TFA spoilers!
Alternate universe where Rey hits the tree much harder in the final battle. She doesn't wake up to fight Kylo.
Fear clawed around inside my mind as I awoke. Breathing fast, I propped my aching body up with my elbows and my eyes darted around the room. It was small, dark and I was on a bed. My thoughts were racing as I tried to remember what happened for me to be in this situation. I saw trees and thick snow as I closed my eyes but that was all my memory allowed me to view for now. A low rumble from what sounded like an engine filled my ears. I must be on a ship- a small one for that matter as I could feel movement.
My eyes drifted down to my body. I was wearing my scavenging outfit which just managed to cover up a layer of bruising down one side of my body. Then I remembered. I was flying through the air after attempting to shoot the monster (Kylo Ren). He obviously didn't appreciate me trying to end his life. My thoughts flew back to Finn, where was he? Was he safe? Is he even alive? My panic ended when I heard someone keying in a code at the door. Senses alert I watched in anticipation.
I gritted my teeth when I saw who decided to pay a visit. His dark clothes and emotionless mask was instantly recognisable: Kylo Ren. He stepped cautiously through the doorway and although I could not see his eyes I knew he was staring at me.
"How are you feeling?" His question seemed abnormally gentle. His tone reminded me of that when I was being interrogated.
"Where's Finn?" My voice quivered but I remained strong looking as I sat upright. 'You mustn't appear weak' I recited in my head.
He cocked his head to the side.
"You still care for the traitor? If you must know he's right next door but it's up to you to decide where he goes next,"
Questions once again filled my mind. 'What did he mean?' 'Is he alright?'. I looked down as I attempted to compose myself. Taking a breath, I spoke again in a less wavering voice.
"Why am I here?" I asked. My eyes moved towards the mask and wondered if he was enjoying my discontent.
"You are here because you are strong with the force. You have potential to do great things." He sat down on a nearby bench and tilted his head towards me. "With my guidance you will do great things." He announced with a spark in his voice. "We, at the first order, are offering you a deal. Your friend is weak. Without proper medical care he will surely die. We can provide him this medical care but only if you allow yourself to be trained,"
"In the darkside…" I finished his sentence with a whisper.
"It seems you understand," He added.
I hugged my knees to my chest. I needed comfort right now. Finn was next door dying while his fate rested in my hands and even though he presented me with a choice it seemed I had none. Even if I were to refuse he would likely kill me and then Finn's death would follow. I wanted to think about it. I wanted him to leave. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. The time for deep thought was not now. I had no idea how bad Finn's condition really was. For all I knew he could only have a matter of minutes.
I gave him a look of hatred before parting my lips.
"Heal him," my decision was made and he stood up.
"Good, I'm glad you see things our way." His fists were clenched as he left the room leaving me to my thoughts. I had made my choice and now I had to suffer the consequences.
