It was hours later when Kylo was allowed to see her. He had been sitting on a chair outside, digging his fingernails into his hands, anxious to know Rey's consdition and if there was anything that could even be done for her. He walked in slowly and the room was silent. They had warned him that things did not go as planned in the medical ward. There was blood, so much of it. On the ground and the walls. ANgrily he spun around, looking for the medical droid to blame.

But there were none around, except one who was trying depseratly to give him water as it had detected he was dehydrated from sweating. he chopped its hands off and kicked it harshly against the wall, watching with cruel dark eyes as it sputtered electricity and went dark. He spun on his heel and burst into the medroom doors, where all the blood made him go even more pale. he looked at the body on the gurney- he could only ask himself 'why' when he saw that her heart and lungs had been replaced with robotic replacements. "what have you done" he gasped angrily at the bloody surgeon, his lightsaber poised.

"We had orders to do whatever was necessary sir," said the uncertain android. He glanced about, but everyone else was hiding just outside the door and there was no one to back him up. "Her organ tissue had dried out, she would have died. She was too far gone from the illness."

The beeping of the EKG machine reassured him that, at least, they had saved her from that fate. Kylo couldn't look at her, he lowered his eyes to her fingers. Something stirred inside of him, to reach out and touch her. But he didn't. He turned and left.

From the table, Rey barely opened her eyes. Though the world was blurred, she could see Kylo's black cape getting farther and ftarther away.

she wanted to ask where she was, but he had a sneaking suspicion, even in her nearly dead state, that she was in a new order ship. she could tell from the metal walls- even with them covered in blood. but could it be the man in the black cape was the very man she so loathed? and if so- why did she get the mpression that he cared at all what happened to her? She breathed in and breathed out slowly, feeling air enter her new lungs and breath back out with a slight rasping.

she wanted to know what they had done to her, but looking up at the menacing blood covered android.

"why am i here? what do you want from me?" she rasped at him, her brow furrowing in bemused fear. the robot beeped, and looked up with the door suddenly opened.

"what else could we want, Rey Kenobi," she looked up at the door, eyes widening at who entered. "we want your power"

it was snoke.

Rey couldn't get up, even though she wanted to. Snoke was looming over her, admiring the work and smiling to himself. Although he was old, the way he walked was strangely youthful. As if some unnatural part of the force was giving hims trength.

"What do you mean?" Rey gasped.

"Do you think I would have let Kylo go on his little search and rescue mission for you if I didn't have something to gain? Sleep now, you won't remember this when you awaken."

Search and rescue mission? Rey heard the words over and over in her head as she struggled to stay awake. She wanted to scream, but all she could do was close her eyes. She was exhausted. And soon, she was out.
