The Lost Princess (Resistance!Ben x reader) - Chapter 2

Summary: Ten years ago, you were able to escape the First Order’s infiltration of your home planet of Hathov, yet it didn’t stop them for trying to find you. When the Resistance got their hands on the next map piece that they were slowly putting together, it led them to you. You’re cold. Ben is cocky. It’s not a good mix. But there might be more than meets the eye about the two of you.

Words: 1.9k

Warnings: Nothing extreme

(Chapter 1)

You lead everyone out of the cave, all with weapons drawn and keeping senses high. You're focused as you move through the bushes and trees, the four others trailing closely behind; they follow every movement that you make, trusting you and your knowledge of this planet.

Finn notices certain markings on a few trees, looking like they're used for target practice, and with how you seem to be trained, he won't be surprised if it is your doing. You stop moving, holding your hand back towards them, hearing footsteps. You load up the bow and aim the head of it out in front of yourself, moving carefully. The second you turn a corner, you're met with the white suit of the Stormtrooper.

“There!” he shouted, being able to only get the single word out before your arrow flies, hitting him directly in the chest. Quickly, the rest of your group moves, pulling out their weapons as a handful more appears around you.

Blasters from both the Stormtroopers, Finn, and Poe are being shot left and right while Ben and Rey are using their Force powers as well as their lightsabers, and you continue to shoot and reload the bow with such speed and agility. You feel your senses heighten during the battle with the members of the First Order as more and more start to show up while you all move through the forest. The Resistance ship is in view, giving some sense of home to the ones who belong to it. Many X-wing fighters currently help to get the Stormtroopers off of your backs. Ben deflects every blaster shot sent his way with his lightsaber, he isn't close enough to get one Stormtrooper to fall at his feet, but he's getting there.

“Ben!”

At his name being shouted, he looks to see you standing with your bow drawn. “Get down!” you shouted. He listens, bending down and you loosen the arrow once it is clear. It flies through the air, successfully hitting the trooper in the back of the head.

Ben stands as the rest of you finish off the enemies. “Let’s go, quickly,” Rey said. You all take off running towards the Resistance ship, she and Ben send all First Order members flying using the Force, getting them out of the way as you get on the ship.

Rose runs up to you all, quickly scanning her eyes over your bodies looking for any possible wounds. “Is anyone hurt?”

“No,” Finn replied. “This is Faye, she’s the one that sent out the distress signal. Ten years ago.”

Rose blinks in surprise. “Oh, uh, wow. Sorry about the delay. We hadn’t received it until now.”

“What’s done is done, it doesn’t matter,” you said. Even though you say that it does matter. Many parts of you wish that they came once the signal was sent out, but what was done, was done. You can't reflect on that.

You look at Rey. “Where’s your base located?”

“D’Quar,” she responded. “We should be there soon. I can show you someplace to rest if you’d like,” you nod at the offer, the two of you leaving down the hall with the other four watching.

“She seems…interesting,” Rose observed.

“You can say that again,” Poe muttered, pushing past them.

You're quiet and calm, and you know how to handle yourself in a fight, you even saved Ben. It intrigues him. You intrigue him. He has never met someone like you before, especially considering what he assumes your background is. There has to have been a reason why you were hesitant to accept their help, but then decide to agree. He will find out, no matter what. He is determined to do so.

After landing on the Resistance base, you're brought by Rey to the General, introducing the two of you and she explains everything. General Organa welcomes you to stay, which you accept as you have no other choice. Even though there are plenty of people to talk to, you still feel like you have to keep to yourself. No one knows who you are or where you come from, and you're afraid to tell anyone of your history as there is a major risk to people knowing who you were before escaping to the planet.

“You’ve seemed to have adapted well.”

You recognize the voice. It's deeper than the other two men that you have met from the Resistance, which makes you put a face to it. “That’s what I’ve learned to do,” you replied, continuing to tie the stone heads to more arrow sticks that you had gotten your hands on.

“I’ll say,” he muttered under his breath, not going unheard by you but you don't bother. “I recognized your armband. Not many people wear them. At least ones of that style.”

You freeze the second he says that he recognized the piece of jewelry. It sends you into a panic. You thought no one else knew what the armbands look like. The fact that he knows what it looks like, not only that but had somehow seen it on you, scares the hell out of you. There is nothing that can prevent him from saying anything to anyone.

You clear your throat, trying to make your moment of panic go unnoticed, continuing to pull on the string to make sure it was tight enough around the stone and the stick, adding a shrug. “A vendor had it. I liked it so I bought it.”

“I think you and I both know that’s a terrible lie.”

You sigh, dropping your hands, and look over your shoulder at him. “And how would you know what they look like?”

Ben let his arms uncross. “Before becoming General of the Resistance, my mother was the Princess of Alderaan. I grew up being dragged to events where I saw many women and young girls wearing those types of cuffs. Certain types of them actually.”

You stand, keeping your hand clutched around the wood as you approach. “Look, I know who you are, Solo. I knew the second I saw you. If you think you’re gonna get anything out of me about my past, you are dead wrong.”

He simply shrugs. “I didn’t say that’s what I wanted. I just wanted you to be aware that everyone else might not have noticed or known what it was, but I do. Kind of like the jewels on your face, as well.”

There's something about the slight cockiness to his tone that annoys you. It's like he already thinks that he knows you but he's wrong if he thinks like that for even a second.

“I appreciate you and your friends taking me here with you, I do, but I really would’ve appreciated it more if you were ten years earlier.”

“Well like Poe said, Tunov was located in the Unknown Regions. It’s hard to receive signals from out that far.”

“That was the only place that I was safe. You don’t know what hell I’ve gone through, Solo. The fact that I’m standing here alive is a miracle at that.”

You move back over to your belongings, loading up all the arrows that you have put together as he continues to speak. “We need you out there, Faye. You’re a great archer. There aren’t many out there who know how to do what you do.”

You throw your quiver across your body and bow over your shoulder, turning back to him. “No. I can’t go on missions with you guys. I may have held my own during that Stormtrooper fight but that was easy, they barely have any idea of how to shoot one of those blasters. If anything I’d much rather be working here, keeping to myself and not following orders from some jackass who doesn’t know what they’re doing.”

“Considering that I’m the Sergeant here, that does sting quite a bit.”

You scoff a laugh. “Good, if that’s what it takes to take down that cockiness of yours then I’m glad it did.”

The two of you hold a look for a moment, studying the looks that you each have and the looks in your eyes; that cockiness is still in his while your frustration is deep in yours. You close your eyes, taking in a deep breath, trying to control yourself from shouting at Ben. Your eyes open to look at him once again.

“Listen, I spent almost all of my life listening to orders and being the good, obedient little girl, but ever since I arrived on Tunov, that’s really not my thing anymore. So unless you go to a planet such as the one that I spent ten years getting to know while I was waiting for your people to come to rescue me, then do not expect me to join you guys any time soon.”

After you finish your speech, you push past the man hitting your shoulder with his own as you pass, walking away while he stands there watching as you do. He wouldn't say that you had a temper really, but you certainly are fiery. You don't take anything from anybody at least not anymore as was made obvious.

Leia had been watching your conversation from afar, noticing how you had become slightly hostile towards her son. She comes up to Ben’s side, both of them still watching your back. “How’d that go?” she asked.

Ben sighs. “Not too well, if I’m being completely honest.”

“Well, there’s always time.”

He glances over at his mother. She always looks so put together with no matter what mood she's in or where she is, that's one thing that always impresses him. “You saw the jewels on her face, right? She has an arm cuff too. Like the ones that I saw at the events that you dragged me to.”

“I certainly didn’t see you complaining when there were young princesses there your age,” he can't hold his smirk back at her comment. Whenever he does that, he looks just like his father at least that's how Leia feels. “Just give her some time, Ben. She’s been alone for ten years, it takes some getting used to.”

“Rey warmed up quickly to us,” he reminded.

“Rey is different. When you go searching for the next piece of the map, take her along. Use your father’s ship, I’m sure that might appeal to her.”

Ben is quick to deny that idea. “I don’t think I could do that. I’m not ready to fly it.”

“Yes you are, you know it and so do I. Ben,” she turns to him after saying his name, grabbing his attention as well, “he would want you to. He probably would like her.”

He lets out a scoffing laugh, looking down at his feet before back up and towards the ship they were talking about. “Yeah. I think he would too.”

They might not have been close, but Ben does miss his father. Everyone does. Every time that Leia looks at him, she sees Han. Ben not only had his looks, but also his personality which includes the cockiness that always bothered her, yet, she loves both of them dearly and misses her husband every day.

“General, Sergeant,” Connix said, approaching the duo. “We have a new report on the next piece of the map.”

That's all they need to hear to follow right behind her.

A/N: I’m adding those who were wanting to be in the tags now since I just started this blog and this isn’t showing up in the tags just yet. I promise it’s me y’all 😂

The Lost Princess (Resistance!Ben x reader) - Chapter 1

Words: 1.6k

You always feel like you're running. Running away from something, whether that be by actual people or even yourself. From the very beginning, you were taught that you won't have to deal with things, there will always be people to do things for you, and now you see the clear irony in that.

The woman working behind the table hands you the fruit that you asked for, responding with a soft “thank you,” and you're on your way, moving through the crowd of people into the forest.

You move the vines covering the cave that has become your home over the past ten years. You take the quiver on your back off, along with the bow, placing it down against the rock wall then you sit on the floor. Being alone is different, something that you're still not used to, and probably something that you will never get used to; going from a life of extravagance, friends, families, and parties, to a life like this was a big change.

Every night you have nightmares of that day. The day that your home planet was infiltrated by the First Order and you had to be dragged out of the castle and into one of the fighter ships with the General, flying out to the planet that you currently live on. Constantly there are moments where you wish that you can rewrite history and change everything, but that's impossible, no one can do that. That's something you have to get out of your head and accept your reality no matter how hard it is.

The minute the X-wings landed, the fire and repair crew run over to get to work on any damage done to the ships as the pilots climb out. As her friends congregate together, Rey walks over to them to ask about the mission. “How did it go?”

“I think it’s pretty obvious,” Poe replied, Rey rolls her eyes at the sarcasm that was laced in the sentence. He's always difficult with her.

She looks at the Sergeant next to the pilot for a real answer. “We got another piece of the map. This should lead us to find what the First Order is looking for.”

Rey nods, Ben takes off leading them down to the underground facility part of the Base. The members of the Resistance hoped that they can reach whatever the First Order is searching for before they did. For months they have been following every move that the other is making, and now they're finally one step ahead and it was all thanks to Sergeant Ben Solo.

Some might think that Ben Solo has it easy with gaining that title in the Resistance, given that his mother is the General and she can promote or demote as much as she pleases, but he only got that title because of one simple thing: he deserves it. He has worked hard to become the skilled fighter that he is now, his closest friends had seen it, onlookers who thought they knew him didn’t but he doesn't care what others thought. He knows who he is. And that’s all he cares about.

“Rose, what do we got?” Ben asked, walking down the stairs and over to the round screen that's instilled on the ground.

Everyone gathers as the hologram of the map comes up. “It’s a planet near the Unknown Regions called Tunov,” Rose explained. “There’s a signal coming from here,” she zoomed in on the place she was talking about that now was flashing red.

“Who could it be?” Poe asked.

Rose shakes her head. “We don’t know.”

“So, it could be someone from the First Order setting us up,” Finn said.

“Or it could be someone in trouble,” Rey added, contradicting what Finn has said.

“Whatever it is, we need to get there before the First Order,” General Organa said. Everyone’s eyes fall on Ben as he is focused on the hologram in front of him, not noticing until the pause in the conversation.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, deciding if it was a good idea or not, he nods. “Let’s go.”

Being alone often has its advantages. You have freedom. The freedom you didn’t have while growing up. After living in the forest for so long, it's so familiar like the back of your hand; you even set up spots for training.

You run on the dirt path, bow in hand, and hair whipping along behind you. You step on a log on the ground, launching over it, and landing on one knee. Your hand goes behind, and you're quick to start loading the bow with arrow after arrow, hitting each target that's set up. While you grab the arrows, the sounds of ships fly by ahead. You look up and recognize the silhouette that quickly passes by. A swear is let out underneath your breath and you're on the move back to shelter, freezing as you hear voices. You crouch behind a boulder and try to listen closely.

“The distress signal is closer,” Rey said, watching the way the coordinates change. You slowly and carefully pull out an arrow, loading the weapon once again while moving around.

Something quickly comes flying by the four, sending all into high alert. Ben and Rey whip out their lightsabers while Finn and Poe do the same with their blasters. The group looks behind them seeing that what had flown by, finding that it was an arrow. It couldn't have been a First Order member. They have never used bows and arrows before.

“Who are you?”

Their heads turn back in front of them, looking up as you stand over their heads on the boulder, bow drawn and defenses high. Ben takes the time to look over your appearance, or what he can see of it. Your top is purple, with what looked like tears on the hem of it. Pants that cling to your hips and legs, and boots that make their way up to your calves. Your face isn't visible to them via the current lighting, your head is covered by a hood that is attached to a long grey cloak, the only thing visible was strands of hair that came out of the hood.

“We’re with the Resistance,” Rey said, a calm undertone to her voice. “We got a distress signal from someone out here.”

You scoff. “If that’s true then it sure took you a hell of a long time to get out here. That signal was sent out ten years ago.”

“Not surprised considering where this planet is,” Poe said. You roll your eyes at the remark. Once his sentence is finished, there are blaster sounds that makes them all look but you don't retract the aim on them. The footsteps and blasters get louder, sending them into a bit of a panic.

“Look, we need to hurry,” Finn told you. “Come with us back to the Resistance Base.”

You shake your head. “It’s too late. They’ll find us if we take off,” you said, finally letting your grip fall and put the arrow away. You bend down, placing your hand onto the rock for support as you jump off. “Follow me, we’ll hide until they leave this part of the forest.”

You lead them to your shelter, being big enough to fit all five of you inside the cold cave. It's obvious, at least to Rey, that this is where you currently live. The situation is similar to her own only a few years back before being taken in by the people she now considers family. There's a lot about you that reminded Rey of herself.

“How long have you lived here?” she asked.

“The same amount of time as that distress signal was sent. Ten years,” you replied, pulling the hood off of your head which revealing your entire features, half of your hair being tied up in two buns at the top of your head.

Ben notices the blue jewels sitting on your face and when you move your arm, he gets a glance of a thick gold arm cuff that wraps around your tricep. The jewelry is familiar to him. He has seen plenty of those in his time. They're usually worn by princesses and queens around the universe. If this was any other sort of situation, he would bring it up and ask you, but now is not the time to do that.

Not long after you all get comfortable, Poe’s commlink went off, which he takes in private before returning. “That was Rose,” he said. “She said if we want to get out of here, we have to leave now.”

You shake your head. “There’s no way. Going out there right now is a death-wish.”

“Look, they’re here. We have pilots already out there, as long as we move quickly and quietly we’ll get out of here.”

“And you don’t know this forest as I do. I know every square inch of this place, if you go out there blind, you’ll either get captured or killed. Or both. So either you wait here with me until this clears out, or you go out there. It’s your choice.”

You're getting fired up and Rey can tell. She has to bring you down and maybe you will help them get out of here. “You should come with us. We trust the Resistance, and you should trust us. You said it yourself, you know this forest. You can guide us through while we find the ship.”

You're hesitant. But looking at the faces staring, there's a voice inside that tells you to do it. It is the voice of Marks who had helped you through learning how to survive this way. You had trusted him with your entire life and there was a feeling that he would tell you to trust them if he was with you now.

“Alright. But you follow me the entire way,” you replied, standing while putting your hood over your head once more. They stand as well as you grab your weapon. “Also, my name’s Faye.”

Rey smiles. “I’m Rey. This is Ben, Poe, and Finn.”

You nod in acknowledgment. “Let’s go.”
