It's hard to keep all of your documents in order when you're in space.
There was a knock at the metal door.
"Sir, the resistance is approaching," Came the voice of a stormtrooper.
"We need to go," Annika said softly into Kylo's dark hair. Kylo made no move to get up, but instead held Annika tighter next to him and continued placing soft kisses against her neck.
"Kylo, their ships are here," Annika was attempting to be firm, but anyone could hear the smile breaking through her voice.
"I'm sure our troops can hold them off for just a while longer," he hummed into her smooth skin.
"If Finn has any semblance of a reason to believe Poe is here- and he's got plenty reason to believe that- then he and Rey will be on this base before any of the other ships even break out of lightspeed," Annika said, climbing out of Kylos warm embrace and off of his bed. She pulled her dress off the chair she had draped it over and slipped it over her head. Kylo walked to Annika and brushed her hair out of her eyes and back into place. He held her tan face in his pale hands and tried to take in all of her beauty, but he knew that no matter how hard he tried he would never be able to take in all of it. Everything about her, every movement, every dimple, every spark of passion, everything was absolutely beautiful to him. Kylo had never felt so empowered as when he was with Annika. He pulled her close and felt her hands lay across his still bare chest as he kissed her.
"Get dressed, Kylo," Annika laughed after they pulled apart. She slipped into her shoes and crossed toward the door, calling over her shoulder to Kylo "And don't be late."
"I wouldn't dare," He called after her.
Anikka was practically gliding as she walked through the halls, turning the now familiar corners and holding her unimaginable happiness in a small, collected smile. She felt so free. She had all the pieces to her past, and on top of that, she had a place where she was needed and content. Did she completely align with the ideals of the dark side? Maybe not, but the feeling of belonging and value she got from being with the First Order was more than enough to keep her there. Then there was Kylo. She felt so safe with him, so empowered and comforted. She would gladly rule by his side. All that was standing in the way were the rebels who held her down. Annika was on her way to intercept their trump cards. Most of the soldiers were riff raff but her brother's two friends were supposedly something to be concerned about. Luckily, they were also very predictable. They'd break off from the main group upon arrival to go look for Poe Dameron. Annika knew exactly where they would go.
"This way," Finn hissed to Rey as he lead her through the metal halls of the First Order base. He'd never been on this particular base, but they were all laid out essentially the same. If they had Poe here they would be holding him for interrogations and if he'd blown Annika's cover she'd be there too.
"Finn, what if he's not here?"
"He will be."
"How can you know that? What if they sent him away? What if they killed him or both of them?"
Finn stopped in his tracks and turned to his friend. "They're not dead. I can feel it. You can still feel them too, can't you?"
Rey stared back at Finn for a moment she let the force flow through her senses. She nodded quickly and the two continued through the halls. After a few minutes, they arrived at the interrogation rooms. They ran into the first room and hear the large mechanical doors close, trapping them in.
"Hello, Finn. And this must be Rey," The two looked up to find the source of the voice. Before them was an elegantly dressed young woman with her long dark curls and tan skin. Even though Rey had never seen or met Annika she knew that the woman before her was definitely Poe's sister.
"Annika!" Finn called, running to her and wrapping his arms around her. Annika remained still. "We've been worried sick about you. Poe's barely slept since you left. Where is he, do you know?"
"Poe's home," Annika said flatly.
"What? No, he came here," Finn replied, confused.
"Yes. Then we sent him home."
"That's impossible, we would've received word from someone at the base that he returned," Rey said.
"Oh no, we didn't send him to your home. We sent Poe Dameron to our home. The home he and I grew up in. We sent him to Da' Nar."
"You did what?" Finn cried, astonished.
"That system was destroyed!" Rey called.
"Exactly. We had no use for him, but we didn't want you heathens to be able to get him back in your ranks, so we had to remove him from the equation. Additionally, it seemed rather poetic. Da' Nar held the life that he hid from me for so long, and now it will spell his undoing."
"Did you have a part in this?" Rey asked.
The corner of Annika's mouth quirked up into a small, knowing smirk. She looked at the pair with a malicious fire burning behind her eyes. "It was my idea," She said.
"What? Annika, what are you saying?" Finn was astonished. How could she do something like that? "He's your brother!"
"He's nothing to me."
"Annika, what did they do to you? You've been with Kylo Ren, yeah? What has he done to you?"
"He's shown me opportunity," She said. She hit a button on the wall and a door behind her flew open. Across from Finn and Rey stood Kylo Ren himself. He Entered the room and the door slid closed behind him. Kylo took a place next to Annika.
"Hello again, Rey," He said, his voice thick with metallic effects
"Annika," Rey yelled, "What did you do? What did you tell him?"
"What did he do to you?" Finn cried.
"I haven't done anything vile to her. The only ones who did were that pilot and his resistance comrades."
"We never did anything to you! They helped you! They kept you safe!"
"They lied to me my whole life about who I was!" Annika yelled, "They kept me back! I couldn't do anything, I couldn't even leave the house! That's not being protected, that's being trapped!"
"Don't do this!" Rey called.
"It's already been done." She said.
Suddenly, Finn and Rey saw a bright flash of orange-red light and looked over to see Kylo Ren lunging toward them.
So somehow I uploaded chapter 20 twice, but here's the real chapter 21.
