Her eyes opened in a haze as a figure stood over her. A dark figure, with an aura of some kind of evil wafting around his lanky form.
She tried to move her arms, knowing very well that any kind of attempts at freedom were nearly impossible.
"There is no use," He muttered as she wondered if he was staring at her. "You may try to escape but your attempts are futile." Rey slumped into her upright prison as the grips seemed to tighten around her wrists. She knew he was approaching her by the sound his heavy feet made on the metal floor, fear rose in her stomach.
"What do you want from me?" He felt the anger in her voice attack him, a defence mechanism that was a norm for prisoners who were experiencing spikes in sudden fear.
"I want your knowledge." He took a step closer to her, making his intimidation tactic stronger.
"But I know nothing useful to you." He laughed, knowing full well what she was hiding.
"I know that you have seen the map to Luke Skywalker," Her blood froze as she averted her gaze from his direction. "So, why not make it easy on yourself and tell me where he is."
"Never." She answered quickly with vigor. "Why would I tell a coward anyways? A strong leader who would make use of the map would not feel the need to hide behind a mask."
She smiled to herself knowing she bested her captor, but only for that moment. She looked back at him when she heard a click and within seconds the anonymous man had a face.
A handsome face.
A handsome face that did not match the darkness that lived inside him.
"Am I still a coward now, peasant?" Rey forced her eyes to the ground, knowing full well her words had gotten the best of her. "Now why don't you tell me about that map?"
"No." In her mind, Rey's voice boomed throughout the galaxy, like an atomic wave of sound, but in this small room, her voice resembled that of a mouse. Kylo knew she was breaking.
"Why don't we just speed up the process then." She felt an invisible weight wrap around her throat as Kylo's arm extended toward her. "Where is Luke Skywalker?" Rey's mouth clenched as she closed her eyes, trying to make the pain cease.
All she wanted was her home in Jakku. She did not want this adventure forced upon her. Yes, it was exhilarating and unlike anything she had ever done, but she did not wish to die in the process. There was still so much she wanted, like her family she missed so dearly….
"Stop this." She opened her eyes to see Kylo's hand shaking, struggling to keep a grasp on her. In that moment, she knew that the force was at her fingertips. Then, she locked eyes with him, letting the power flow through her veins. Her light power and his dark made a grey area as their opposing powers attacked each other, both lusting after opposite outcomes.
Then, he let go.
There was silence….
His eyes were stuck on hers, as feelings of weakness danced on their souls for tiny seconds. Her weakness was the way his eyes showed something other than the evil that the mask insinuated. His weakness was something he has never known before.
"You are going to tell me eventually," He pushed the weakness down into the floor as Rey perked up in her chair. "If it the last thing you do." He left her presence as soon as his sentence ended, wanting to get as far away from her as possible. When Kylo was a reasonable distance away, he let his mind wander as his feet pulled him towards the room of Leader Snoke.
What was she.
Something about her caused him more fear than he could grasp. A young, weak girl who he could crush in his palm within seconds. Why was she bringing this upon him?
But, he had never met many others like him, let alone a woman. A beautiful woman. But weakness could not be allowed for him, especially with his rank in the First Order. Maybe something else could rise from this, something he could put to his use. His steps stopped outside of Leader Snoke's room, letting his ideas settle in his mind before making a proposal.
One that could come to use for him and the members of the First Order.
He smiled.
