*Author's Note*

Well, I told you guys that I would have a chapter up once a week, but I couldn't help myself! This has been a lot of fun so far, and I just can't stop writing!

Chapter 3

Rey followed Kylo as he led her through the Base. They were taking so many turns, Rey was actually glad Kylo was leading her, for she would get lost otherwise. She could've sworn they'd been through the same hallway three times already. Her legs burned from all the walking, and the blood from her arm wounds had dried, making the skin and cloths from her elbows to her fingertips a rusty brown color.

Finally after what seemed like hours, Kylo stopped walking. Rey could see many droids wheeling about, carrying syringes, bandages, and medical instruments. Rey had never seen anything like this before, so many droids. Back on Jakku, if she was wounded, she had to deal with it herself. She didn't have droids at her beck and call whenever she managed to get a little scrape. She was amazed, but felt a hint of jealousy in her. The First Order and everyone involved are wicked and cruel, so why do they get such luxuries?

As if Kylo could see the confusion and annoyance written on her face, he said, "Those are our medical droids. They take care of surgeries, repairs, and other medical nonsense. We have a very advanced system." He didn't know why, but he felt like he needed to explain himself and the First Order to her. She came from an uncivilized planet and wasn't used to the way things worked here. She needs to get used to it. I plan on having her stay for a very long time.

Rey scoffed at his comment about the droids and rolled her eyes, regaining her bitterness. Kylo took a few steps towards Rey, so they were only standing 2 feet apart. Rey had to crane her neck to look up at his mask. He rose his arms quickly and she flinched thinking he was going to hit her or try to read her mind again, but his hands went to his helmet and he took it off.

They looked into each other's eyes intensely, each daring the other to give up first. Rey noticed his chocolate brown eyes and how when he's not focused on hurting her or trying to intimidate her, they have a softness and a warmth to them that she liked. Kylo felt a rush of emotions as he looked into her eyes. They were beautiful, just like the rest of her. A warm, honey color. He wanted to kiss her. Right there, right then. His stomach fluttered like a little girl, and that's when he noticed how foolish he was being. I'm supposed to get the map from her and train her, not charm her into sleeping with me. Kylo withdrew and took a few steps back. Was he going to kiss me? Rey thought. She hated herself now because she didn't feel disgusted. Surely she didn't want him to kiss her, right? He's the enemy. Who knows how many people he's killed. But he looks so...

Shaking his head a bit, as if he was trying to shake off the feelings he just felt, "Come" Kylo said, leading her into a room and shutting the door behind them. There was a single metal cot in the corner with a chair beside it. On the wall across from the cot, there was a small sink and cabinet that held bandages, medicines, and other medical supplies. The room was a light grey with blue trim, which Rey appreciated, since the rest of this god-awful place had no other colors but black, red, and the occasional dark grey. "Sit on the bed" instructed Kylo as he sat his mask down and took his gloves off.

Rey didn't think that disobeying seemed like a good option since it did seem like he was helping her, so she did as told. She watched him as he opened up the cabinet and pulled out bandages and a jar that was filled with a white, jell-like substance. He also got out a cloth and a bottle filled with a clear liquid. He then took the chair and moved it so it was right in front of her. When he sat, the two were about at eye level because of his tall stature, with Rey just a couple inches higher.

He looked her in the eye again, the first time since their little staring contest, and reached for her right hand. This was the first time they had touched skin on skin, and Kylo inwardly sighed, enjoying the feel of her warm and smooth skin. He found the end of the cloth, and began to unwind the fabric around her arm. The cloth was sticky with blood and stuck to her wounds, making Rey cringe.

Finally, Kylo got the fabric off and stared at her arms. Not only were they covered in her new and old blood, but he could see nasty purple, blue, and black bruises around a deep wound in the middle of her forearm. He clenched his teeth together, trying not to get nauseous from the stench, and began to dab her arms with the cloth that he had dipped in the clear liquid. It stung so bad that Rey's tears were unwillingly falling from her eyes onto her cheeks. Kylo wanted to reach up and wipe her tears away, but he decided against it. He didn't know why he wanted to make her feel better.

When he finished cleaning off her arm, he took out the bandages and smeared the jelly onto them. He already knew that Rey didn't know what it was, so he answered her before she could ask, "Bacta. It'll help with the healing." Rey nodded her head and prepared for more pain. Kylo slowly wrapped up her arm in the bandages began working on the other. Her left arm didn't hurt any less than the right.

When Kylo was finished, he placed the remaining bandages back in the cabinet and turned to her.

"Follow me" was all he said. Rey really didn't like being ordered around, but she did what she was told and followed him out of the medic bay, passed all of the droids. Why didn't he let a droid care for me? Kylo knew what she was thinking. Because I wanted to touch you again, he thought. I seem to be drawn to you.

The walk to their next destination was not as long as it was to the medic bay, and Rey was grateful. They stopped in front of a pair of metal doors, and Kylo punched something into the keypad, making the doors open with a hiss. She followed him inside and looked around. There was a large bed in the middle of the room, with a small table beside it. On one of the metal walls, there was a desk and a large, stocked bookshelf. The corner of the room had a doorway, which she could only imagine led to the bathroom. Is this my room? I thought I was a prisoner.

"You will be staying in this room from now on. You are not to leave unless I accompany you. A droid will bring you food three times a day."

So she was still a prisoner.

"There are fresh clothes on the desk." And with that, Kylo left the room, closing the doors behind him.

The first thing Rey decided to do was to wash the filthy smell off of her. She hadn't bathed in days. She removed her robes and tunic, and stepped into the shower. Luckily, the bandages on her arms seemed to be waterproof. There were so many buttons, she didn't know what to do. Finally, she got the water to turn on, but it was ice cold. After tampering with it a little more, she finally was able to set the water to a warm temperature. Now for the soap. She pressed a button and a thick substance came out. It smelled good, so she put it in her hair. She also washed her body with it, not wanting to mess around with the buttons anymore. When she was finished, she got out and wrapped a fluffy towel around her and put on her clothes. Black, of course. She was given a pair of black tight-fitting pants that went to her mid calf and a black t-shirt. She sat on the bed and combed her hair with her fingers before lying back. She was almost certain this was the comfiest thing she'd ever laid on, and she drifted off to sleep within minutes.

"Where's the girl? I told you to bring her to me."

"I know how to get the map" spoke Kylo, ignoring his question. He hoped that Snoke would like his idea.

"Continue"

"I will charm the girl. Make her trust me, teach her the ways of the Force. Make her fall in love with me. Then, I will get the map." Kylo hoped that Snoke couldn't see his ulterior motives. He was interested in the girl. He felt a strong connection with her and he wanted to explore that.

"Do you really think she will fall in love with you? The scavenger seems to be very stubborn."

"I tended to her wounds and I gave her a room. I've already been in her mind. I know what she feels. It's possible. Very possible." Please. I want to teach her the Force. I want to be around her.

"Very well then. I will give you one month. You will train her and gain her trust. The training should come easy, for I can sense her power. You just have to persuade her to let the dark in. It will take time, but if you can't get the map, I will deal with the girl myself."

Keeping a wall up in his mind so Snoke wouldn't see, he thought about her. Snoke's comment sent chills down his spine. Sending her to Snoke would be a death sentence, either for her or for him. If Snoke thought the girl was more powerful than him, then Snoke would kill Kylo on the spot. If not, then the girl would die. The hologram disappeared leaving Kylo alone to his thoughts. This should be easy. The girl already has compassion for me. I've felt it. I just have to control myself so I don't scare her away.
