Chapter 10: Order

What did I just do? I sink to my knees. I just agreed to train with the enemy. The man who killed people I grew to care about, by his own hand. I should of just allowed him to kill me too. This is insane, one minute hes telling me im his biggest weakness and now he makes it sounds like im his biggest asset. Luke would be so dissapointed in me, so would all my friends. I miss everyone so much. Finn, the only person who has ever come back for me and I dont even know how hes doing. I cry, pulling myself in and just cry. Does the resistance even know Lukes dead. By the hands of none other than his nephew. I cant even try to run because there is nowhere I could go. Kylo is much stronger than I remember, it was easy to fight him coming into my mind before. I accessed his because he was shocked and let his guard down. But now I see that isnt going to work anymore.

He can hear what im thinking anyways but sometimes I can feel him push harder to find the answer hes looking for. Im sure he doesnt like what he sees. I bet many people dont dare defy him but we have this stupid force bond and i cant seem to hide anything from him. Hunger overwhelms me and I force myself to eat the food the droid brought. A bowl of some sort of grain and a small red fruit. I have never seen something so mouthwatering. Examining the fruit for a minute before I take a small bite, i'm anxious of the taste and my taste buds pucker up and my face cringes. Its so sweet but delicious. I take my time with everything, just taking it slowly. I have never had the chance to enjoy food, it was a luxury back home.

I allow myself to open my mind, I feel him in the back trying to figure out why I am eating so slow. Its unsettling, the feeling of someone else watching your life through your eyes. Even more unsettling is that its Kylo Ren. King of Darkness. So i show him.

I sometimes went so long without food my body would shut down. I would come in and out of conciousness. Till I could finally dragged myself to Plutt, begging him for just a quater ration to have enough energy to go out and scavange. Only a few times I have allowed myself to beg for something, but only because it was a dire need to survive. And I had to survive, my family was going to come back for me someday.

Sitting in front of this empty bowl and just staring into the bottom I just wonder,

What is going to become of me?

Will I let him kill me during training and just act like its an accident or like he said, Im weak. Or I could use everything he shows me against him and maybe escape.

'Be ready in 10'

Of course, I open up alittle and he ignored it. Though he was basically prying it from my mind anyways. This is infuriating. Why does he have so much control over me! I go into the bathroom and fix my hair into my favorite three buns. I hate looking at myself in the mirror, my face still unnaturally thin looking. A reminder of the past week in this place. Going from a closet size cell to this room. I still actually dont understand the point of this room. Was it just to toy with me? I didnt know rooms like this were allowed for the First Order. Pretty sure these cold blooded monsters sleep on mats on the floor. Or the should. I wonder if there are any other rooms like this on the ship and who they belong to. Isnt black the customary First order color? I sit in the chair just waiting for Kylo to come get me. I wonder what he thinks he can teach me, after all he thinks im a child. Though im not. I survived very well on my own for 15 years without the force. It was just that though, surviving. Never living. I never got the chance to live.

The door slides open with a very low swish, and he steps in and the door closes behind him. His head quickly scans the room till he spot me at the table. He looks strait at me and then stalks over to the bed and picks up the red book, I didnt notice it was still on the bed. I cant read him though. The mask always intimidates me, I rather see his face. I stand up back up to the farthest wall. He shakes his head and then slowly starts levitating the book in his hand, just inchs above his gloves. With the slow twist of his hand the book makes it was back to the spot on the shelf. A perfect fit in the opening it left behind. My eyes are wide and my heart racing. He turns around and straitens himself making himself look even taller.

"You will refer to me as Master. Nothing else. I am not your equal. You are only alive because Im allowing you to be. You will do as I say." His voice is harsh, even through the mask, it gives me goosebumps. "You will not disobey a direct order or you will be punished. And I promise you, you WILL beg for me to stop. When we are not training you will be confined to this room. If you try and escape again you will be punished. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served to you here, you will be getting a well balanced diet. I also dont want you trying to pry into my mind. It makes me very angry, and also goes against a direct order. Its bad enough I can hear your thoughts. You will watch your mouth, I do not like being questioned. Many have died at my hands for alot less than that. You will not talk to anyone on this ship but me unless I tell you otherwise."

He is standing just a few feet away. Glaring down at me through his protector of a mask. "Do. You. Understand." He hissed. His stance was strong, hands behind his back, and feet slightly parted. Just staring at me.

"Yes... Master" I lower my head and just look into my hands that are clasped together in front of me. Palms sweaty.

"Good. Follow me."

Once again avoiding any Stormtroppers, we make our way down a serious of long hallways. His long legs move much faster than me and I am almost spriting to keep up with him. Till we reach a corridor with walls as black as night. Dimly lit with small red lights running along the floor almost forming an arrow pointing in the direction of a very large door. It was surrounded by thin bright red lamps that outlined the frame of the door. It stood taller than Kylo. I glance at him wondering what this place could possibly be. It sends a shiver up my spine. Just when I think he is about to open the mysterious door he turns and looks down to me.

"Supreme Leader is expecting us. You will not speak unless spoken to. He doesnt take kindly to insubordinate behavior. Mind you thoughts, he can read you without even looking at you. You will refur to him as Supreme Leader, and when you get to the top of the steps, you must kneal. He does not have patience like I do."

You have patience? I doubt that. I almost let out a laugh. But manage to swallow it in my throat.

He didnt think that was funny, he turned abruptly to face the door and with the wave of his hand the door slides open. We step inside and I catch myself in awe. The room was grand, an isle just wide enough for us to stand side by side on leads from the door to what seems to be a small platform on top of a few stairs. In front of what seemed to be a... a throne? The throne reaches from the top of the platform to almost the ceiling. My eyes are focused on the huge monument and everywhere else all at once. Trying to take in everything.

You have to be kidding me.

Around us are rows and rows of seats that are lower to the ground than the platform. I already feel nauseas. I cant tell if Kylo is enjoying this or terrified, his emotions are all over the place. The room is dark enough that I cant tell exactly how large it might be. Its overwhelming. I cant make my feet move, I actually am frigtened by whatever im about to see. I have never seen what Snoke looks like and the images I have put into my mind might not do justice now. Kylo places his hand on the small of my back and pushes me forward up the isle till we reach the stairs. He shoots me a quick glance and motions for me to walk up to the platform. Once im up even a few steps my knees start to shake but Kylo quickly catches on and pushes me forward. Standing to my left I can feel his body tighten up, his breathing became ridged, and his shoulders squared.

'Kneal'

Taking a quick look around me, i reluctanly kneal next to Kylo and look down at the floor. Just waiting.

"Kylo Ren, You have done well. I am pleased to see the girl still alive while I had other things that needed my attention." Snoke announced. His voice echos through the room like thunder. I dont dare look up, frightened of what I might see.

'Stay down'

"Yes my Supreme Leader. I have done as you asked and brought the scavenger to you. She has agreed to allow me to train her and understands if she refuses to come to the dark side, I will kill her myself." His voice strong and proud. "But I think she will be of great value in the rebuilding of the First Order my lord."

"Stand up girl, let me see you" Snoke hisses. I slowly pry my knees from the ground. Trembling I raise my head and am looking in the eyes of the most evil being alive. His alien form towers over me, his features are sunken in, hollowing out almost half his face. He is very disfigured, his skin as grey as death. His grey eyes never leave mine. And for a moment im glad he is only a hologram because in his real form he would leave me weaping. Fear over takes me and sweat starts forming a thin coat on my body. Making this already tight outfit, feel even tighter.

"It is where you are from. What you are made of. The dark side—and the light. The finest sculptor cannot fashion a masterpiece from poor materials. He must have something pure, something strong, something unbreakable, with which to work." Snoke says. But I know hes talking to Kylo. "This bond you speak of. Do you feel it girl?"

"Im not sure. I feel something though. Something that wasnt there a few weeks ago Supreme Leader", I can hear the tremble in my voice. I look down at my hands and fiddle with my fingers. I thought when saw this man it was going to be for my execution, not to become an apprentice to Kylo Ren.

"I see." He leans back in this chair and turns his attention back to Kylo who was still standing motionless to my left. "You have my permission to train this girl, but if she seems to be more of a problem than an asset you will bring her to me in person and I will dispose of her. Do you understand?" He snips.

"Yes my lord." He nods and goes to turn around.

"I hope for you sake, Girl, that you become valuable. Id hate to dispose of such a pretty face in an unpleasent way. Do you understand what you are accepting?"

"Yes Sir" I whisper. Then hes gone and all thats left is the sound of my own heart about to pump out of my chest. Without a sound Kylo turns and stars walking back down the isle. I quickly follow trying not to trip over my own feet, my whole body feels like jello. I try and compose myself as much as I can. I dont want to cry here in this hallway of death. When the doors shut behind us I feel Kylos whole body relax. I refuse to die at the hand of that.. that... thing.

Please dont make me go back in there. Im pleaing with him through my thoughts.

'Dont give me a reason'

Before long im back in my room, Kylo just lingers long enough to tell me we begin training tomorrow and just like that, Im alone again. I grab a chair and reach for the red book and decide I need to read more about this force bond. There has to be other ways to break it, or at least prevent it from getting stronger. I need to get out of here!

**Notes: Thank you for reading my long chapter, please leave reviews and let me know what you think so far. Im so happy with the way its coming along. I have so much planned for these two. Dont worry, there will be REYLO :) -SSL
