Ani's P.O.V.

"Okay... Jump!"

I command with a grin and Snips pounces up on my shoulder. I laugh, turning my head to look at her as she sits on my shoulder. I pet between her ears before pulling her to stand in front of me again. I'm kneeling in the center of Kylo's room; I've been trying to train her to do tricks for the past day. So far she's learned how to attack and pounce on command. Next I plan to treat her how to hide, that way we can play hid and seek. Our breakfast had arrived earlier; they bring Snips a little bowl of dead rats and give me a tray of more pleasant food. My dress hasn't got brought up yet for the day. I'm still in my nightgown but it's not noon yet, FN-2187 and the woman should come with both soon. It's been a day since Kylo left; I've been lonelier in the evening and when I sleep, but Snips is being more compliant because of it. She used to do her own thing in the evenings, but now she tries to get my attention on her when I'm lonely.

"Good girl." I smile, giving her a treat before repeating my order, "Now, attack."

She turns to the rat toy running and tries to pull it apart, growling. I relax my shoulders as I watch her proudly. Taking out another treat I toss is in the air, she drops her toy and jumps to catch it. Chewing it, Snip walks back to me and I pet her back as she finishes. A second later, I hear the front door open and we both turn our heads while sitting on the ground. A single stormtrooper comes in with his gun aimed at me with a dress in the other hand. I frown a little know this is not FN-2187, standing up I notice the woman isn't here today either. Glancing at his gun, I speak up in confusion. "Where's FN-2187? Where's my hairstylist?"

"That doesn't concern you." He snaps at me, aiming the gun more directly at my head. Snips gets into attack position as if she knows this is not our usual guard she likes. I used my foot to push Snips behind me a little to show not to attack yet. Taking a step closer to me the stormtrooper orders in a tone that sounds like any stormtrooper would have, "Walk to the corner and turn around."

"You must not know how this works, I see." I raise an eyebrow at him, staying still in the spot I'm standing. "I don't to go to the corner for you to put the dress down. You can just give it to me."

"That's not General Hux's orders. Now walk back."

"I don't know who that is but I know Kylo Ren and he knows I'm perfectly capable of standing where ever I please in his room." I explain with confidence, not liking how this guard is treating me. I feel like a prisoner again, growing impatient with him as I once did in my old cell. I haven't felt like a prisoner in weeks and I refuse to feel like one now, not after how hard I've tried to forget about it. Worry bubbles up in my mind at the thoughts of where FN-2187 and my stylist are. Putting my hands on my hips, I state in aggravation, "Where is my usual guard and stylist? They know this, have you talk to them-"

"I said move!"

The stormtrooper shouts and puts his blaster to my chest. Snip suddenly pounces on him, biting his ankle. His blaster aims down at her and I immediately grab it to point it away from her. His free hand then forms a fist and throws a punch to my face. I stubble back, letting go of his blaster to hold the side of my face. I feel the cheek stink from his punch, and the side of my face throbs from the pain. Staring at him in disbelief at what he's done; glancing down to Snips, still with a mouth full on his armor, I lower myself and frantically grab her. Just as she's in my hand, the trooper grabs a fistful of my hair and yanks me up to stand again. I shriek for his force and try to pull myself away from him.

The next moment, I get hit on the other side of my face by him swing his metal blaster at me. He lets go of my hair and I stumble back to the ground with Snips in my arms. Peering up at him, my face is completely in flames from pain. I can sense my cheek bigger with a bruise and the other with marks from the metal of the blaster scraping it. Quickly I put Snips in her cage and close the door so she's no longer in the crossfire. Spinning around to face the stormtrooper, his gun's still aimed at me. I feel the anger rush through me at the thought of him almost killing Snips; my hands clench into fists as I try to contain my will to attack at him.

"You're a dead man walking! You just sealed your own death!" I shout at him without thinking, no longer able to contain my anger towards him, "Do you have any idea who I am?" I continue, my body is buzzing with fire and I feel the hate rushing through my veins, "I'm Anakia Kenobi, you realized what Kylo Ren will do to you when I tell him this!" Slowly walking toward him, my hands feel hot like they're on fire, "He'll kill you without thought for laying a hand on me!" Tilting my head I calm down a little and think out loud with a sick manner, "No... Actually, he'll let me kill you while he watches. Now, get the hell out!"

Sensing the trooper's mind, I feel his uneasiness at my words. He backs up a little, staring at me. His gun is quivering in his hand now. He sets the dress on the desk chair before quickly backing up to the door. I nod happily at the sight of him retreating, and I walk back to the center of the room again. I feel unusual power filling my body from his panicked actions; his fear helps my rage calm down. Watching him with disgust, I call out one last thing before he leaves.

"You tell your commander what happened today and I'll tell Kylo Ren. Your commander might just kill you so he doesn't have to clean up the mess Kylo Ren will to do you when he gets back."

He's out of the door without another word, and once the door's shut, I spin back around to Snip's cage. Feeling all the violence leave my system, I kneel in front of the cage to find her in the corner, scared. I stare at her in panic, she's never been petrified of anything, not even Kylo Ren. Watching her in sorrow, I open the cage and she jumps out to hold me, trembling. I wrap an arm around her and pet her back, trying to calm her down. She's whimpering in my arms and I frown, wondering what has gotten her so fearful. It was only one foolish stormtrooper; he hadn't even shot the blaster.

~Two Days Later~

Sitting on the loveseat watching out the window, I feel tired; drained even. It's the third day since Kylo's has left; he should be here any time now. I'm in my nightgown and the dress the stormtrooper brought is still on the desk chair. They haven't brought me any food or clothes since the situation with him. They probably fear what will happen next time they come in and just decided to just wait until Kylo Ren gets back. I know that's their mistake and they're only making it worse by not giving me or Snips food. I'm feeling drained from the lack of food, but I'm not worried. Kylo will be back and fix this complete mess. Snip's laying in my lap as I watch the First Order in the hangar. I can tell she's hungry as well.

She has done little since the trooper brought the dress, as if she senses to that we need to pace out our energy until we get out next meal. She's sleeping at the moment, but I lazily look out the window, waiting to see Kylo arrive. My cheek's swollen and purple; the other side of my face has purple and green marks on them. The pain has dilated down to just a little sore unless I touch the marks. I would've been furious with Kylo for letting that happed but I keep reminding myself what the stormtrooper had said, General Hux, whoever that it is, commanded him. I know he's the reason for giving the trooper harsh orders toward me, and I'm finding myself wanting to know who he is now. Resting my head on the edge of the loveseat, my eyes want to close but I keep them open so I can see when Kylo gets here.

After half an hour, I find my eyes fluttering close just as a command-ship flies in the hangar and drops. I sit up a little when recognizing it's the one Kylo left on. Lifting my head off the loveseat, I get a better look out the window at the ship's door opening and stormtroopers walk out. Snip jumps on the back of the loveseat when noticing I'm regarding the window more attentively and do the same. We watch a stormtrooper walk out with a someone in cuffs; I assume they're a part of the resistance as I watch them being guided to a door. After a moment of looking around the Hangar, I finally see Kylo Ren walk out of the shuttle in his uniform and helmet. I let out a breath I didn't know I've been holding and turn to glance at Snips. She turns to stare at me as well, licking her lips.

The next second, we turn our heads back to the window at the same time. Watching Kylo storm across the hangar, I sense the mission didn't go exactly as planned. I see him lift his head toward the window I'm looking out of. A smile forms my lips, knowing he's looking for me in the window, or he at least senses me at the window watching him. His head drops after a minute just as he disappears into a door on the side of the hangar. I relax back in my seat in relief he'll be here soon, and my eyes leave the window to stare at Snips. I grow excited for him to return to the room and can't help but stand up from my position. Walking around the room patiently, I see Snips jump onto the bed, sensing we'll get fed soon. She tilts her head, smiling at me with her own excitement. Just staring at Snip's peace of mind, my mood brightens up. We both are now just counting on the moment Kylo walks through the bedroom door.
