She was a scavenger. He was a stormtrooper gone rogue. She was waiting for the family that would never show. He was running to save himself. Through some twist of fate, they met each other and set a chain of events that would decide the entire fate of the Force. My first attempt at a fanfic, so bare with me please. And if you haven't watched the movie yet, SPOILER ALERT. Looking for a beta as well.

She remembers every moment and every emotion she felt during the battle at the Starkiller base.

The fear of being locked up by Kylo, the slight thrill she got when she overpowered him when he tried to probe her mind and when she mindtricked the stormtrooper into releasing her and dropping his weapon, the fear of being caught by Kylo and his stormtroopers again, the joy of seeing Finn and Han again, the horror when she saw Kylo killing Han, the rage she felt when Kylo caught them before they reached the Falcon, the helplessness when she saw Finn duel against Kylo and lose, the rush of adrenaline when she was able to use the Force to bring the lightsaber to her, the anxiety when she was unable to get an advantage against Kylo during their battle, the serene feeling she got when she submitted herself to the Force for guidance, and the ruthless joy she got when she finally beat Kylo as the planet base split apart, separating the two of them.

Rey sighed. She looked across the ocean, pondering these events. While at first she was excited to have finally found Luke Skywalker and glad to find someone who could teach her the ways of the Jedi, as time when on, the experience was beginning to look rather disappointing.

She had to plead with Luke to teach her the ways of the Jedi, at which in the beginning he straight out refused. Refusing to leave the planet until he taught her, eventually he relented and took her in as his student.

In the beginning, her training had been good, she had to jog around the ruins of the island, with a loaded pack and her athleticism and reflexes were definitely being improved, but she was finding it hard to fully accept his teachings.

She wanted to learn how to wield a lightsaber, how to control the force and use it to her ability so that she could never feel as helpless or as terrified as she was during the battle against Kylo.

One of the first lessons that Rey was taught by Luke was to be in control of her emotions, which unfortunately was proving to be a truly tough task on her part.

'Be in control of your emotions, don't let them cloud your judgement,' said Luke. 'Fear, anger, hatred, aggression. Don't let your emotions control you, control them.'

She tried truly, she tried so hard to control those emotions but she couldn't help but feel those emotions.

For years she was on Jakku, she constantly waited for her family to come back and rescue her, she felt fear in them never showing up, she felt anger every time she went out to the wrecks and scavenged for parts only to not even be compensated fairly for all her labors, hatred at her situation and at Kylo for killing Han, Han who was like the father she never had, and when she remembered her fight with Kylo, all those emotions reared their heads.

She never wanted to be in that state again and if Kylo was still alive, she had to be sure that she was ready this time to deal with him and the First Order.

Unfortunately, her training with Luke was not going smoothly, he refused to teach her the ways of the lightsaber or how to use the Force until she controlled her emotions.

'Rey,' called out Luke, shaking her free of her thoughts and anguish. She thought of Finn again, concerned for his wellbeing and hoped he was alright and that she could see him again.

Rey took a deep breath and left her room going to see what Luke wanted.

Meanwhile, somewhere across the galaxy

Kylo dropped to the ground, complete exhausted by his training with Snoke while Snoke looked at his student with bare disgust and disappointment. Snoke knew Kylo was useless, he was held off by a stormtrooper with no training with a lightsaber and was beaten by a girl who had zero experience with the Force.

'That girl has potential,' thought Snoke. 'If the boy is unable to improve, perhaps a replacement is required to truly herald in the new age of the Sith and help me take full control of the Galaxy. But until then, the boy's limits will have to be pushed.'

'Get up, you miserable brat,' snarled Snoke sneering at Kylo.

Kylo tried to get up but his body hurt too much. He had to be better, he had to do this. He had to prove himself to the Supreme Leader and he had to get revenge against the girl who defeated him.

So this was my first attempt at a fanfic. Hope y'all liked it. Leave a fav or a follow if ya did, and leave comments on what I need to improve on. And also looking for a beta, now idea how to get one but if any of y'all are interested message me or drop a comment. And if I accidentally spoiled the movie for anyone my baddddd.
