Enjoy!
Chapter One- Choices
"You need a teacher…." His deep voice resonates deep in her being.
They were face to face in the rain, their light saber's crashing against each other in a stalemate. Kylo knew he was winning.
All Rey's energy was focusing on not falling, not getting lost in his deep brown eyes. She knew he was right. If Luke wasn't going to teach her then who would? She eyed him the tiredness that she felt started to seep through her bones.
Kylo Ren could feel it too. He knew she was weak but she could be strong she was extremely strong in the force like him and he wanted to be the one to teach her. "I can show you the way." He almost whispered, his voice sultry and deep. She didn't want to join the dark side. She was pure light and good. He knew that. He wanted her to join him but he would have to woo her and show her the way. It would be a journey he was willing to take. She was all good and kind like his grandmother Padme. In fact, she reminded him a lot of her in the pictures he still had. No one knew this but he kept one single photo album of his family members before they all deserted him. The rain seemed to pour harder as she thought. He loved those beautiful green brown eyes. He could easily get lost in them.
. Rey knew they had a special bond. She felt it deep in her bones. Something happened back on the ship and she couldn't explain it, didn't want to. Sighing something in her told her to give in. Trust him. She finally sighed letting exhaustion take over and looked at him. "Okay." She said through the crack of lightning. The storm immediatley seemed to ease up a little bit.
He faltered. He didn't think she would actually agree. "Okay what?" He asked he almost reached out to catch her because he saw how physically exhausted she was. "Okay I will let you teach me on one condition…" She began as she stumbled back barley catching herself . He towered over her, his black robes towering over he tiny frame. She had surprising strength for someone so small he noted. He waited for her to continue she looked as though she was having a hard time finding the right words. "Don't make me choose between the light and the dark." She half whispered. She didn't look him in the eye and that worried him slightly. He wasn't expecting her to say that. "I wouldn't make you choose, though I want you to know the resistance is almost dead. When I am finished with my plans I will be Supreme ruler of this galaxy and peace will once again reign strong." He said. She sighed. "I want to learn the ways of the force, not destroy what is a huge part of me." She explained.
He nodded in understanding. "Once you agree, there is no going back to the resistance. You will live and train on my base. You will be looked at as a light side traitor until you come to your senses. I won't try to change you but eventually you will see the irrationality of your thought and submit to me fully." He stated it as fact and left her no room to argue her point further. She nodded. She knew Finn would be upset with her but somehow, she would find him again and explain things to him. Luke failed her and Leia and she felt like this was a good alternate. Plus, there was something in her that trusted Ben completely. The rain was pouring harder this time and she began shivering being soaked through to the bone. She coughed. Damn. She thought. She hoped she wasn't coming down with a cold.
"Your shivering, let's go back to my ship before you get ill." He said sounding slightly annoyed. However, something deep in her gut told her that he was actually concerned for her wellbeing which made her slightly feel better.
She looked behind her hoping to see Finn one last time but he was no where by them and she turned away walking behind Ben. When they reached his ship, she hesitated before following him. The storm troopers raised their weapons toward her and she shrunk behind Ben. "Lower your weapons she is with me." He ordered. They did so immediately. Thunder boomed loudly over the woods making Rey jump. Kylo sensed her nervousness. Was she not used to thunderstorms he thought to himself? He took her to his quarters. He would prepare a room for her next to his for now, while they began their training. He had to earn her trust he thought to himself. She had nothing so she had nothing to lose, quite like his journey he mused as they walked together in silence down the white hallways of the ship. A few minutes later the ship left the planet and they took off on their next destination. "You have a headache." He noted. She stopped dead in her tracks looking at him. "How do you know?" She asked. She was pale and not looking well. He thought to himself. It made something twist in his gut and he wasn't sure what to do with this new feeling of concern.
It was the force bond. Something Snoke did to them while they were in the interrogation room. "It's our force bond. I can sense when you are unwell." He said. She sighed. "Yes, my head does hurt quite a bit but I'm okay." She replied. She was strong willed which was good. When they reached his room he opened the door for her to enter first. "I remember this room. I saw you here when we first had our connection." Her voice was getting worse. "You should rest, He showed her the shower and clean clothes, I can send for some for you while the storm troopers prepare your room. I have this private chamber for myself." He said.
She nodded and thanked him. "Are you hungry?" He asked. She shook her head. "No thank you." The thought of food made her want to throw up. "Rey, you can have my bed tonight if you like." Kylo said gruffly. He wasn't even sure why he cared how she felt but the fact that she was sick had him more worried than he normally was and that bothered him. She looked at him strangely. "Why are you being nice to me?" She asked. He didn't answer and walked out the door leaving her alone in her thoughts.
That was okay she was utterly exhausted and decided to take a shower. She let the warm water clean her body. Her muscles ached and screamed as she stepped out of the shower soon after, and she wrapped herself in the warm fluffy white towels that Kylo had. They wrapped twice around her. Kylo had not returned. She wondered where he was at. She felt content with her decision for now. She wanted to learn the ways of the force and if this was the way then she would do it. She finally decided to put her regular clothes back on and slid into Kylo's bed. She smelled his scent and that small detail comforted her for some reason. The thought was maddening. She was supposed to hate him but she didn't. She understood him. They shared a lot of similarities. Both from broken families, except she didn't even know hers. She was all alone. He felt abandoned by his mother and father. The one thing she couldn't understand was why he killed Han. He was like a mentor to her and at that final thought she let the exhaustion take over and fell into a deep sleep.
Kylo finally returned well into the night. He just couldn't bring himself to going back there yet. He honestly didn't think she was going to say yes to his proposition.
When he entered his room he heard quiet snoring. She had obviously been tired and by what he could tell not feeling too well. Probably not used to being out in the rain. It hardly ever rained in Jakku.
He decided to let her sleep and sat on the edge of his bed and just watched her. Why of all people in the galaxy was he forced to share a bond with this little scavenger from Jakku. He was a sith lord, of royal birth by all standards. His grandfather was one of the most feared men in all the galaxy, Darth Vader. He was destined to rule. She was nothing, but not to him. He would make sure she felt like she belonged so his plan could be fulfilled.
