Chapter 5: Sides

I didn't dream that night. I'm not even sure I had actually slept at all until I opened my eyes and there was a small glass of water next to me. Strange, I'm sure other prisoners don't get water. I wonder who even brought this to me. It's a welcoming taste though, I savor every last drop allowing my mind to soak it in. I'm so weak, defiantly to weak to try and escape. Kylo Ren would just kill me if I did, right in the hallway.

You would probably make my head explode if I try and escape.

'Intriguing thought but I have better ways than to explode body parts. I want to look into your eyes'

That is the most disturbing thing i'v ever heard. Nothing like having your executioner being able to hear your thoughts. Monster.

I stand up and start walking in circles to try and pass time. I have no idea what time it is or how long iv been here come to think of it. Maybe I can ask the man himself, I have a direct line. I chuckle alittle, am I actually going to try and talk to him. He signed my death certificate. He's going to kill me.

How long have I been here?

'I'm trying to work'

Please.

'2 days. I'm actually surprised you have survived this long.'

I feel his anger course through the me.

Your mad I'm alive

'I'm mad Snoke has not allowed me to kill you yet, your repulsive'

I shiver. He's just mad I beat him up. Most men see me as a weak scavenger girl but I have killed a few men who tried to take my rations. They were not men because men would not try to take from a young girl. My staff became my protector, I took pride in knowing how to wield it just right to take someone out in two hits. Who knew a lightsaber would some day become my protector. I notice the cut down on my hand still wrapped in the material from Luke. And the tears start again, i decide that unwrapping my hand so I can hold the cloth closer to me might make me feel better. So I can feel close to Luke again. But something catches my eyes, under the cloth the cut seems to have grown, infected no doubt. Oozing a yellow liquid, the cloth must of been keeping this all in. It's really gross, causing me to start to spin. I need to mediate.

I know it's the only thing I have left to do now. I should of thought of this sooner but I'm still so new at this. I find sit dead center of the room and fold my legs and try and meditate, like a lotus flower. Something else I have never seen in person, only a brief hologram image one day when Plutt was doing some trading. It was captivating, beautiful.

My hand started to throb, horrible throb that started to tingle up my arm as the hours passed. I was trying to draw strength from my inner self to take my mind off the pain but I was still weak. I have not eaten in 3 days. I'm use to hunger but with nothing else to do I can't stop thinking about it. I just need sleep.

"Rey?" And then a slight push on my shoulder. "Rey?" I actually fell asleep and someone is waking me up. I slowly pry my eyes open to see no other than Kylo Ren and I shut them again. To weak and cold.

"Is it time to die?" I scowl.

"No, but I think your hand is infected" I felt a sudden warmth around my wrist. It engulfed my tiny hand and I welcomed the warmth. I open my eyes back up to see Kylo holding my wrist with his gloved hands and inspecting my wound.

"Let go of me" i try and pull my arm back but I'm so weak that I doubt it making a dent in his grip around my wrist.

Monster

"You need this cleaned" he says through his mask. "Get up"

"Why won't you let me just die here from infection?" I say with as much effort as I could.

"I envy that you want to die, but now is not time time. Like I said, I have plans for you." He said. he lets my arm fall back on the ground and got up in the blink of an eye and stands by the door. I stumble to my feet as I felt his eyes just burning into my skin.

Enjoying the view?

'Not in the slightest'

He turns and opens the door a wave of his hand. "I doubt you will have the strength the run, so im not restraining you, but just know if you do try anything..." He turns towards me. "I'll make your head explode". For some reason I felt he was smiling as he said that and it made my stomach knot. We made our way down the hall towards what appeared to me more and more halls. Im falling far behind him, he defiantly doesnt care that I have trouble keeping his pace. It took a lot more effort to walk than I thought, fearing I'll collapse at any minute.

How does anyone know where they are going in this place? Wherever we are.

No answer. He probably doesnt want me to find my way around. Surprisingly we avoid every stormtropper until we come to the stop in front of a medical wing.

"JC-2010 will be watching you. Hes one of my best officers so dont try anything" he says coldly behind his mask. Suddenly a silver Stormtropper comes from behind another door down the hallway and starts walking in our direction.

"Sir, we are all clear" the Stormtropper announces.

"Make sure she gets the best care. Supreme Leader is expecting her soon. In one piece", he glances down at me and does a once over my body then looks back at the Stormtropper. "And clean." He turned around and stopped for a second before leaving without even looking back i could feel him sensing my feelings of being scared.

'Space. I had to make sure there was nowhere you could run'

And he stormed off.
