After the destruction of the Starkiller Base of the First Order, the Resistance is celebrating its victory while some are mourning over the death of Han Solo. Thanks to the re-awakening of R2D2, the final piece to the map to Luke Skywalker has been retrieved, revealing Skywalker's location in the galaxy. Rey has agreed to travel with Chewbacca on the Millennium Falcon to the designated location in hopes of bringing the Jedi master home.

Meanwhile, the severely injured Kylo Ren has been rescued by a First Order starship. Although General Hux has been ordered to bring Ren to Supreme Leader Snoke, the ship is unable to make the trip due to some damages and lack of fuel. To guarantee a safe trip back, the ship has had no other choice but to discreetly land on D'Qar, somewhere outside of the Resistance base undetected. The First Order crew plans to rob the base of the necessary fuel and supplies to escape D'Qar as soon as possible. However, there are other serious matters on Kylo Ren's mind than getting back home… Some so deep that they stumble on the most controversial ideas ever imagined….

~ooo~

"I knew it….. I knew it from the moment I first sensed her….. The Force…. She can wield it….. Her power, though…. It's like wild fire….. It flourishes and spreads within her at an alarming rate….. She's becoming too much…. And no one can stop it now…

"She is my sworn enemy now, no doubt…. A daughter of the Light Side, that which repels me….

"And yet, she draws me in….

"Such strange desires…. Where do these come from?...

"Is she doing this to me?... Is it the dark side?...

"These feelings…. This thirst…. Perhaps they are not coincidence at all….

"Perhaps it's really because….

…

"No…. it couldn't be… But wait…. Yes… Yes, wait a minute….

"Yes, I see it!... I think I see it now!... I think I understand!...

"It makes sense to me!...

"But… Am I sure it is so?... How will I find out?...

"There is only one way….."

~ooo~

Kylo Ren slowly opened his eyes, his vision going from blurry whiteness to clarity, revealing the sight of a plain, pure white room. The only thing contrasting against the sight of the pure whiteness was the face of General Hux, gazing blankly down at him. Ren blinked and stared, turning his head a little, slightly moving his fingers. After recollecting his senses, he could sense that he was on the bed.

"Enjoyed your little nap, sir?" asked the general.

The male on the bed groaned. "Well, same as always. But resting is all I can really do at the moment."

"I see," replied Hux, arms behind his back. In a half-joking understatement, he continued, "Almost thought you were dead for a moment. It would have been such a disappointment if that happened. A while ago, we went through the strife of just barely saving you from base, you know."

"True," replied Ren, flashing back for a moment to the point after his defeat on the surface of Starkiller Base. He could remember lying on the cold ground in pain as if it were literally ten minutes ago. The blow from Rey's lightsaber stung like fire. But at that time, what overshadowed the physical pain was the pain of failure. How could someone on her first day of using the force be able to defeat a Sith with years of experience? Every Sith lord would have stood there laughing at him if they had seen the fight. Ren did not dare picture what his grandfather Darth Vader would have done after seeing such a pathetic defeat.

"Your wounds. How do they feel?" Asked Hux.

Ren snapped out of his thoughts and focused on his wounds, which were now dressed with white bandages but very well taken care of. He moved his shoulder slightly, then his torso. "Only a little pain, but not bad," he replied as he looked back up at the general. "The opioids from earlier work well."

Hux raised his light-colored brows a little, nodding. "Good. The medical unit did a great job healing you. The physician said you can move around now if you want to, but nothing overly vigorous."

Slowly, Ren made his way into a sitting position on the bed, facing the other male. By looking up into the other man's blue eyes, Ren could already tell that Hux was not as intimidated by him as usual. That was no surprise. Ren was in nothing but a plain cotton shirt and pants, with his cloak, mask and everything else off. It was rare for any other being to see Ren without any of his dark apparel on. And that was for a good reason—without it, Ren feared none of his subordinates would take him as seriously. If he was to be a deadly and powerful Sith, he had to look like it, too. Yet here he was, his real visage revealed, the visage of a mere young man desperate to be powerful. As if he could possibly feel any less like a Sith at the moment. "What time is it, general?" asked Ren, trying not to make it obvious that his current condition was putting him off.

"About sunset."

"And when do our men plan to sneak into the Resistance's warehouse?"

"In about a few hours, once most of the base is asleep and off its guard. And thankfully, we already have some spies within the base, so that's more of a security breach for the Resistance and more aid for us."

The raven-haired Sith lowered his gaze, feeling a little bit of relief until the general brought up the Resistance. His eyes popped open a little wider. Quickly, Ren tuned into the force, trying to sense the presence of someone in particular. Once the reception came back positive, his heart jumped a little in his chest, for he was remembering what he had been contemplating to himself so deeply for the past few hours.

"That's all the news I have for you at this time. Is there anything else I can do for you at the moment, sir?"

Ren paused for a few seconds before looking back up into the other's eyes. "There is one thing, general."

"And what is that, my Lord?"

"A very huge favor. But an urgent one…. One of great importance."

"I'm listening."

"General, before I explain,…" The male stood from the bed slowly, staring face-to-face with Hux. In the softest and darkest voice he could muster, he spoke to him, "The things I'm about to tell you? You better keep it all a secret between us. And the things I'm about to tell you to do? You better do them without hesitation…"

~ooo~

"Bring this tea to Miss Rey down the hall, would you? And tell her it's on General Leia."

"Certainly," said the red-skinned alien female as she took the small silver tray from the cook. She turned the other direction and walked out of the kitchen, turning a corner and proceeding to the individual quarters of the base.

Once the female was alone and had come halfway down the hall, she looked around before stealthily leaning against the wall for a minute. She was just next to the doorway to Rey's room, and she was listening quietly to ensure the young woman was there. Her full black lips curled into a small smirk when she heard subtle sounds from the room, announcing Rey's presence. The alien quickly reached into the pocket of her brown tunic, pulling out a tiny orange tablet. She dropped this tablet into the rose-colored tea, letting it dissolve completely. Looking back up and pretending as if nothing happened, she proceeded and stood in front of the doorway.

Rey was on her small bed, deep in thought and trying to recover from the overwhelming day she just had. Going from a nearly hopeless scavenger from Jakku to a newly discovered force-sensitive hero was exciting, but it was a lot for her to digest. On top of that, she was still grieving over the loss of her friend Han and worrying about the present condition of her other friend Finn. Lastly, after having discovered that she was force-sensitive, she knew that she had a very long way to go in regards to better understanding and handling her new power, adding to her anticipation and stress even further. Quite honestly, she was still not feeling ready to deal with her power. Not yet. And once she started, she only wanted to do just a little at a time. "Just one step at a time, Rey," she whispered to herself, trying to keep herself and her emotions together.

"Miss Rey?"

The brunette looked up and turned her head, seeing the other female standing in the doorway. "Hello," said Rey. "Can I help you?"

"General Leia requested for us to bring you some evening tea," replied the alien as she walked into the room. "Picked fresh from the Khaldun flowers."

"Oh. Thank you." Rey smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "Just set it on the table."

The red lady set the silver tray on a small white table beside Rey's bed. The female turned to walk out of the room, but before she went out the doorway, she faced the human female with a soft smile. "Please enjoy. And have a good night, Miss Rey."

"You too," replied Rey, smiling back and taking the ceramic cup from the tray.

The alien nodded and left. As she continued down the hall, her generous smile turned into a slightly more devious one. "Believe me, dear… You'll need your rest," she whispered sinisterly.

In the bedroom, Rey was gazing down at the little cup of tea in her hands. The tiny bit of steam rose from the cup and gently caressed her fair face, comforting her a little. With a peaceful gaze, she brought the tea up to her soft pink lips, sipping slowly. The tea was fruity and sweet, but the taste was a little different from what she remembered. Something was odd about the after taste, but Rey assumed it was because the tea was made from fresher leaves.

The girl continued to sip on her tea until it was all gone. When she was finished, she set the cup back on the table. However, when she looked at the tea cup, she noticed that her vision was suddenly slightly fuzzy. Her head was beginning to feel slightly cloudy as well, followed by a rather sudden feeling of weariness.

"W-what's wrong with me?..." The drugged young woman looked down at her hands as she continued to feel progressively more groggy. "Maybe…. I really do…. Need… to get to…. Bed." As she said this, she laid herself down on her soft bunk bed, resting on her side with her head on her arm. Seconds later, the helpless female was completely sedated on her bed.

~ooo~

"I have a very bad feeling. Are you sure this is going to work?"

"It will. Believe me."

"You realize she's going to want to wring your neck when she wakes up, right?"

"I'm quite aware of this."

Hux grumbled and looked down at the sedated Rey. The woman was currently bound to an interrogation chair. She certainly was not going to be interrogated, and the restraints were a little more than what Ren preferred. But they needed something to keep her restrained, at least for a little while, so the chair just had to do. Regardless, the general still felt as if having Rey here in the ship to begin with was a waste of time and effort, considering the "secret" that Ren told him earlier. It was tedious enough for the First Order members to smuggle Rey out of the base without being detected. Tonight, they needed to focus their efforts on getting their ship going and getting themselves out of enemy territory. Yet here was the fearsome Kylo Ren, worrying about nothing but some petty personal business with a girl. Yes, she was force sensitive and working with the Resistance, but not even an interrogation was to happen to her tonight. So why was she even important right now?

"Is everything else ready, general?" asked Ren, who was now back in his normal black uniform but without his helmet. He was sitting while briefly reading from a small red book but was now looking at the other man, the book closed in his lap.

"Yes," said Hux, his gaze being captured by the book in the Sith's lap. Since when did Kylo Ren ever read for leisure? Subtly, Hux squinted, focusing more closely on the object to read the book's title. About a second later, he was looking back at the unconscious woman, pretending he did not see. He arched his brows, feeling surprised and slightly awkward. Ren was reading an erotic book.

"Something wrong, Hux?" Ren's voice was low.

"No, nothing."

Ren glared at him, remaining silent.

To break the awkwardness, Hux quickly turned to face the Sith again, acting more serious this time. "Listen, sir. If you even succeed in doing this, you need to get this over with as soon as you possibly can. We have to be off this planet before sunrise, or we will get detected. And if she is still in the ship by that time, we will have no choice but to bring her with us."

"No. We can't bring her," said Ren.

Hux furrowed his eyebrows at his reply. "What are you saying? She's with the Resistance now, you know. We have an enemy right here with us in captivity. She could have information that we need. Furthermore, Supreme Leader wanted to see her for himself, remember?"

"I know that," snapped Ren, "but now is not the time."

"Sir, forgive me, but there are more productive things we can do with this girl tonight instead of—"

"Enough questioning me, general." Ren's voice was a little louder with frustration. His hand was extended outward to Hux, using the force to restrict his breathing a little as a warning to keep his mouth shut. After a few seconds, he released him, letting the currently startled general regain his breath. Ren walked up beside him, his hands behind his back. In a calmer but slower voice, he explained to him, "She is useful for many things. But now is not the time. When this night is over, she must be returned to the base as if nothing happened. After the destruction of Starkiller Base, the Resistance probably believes us to be dead. Their guard must be down while we escape without a trace and go back to prepare. Any sign of us, any at all, and they'll stir again. Even the girl's mysterious disappearance in the night will spark suspicion and cause an uproar if they find out.

"Now, if you will excuse me, General Hux, I must now speak to this woman. Leave us, and make sure the amnesia serum is ready."

Saying nothing, the general nodded and left the room via its sliding doors.

"It's time," said Ren. His dark eyes looked at the small white medical droid next to Rey's chair. "Now, wake her."

With its slender mechanical arm, the droid brought a small syringe to the woman's arm. After the needle penetrated her skin, the clear drug-containing serum was slowly injected into her body. Once it was empty, the syringe was withdrawn, and the robotic arm folded back into the little mechanical body.

A minute or so passed before Rey finally made a slight movement. Her hand flinched a little, and her slender fingers slowly curled. With a louder breath, her head turned a little. Then, slowly, her eyes opened up, her consciousness fully restored. And at that moment, the very first thing she saw was the pale face of her captor.

"We meet again, Miss Rey."

Rey blinked several times, widening her dark brown eyes at the sight of the Sith. Was she having a bad dream? She thought Kylo Ren was surely gone after what happened, but this seemed too awfully realistic to be another nightmare. "Y-you…. But how?" she whispered in shock. She tried to move but realized she was held in place by metal. The coldness of the restraints against her skin awoke her senses even more, and her heart started to race. This was real. She was right here, once again held captive with the terrifying Sith in her presence. With a mix of fear and anger, she struggled harder, shaking the interrogation chair a little, gritting her teeth. "L-let me go!" she shouted at him. "Dammit, let me go!"

"Calm down," he ordered loudly.

Rey obviously did not obey him. She continued to struggle a little more as rage started to overcome her fear. Had she not been placed in the interrogation chair in her sleep, she would have surely tried to attack him at this moment. That monster. He should have perished on Starkiller Base. He should not have lived. Not after the horrors she had seen him do.

Getting more frustrated by her reaction, Ren had no choice. Shooting his hand outward, he used the force to hold Rey's body frozen in place.

The interrogation chair stopped shaking as Rey was held as frozen as a statue. Nevertheless, the girl continued to show her anger and disgust with a glare at the black-clad man. "You are going to regret this," she said to him through her teeth. "The Resistance will come for me."

"I highly doubt they'll do that tonight," said Ren. "Right now, they don't even know you're outside of their base, so don't expect any help anytime soon. Besides, you don't need their help right now."

"What do you mean I don't need their help?" She snapped. "I'm being abducted at the moment, for God's sa—"

"You are not being abducted," the Sith quickly replied, "nor are you going to be killed, tortured, interrogated, or anything else of the sort."

"Oh, right," the girl said sarcastically. "Because holding me in this chair against my will is definitely not considered abduction."

Ren scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Okay, fine. But I'm not going to do anything horrible to you."

Rey raised an eyebrow, still in disbelief. "What?..."

"I said I'm not going to do anything horrible to you."

"Do you really expect me to believe that?"

"Of course not. That's why I had no other choice but to smuggle you here and hold you in the meantime until you relax." After he said this, he released Rey from the force, once again bringing his arm back down. "But it's the truth. As of now, it's not in my interest to do anything harmful to you. That's not why you're here."

Rey's face softened a little more, but she was still up on her guard and confused at his words. "Then why did you bring me here?" she asked.

"You'll find out shortly," he answered. "But for now, you will do everything exactly as I say. Behave, and you will remain unharmed and be returned to your base soon enough."

Rey said nothing to him. Was he feeling ill? This was certainly unlike a Sith or a First Order member. Maybe she really was still dreaming. Regardless, she was beginning to calm down and to grow more curious by Kylo Ren's behavior.

"But first,…." Ren walked to her side and up to the small control panel on the interrogation chair. He pressed a large red button, triggering the chair's metal restraints to fold up, freeing Rey. The girl sat up, rubbing her wrists for a moment and looking down in surprise. Her head turned to her right to look at Ren with a look of disbelief. Still, she said nothing. As insane as this was, she could somehow tell that he was actually not lying or tricking her at all.

Oh good. She's not gouging out my eyes right now, thought Ren. We're getting somewhere. "Now Miss Rey, come with me," he said, turning to the sliding doors of the room. The doors slid open as he began walking towards them, and he turned his gaze behind him, cuing for Rey to follow. With only a couple seconds of hesitation, Rey got off the chair slowly, setting both feet on the cold white floor. She stood up and followed without a sound. Where were they going? What was Ren about to do with her? One thing was for sure: Rey had just gone from being Ren's captive to being Ren's guest.

The two people exited the interrogation room and entered a dark, dimly lit hallway within the ship. Their shoes clicked against the metal floor, producing a slight echo throughout the hallway, adding to the eeriness of the place. Rey followed just behind her dark host. She did not dare try to escape by bolting in the other direction, and she strangely did not feel the need to anyways. A bizarre curiosity and eagerness was looming within her to see what Ren was up to. After turning a corner or two, Rey soon realized that someone else was following just behind her. Startled, she glanced back, seeing General Hux following right behind them. Her fear stirred involuntarily for a second, but she calmed down again when she figured that Hux was in on this, too, based on Ren's indifference to the general's presence.

Ren finally stopped at a chrome door at the end of a hall. There was a small panel of buttons on the side of the door, which he reached out and pressed, causing the door to slide open. The Sith quietly turned his body to face the other two behind him, gazing at Rey and expecting her to walk in. Rey glanced back at him and then walked closer to the doorway. She took a glance at the room. It was a simple bathroom, with a large stand-up shower in the corner, accompanied by a matching white toilet and sink. This bathroom was honestly not bad looking and fairly clean. However, Rey was even more confused.

"First, you will wash up in here and get dressed," said Ren to the girl. "Make yourself presentable. You will meet with me when you are finished." Ren walked past her and stopped beside his fellow First Order member. "Wait right here for her, and make sure she doesn't take long in there. Escort her straight to me when she is finished." After Hux nodded to him in agreement, Ren continued to proceed down the hallway and left them be. Rey was gazing at Ren up until he was out of her sight.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go on," said Hux to the girl, walking closer to her and ushering her into the bathroom.

"What does Kylo Ren want with me?" asked Rey as she stepped into the bathroom, Hux right behind her.

"You'll find out soon enough, girl," he told her. "Just do as he says."

Rey walked over to the large shower. The shower walls were made of a cloudy glass, with a door made of the same glass. What soon distracted her from the look of the shower, however, was something on top of the toilet right next to it. Some sort of black fabric was neatly folded up and placed on the toilet. Beside the toilet on the floor were some matching black dress shoes. When Rey walked over to examine the fabric further, she grabbed it and held it up, gradually unfolding it. In her hands was a casual black evening dress that draped down to her ankles, with long lacey black sleeves. Even though the dress looked elegant, Rey's confusion and surprise grew all the more. "What is this?"

"What you're wearing for tonight," said Hux as he stood in the bathroom by the doorway.

This did not make Rey happy at all. On top of her confusion, she was slightly disgusted. Rey was certainly not girly. Most importantly, she absolutely loathed wearing dresses. "Do I really have to wear this thing?" she asked with her lips slightly snarled.

"He demands that you wear it," Hux told her firmly.

"I won't."

"And why not?"

"I hate dresses."

"Doesn't matter. You will wear it, or you will meet with him naked. Your choice."

"Alright, fine. I'll wear it," Rey grumbled as she set the dress back down on the toilet.

"Good girl. Now get ready." Hux then exited the room, the bathroom door sliding shut behind him.

After Hux left the room, the girl let out a sigh and began to undo the knots in her hair. Her dark brown hair fell a little past her shoulders in soft gentle waves. She began to undress, dropping her clothes to the floor. Next, she entered the shower and turned on the hot water, proceeding to wash her hair and body. After about 5 minutes of washing herself, she finished and turned off the water, grabbing a towel that was hanging over the edge of the shower wall and wrapping it around her body. When she opened the door and stepped out, she saw that her regular clothes were off the floor and were gone. Realizing that Hux had done this while she was showering, she scoffed and gritted her teeth. "Well, fuck you," she muttered under her breath.

Rey dried her body and hair in front of the mirror above the sink. Not sure what to do with her hair, she simply decided to let it down, even though she generally liked keeping it up in knots. She seemed to have no choice but to look more feminine in front of Ren tonight, so she figured she might as well try to look pretty.

Sighing, she looked to her side at the black dress. Reluctantly, she grabbed it, stepping into it and slowly slipping it over her hips and then her torso. Her slender arms slid into the black lacey sleeves. The dress was low cut and just off of her shoulder, with an almost completely bare back, but it was still fairly modest. However, the dress was rather form-fitting from the hips upward, showing off her true figure without exaggerating or hiding a single feature.

After smoothing out the dress a little and smoothing out some locks of her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror. This was probably the most feminine or the most cleaned-up the young woman had looked in years. And in truth, what she saw in the mirror was not disappointing at all. Even though she always looked tomboyish, Rey was always naturally attractive. However, from head to toe, dressing this well had exaggerated her natural beauty even more. The dress revealed that she was slender but somewhat curvy. Her chocolate hair framed her lovely face well, and a couple of strands dangled gently and beautifully over the black pools of starlight that were her eyes. "Well, alright," Rey said to herself. "I guess this isn't too bad." Quickly, she slipped her feet into the matching black shoes on the floor.

Hux knocked on the bathroom door. "Are you almost done in there?" he asked. "Come on, finish up already."

Rey turned to the door. "I'm finished," she replied.

The bathroom door opened again, and Hux was standing at the doorway. When he saw Rey, he was silent for about three seconds. When he opened the door, he had a look of impatience, but now that he was looking at her, his gaze quickly turned into one of slight astonishment. The woman's elevated attractiveness had instantly caught the man's attention.

"What?"

"It's nothing." Hux snapped out of it and scratched his cheek. "Now, let's go. Kylo Ren is ready and waiting for you." And he's going to be quite happy when he sees you, thought the official.

Rey stepped out of the bathroom and accompanied the general, the bathroom door closing behind them. Gently taking her by the arm, Hux escorted the girl down the dark hallway. The hallway was still dimly lit, but this did not prevent the general from noticing the silhouette of Rey's figure from the corner of his eye. I always thought she was kind of cute to begin with, he thought to himself, but damn, who knew this girl would look so good when she's dolled up? After thinking this, Hux was beginning to find himself somewhat jealous of Ren. What was about to happen would only take place with the two of them alone, Hux not included.

Finally, Hux and Rey came to their destination, where the girl was to meet the Sith. The two of them stood in front of two large white doors at the end of a much larger hall. Beside each side of the doors were two soldiers, standing silently in guarding position with their guns. The sight of them made Rey a little anxious once more. "Well, here we are," Hux told the girl, releasing her arm. "This is as far as I can go. Kylo Ren awaits you on the other side of those doors. Again, do everything he says, and no tricks. It's for your own good."

Rey was too busy looking straight forward at the doors, swelling with a mix of emotions once more. On the other side, she would find out why the heck she was here tonight. She was already coming up with a mix of wild guesses based on what she was already asked to do, but as much as she tried to guess, she was not going to know. Not until she actually entered into the other side.

"Don't be shy now. Go in," said the general, gently moving her toward the doors.

After taking a deep breath, Rey obeyed and slowly walked towards the doors.

"Oh, and… Miss Rey,.."

"Yes?" Rey turned her gaze back to Hux.

To her disbelief, Hux was wearing a wide, sly smirk across his face. "Make him happy, will you?"

"What?..."

Hux turned around, saying nothing else, and walked down the hallway, turning a corner. He was still wearing the sly smirk on his face, even out of Rey's sight. "Maybe this night isn't going to be such a waste after all," he muttered to himself quietly. "Perhaps I should…. 'check' on them shortly…"

The general's strange behavior sparked more anticipation inside the girl. Again, she turned around and faced the doors. Okay, she thought. Let's get this over with. As her pulse rapidly sped up, her palms slightly sweating, Rey walked up to the doors. Accordingly, they slid open for her and closed behind her once she was inside.

Rey stopped and took sight of where she was.

Her breath almost completely stopped.

WHAT… IS…. THIS?...

~ooo~
