer to the lowering First Order ship.

It lands, and out walked my least favorite knight: Ezra Ren. The feeling of hatred between the two of us was most definitely mutual, considering he'd tried to leave me at a battle sight countless times before. 

The moment that Ezra left the sanctuary of his ship, he was strolling in my direction.

"Kylo!" his voice rang out loud and clear above all the other noises of the battle. "I finally get permission to kill you!"

I gulp hard, afraid that the light was truly less powerful than the darkness. I had, after all, not felt the power coursing through my veins since I'd turned, when I had all the time while being a knight. 

"And I you," I yell in return.

His sharp, mocking laugh carried to me as he came closer. My knuckles began turning white on the hilt of the saber in my grasp. He stopped his advance about ten feet away from where I stood just outside the treeline.

"So, friend," he stressed the word, "are you prepared to die."

Ok, I am extremely sorry about the, um, non-updateness of this last week. I've been really absorbed with writing this one book with my friend, Elephantelle, called Hide and Seek, but I  promise that I have been putting a lot of thought into how I want to end this story, and I must say, I think that I have one that will have you all on your knees begging for a sequel. MUAHAHAHAH!!!

I love you all! :)
