AN: Hi everyone! As I post this I've received over 300 views on this. It just makes me so happy that you guys are enjoying this as much as I am.

SaintsFan1- You'll see a little bit more of Hux and Kylo's banter. And who knows, maybe something will go wrong. The bond between Kylo and Rey is definitely growing, as you'll see in this chapter. What Luke has to say to Rey just might make things more difficult for her. Thanks again for reviewing!

Enough from me, let's continue on.


Chapter 6

As Kylo emerged from his meditation, there was a knock at his door. He stood up and went to go answer it. The helmet of Captain Phasma appeared and she didn't hesitate in delivering her message. "Sir, we have hired the bounty hunters and they are on their way to distract the enemy fighters. Your ship has been prepared for you. General Hux is already aboard the Finalizer and is awaiting your arrival."

"Thank you Captain. Inform Hux that I'll arrive shortly."

"Of course sir." Phasma walked away as Kylo turned to collect a few belongings. He grabbed a few extra clothes, not like he'd need much. He had his own room on the star destroyer with necessary items fully stocked. He gently grabbed his grandfather's helmet and put it in a protective case.

When he finished packing whatever he needed, Kylo started to head for the hanger to board his command shuttle. As he boarded he situated himself on the ship and prepped for take off, he started it up and left the hangar.

When he arrived on the Finalizer he was greeted by a line of stormtroopers and General Hux himself. Kylo grabbed his few belongings and walked to Hux. "What's the status report General?"

"The bounty hunters have just arrived at the sight of the Resistance fighters, we are making preparations to depart." As if on cue the ship entered the jump to lightspeed and they would arrive at Subterrel in about an hour or two. Kylo and Hux started to walk out of the hangar.

"General, have you informed Sergeant Barnes of our arrival?" Hux scoffed at this, he felt offended at the fact that he needed to be asked such a question. Kylo smiled at this, there was nothing he enjoyed more than making Hux upset.

"Of course I did, they have already prepared a place for us to land the Finalizer."

"Excellent, how long until the gun is installed?"

"It should take about 2 or 3 days. They just have to make the proper attachments and we'll be all set." Kylo thought about this, he wondered if it would be installed in time before the Resistance moves. He searched Rey's mind to see if she knew when they were moving. He recalled a memory from earlier today and he saw and heard his mother tell his uncle that they'd leave in 3 or 4 days.

Everything was going according to plan, the Supreme Leader would be pleased. Kylo turned to Hux before he went off to his room. "Very good Hux, I'll be in my quarters if you need me. Alert me when we have reached Subterrel." He went down the corridor that led to his room before Hux could even get a word in.

When he arrived he quickly unpacked and sent in his order for dinner. He didn't like eating with all of the troops and officers, it was too noisy and distracting. He liked eating in his room where it was quieter.

As his food arrived and he began to eat he felt a wave of uneasiness wash over him. Rey was afraid of something, and he pondered as to what could be bothering the girl.


The walk to meet Luke and Leia felt like ages. Rey kept asking Poe why they wanted to see her, but he wouldn't say. Either he didn't know or he just didn't feel like telling her.

As they entered the conference room she felt the attention of the two siblings immediately shift towards her. Leia looked at Poe and thanked him for bringing her. Poe gave Rey a quick glance before leaving and having the door close behind him.

Leia turned to her and motioned for her to sit down. Just then a droid came out and presented each one of them with food. "I thought that it'd be nice to talk over dinner. Besides, you and Luke must be tired of eating fish."

Rey didn't know it but she could feel her stomach growl as she looked at the steak in front of her. It wasn't the best, with the Resistance not having several resources, but it was better than the portions she was used to having. And she inwardly admitted that she was getting tired of having fish.

The three ate in silence for a few minutes before Luke spoke up. "Rey, do you know why we wanted to talk to you?" She shook her head as she still had food in her mouth. Leia decided to intervene at that moment.

"Luke told me about your connection with Kylo." Leia stopped, it was hard for her not to say her son's real name. "We're concerned for you Rey."

She looked at the two of them, unable to comprehend what they were saying. "I don't understand what you mean. I'm not considering going to the Dark Side because I'm linked to him."

Luke sighed as he tried to make their intentions clearer. "That's not all Rey. You've been keeping something from me and I'd like to know if it's related to him." Rey looked down at her food. Kylo was right about Luke finding out sooner or later.

She looked up and sighed. "Yes master. The day you told me about what I had with Kylo I decided to contact him and we had a little talk. He reached out to me aboard the Falcon as well and I let him in." She looked at the twins, they had worried looks on their faces.

Leia turned to look at her brother before going back to her. "We were afraid this might happen. He's trying to convince you to join him Rey."

"I know, he's tried but I denied it. And not all of the conversations were about the Dark Side you know. He was interested in my past and he listened to what I had to say."

Luke looked upset, she knew this would happen if she told him. "That's exactly why I didn't want you to talk to him Rey. He's getting inside your head, he's trying to get you to trust him." Rey was starting to get frustrated.

"I know that master, and I don't trust him. But he's keeping his word on not bothering me for the rest of the day. He's respecting my wish to be left alone." Luke sighed at this.

"It's just another trick Rey, you can't keep falling for them."

"I'm not falling for any of his tricks! The only reason I let him in was to make sure that he's kept out!"

"Then why do you keep letting him in Rey! You're only giving him more influence over you!" Rey couldn't take anymore so she got up and left to go back to her room. Luke sat down and ran his fingers through his gray hair. After being silent, Leia spoke up.

"What if she's telling the truth Luke, she told you that he acted different with her. Maybe there's still light inside him."

"I wouldn't count on it Leia. It's all just an act, Rey is powerful with the force and Snoke will do whatever means necessary to bring her over to him. I don't know how we're going to get through training tomorrow. I could feel her anger through the force, she was beginning to channel it before she left. If she's still like that, I fear for the worse."

Leia put her arm around her brother to try and comfort him. "She just needs some time to cool down. She's as stubborn as you are and she'll eventually realise that you're only trying to help her."

"I really hope that you're right Leia." The two of them finished their dinner in silence, pondering about what to do with Rey.

Rey ran all the way back to her room, she was so angry at Luke for thinking that she'd be tempted to go join Kylo. He only mentioned the Dark Side once every time she talked to him, the rest of the conversations had been about her. And she could tell through his emotions that he was being sincere towards her.

It just made her so upset that nobody would believe her. Tears had started to form in her eyes and slowly drip down her face. She decided that she needed to contact the only person she could talk to openly about this situation.

Rey closed her eyes until she could feel the warmth envelope her.


When Kylo finished eating he sent the tray of food back and just sat on his bed and looked out the window. It was peaceful, but he could feel red hot anger coming from within. And for once it wasn't him that was the cause of it. Rey was really made at someone, he could only hope that it was either Skywalker or FN-2187.

Kylo suddenly felt her presence within him and he was shocked. He thought that she didn't want to talk to him for the rest of the day. "Rey, is everything alright? I thought we agreed that I'd leave you alone for today."

"I know and I'm sorry I just needed someone to talk to who'd listen to me." Kylo smiled, this was perfect. She was coming to him for comfort, if he played his cards right he'd be able to bring her back to Snoke with no problems.

"What happened Rey? I could feel an immense amount of anger coming from you."

"It's Luke, he told General Organa about the connection that I have with you." Kylo frowned at the mention of his mother. He just hoped that she didn't get any ideas to try and bring Ben Solo back through Rey.

"That couldn't have been the source of your anger Rey. Did you have an argument with them?"

"Yes, they said that they were concerned that if I kept acknowledging the connection between us it would bring me to the Dark Side."

"That can't be it, yes I've mentioned the Dark Side once or twice but, you never really showed an interest. The only way that you would fully be able to turn is if you had so much anger inside of you and you used it to channel the force to make you more powerful." Yes, Kylo was trying to turn her, but you can't just force someone to go from the light to the dark. It has to call out to you and make you want it.

"I tried saying that you only mentioned it twice and that it was briefly, but Luke didn't believe me. I also told him that the only reason I let you in was to get you out, but he didn't like the sound of that."

"Of course he wouldn't. That old fool doesn't want you to have anything to do with me, he wants to keep me out just as badly as you do. Except you had the decency to ask." He could feel her beginning to calm down, but the anger towards Skywalker was still there.

"He also didn't like the fact that you were trying to know about my past, he says that you're trying to get me to trust him."

"And do you believe him?" He could sense confliction inside of her.

"Well, I guess. I mean that is what you're trying to do right?'

"Yes, but you have to understand Rey that I don't want you to be mad at me every time we go into each other's heads. I want you to feel like you can talk to me like you are right now if you ever feel upset or confused." Kylo meant what he said, he wanted her to feel like she could come to him. If she came to him with problems like this, it'd be easier for him to gain her full and complete trust.

He could tell that she still didn't trust him, that's to be expected. But if she kept opening up to him she might just start to feel more comfortable around him, which could make things easier for him.

"Thanks Kylo, but you have to understand that I still don't trust you.'

"I know Rey, and I don't expect you to. I just want you to be more comfortable with me. Is there anything else that happened to make you upset?"

"Well, Luke said that I was falling for your tricks by making me believe that you kept your promise."

"I did keep my promise Rey. And I haven't pulled any tricks on you at all. Feel free to prove me wrong." He could feel her inside his head, he didn't keep a single thing hidden from what he had said to her. He had told her the truth and only the truth. He'd never use any other way to persuade her to join him, it just wouldn't be right. He needed her to come on her own.

"I believe you. I know that you didn't use any tricks on me. I just wanted to make sure."

"Is there anything else that he told you?"

"He said that by letting you in I'm giving you influence over me."

"That's not true, I haven't once told you to do anything ever since you found out about the connection between us." Kylo started to get angry at Luke for accusing him of such things. It was to be expected, but the fact that he thinks that he's forcing her to do things just made him pissed off.

"I know that it's not true Kylo. And I sense your anger towards him, trust me mine is heading in a similar direction. Thanks again for letting me vent out Kylo, I didn't mean to bother you." He smiled, he liked the fact that she felt bad for bothering him. It's as if she cared about what he'd been doing.

"It's fine Rey, I actually enjoyed it. Conversations with General Hux aren't always so peaceful." He thought he could her laugh a little bit and he couldn't help but chuckle. "Is there anything else that you need Rey?"

"Actually I do have a question for you."

"Alright shoot."

"Well, since we haven't talked since this morning, I couldn't help but feel empty and kind of cold inside. I was just wondering if you felt the same way."

"As a matter of fact I did. It was a little disturbing actually. We probably shouldn't stop talking to each other for long periods of time. I don't know what will we happen if we do, but that emptiness made me uncomfortable."

"Yeah, we should probably talk to each other every couple of hours. I didn't like that feeling either. It made me feel alone."

"Yeah that's a good idea. It's getting kind of late, we should be getting to bed. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm a lot calmer. I'm still mad at Luke but I wasn't as mad as before."

"That's good to hear." If that anger stayed inside of her he might just be able to help her channel it when he goes to collect her.

"I'm going to bed, goodnight Kylo."

"Night Rey." With that, Kylo felt her presence within him leave. He changed his clothes and looked out of his window. The ship had just come out of hyperspace and he could see the planet straight in front of him. He heard a stormtrooper announce that they have arrived and that they would land in the morning.

He dismissed the stormtrooper from inside his room and climbed into bed. He was surprised that Hux didn't inform him himself, but he didn't think anything of it.

Kylo closed his eyes and sleep came peacefully to him.


AN: I hope you guys liked it. Rey's starting to have mixed feelings towards Luke, hopefully he won't prove Kylo right and hold back on her.

Please feel free to review, it really makes my day when you do.

See you in the next chapter everyone!
