Hello everyone and welcome to my first Star Wars fic. I got an idea to write this after watching the new movie. For starters, I believe that Rey is Luke's daughter. Since we don't know much about Luke in this new movie other than he lives in solitude after Ben Solo or Kylo Ren killed all the other new Jedi because he was seduced by the dark side of the force, I'll simply use Mara Jade as Rey's mother despite there being no mention of her. If you don't like this or haven't seen the new movie then please don't read this story as it contains massive spoilers. Anyway this takes place after the end of the movie where Rey finds Luke on an island on an unnamed planet. That's all you need to know for now. Enjoy!
CHAPTER 1:FATHER AND DAUGHTER MEET
Rey looked at the man in front of her, he had medium length grey hair and a short beard. His blue eyes met her hazel ones as she went to retrieve the item she'd brought with her. His face didn't change as he looked at the weapon she held out to him.
A small smile formed on his face, "I see you have found my lightsaber. I was waiting for you to come. The force is strong with you." he said gently.
Rey slowly walked closer with the weapon held out, "You are Luke Skywalker. I want to return this to you." she said getting to the point.
Luke slowly approached, "I want you to keep it. You'll need it." he replied simply.
She didn't understand, "You don't even know me. I could end up being like Kylo Ren and you trust me with this?" she asked.
He nodded, "Yes I do. You're mother would've wanted that as well." he said as a hint of sadness flickered across his face.
Rey nearly dropped the lightsaber, "My mother? You knew my mother? But how?" she asked shakily.
Luke stood short distance away from her, "I loved her very much before she died. She loved you more than you'll ever know. She was my wife I could say." he answered.
All the memories of her lonely childhood and more crossed her mind.
He sensed the memories of her forlorn past, "I am sorry that you had to live a like that. No one so young should have to fend for themselves like you did." he said apologetically.
She forced herself to stay calm, "So you're my...my...father?" she asked uncertainly.
Luke nodded slowly, "Indeed I am. I'm sorry for what I've caused you. After my nephew turned to the dark side and killed all the padawans in my New Jedi Order, I didn't feel like I was worthy to be a father. I couldn't even protect one family member from their dark fate. How could I protect my own daughter without a mother or the memories of my failure all around me? I didn't know what to do so I gave you to another family. I'm assuming from how they abandoned you on Jakku that I misjudged them greatly. I thought you would be safe, so I went into solitude from the rest of the galaxy." he explained with a sigh.
Rey was saddened by the news, "So my mother is dead? And you only left in hopes that you would protect me?" she said asked sadly.
Luke frowned, "It's unfortunate that you never got to meet her. I think you would've liked her. I only wanted what was best for you. I didn't want to lead you to the same path as Ben. However, I've felt how strong you are in the force. I'm proud of how much you've learned to control it in such a short period of time. I've also seen the battle between you and Kylo Ren through a connection in the force. You are a natural fighter and force wielder. After all, the force in strong in my family." he said with his smile returning.
The young woman just slowly began to smile back, "Thank you..father." she replied still grasping the situation she was in.
The last jedi brought his hands gently to her shoulders and brought to into a brief hug. While Luke wasn't bothered due to him knowing the situation, Rey felt somewhat awkward in the position.
He sensed her feelings and pulled away, "I think you'll get used to it eventually. I understand meeting family you never really knew for the first time. After all my sister Leia and I were separated at birth, I never knew my mother, and my father was Darth Vader." he told her.
It gave her an uneasy feeling that she was the granddaughter of a sith lord, but she was glad that her father wasn't the same.
Rey then remembered her reason for coming here, "I need to come back with me." she said.
Luke looked out to the oceans around the island they were on, "I told R2 to show you the missing part of the map for a reason. I wanted someone to find me. You came just like I had expected. I will be coming back with you to help my family and to make amends for what I have caused." he said turning back to her.
She smiled slightly, "Leia will be happy to hear that. I'll fill you in on anything you missed on the way back." she said heading towards her ship down below.
The old jedi knight followed at the same pace. This was the first step to stopping the First Order. Luke knew that if he could do it, then Rey could as well.
Once they got in, she started going through usual routine, "Ready to go?" she asked.
Luke gave a silent nod and they were off.
Okay that was the first chapter of this story. I know it was short, but it was just like a way to pick up where the movie left off. From here on out will just basically be a Star Wars fanfic based in the new trilogy. I'll be picking things up from the old EU to throw in as well since one the new movie is still in theaters and it's the only movie to get info from right now. Alright everyone I'll be going to bed now. Let me just say that the new movie was great and worth the watch. May the Force be with you.
