Kylo Ren P.O.V.
"Kylo!"
Pulling the towel away from my sweaty face, I hear someone calling my name in an alarm. I quickly put my shirt and helmet on before turning away from the table. I just finished my morning physical workout when I hear the voice of General Hux, the second closest man to Snoke. General Hux runs into my personal gym breathless, "Where- Kylo Ren. Have you not noticed we have a situation with your Kenobi?!"
"What are you talking about?" I spit out, annoyed at just the sight of him once I have turned around. I strap on my light saber and slowly stride toward him, "I locked Anakia in my room-"
"Not anymore. That Kenobi girl is slaughtering our soldiers as we speak!" He announces in the hysteria of becoming one of them, "She somehow got her hands on Mandalorian armor and a light saber. How could you let this happen?"
"What?" I let out in disbelief; immediately I stock toward him, feeling my anger forming quickly at the thought of what Anakia's doing at this moment. I had left her in my room this morning thinking she'd be good and stay put until I returned. The way she acted in the middle of the night had me at least think she would not try to run away from me. The anger consumes me when I realize the mistake of showing her the armor I saved for her. No doubt she also found the only rare color light saber I kept hidden. When I reach Hux we both storm the direction he just came from, peering at him through the mask I demand, "Where is she?"
"They notified me of her presence in a hall near the hangar." He explains in frustration about the situation I put us in. We race down the hall and I watch stormtroopers running in the same direction we're going. General Hux spits out just as heated as me, "Where did she get the armor and saber, Kylo? You told us she would stay in your room until further notice. Were you really stupid enough to keep her there with-"
"I will deal with her." I interrupt him and point a threatening finger his way, "Just show me where she is."
The man clenches his face saying nothing more, he only walks faster to the last spot she was at. I feel anger swell at the idea of Ani disobeying me. This is what I worried about yesterday. After the past 24 hours, I had left my guard down thinking she is going to listening to me. Of course, she doesn't, but she just waits for the opportunity to strike back. If I'm able to contain her again, I will have to fight with both Snoke and General Hux on why we shouldn't kill her. The more stormtroopers she kills, the harder it will be for me to persuade them she's an important asset to the First Order. Hux directs me through a few halls until I can feel her with the force myself. I walk past Hux as the feeling of her force gets louder in my mind. Turning another corner I see her at the very end of the hall, she's two turns away from reaching the hangar.
The sight of her starts General Hux to back up and go back down the hall we just came from. Ani finishes slicing off a trooper's head when she glances up to find me at the other end of the hall. For a second we watch each other across the hall covered in our helmets. I never thought I see the day with her in her father's armor, but then again, I bet she never thought of seeing me in a black helmet from the knights of Ren. She holding the purple light saber tightly in her hand and I know without a doubt I will have to rip it out of her grasp. Anakia hasn't held a saber in years, I know she won't be too keen on giving it up so soon. Stalking toward her down the hall, I call out to her through my mask in a dark robotic voice, "Anakia. Stop now while you can."
"Let me go." She speaks up through her own helmet and slowly walks toward me, "... And I'll spare your life."
"You know I won't be doing that, Ani. You're mine."
I grunt out while taking out my light saber; I enact the red lasers and I can tell in her mind she's anxious. She hasn't seen my new light saber or my new powers and combat skills from the Darkside. I know she's mindful that I know more than her now, but won't surrender to me without a trying to fight. I walk faster to reach her hoping I will end this quickly but once I do she immediately swings her sword at me. Our saber push against each other and I can already tell my strength outweighs hers.
"Anakia, you know you can't win this." I let out as I push my sword against her, "You've done enough damage already. Surrender now."
"No. I won't. I can't."
She grits out through her helmet before pulling back and spins to try stabbing me. I deflect it and it cuts into the wall beside us. Kicking me back, Ani pulls her saber out of the wall and swings again before spinning it in an attack I remember practicing with her years ago. All her moves are old and rusty, no one here knows that but me. To everyone else, she's just as dangerous as me, but I know better, I know her odds of winning are tiny. I match her quick swings with my own and it doesn't take long for the walls beside us to become covered in cuts of all sorts. As our saber push against one another, I'm able to turn her so she backs against the wall and she stuck between it and me. Our sabers move closer to her neck and I speak up, breathing heavily.
"This is your last warning, end this before I have to."
I can't see her expression through her helmet, but I can feel her getting tired from being overworked. She hasn't had the stamina for combat in years of being locked in a cell, but she still has the knowledge of one. Without me, she would have gone through the building killing as she pleases until she found the ship she wanted. Not answering me or giving up, Ani sweeps my feet and I fall back. She jumps above me from where I'm laying on my back and swings her saber right at my head. I block it, but she's using all her strength and body weight on her saber to push it against mine. I feel the old sensation of how we used to practice combat together and I almost weaken my hand against the saber as I used to for her. I promptly get my thoughts out of memories and push her off me with the force. She slides down the hall and her helmet comes off from how big it is on her head.
I stand up the same time she does, I then see her face and long blonde hair. Her expression looks heartbroken and full of conflict, but only gets masks with hatred. Running toward me swinging her light saber, I wield mine down on top of hers and turn my blade against hers in a familiar position. They clash with a loud sound and I know from this stance I will win. This was a stance I always beat her in. With my saber pushing down on hers, she holds hers up above her head against mine. I know she will eventually kneel in exhaustion as she used to when we trained with Luke. It takes a moment but once one of her knees falls to the ground; I know she's finished and I can see it in her eyes that she knows as well. Ani realizes now after all this time she's never been able to get out of this stance with me because of my overpowering strength. She's looking up at me in utter disbelief that she fell into the trap I used to always do to end our fights. Pushing harder against the sabers above her, I whisper out in almost a plead.
"That's enough, Ani. You're done."
She looks at our light sabers before looking through them to my mask. I can feel the conflict within her thoughts and memories of how I always bested her with this move. After all these years Luke never taught her how to get out of this, he always ended it before she could lose. I see tears rolling down her cheeks and for the first time I see the doubt of Luke being a great Jedi in her mind. Her mind is so loud with the force that I could hear her word for word inside her mind. I feel the guilt inside me of her finally realizing what Luke and I have always done throughout training. It was one reason I resented him, but never had the heart to tell her. She beat me sometimes, but never with this move and I could always get her into this position. After a moment of her feeling that Luke had failed her as a Master, her grip weakens. Mine does as well, and she then shields her saber, I pull back my own but in the next second; she enacts hers again and aims to stab my neck. Without hesitation, I grab the wrist holding the saber and twist it away from me. Out of the pain in her arm, she lets go so it back to the ground shrieking.
An angry swell in me at the sight of her almost killing me with a cheap shot. I put my saber back to my side before grabbing hers. With my hand still holding her wrist, I pull her to stand back on her feet. I tug on her brutally with a crushing grip on her wrist, she's stumbling to follow me but has no choice otherwise. I grab her helmet on the floor as well on my way back to my room. I can feel her attempting to free herself, but my strength is no match for her at this point. As I walk toward my room, I see all the stormtroopers she butchered before I found her. The more I see, the more I feel my rage grows, and once we reach my room, I'm completely levied at her. I see someone working on my door that's wide open; I assume they're trying to fix it from whatever she did to it to get out.
I pay no attention to them glancing at me and Anakia as they work; I toss Ani on my bed without thinking. I hold her there by the force while settling her helmet and saber on my desk. She watching me nervously without saying a word as I walk to my cupboards. Opening one up I take out a chain with cuffs at the end, turning back to her I can see her wanting to flinch away from me on the bed. She still cannot move because of my force hold on her, I go to the side of the bed and I feel her eyes glued to me and the chains. Letting the chains drop on the bed, I release my hold on her with the Force and order harshly through my mask.
"Take off the armor." When she doesn't answer or react, I shout in fury, "I will rip it to shreds if I have to get it off you myself! Do you hear me!"
I see the fear of me cross her eyes; she stands up and silently stripping it off. I watch her slowly take it off inches from me and when I see her flesh underneath it, I feel myself calm down slightly. I know I must stay on my guard though as the armor drops to the floor in front of me I can't help but feel aroused by her. I take in the observation that she's still in her nightgown from this morning and I have to stop myself from touching the curves the fabric shows me. It shows me everything it has tempted me to touch since seeing her again, but I know that because of what she's done, I can't think about my selfish desires right now. Wordlessly, I cuff her wrists in the metal before attaching it to my bedpost. The chain is just long enough that she can stand up on at the floor around the bed but not any further.
"I will take these off you once you've earned my trust."
I state before pushing her back onto my bed; I watch her plop on top of the covers and struggle to sit up with her hands connect in the cuffs. Her nightgown gets pushed up and suddenly feel like I made the mistake of keeping her tied to my bed. I didn't want her anywhere else though, what am I supposed to do with her when she keeps trying to run away. I told her this would happen if she tried to escape; I thought that was enough for her to listen to me. Seeing the sight of her now on my bed, I feel as if now I have my own restrains on. Since I had her sent to my room, I felt the need for her body and her touch; I have been able to resist temptation from her hate toward me. Now, with her powerless and completely at my hands of my mercy, I find myself wanting it more. Knowing I need to stop these thoughts before I can absurdly act on them, I spin around on my heels and storm out the door.
I see the workers looking at me and her in shock, but quickly turn back to the broken door to fix it faster. I leave the room with Anakia in the bed, burning holes in my back. I feel a sense of relief that she has to stay there until I return. Now I have no worries that she'll escape, I'll discuss this more with her when I feel my angry fade away, but first I must defuse the anger in everyone she pissed off today. Walking down the hall I can still feel her thoughts with the force and to my surprise, they aren't emotions I thought she is having right now. Her feelings are filled with hurt but not toward him, toward Luke, her training, and everything she thought she knew two years ago. I can tell she feels defeated and at a loss with a sense of direction now. I feel pity take over me at the thought of Ani, and I want to tell her my reasoning for destroying the Jedi Temple. That way she can have a better understanding of what she's feeling right now, but she still has yet to ask me why.
