AN: First of all thank you for the reviews. I haven't written in a while so it is nice to receive feedback. This is becoming quite enjoyable to write and makes waiting for the film more exciting. Looking forward to see where the next chapters will lead. Enjoy!

Looking downwards at his fallen prey he waited an extra minute before attempting to nudge her. A small dart had administered a serum which had done its work perfectly, she was unresponsive and sound asleep. Years of training had introduced him to various techniques for rendering targets helpless. Within the hour she would awaken so there was not much time to waste. Reaching down he hoisted her small frame over his shoulder, she was even lighter than she appeared. Despite the girls overall outward demeanor he knew already of the potential she carried within her. It would be up to him to make an imprint on the blank canvas.

Light shined down through the tree tops followed by the humming of a craft, winds pushed against the branches causing them to snap from the powerful gusts. A porcelain white and gunmetal finished shuttle touched down; wings slowly raised as the loading ramp lowered to touch the ground. First Order TIE fighters zipped by above them to signal the end of their run. Pleased with how easy this task had been he smiled to himself, lost in thought. Caravans were always the best way to travel for one simply had to gaze upwards to witness their advanced arsenal. No one dared to stand in the way unless they had a valid reason to die.

He boarded, the newly obtained petite cargo swayed like an extension of his cloak as they were approached by a Stormtrooper onboard. He instructed where she was to be held for the time being and with a nod she was carried away. Making sure that any imminent trackers from the Resistance would not interfere he took a seat at the controls, activating the cloaking shields. Rising past the atmosphere and breaking into space the shuttle silently began its trek. The vast array of immensely dangerous ships created an all too familiar scene.

A few hours passed in what seemed like an eternity.

A throbbing pain in the shoulders and neck greeted her upon waking. Rolling on her side provided little comfort. Cold metal pressed against skin as she soon discovered the narrow space provided to her. Bones ached as she propped herself up and onto her elbows. Vision slightly blurred she looked around unaware of where she had been taken to. The room was dimly lit with only pale blue lights along the edges of the walls and a large doorway. Spotting a lone window she slowly stepped down from the uncomfortable cot, her ankle protesting with great discomfort. Peering into the glass she beheld a massive ship. It was a Star Destroyer, a relic brought back to life, fully restored and operational. They were also being escorted by what looked to be fifty or so TIE fighters.

Everything came back to her, the events of the past day. The fear she had felt after being trapped. He was taking her to them. The thought of becoming a prisoner, most likely to be tortured and ridiculed made her stiffen. What is it about me that they want so badly?

A flashing red light began to emit from an unknown source outside the doorway along with faint murmuring, a man's voice. Her captor no doubt, planning out her upcoming ordeal. Without a second thought she headed towards the only apparent exit, pressing against the thick metal made it open quite easily. Too easily. Obviously he wasn't worried about her escaping; surveillance was a priority with these guys after all.

A small stairway led her down into the main hull of the aircraft. Each step sent out small creaks; announcing her descent.

In the newly discovered area screens upon screens flickered, each displaying alien beings and distant worlds that were unrecognizable to the untrained eye. It was eerily quiet; senses were heightened and she was not about to let her guard down.

About to step down she suddenly lost her footing as the ship jerked forward, she slid backwards and almost back onto the stairs. Grasping the edge of the wall she grunted as their speed then quickly decelerated. The entire floor began to rattle and shake before finally becoming smooth yet again.

"It's impolite to sneak about." The voice carried itself through the room.

Sitting at the helm was the man in black. Not bothering to acknowledge her presence he carried on with his business. Again he spoke, most likely addressing a colleague about his findings. She stood still, observing him. A large holographic screen then came into view towards the center, images of destruction, of a war developing. Civilians running, children screaming and then…her home planet. There were various images of Jakku. Not recent footage, but from years ago.

Aggravated she straightened herself upright and brushed herself off. The nerve of this arrogant First Order jerk! All of them are brainwashed and starved for power, no consideration for anything else. He was obviously doing his best to test her. She thought this to herself as she exhaled.

"Next time a warning would be nice." She chirped while sounding as brave as humanly possible. She glared at him with fire in her eyes.

The large chair then finally swiveled halfway so that he was peering back at her. The mask concealing his face made reading his thoughts impossible. Lacking any expression made him appear impenetrable.

"One should not walk around so aimlessly." He spat while turning back to the monitors. Not caring to be distracted at the moment he waved over a trooper who moved to restrain her.

Raising her own hand out in return she shouted..."Don't touch me. I'll go back to the room myself."

An awkward silence and an exchange of looks followed.

The trooper turned hastily towards Kylo Ren waiting for a command. When none was given he reluctantly returned to his station, all the while keeping his eyes locked on her.

She then slowly started to make her way back up the stairwell, not caring to look back. Playing along would keep her alive, that much she had known long before this all started. It wouldn't be but mere days until the others found her and launched an attack. Hopefully they knew how to deal with this threat; they were definitely in for a challenge.

The steel door suddenly swung open on its own. A slight push was felt on her back, light at first and then a shove, just enough to force her inside.

Stumbling to keep her footing she glanced back, he was standing with his arm extended.

"I trust you will behave. If not...this is just a taste of the abilities I possess." His tone was confident and foreboding.

With that, the door slammed shut. She went to push against it; this time around it wasn't moving even an inch. Using her good leg she kicked against it out of sheer frustration. This had to be one of the worst days she's experienced in a while.

Sinking downward beneath the window she buried her head in her folded arms. If they were going to use her as bait to draw everyone out there was a good chance people will die. Avoiding tears she looked up at the flickering stars, interrupted occasionally by the insect-like TIE fighters. This side of her should be gone by now, she was supposed to be a strong woman, the one her family knew she'd become.

Family. The word lingered on her breath.
