Chapter 13: Stand Your Ground
His heartbeat is so strong. Its like a pretty hum in my head. I kinda dont mind it, even if its Kylo Rens. Its actually makes me feel safer, somewhat stronger, like I can feel his energy. I can feel so much more. Like my senses heightened. I eat dinner and take a shower as fast as I can. I dont need him coming in on me while im showering. When I return from the shower there are fresh clothes on the bed for me. Must of been a droid, at least I hope so. I pace around the room for a little looking for things to do, there isnt anything but some books on the shelf. I notice he has the same red book on his bookshelf. I dont even want to look at it right now. Im still trying to get over hearing his heartbeat thing. Why am I bonded to this man, Knight of Ren. I need to ask him how this even happened. So I wait patiently for him to return.
Crawling to the center of the bed, I close my eyes to meditate and just focus on his heartbeat. I try to feel where on the ship he might be, pouring all my focus in. I dont bother him just yet, I just listening for awhile.
Top Deck
'What?'
Your on the top deck of the destroyer. I can feel you. I can hear your heart beating.
'Good. You picked it up faster than I thought'
Why can I now feel you and not before?
'I didnt want you to'
And now you do?
'Not necessarily.'
Why are we bonded? Me and you have nothing in common.
'Because the Universe seems to think we do'
Someone interrupts him and I can hear them talking. I listen closely.
' "Sir, with General Hux sudden leave of absence, you are now the soul Captain of the Destroyer" "Set the coordinates to D'Qar" '
Your going to attack them? The resistance? You better not! Your own mother! You bastard!
And then nothing. The connection was cut. But I can still hear his heart beating, that doesnt exactly make me feel better. I want to kill him right now! I know hes coming, the longer we spend together the easier it is to feel his presence.
Whats going to happen if im still your prisoner after a month? A year? Forever? Your going to keep me here as a pet so you can train your dark ways too. I open the blinds to just look at the stars. Maybe I can escape to one of the planets near by. How hard can it be to convince some stormtroppers to let me by. I can fly any plane I can get my hands on. I need to warn the resistance. I hope the connection is still closed.
The door slides open and Kylo comes storming in, hands clenched. He doesnt remove his mask which doesnt allow me to see his face to read him better. "Do you forget whos side your on now?! What would happen if you went back to them?! I would be forced to kill you at first sight. There is nothing there for you Rey! There is nothing that they can give you that I cant! This is why I didnt want to open this more. Snoke warned me that allowing you access more of your end of the bond. That it was going to be a problem. But I chose to defy his orders in hope you would show me some respect since I now twice saved your life. Snoke prefers you dead. You are a unwelcome distraction but he is giving you a chance. Something that doest come often." He stomps over to stand nearly a foot away. Igniting his lightsaber but I hold my ground even though im shaking.
"Do it you horrible man," taunting him. "I am not going to sit here and allow you to go murder my friends! I will find a way to leave! I will not be a prisoner no more! Your the enemy! You will never be my master! He died. Because you murdered him too! So kill me or let me leave."
"My prisoner? I thought you were being treated better than any guest has been on the destroyer. People dont see the outside of their cell. I let you sleep in my bed. Something else I have never let someone do. You are alot of firsts for me. Just so you know, you wont escape Rey. I will find you were ever you go. Thats one advantage to this bond I dont mind. I will put you back in that cell if I have to. Just to keep you here. For once in your life someone finds you valuable, important to them, and you want to run? I need you here."
"You only want me here because you think you can convert me to the dark side. Become your secret weapon in the war against the resistance! But I will NEVER use my powers against them. The first chance I get I will let them take me hostage and try to explain that you kidnapped me and held me here against my will" I shout.
"Why are you keeping me here! I want to go home!"
"To that desolate planet. Rey, how come you cant see your true potential? You are so much more than that. You have a destiny to fulfill."
"Luke told me my destiny, and it has nothing to do with YOU!" Oh Luke, I miss him. He was so kind to me in those few days.
"You believe that old man! Hes a liar! Anything to keep you on the resistance side."
"Oh now I see where you get it from Ben."
He grabs my throat and lifts me off the ground, squeezing so hard I think hes going to snap my neck.
"Dont you EVER use that name again. Hes dead! Because I killed him to." He throws me on the ground and leaves. No doubt to go slash some more walls with his child like temper.
