Chapter 3
I glanced around to make sure I was alone, even though I knew no one else was there, other than the storm trooper behind me. I took a deep breath, and tried to relax.
"You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open," my voice waiver dramatically. I didn't even look at him while I said it.
"What did you say?"
I paused before starting again. "You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open," I said, a bit more confidently. I could hear the clomping of the stormtroopers boots.
I'm going to die, aren't I? I asked myself as the trooper came into view.
"I will tighten these restraints, scavenger scum," he said, jabbing at me with his blaster.
I took a deep breath in and looked him in the eye. Well, his eye area in his mask.
"You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open," I kept a firm look, and he straightened up.
"I will remember these restraints, and leave with the cell-"
"He will be doing no such thing," I could hear a clearly masked voice, Kylo, said, his voice unaltered. He walked over to me and waved the trooper out. I quickly shut up, looking away. I could hear his breathing as he paused to watch me in fascination.
"You do realize what you did, right?" He asked bitterly.
I kept my head turned but moved my eyes towards him. "I have some ideas," I replied quietly.
Kylo changed topics. "No one can help you in the resistance. You're just another pawn in their army. Luke won't help. He never helped me. You are useless to them. I can teach you though."
He was right. I was useyless. But what would I mean to the First order? Nothing.
"Why do you need me?" I asked, turning my head to look at him.
"You're stronger than you know, Rey." He replied simply.
My parents dumped me on Jakku, and I knew all along they weren't coming back.
"What are you going to do to me if I don't accept? Kill me? Starve me?" I snapped.
"Most likely." He replied, coldly. I shut my mouth quickly.
It's not any different than on Jakku. I'm still useless. I'll still go hungry.
"Fine." I answered. The words felt like sandpaper on my throat. I glared up at him.
He walked over to my chair and undid my cuffs. "I knew you would make the right choice."
