Pendulum

Summary:

In the eyes of Snoke, she was a prize.
In the eyes of the First Order, she was a superior.
In the eyes of the galaxy, she was a monster.
In the eyes of Kylo Ren, she was perfect.
In the eyes of the Force, she was the Chosen One.

All Avelyn could remember in her life was the presence of the Dark Side; the need to know the power behind it. She was Snoke’s faithful puppet; carrying out orders left and right. To destroy the Republic and the Resistance was all she knew to do; the path she chose to take.

But the Force moves in mysterious ways and she found herself looking at another path; a less evil one. And she didn’t know what to choose.

Because the Dark Side is the right path, isn’t it?

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

"There's been an awakening."

Supreme Leader Snoke looked at the hologram of Kylo Ren, his apprentice. The young man stood solemn as his master leaned forward a bit. "Have you felt it?" Snoke waited patiently for an answer as he felt Kylo through the Force. The light was calling to him again and the Supreme Leader narrowed his eyes slightly as his apprentice answered.

"Yes."

------------------------

Snoke pressed a button and the hologram of Kylo vanished. He had much to think about, much to plan out and it had to be done carefully, had to be precise. The future was unknown, even to him, but that didn't mean he couldn't help shape it to be in his favor.

A presence slowly spread at the base of his skull, a slight thrum echoing in his mind.

He straightened up. There were few who felt like that in the Force when around and he only knew of one who would be so daft to approach him. He turned to look beside himself as they moved. A dark figure, emerged from the shadows, stopped in front of him at the base of the platform which held his throne. He watched them carefully and asked the same question that he already knew the answer to.

"There's been an awakening. Have you feel it?"

A feminine voice spoke from the darkness within the figure’s hood.

"Yes."
