Spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the force awakens yet. This is under the presence that kylo ren and Rey are related, as cousins. This is an odd ship kind of relationship. In the sense that incest kind of relations don't actually affect them since their grandfather had been born without a father, and it kind of puts them 'above' that in a way.

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

They were a product of those actions. Rey stood in front of Luke extending her arm out to him holding what could possibly be this universes destruction or its salvation. Luke's blue eyes stared into her eyes from across the clearing, in a way that made her muscles scream to react. To prepare for the worst to come and yet her other senses, the ones that reacted to the swirling energy field around her told her to stay calm, to look into the soul of another who had felt so much pain and to open her own soul up to take that pain and harness it. After what felt like hours, the wind shifted, and Luke turned away from her.

"You shouldn't have come." Luke said, his back now to her, his cloak blowing away from the cliff edge he now faced.

"I didn't have a choice." Rey responded, calmly, still holding his light saber, out towards him, the same way one would hold a knife, the blade towards the holder. A peace offering, an ultimate trust.

Luke extended his arm outwards, away from both of them, and the light saber shot out of Rey's hand towards his. Rey felt, more than heard, the contact of the light saber handle hitting Luke's hand. Where it belonged. She could feel his emotions from the other side of the clearing, could feel his words more than could hear them over the sound of the wind that picked up.

"You wish to be trained? To do what? Defeat an evil that won't ever die?" Luke asked, eyeing her again, she dropped her hand to her side, the energy field pulsed, and moved with the wind, singing the answer that she felt was right.

"Not to destroy the evil, but to live equally, in balance, beside it. Isn't that what being a jedi is all about? Keeping balance, and balance can't happen without one or the other?" Rey yelled into the wind, letting it carry to Luke, it's blowing drowning out the sounds of the ocean far down below them. Her clothes were flapping in the wind, her dessert clothing blowing wildly, whipping around her ankles.

He nodded, that was an answer only the wisest of people seemed to understand, that good can not thrive without evil, and evil can not breathe without good. "You have followed the force to this second of your life, you made the choice to keep following the force until it dropped you off here. You didn't have the choice you claim, but you did. Though that choice was hiding forever on that dessert planet you were dropped off on, or to follow your destiny to this point." Luke gestured out towards the water, before walking down a small walking path on the edge of the cliff. It hugged the jagged edge and he disappeared from view.

Had Rey not been watching she wouldn't have seen where Luke had gone off to. She quickly followed him, ignoring the hairs raising on the back of her neck. The energy field she had come to trust swirled in joy, as it pulled her towards Luke, in a way that was similar to the pull she felt towards the general and towards Kylo Ren when he had triggered the brunt of her energy. Still that pull was there, towards the general, towards, Luke, towards Kylo, as it had once pulled towards the now departed Han. Rey darted after Luke down the cliff edge, her scavenger skills giving her the advantage she needed to scale this path. There was a bend and she watched his cloak flap from the other side for a moment before disappearing again, she was indeed catching up much faster than he must have prepared for because she was suddenly right on his heels as he rounded another bend that went into the mountain face and down into the mountain itself.

Once inside out of the wind and the mist from the ocean, Luke sat down at a small sitting area in this cave inside the mountain. "So this is how you were able to hide." Rey said, sitting down across from him, Luke had placed the light saber on the table between them, as a barrier almost.

"There is something I need to tell you, about who you are." Luke started out, ignoring her statement, waiting any longer to tell her the truth could damage her even more than she already was.

"You know about me?" Rey said, remembering the comment about being dropped off on the dessert planet, it had made her hair stand on end and made the energy swirl in rage.

"Yes, I know of you, I would of came for you sooner, but it had become too dangerous to bring you back before now." Luke said, watching her eyebrows furrow together in confusion, he could feel the force around move in such a powerfully organic way, pulsing and beating like a heart, but roaring and strong like the ocean just outside.

"Tell me the name you go by."

"Rey" she said quietly, almost afraid to let it escape the room. As if it was also not what she remembered, as if that wasn't who she was after all.

"Rey, I left you on that planet, to protect you, from your cousin, who now calls himself Kylo Ren. I'm sure you already had an inkling of who you really were, I can feel it in the force around you."

"I'm.. a Skywalker." Rey put her hands on the knees of her crossed legs, and leaned her head forward. The 'force' as Luke called it, swirled in a way that felt like it was battering against her insides, pushing her emotions in every direction, like the wind across the field above them. Changing directions without warning, only getting stronger as she continued to sit across from her 'father', who seemed to be watching the force as it raged against her insides. All the rage she felt for being left behind for so long is what kept her going on that dreadful planet. That planet she had called home for so many years; all that work suddenly meant nothing.

She looked up at Luke with tears in her eyes, a stray one dripping from her eye down her cheek onto the floor. Luke looked back at her painfully until he looked away.

"It was meant to keep you safe. From him. You two, were odd. Not twins by birth but by the universe, by the force, by the power in all the worlds suddenly forced together and then ripped apart to become two separate people. Born from my sister and I blood, at the same time in opposite sides of the galaxy." Luke spoke, looking up towards the ceiling of the cave, or more towards the universe up away from them.

"You can feel the links between all of us, even before you met us, you could feel it pulling you towards all of us, in all different directions, each part of you screaming to be near who you belong by. You were always much more attuned with the force than Ben was, while he was stronger with it, it didn't speak to him the way it spoke to you. In the violent manor it pulled you towards people, places and things you never had any connection with before." Luke continued on, looking at her face again. Tears streaming down her face, and her eyes full of pain, if it was just her pain it was hard to tell, but her face collected, steeled.

"We monitored you at first on the planet, we were worried that the sudden drop of your connection from every one would drive you insane. But it didn't, you seemed to thrive in the location that only small things survived in, so we believed that to be where you belonged, and yet you came back. By whatever reason you're here before me, with a war in your heart and your mind, about who you are, and what your purpose is to be. Maybe that's why Ben went to the dark side. Because his opposite half became so engulfed with the light side, it left him with no room."

"Tell me, what has happened." Luke turned his eyes towards her, forcing her to gulp and start the tale of what brought her to be in front of him. It was a long story, and she had to stop every few minutes to chug down a glass of water he would offer her. She continued to have tears in her eyes and on her face as she talked about what happened. And once she got to Kylo killing Han, she stared towards the ground, tears starting to fall even harder. She had been absorbing everyone pain around her at the base once they had returned. The general, Luke's sister, had put on a brave face, joking that Han wouldn't want her to cry about him. But Rey could feel her sadness pulsing through the energy field around her. Rey had tugged on Leia's sadness until flowed around her instead of directly inside of her.

Luke stared at her as she continued her tale, of how the planet, StarKiller, had exploded, as she fled with Chewy, and Finn in Han's favorite ship. She told Luke how she hopped Kylo Ren died on that planet but Luke gave her a knowing look, they both knew that he didn't. For if he had then that pull she had towards him would have disappeared like it had for Han the moment before he fell off that platform into the bottomless pit that had been below him.

Rey had hoped for Kylo's death because then that pulling towards him would have left her. It was always there, dragging her towards him in a way that made her sick to think about. That pull had always been there, but she didn't know to who or to what before she had encountered him in that forest. Before that moment the pull was quiet, and as he came into her field of vision it had exploded inside her, like the wind blowing, it raged suddenly. She wondered if he had felt it in that moment too. Or if being the opposite he had felt not a longing, but a loathing. Instead of a pull, it was a push. Like a moon orbiting a planet, its speed pushing it away, while the planets gravity pulled it towards its center at the same speed it was flying away. Forever stuck in an orbit it can't hope to break.

Would that become them? Forever connected but forever fighting?
