After turning off the stove and pouring the tea into three cups, I give one to him before saying, "Alright, I will go wake my sister…I'll be right back." I walk into Celeste's room quietly before gently shaking her shoulder and whispering to her, "Celeste, wake up…I have great news for you." She stirs slightly before opening her ruby-colored eyes slowly and sitting up while yawning quietly.
"What's the great news? Why are you so happy at such an ungodly hour?" She asks tiredly while rubbing her eyes.
"Well, for one, it's almost mid-morning…and two, if you are willing to go with me; you're going to get the best medical attention in the galaxy…" She immediately stops rubbing her eyes and looks at me in a shocked manner.
"Wait, seriously? What's the catch?"
"We have to go willingly with Kylo Ren himself to meet his superior…so, are you in?" She thinks for a moment before coughing harshly into her hand. I hand her a tissue to wipe the saliva off her hand.
"How do I know you aren't playing pranks on me again?" She asks after recovering from her coughing fit. As soon as she said that, I hear Kylo walk into the room, making her gasp in shock, "Never mind! I believe you!" I hear Kylo chuckle, making me giggle softly while looking at Kylo, who had placed his mask back on his face.
"Are you well enough to get out of bed?" He asks as I look back at Celeste.
"I think so…" she replies before slowly getting out of bed with me holding her shoulders for support.
"Good. Will you be ready to leave in fifteen minutes?" I look at my sister and then back at him before nodding.
"I will be waiting in the main room when you have everything you need packed and ready to go."
After packing a few essentials into my red leather satchel and an old picture hologram of me and my mother holding my sister shortly before she died, I go into the basement and grab the box that my mother left for me in my care to open when I felt I was ready and old enough before heading to the main room where I see Kylo leaning against the wall near the front door, waiting for me and Celeste sitting on the couch with her satchel full of clothes and other things that she needs.
"Are you both ready?" Kylo asks me and my sister. We both nod and, with my arm around my sister's shoulder for support, walk out the door to begin our new life.
~*3 Days Later*~
After we made it to the headquarters of The First Order, Kylo parted from us, saying he had some business to take care of as soon as possible, leaving us with his best guards to lead me to my quarters and my sister to the medical ward.
"You'll be just fine, Celeste. I will come see you after I get situated into my new room, okay?" I explain to her as I hug her gently. She smiles and nods before saying while parting from me, "I love you, sis."
"I love you, too, Celeste." I turn to the head doctor and say, "Take good care of her…she's the only family I have left."
"Don't worry, Miss Arkada, she's in the care of the best in the galaxy. I will send word to you if anything changes." I smile and reply, "Thank you." I turn away and follow the guard assigned to me to my quarters.
As the door opens, I look inside and gasp as I walk inside while setting my satchel and box down near the door; it was so luxurious. There was a beautiful, large canopy bed with a black comforter and red silk sheets and pillows in the center of the room along with a leather chair in the far corner of the room next to a door that lead to, what I assumed was the bathroom; there was also another door near the bed that lead to a walk-in closet. All in all, it was perfect. As I take in the sheer beauty of the room, I hear the door slide open behind me, startling me out of my small trance. I quickly turn around to see Kylo.
"I apologize for startling you, Lila…do you like it?" He says after removing his mask. I grin.
"It's perfect! Thank you, Kylo, for everything you've done for both me and my sister. I am in your debt." He chuckles and replies, "You're quite welcome. If you need anything, my room is across the hallway from yours. If I'm not there, however, just press that button on the wall over there," He points to the button on the far wall, "And one of the guards will do whatever you need them to do." I smile.
"Thanks again!"
