Breathe (TLJ Spoilers!)
Video note: Just found this and thought I'd share, plus it'd give you some imagines of scenes I will be retelling.
A/N: Some parts will be from the movie. Credits to Rian Johnson for said parts.
Rey's POV
I secured the strap around my thigh and glanced down, smoothing out my wraps.
I look up to the mirror only it isn't the mirror.
"Glad to see you dried off." He tells me. "That's a nice color on you." He observes my new clothes. "Darker than your past two outfits."
"Where are you?" I ask bluntly.
"Chasing the rebel fleet. We are nearing Crait."
Chasing the rebel fleet? I think to myself. He's going to kill them. I have to turn him.
I blink and turn my glaze to his questioning eyes.
"I'm coming to you."
A knock from Chewbacca draws my attention and I turn to the door, but look quickly back once more and swear I see a small smile, before he disappears.
Breathe. I think to myself.

I hold the lightsaber to my chest, as I wait to be launched from the Falcon and directed to the First Order, on Snoke's ship.
I'm suddenly released from the Falcon and see the dark shade of space around me from my small viewport.
I try to keep my breathing easy and steady, as I know I will finally see him in person.
A ceiling appears and I feel myself land. I can not see for sure who is around me, but know there is a "welcoming party".
The air releases a whiteish grey mist like fog around me and I suddenly know where to look.
Just like a force bond call, the misty fog clears and I find myself looking at him.
Looking into his eyes.
We stare at each other for a moment.
I'm surprised by his silence and furrow my brows in question.
The smallest hint of a smile and he walks off.
I glance to the troopers who steps forward. One shows a pair of handcuffs and opens them.
I swallow hard and the other grabs my arm, taking me from my pod.
I freely offer my hands in front of me and once cuffed, they take my saber.
One guard on either side and we follow in the direction Kylo Ren went.
It was Kylo who greeted me, but I could see Ben peeking through to me.
I could feel the conflict on what to do with me, now that I'm here.
We approach an elevator and he appears again.
"Leave us." He tells the guards and they had my saber over to him.
He accepts it and a the small smile peeks out again.
It's almost like a game to see if I can catch it.
He glances up to me and the doors open, drawing our attention.
He steps in, passing me, and motions me in.
I oblige, trusting him, because if there's any hope on me making it off this ship alive... it'll be with his help... and hopefully with him coming back.
Breath, I think to myself again, as we shoot up.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to Snoke." He informs me.
I swallow hard again. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you taking me to Snoke?"
"He's been waiting to meet you, since I interrogated you."
"You mean since you discovered I could use the force."
"Yes." He confirms.
"What does he think about me resisting you?"
He remains silent.
"What does he think about our duel?"
I can feel the tension build in the room and remember that this isn't why I'm here.
Taunting him is not going to resolve his inner conflict.
"How is your wound?" I ask.
"It's nothing."
I glance over my shoulder to see him already looking at me. I look back towards the doors. "Looks like it healed well."
"Thank you."
The tension dies down and I look up and take a breathe.
"Has he recovered?" He suddenly asks.
"What?" I ask, turning to meet his glaze.
"The traitor. Has he recovered?"
"I don't know." I turn and look down at my boots.
"Did you find what you were looking for?"
"When?" I return my glaze to him.
"After Skywalker interrupted our talk. You thought you'd find anwsers whenever you were. Did you end up finding any of them?"
"No." I give a slight shake of my head. "At least I'm not sure yet... possibly one." I turn my body to fully face him.
"What might be that one?"
I swallow again. "My belonging."
He blinks and tilts his head.
I take a step forward. "I think I know why the force is connecting us."
He steps forward closing the space between us."I feel it too."
He leans down and kisses me.
I kiss him back, letting this moment last before I have to face either certain death or we must run for our lives.
"Ben." I whisper, as we pull away.
"I'm still taking you to Snoke."
Anger sweeps throughout me and I turn away from him, stepping towards the door, ready to let my faith be decided by him.
I close my eyes and try to sense something, anything. Try to find his intentions with me.
Conflict is all I find.
And with his conflict, I know there is still hope.
"You don't have to do this." I tell him and turn my head some. "I feel the conflict in you, it's tearing you apart."
He doesn't look at me though. "Ben." I say grabbing his attention and fully face him again. "When we touched hands, I saw your future. Just the shape of it was solid and clear."
I quickly realize that maybe he hasn't seen his own future, like I did when we touched.
"You will not bow before Snoke." I step to him, once more.
He doesn't reply and waits for me to continue telling his future.
I glance to his lips for a moment remembering our kiss and knowing what he needs to hear, I tell him. "You'll turn."
He stays silent and conflict remains. "I'll help you." I whisper to him. "I saw it."
"I saw something too." He finally speaks. "And because of what I saw, I know when the moment comes, you'll be the one to turn."
I stay silent now. He saw my future?
"You'll stand with me." I stare at him, confused.
He's never lied to me before, why would he suddenly start now?
"Rey... I also saw who your parents are."
He knows... He knows who I am.
Of course he knows.
I take a step back away from him.
The doors suddenly open behind me, catching me off guard, after such a long elevator ride.
His hand lightly finds it's place on my lower back and urges me forward... to my destiny.

Kylo's POV
"Give me everything." Snoke tells Rey.
I glance up at Rey in the air in Snoke's grasp, as she says no, and for a moment I swear I hear her say my name. Not Kylo, but my real name, like she did in the elevator.
I can't stand to watch her in pain.
I did this to her.
I brought her here. I put her in danger.
I shouldn't have brought her her.
Rey screams in pain and it tears my heart in two.
I need to stop this... but with Snoke in my head I can't...
Unless... but how?
I close my eyes. Breathe, I tell myself.

Rey's POV
I stand at the viewport watching the Rebel Fleet slowly die.
"For you, all is lost." Snoke finishes.
Rage surges through me and I find power in it, like I have done before.
I break Snoke's hold on me and my feet land the few inches to the floor.
I reach out for Kylo's saber and it flies freely to me and ignites in my hand.
The guards around the room ignite their weapons and yet Snoke raises a hand to signal them to stop and smiles at me. "Oooh. Still that firely spit of hope." I breath out heavily and angry. "You have the spirit of a true jedi." He says, taking a stab at Ben and how he got him to turn.
I growl and charge at him, raising the saber to kill him.
I'm suddenly in his grasp again and flying through the air towards Ben.
"And because of that... you must die."
He tanks my body off the floor, twisting my bones to position me
My face drops, as he turns me to face Ben.
Ben's POV
"Heir apparent to Lord Vader." Snoke mocks me, once more... one last time. "Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve."
I glance to my resolution, Rey.
"Where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training and fulfill your destiny."
I pick up the once spinning saber and stand.
"I know what I have to do."
"Ben." Rey pleas to me, staring into my eyes, looking for me.
Looking for Ben.
- - -
Rey's POV
The saber splits in two, sending us both flying backward.
I land to the right of Snoke's chair, while Kylo to the left.
I stand ready for Kylo to take me prisoner, but instead notice him not regaining himself.
"Ben?" I panick. "Ben?" I rush over to where he flew. "Ben."
I find him unconscious, but breathing and sigh in relief.
I look around at the burning room around us.
I look back to Ben and brush his hair back from his face.
I stand and walk over to the guard's deceased body, finding his saber and taking it back to him, attaching it to his belt.
I see an escape pod and think quick.
I begin pulling on Ben's arm, dragging him to the escape pod.
He once took me unconscious, now it's my turn.
I drag him to just about where I was thrown when I hear the elevator approaching.
I look at the saber piece near my foot and quickly search for the other half.
Finding it, I dash back to Ben, trying once again to yank him to the escape pod.
The elevator doors open and I dash to the escape pod, hitting the button close.
"I'm sorry Ben." I whisper, as I'm launched back into space.
A/N: I am taking requests 😊
