Chapter 19: Whiskey
I wake up back in the gold wooden bed. My legs are soar and bruised. My arms have multiple cuts and bruises. My clothes ripped and dirty. It's dark out, the stars shine so bright from here. I look over the balcony to the path leading up to the meadow. I wish I was in the meadow right now, away from what awaits me for what I have done. The first thing I want to do is shower. I'm not surprised by the set of new clothes on the counter. I shower fast, the water stinging all my fresh cuts. I need to check for the transmitter. I rush to the wardrobe, The transmitter is gone. I drop my head back. Kylo is going to for sure kill me. And Finn, he is never going to forgive me. I close the wardrobe and head for downstairs. Creeping down the stairs I sense Kylo is out outside. I walk as quietly as possible till I am standing in the middle of the patio. The night breeze is crisp, sending chills down my back.
How much trouble am I in?
'Alot' he's leaning against a pillar, levitating a glass above his hand, it's spinning counterclockwise. Hes refusing to look at me. Hes wearing everything but his mask. I take another step forward but he puts his other hand out and freezes me in place. He drops the glass slowly into his hand and finishes the amber color liquid and sets the glass down on top of the railing. His eyes shoot to mine. His face ridged. He starts circling me, "Do you have any idea what your little stunt cost me. Supreme Leader is not pleased with you." He continues to circle me, looking at the floor. "I don't know what he is going to do. He might have me kill you. Which I actually want to do right now. You somehow managed to find my grandmothers secret transmitter, i dont know how you found it but you did. When my Knights arrived, more than half the base had fled. The General of coarse was no were to be found!" He's getting angry, his fist clenched. He stops right in front of mean , straitens himself to tower as much as he can over me. He unfreezes me.
I let out a long sigh and take a few steps back. Crossing my arms letting him know that I don't care. He turns around and summons the glass to his hand. Walking past me back into the house. I just stand there, overlooking the water. He almost killed me in there, he probably was trying to.
"You almost killed me." I say. I don't know if he can hear me. After a few moments he's back with a refilled glass. His chest brushed my arm as he came and stood next to me, looking down at me.
"I was expecting you to drown." His eyes as cold as ice. "But it doesn't surprise me that you managed to survive. You are getting more powerful by the day. More wise, but your still a stupid girl." He steps back and takes a few sips of the amber color liquid and turning his attention back to the lake.
One by the hand of the enemy. I quote, frowning. Your my enemy.
"You paint this horrible image of me, that im holding you prisoner. Have I not shown you some respect the past few weeks. But this is your fault, your precious FN-2187..."
"FINN!" I cut him off.
"I should of killed him along time ago. The traitor. You brought them here when I told you what would happen if you went to them. I know where you are at all times. If you like it or not." He turns his head to give me a quick glance, my body frozen from fright. "Regardless of who you are, you will be my biggest weakness. Look at you, a helpless scavenger who cant even control her powers yet. Why the universe picked YOU to be bound to me, I dont know!" He whips his glass, shattering it and the rest of its contents against a pillar. "Look where we are Rey! This place called to you just as much as it called to me! Why do you continue to protect them? You are suppose to be here with me! I dont know what to do with you. If you wont join me... im going to have to kill you. This time I wont let you live. I cant have my orders being leaked to the resistance again!"His shoulders heaving up and down with each breath, anger overwhelming me. He turns and heads back inside. He stops at the doorway, "We need to leave at dawn to go back to the destroyer. Supreme Leader is expecting us." And hes gone.
What have I done. I lower my head and just shut my eyes. The breeze nipping along my many cuts. I ruined any chance of escape.
