&& GENERAL HUX:

The worst kinds of coupling: youth and the force. Such young people believing they were indestructible, that they knew everything there was to be known in the universe. No longer children with the simple change of a solar day. It only took one mistake for their confidence and world to come crashing down around them. Perhaps he could provide this girl the clarity she so desperately needed.

“The Jedi.” Obvious disdain, perhaps a hint of laughter, drifting through spoken words. Hux didn’t know where to start on such a topic, her mind being as set as it was already. “Did such a legend keep you from giving into the ease of death on Jakku?” He knew the planet well, living among the sand as a child as well, of course with the old Imperial lifestyle, nothing like that of a scavenger. Each with its own challenges.

“Where were the Jedi then to protect you?” The First Order will be remembered for as long as history continued and what was the Jedi and the Sith and the Force but a whisper on the wind?

            BUT IT’S BECOME REY’S EXPERIENCE THAT THE YOUTH MIGHT JUST BE THE VERY THING THAT THE GALAXY NEEDS . A lesson from a misguided , cynical teacher served to teach the young jedi that the religion wasn’t gone –––– not yet . Leia Organa had taught her a different lesson , as well ; hope was something rebellions could be built upon . Hope could get them through the terror brought upon by the reign of the FIRST ORDER . This general , Rey concludes with a weary look , cannot possibly understand what it means to have hope .

                     Perhaps she’d been there a time or two , but Rey had never truly given up that hope . 

           LIPS CURL AT THE SIGHT OF GENERAL HUX’S MOCKERY , SCOWL SET INTO PLACE AMONG TANNED FEATURES . He didn’t know the life she led on Jakku ; he could guess , but he couldn’t possibly know the extent of it all . He couldn’t possibly understand her struggle to make ends meet , days on end spent scavenging for any salvageable pieces that might be worth enough food for the day at the bare minimum . He couldn’t possibly understand the desperation to hold onto the hope that her family might still show up . One day . 

          HIS QUESTION CAUSES CONFUSION TO FLASH ACROSS HER FACE . Rey blinks once , brows knitting together until a crease forms between them . ❝ I didn’t need protection , ❞ she’d fought for what she had , spent each day surviving an environment that most children on their own would’ve succumbed to . She hadn’t . ❝ Why do you hate the Jedi so much ? Give me an honest answer –––– I deserve as much , don’t I ? ❞ Her tone is demanding , an approach she hopes he might ( at the very least ) appreciate for the effort .

&& KYLO REN:

@forcewoken  ♥’d for THIS starter

                  Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. H i s s.

                  Kylo’s labored breathing was demonized by the feral synthesizer of his helmet, resembling that of a hissing nexu. It eliminated any sense of stealth he could have mustered in the moment of his chase, but it did not matter now. He could feel his prey, and he knew his prey could feel him. Even if he was quiet, she would be able to sense him, still. There was little point in feigning otherwise, so he trudged forward, and sought her out with the Force.

                    He did not even bother to reach for his lightsaber as he tracked her. His knuckles were tightly clenched at his sides, and swung with each long, striding movement he made. His black cape trailed behind him, swaying in the wind that whipped and whistled through the trees. He could barely feel the nip of it through his thick attire, but he knew it all too well.

                  Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. H i s s.

             " Rey ! ” Kylo bellowed.

              SHE CAN SENSE HIS PRESENCE AS THOUGH IT WERE A STORM CLOUD , looming over her with the threat he poses . Rey , somehow , knows each move he makes as he makes them ( but never before ) and it’s what prompts her forward still , feet colliding with the ground in her effort to put as much distance between them as possible . But there was only so far that she could run , and if she could sense him as if he were standing there next to her , there’s little doubt in Rey’s mind that he’s capable of doing the same . Panicked breaths cause her chest to rise and fall rapidly and unevenly as her back meets the thick base of a tree , lungs begging for oxygen the organs had been deprived of during her attempted escape .

             NO , RUNNING WOULDN’T DO HER ANY GOOD , SO REY READIES HERSELF INSTEAD . Hands grip the base of the lightsaber that wasn’t hers ( yet its true owner refuses to claim ownership ) and she surveys her surroundings cautiously , gaze assertive to each movement within her view that might alert her to where , exactly , he’d be coming from . A whispered plea is the only sound to mix with her breathing and the wind , eyes squeezing shut for only a second before she seeks him out once more . ❝ Don’t do this . Please ,  ❞

Hey so I’m really sorry about anyone still waiting on a starter from me but because of how old that starter call is now , I’m going to be dropping what I owe for it. I am so sorry, personal things came up and then I didn’t have any ideas for said starters.

Anyway, please don’t let this discourage you from writing with me ! I’d still love to write with you all .

&& KYLO REN:

          “Why did you leave me that day? On that ship with the fire? Leaving me to die? Why did you not join me, we could have created something worth saving, not a Resistance, or a First Order, but something in the middle, something balanced. I thought that was the whole point of being a Jedi, to bring balance to the force.”            In his hands his head sat, twirling his saber in his hand as her spoke to her, eyes parting up from the sword to her own eyes.                “Are you frightened?”

        SHE TREMBLES UNDER HIS GAZE , LIPS PRESSED INTO A TIGHT LINE . Whatever answer it is he seeks from her , she won’t give it . Shouldn’t it have been obvious why she’d done what she did ? Rey had tried to get through to him , had gotten her hopes up only to have them crushed by his offer the moment she’d started to believe he could truly be changed . Rey’s expression tightens and she tears her gaze from his , focusing instead on the weapon in his grasp . 

                                        ❝ You know why I left you there . ❞

       AND YET , HIS NEXT QUESTION TAKES HER BY SURPRISE , evident in the way she flinches away from it , as if the words were tangible enough to do physical harm to her . Was frightened truly the best word for the way she felt anymore ? She’d been frightened on Takodana when he’d approached her , cloaked and wielding a weapon foreign to her . She’d been frightened again when she and Finn had faced him on the Starkiller Base . But she hadn’t been frightened when she first truly embraced the one thing that had always been inside her ––– she hadn’t been frightened when she embraced the Force during their battle that same night . No , frightened wasn’t the right word for ti at all . 

                                       ❝ No , ❞ she whispers , ❝ I’m not frightened . Not anymore . ❞

“ I love you. With all my heart, I love you.” B))))

V FOR VENDETTA MEME ↳ ACCEPTING

      LIPS PART AND TEARS THAT REY CANNOT JUSTIFY BLUR HER VISION . Blinking hastily to rid herself of the intrusion , the girl watches the boy with widened eyes as she struggles for words . Those three words were something she could not recall having heard , ever . She’s certain that her family had uttered them before they’d left her on Jakku –––– the lack of memory is trivial to Rey , for what parent wouldn’t tell their child that they loved them ? Still , it takes her off guard , a foreign feeling invading her chest and tightening her stomach . He loved her , but it wasn’t just that ; he loved her with all his heart . Surely that wasn’t to be taken lightly . ❝ –– Ben ? ❞

❛  what doesn’t kill me better run.  ❜

❛  she wasn’t looking for a knight. she was looking for a sword.  ❜

❛  don’t dehumanize bad people, because it’s their humanity which makes what they’ve done so terrifying.  ❜

❛  she isn’t just pretty. she is otherworldly and vaguely threatening.  ❜

❛  magic is not good or evil. is a knife evil? only if the wielder is.  ❜

❛  I don’t want your crown. see, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down.  ❜

❛  they broke my wings. they forgot I have claws.  ❜

❛  all that blood was never beautiful, it was just red.  ❜

❛  what do you do when there’s no hero in the story? simple. you kill the monster and crown yourself.  ❜

❛  how terrible it is, to love something that death can touch.  ❜

❛  you may not be interested in war, but it is interested in you.  ❜

❛  I feel divinity in my bones like aching. like fire.  ❜

❛  you make me feel and I don’t like it. I want it to stop. now.  ❜

❛  you are losing my interest and that is very dangerous.  ❜

❛  she will burn your kingdoms down, herself with it, if it means your ruin.  ❜

❛  it’s okay to be scared. it means your about to do something brave.  ❜

❛  she looks like divine absolution.  ❜

❛  I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find and impossible to forget.  ❜

❛  be careful with words. they can be forgive, but never forgotten.  ❜

❛  you not wanting me was the beginning of me wanting myself.  ❜

❛  I’m tired of fighting. for once, I want to be fought for.  ❜

❛  never run back to what broke you.  ❜

❛  I was quite, but not blind.  ❜

❛  your gut knows what’s up. trust that bitch.  ❜

❛  do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.  ❜

❛  I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, wishing it was a donut.  ❜

❛  you can miss something but not want it back.  ❜

❛  you can’t save people, you can only love them.  ❜

❛  I came, I saw, I made it awkward.  ❜

❛  we buy shite we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like.  ❜

❛  you’re always one decision away from a different life.  ❜

❛  my brain has too many tabs open.  ❜

❛  I’m not saying I hate you, just that you’re like the Monday of people.  ❜

❛  there’s no ‘we’ in fries.  ❜

❛  apology accepted, trust denied.  ❜

❛  death and I have been scandalously intimate for some time now.  ❜

❛  life happens. coffee helps.  ❜

❛  I am mine before I am ever anyone else’s.  ❜

❛  I rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony.  ❜

❛  very early in my life it was already too late.  ❜

❛  is that a threat or are you flirting with me.  ❜

❛  was the use of force necessary in completing your objectives?  ❜

❛  I’ll let you drag me to hell if it means you’ll hold my hand.  ❜

❛  I do bad things, and I do them very well.  ❜

❛  you drink too much, you cuss too much and you have questionable morals. you’re everything I ever wanted.  ❜

❛  they will kill you, but first they will have to catch you.  ❜

❛  drugs might kill you but they’ll never break your heart.  ❜

❛  good girls are just bad girls that haven’t been caught.  ❜

❛  a pretty face doesn’t guarantee a pretty heart.  ❜

❛  no airbag, we die like men.  ❜

❛  true evil is, above all, seductive.  ❜

❛  it takes more courage to suffer than to die.  ❜

❛  you must be lucky to avoid the wolf every time. but the wolf? he only needs enough luck to catch you once.  ❜

❛  justice is vengeance in prettier packaging.  ❜

      REY CAN’T POSSIBLY BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS HE SEEKS FROM HER . Comfort , possibly ? But she barely knew him , and she doubted there was really anything she could say that might ease any of his suffering . Her gaze lifts to meet his , lips twitching slightly into a frown as she utters two words : ❝ I’m sorry . ❞
