Rey

She wasn't aware of how long she slept. She could feel the metal table that she was still strapped to. Her body was screaming at her, her muscles were tight and her head throbbed. She scanned the room thinking that she would find him again staring at her but there was nobody there. She should have felt relieved that he wasn't there, that she wouldn't have to deal with more of the mind torture that he had dealt to her earlier, but she wasn't. It made her feel lonely and unimportant.

"Stop it Rey!" she whispered to herself. "You've always been alone." Her thoughts though were betraying her strength. Yes, she had always been alone for as long as she could remember, but never was she alone and helpless as she was now. On Jakku she would have to only worry about herself, and now she was worried about her new found friends. Where they were? Did they get away from him? She thought back when he told her that he didn't know where they were but could he be telling her the truth. He was the enemy, and she never really had a true enemy so she wasn't sure of intentions, or why someone would lie about not knowing where something of importance was.

Her thoughts were stopped by the sound of footsteps coming closer, she stopped breathing, and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see him, didn't want to see those eyes. She thought she could act as if she were sleeping and maybe he would leave. The sound of boots were getting closer, she started to breath, to control it so it would appear she was asleep. She was hoping it was anyone but the monster walking toward the table.

The steps stopped beside her. She knew who it was, she could feel the same electric tingle from earlier. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess. Just act like you are resting, maybe he will go away. Who are you kidding Rey, he doesn't care if you are sleeping, he is the enemy, a monster. He has come back to keep probing your mind, to find the map. Oh Stars! What if he is sifting through my thoughts right now!

She quiets her mind but she doesn't feel anything in her head, no pressure behind her eyes. All she can feel is the electric tickle that he seems to emit. What is that she wonders?

She believes that she hears a small sigh, and hears his boots as he walks away.

Kylo Ren

He was going through all that just happened with his Master. He felt shame that his master saw through his weaknesses, that he could see his fight with the light. He was told he would bring the girl to him. He didn't want to, she was strong with the force. She was brave, she was intriguing. He wanted to train her, wanted to teach her the ways of the force. He wanted her to call him Master as he remembered the energy of the force that sparked between them, the smell of her. It was earthy and natural. The freckles on her face and shoulders from days under the hot desert sun.

His steps slowed for a moment wondering where that had come from.

He now had to deliver the girl to Snoke, and he wasn't sure what the Supreme Leader would do with her. Would he keep her as a pet? Turn her to the dark side with mind games and punishment as he did with him? Or even kill her on sight? The last though was the hardest to think of.

Ignore it, she is nothing! He said to himself. She is nothing but a scavenger who is a resistance sympathizer. As soon as the First Order retrieves the map they should execute her for the trash she is.

If he was ever going to prove himself to his Master he would need to get the thoughts of this girl from his mind, kill her and be done with it.

He entered the room, she was still restrained on the table. She was feigning sleep. He could feel her trepidation. Does she know it's him? He would know if she had walked in on him, he could feel the air spark and pop with the force. He stood beside her and watched her chest lifting as she would breathe. He could reach into her mind right now and find the map if he was quick enough. Find it then snap her neck. He thought about her throat beneath his fingers. His fingers around her neck, the feeling of her soft skin. Watching as she is struggling for breath, his large hands tighter and tighter, lifting her off the ground. Her feet struggling to touch the floor, her small fingers trying to pry his hands from her throat. Her fighting to fill her lungs with air.

It was a fleeting thought, but it made him grin.

He stood there watching her, she confused him. He wanted to teach her, he wanted to kill her, he wanted to fuck her, not in that order. He felt the tug of it again, the tug of compassion that held him back from being everything he should be. Kept him from being as powerful as his grandfather. He needed to meditate and ask for guidance from Darth Vader.

He sighed and walked away from his weakness.

Back in his chambers he knelt in front of his shrine made for his grandfather. The mask that so many respected and feared. He wanted to feel that same way.

"Grandfather, you showed me once and I again need your guidance. I need to find a way to extinguish this pain. This light. I need it gone to fulfill your legacy."

He sat trying to meditate but he couldn't clear his mind. His thoughts kept going back to the scavenger that resisted him. He would need to prepare to take her to Snoke. He needed to keep his thoughts away from what his Master will do to the girl.

He quickly stands and moves towards the door, his cape billowing behind him. He goes to find the nearest storm trooper to collect the prisoner.

"You!" he says as he sees a trooper rounding the corner.

Kylo smiled to himself when he saw that the trooper stumbled. The troopers were afraid of him and he enjoyed it. There were so many that were afraid of him, which he fed on.

He quickened his pace to the trooper until they met in the middle.

"There is a prisoner in interrogation room 2, collect a few more troopers and have her transported to my command shuttle."

"Yes Lord Ren." The trooper answered and turned to go towards interrogation rooms.

This is my first Star Wars Fanfic. I was never big into Star Wars until TFA. Since that came out I've had to watch them all... in chronological order (even the cartoons and animated films.) I'm not all up to speed with the terminology so please forgive me. I am hopeful there will be a Reylo love affair in the future, but if not I'll just make my own.
