AN: Hey everyone! Sorry for updating so late in the day, I had another college tour. :( The campus was nice though so I didn't mind.

I'd like to thank C.Z.B. for following this, it means a lot. So thanks!

I hope that you guys are liking this so far, so let's continue with the next installment.

Chapter 7

As Rey had awoken, she thought about what Kylo had said to her. He helped her to calm down and actually cared about her feelings. She still didn't trust the man, but it comforted her knowing that he was willing to listen to her problems and not judge her.

Rey sat with Poe at breakfast, he kept badgering her about her talk with Luke and Leia. She didn't want to tell him about Kylo, for fear he might lash out and make a scene. She told him that they just wanted to know about what she was up to. She tried to keep it as vague as possible.

This kept Poe satisfied and she let out a small sigh of relief that she wouldn't have to go through what happened last night again. As she left the cafeteria to train with Luke she could feel Kylo's warmth from within her. It made her less nervous of facing her master after what happened.

She was to meet Luke in a small clearing not too far in the woods surrounding the base. As she approached she could see him meditating, Luke sensed she was near and opened his eyes. His face had worry lines around it, no doubt from her.

He didn't really talk to her besides giving instructions for training, otherwise it was silent. They sparred for 3 hours and focused on manipulating the force for the rest of the time. He was trying to teach her how to push out through the force to knock over enemies or move things out of the way without lifting them up.

Rey was having great difficulty, she could muster up enough of the force to slightly move a crate, but nothing else came out. She could feel fear coming from Luke, fear of her power and what she would do if she joined Kylo.

This started to bring the anger from yesterday out again, she couldn't control it. The fact that he still didn't want to listen to what she'd said made her blood pressure rise. It was becoming too much for her and she needed to let it out.

She outstretched her arms and focused on the force surrounding her. She pushed out with all of her strength and she could feel herself making the crate go back. She didn't stop until she could feel her anger leave her. She looked up and saw that she was able to push the crate out of the clearing and into the woods.

She could still make out the crate, but it was quite a distance away. She smiled, she couldn't believe that she'd just done that. She turned to her master and saw him a couple feet away on the ground. Rey was confused, how did she manage to push Luke back as well, she had been focusing on the crate the whole time.

As Luke got up, he started to walk away from her and towards the base. "Training is over for today. Meet back here tomorrow." Rey saw the shock on his face, she thought that he'd be impressed over what she just done. She just stood there, looking around her until she left to go back.

They'd been working for hours and she would be able to have a late lunch/early dinner. As she entered the cafeteria, she took her food and made her way over to her usual table. As she ate she could feel the emptiness starting to return, she made a mental note to talk to Kylo when she returned to her room.

Poe had walked in and sat down with his food across from her. "Hey Rey."

She looked up at her friend before replying. "Hey. How are things going with the move?"

"On this end it's okay, but there's been trouble at the new base." Rey stopped eating and looked down. She hoped that Kylo didn't do anything, the last thing she needed was to worry about him ruining their plans, or somehow hurting himself. She stopped her thoughts short on that last part. Since when did she care about his safety, she should be more concerned with her friends.

She put it out of her mind as she looked at Poe. "What do you mean by trouble?"

"Well, a couple of bounty hunters showed up and just started attacking our fighters. It wasn't anything too bad."

"Why would bounty hunters attack us?"

"I don't know, it was probably a mistake. They haven't come back but just in case a few more pilots are going over there." Rey wondered if Kylo had anything to do with this.

"Are you going with them?"

"Nah, I'm one of the pilots escorting the other ships just in case something happens while we move. I'm not going anywhere."

"That's good to hear." She needed some company around here and if Poe were to leave she'd be all alone. Well not all alone, just alone on the base. She could feel the emptiness starting to grow inside of her. It made her shudder from the cold feeling.

"Are you okay Rey?"

"Uh yeah. It's just a little drafty in here."

"Um okay. So how was training?"

"It was fine. We sparred and just practiced channeling the force. I did force push a large crate back like 15 or more feet." Poe's eyes widened on hearing this.

"Whoa! That's amazing Rey! Luke must be so proud of you." She looked down at her empty tray with sad eyes. If only she knew if that were true.

"Yeah, I guess so." She sighed and moved to get up.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm kind of tired from training. I'm gonna go rest for a little bit."

"Alright, see you later Rey." Rey left to go to her room, she walked as fast as she could. She was starting to feel cold and she felt so empty that not even talking to Poe could fill it.

When she reached her room she closed the door and sat on her bed. She closed her eyes and reached out until she could feel the coldness go away. It was soon replaced with red hot heat and it made her emptiness feel full.

"Hey Kylo."

"Hey Rey, how was training?"

"It was fine. Luke didn't really talk much."

"I figured as much over what happened yesterday."

"Yeah, so how are things on your end."

"Fine, we're still recovering over what happened with Starkiller." She could tell that he was holding back from her. She decided to press on.

"Are you sure? Is there anything else that you've been working on?"

"You know I can't tell you that Rey. We may be getting along right now, but we're still enemies."

"Yeah I know. Just thought I'd ask."

"You seem a little distracted. Is everything alright?"

"I don't know, something happened during training today and Luke shut me out because of it." She could feel him starting to get ancy.

"What happened Rey? I felt your anger return for a short period of time."

"I force pushed a large crate a couple of feet away into the woods. I was so angry with Luke that it just all came out." He fell silent for a few moments.

"I see, is that all?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?"

"No no, not at all. I'm just thinking about how much potential you have from that result alone. You have more power than you realise. With the right help, you could become more powerful than Skywalker himself." She considered his words, it made her happy that someone believed that she had potential. But she caught on what he was doing.

"Don't think that I'll come to the Dark Side because of that one moment Kylo. I'll never join Snoke."

"I know Rey. I'm just saying that I know what you can become. From the way Luke reacted it sounds like he might start to hold back on you."

"He'd never do that to me. He doesn't want me to turn to the darkness." She was starting to get mad at him for even bringing that up. She was already confused with her feelings towards her master, she didn't need to bring this back into her mind.

"I'm just saying that it's a possibility Rey. I want you to consider all of your options."

"I don't need any options and I don't need you to train me." She could feel him starting to get agitated.

"Fine, do whatever you think is best for you. But if Luke does start to hold back on you just know that I'm here for you." She could hear the sincerity in his voice, she felt through his thoughts to see if he was telling the truth. Shockingly enough he was, since when did he care so much about her?

"Um thanks for the concern, I think." She felt him hesitate for a moment before responding.

"Uh yeah. No problem. Um I gotta go, we'll talk later."

"Yeeaah, bye." She felt him leave her and she was all alone again. That was a little awkward, she could feel him getting a little uncomfortable with the situation.

Rey really hoped that Luke wouldn't hold back on her, she didn't mean to use the force that way, it just came out. He was already becoming closed off again, she didn't want to lose anyone else. At least Kylo saw the potential in her, and he did sound impressed.

She growled, she didn't need him starting to weasel his way into her head and persuade her to join him. All of a sudden her door opened and Poe was standing in the middle of her room. He was completely out of breath from running over here.

"Poe what's wrong?" He took a minute to catch his breath before speaking.

"It's Finn." Rey's heart stopped, she hoped nothing bad had happened.

"What do you mean. What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"

"He's awake."

"What?"

"Finn's awake Rey." Her face was full of shock, she and Poe ran straight towards the med bay. All of her thoughts about Kylo had left her mind, the only person she cared about right now was Finn.

Kylo had been completely bored since the Finalizer had landed on Subterrel. It was an old mining planet and there wasn't much for him to do. He checked on the manufacturing of the weapon to see how many they had done with Hux.

It wasn't all that pleasant, Hux kept complaining that there weren't enough. They had about 50-60 complete a day, and of course that wasn't good enough for Hux. As Hux left, he told Sergeant Barnes, to keep the production schedule the same and to just produce a little extra more to keep Hux happy.

With that out of the way they reviewed the plans for the attack on the Resistance. They would attack as soon as every ship had landed, but Kylo didn't like it. If they attacked immediately, he wouldn't have enough time to get Rey. He suggested that they wait a couple of hours after they have landed. Hux of course disagreed.

"Why would we withhold our attack for a few hours when the Resistance will be at it's weakest. There must be something wrong with your brain Ren." Kylo growled at this, he hated how Hux questioned everything that he did.

"For your information General, I have orders from the Supreme Leader to collect something from the Resistance, and I'll need time to get it and make sure that it's there."

"And what could be so important that you need to go and collect it yourself hmm."

"I don't think that's any of your concern General."

"Oh I think it is, it wouldn't happen to be a certain girl now would it." Kylo was shocked, how did he know about his plan. He began to squeeze his fingers and he started to force choke Hux.

"How did you know about my plan?!" He heard Hux chuckle and he tightened his grip. Hux was barely able to speak, but he got out his answer.

"I didn't. It was a guess. By your actions I assume I'm right." Kylo let him go, Snoke would kill him if he killed his best General.

"You will not fire until I'm off that planet, is that understood."

"Why should I, after what happened last time with the girl why would you bother to get her. Maybe I will fire." Kylo growled at his words.

"If you do you'll have killed the only force sensitive on our side that isn't the Supreme Leader. And besides, Snoke is giving the order to fire. You wouldn't want to disobey him now would you." He could see Hux beginning to get upset.

"Oh shut up Ren. For the record I think this is a bad idea."

"Oh don't worry, with no one to run back to she won't be leaving." After that delightful conversation he retreated back to his room on the ship. He could feel Rey getting angry, he sensed that it was still her anger from yesterday. From her thoughts, he found that she was training with Skywalker.

This made him smile, she was using her anger to control the force, this looked very promising. When she had contacted him he tried to confirm his theory, and he was right. He hid his true thoughts on the matter and tried to just sound impressed in her skill. And he was indeed impressed, for someone who's never done that it was extremely impressive.

He had tried to suggest his help if Luke held back on her, and he knew that he would after witnessing that. His suggestion had fallen on deaf ears, but it didn't matter. She'd eventually come to him for training when she realized he was right.

When she had thanked him for his concern, he wasn't sure how to respond. He wasn't the type to feel concern for others and it made him uncomfortable, so he ended the conversation. He was currently on his way to the holographic chamber to speak to Snoke about this development.

As he entered a giant image of his master appeared. He was obviously shorter in person, but it never ceased to amaze him as to how menacing he looked on that projector. "Kylo Ren, how are preparations for the weapon?"

"Things are running smoothly master, it should be fully operational within the span of 2 days."

"Excellent. What about the girl?"

"She had an argument with Skywalker yesterday and since then has felt intense anger towards him. During training she channeled that anger and was able to force push a large crate several feet into the woods."

"Hmm, an interesting development. Has she considered coming to the Dark Side?"

"No master, she said that she didn't mean to do it. I believe that the only way for her to join us is if Skywalker shuts her out. She'll have no choice but to train with me. If she refuses I'll only teach her the basics and wait until she's ready to use the darkness."

"Very well, see to it that this comes to occur."

"Yes master." Kylo stopped, he could feel something inside of him change. Rey's heart was beating, she was nervous yet happy at the same time. He probed her mind as to see what had caused the sudden change of emotion. All he saw in her mind was the traitor, and from what he could piece together, he was awake.

One of Kylo's fears towards Rey had come to light, because FN-2187 was awake there was no trace of Kylo in her mind. All of her thoughts were focused on him. Snoke sensed something wrong with him immediately. "What's wrong my apprentice?"

"The traitor has awoken master, all of her thoughts center around him. If she stays with him she won't want to leave."

"This is a problem. We have to find a way to make her upset with him."

"But how master?"

"Convince her to confide in him about you."

"She won't do it. She doesn't want to lose anymore people."

"It's the only chance that we have. Go."

"Yes master." As Kylo left the chamber he was unsure of what to do. He couldn't disobey Snoke, but at the same time he didn't want to influence Rey's decision. She'd never forgive him if he did.

He returned to his room and collapsed on his bed, the next 2 days on this planet were going to be very complicated.

Rey just couldn't move her feet fast enough to get to Finn. When they did arrive she could barely see him. There were a bunch of medics surrounding him and a couple of officers, including Leia. Leia saw that Rey was outside the door and she left the room.

"How is he?"

"He's perfectly fine. He'll be able to move around tomorrow." Rey sighed with relief upon hearing this. Leia left and soon all of the medics and officers cleared out of the room as well. She and Poe immediately went in to see their friend.

"Poe!"

"Finn! It's so good to see you buddy!"

"You too! How long was I out?"

"About 2 weeks."

"Really? Huh, that's not too bad."

"Trust me, it was torture not having someone around to hang with. I was glad Rey came back when she did." Finn turned to look for Rey, he hadn't seen her come in. She was still by the door staring at him.

"Rey!"

"Finn!" She came in to hug him with tears in her eyes. "I've missed you so much. I was starting to think that you'd never wake up." Finn looked into her eyes as she pulled out of the hug.

"I'd never do that to you Rey. I missed you too, well I was asleep so I don't think that I could actually miss you." The three of them laughed.

Poe smiled at him. "Well I'm glad that you haven't changed bud."

"Haha yeah. Rey why did you leave?"

"Oh I went to go look for Luke Skywalker."

"No way! Did you find him?"

"Yup he's on the base."

"Tomorrow you're so introducing me to him."

"Haha, sure Finn." Suddenly she felt worry and fear wash over her. Kylo knew that Finn was awake, and he was scared that she'd forget about him. She looked away from her friends. How could she forget about him, why would he be afraid of that.

That's when it hit her, she started to probe his thoughts and sure enough she found what she was looking for. He knew that she had stopped thinking about him since Finn woke up, and he was right. She didn't like causing this feeling in him, it made her uncomfortable. He was afraid that he'd lose her attention, that she would stop talking to him if he didn't do something.

She sent a small message to him to ease his fears. "Don't worry, I'll never leave you. I'd never forget about what we have." She could still feel the worry and fear, but it wasn't as intense as before. Suddenly Finn's voice brought her out of her head.

"Are you okay Rey?"

"Um yeah I'm fine." Poe spoke up.

"Are you sure Rey, you're acting the same as in the cafeteria. Is there something that you're not telling us." Rey didn't want to tell them about Kylo, she didn't want them to be mad at her."

"Everything's fine, I'm just gonna go to bed. Goodnight guys." She gave Finn a hug and left straight for her room.

"What's with Rey?"

"I don't know Finn but I plan to find out." The two kept looking at the door, trying to figure out what their friend was hiding from them.

AN: I hope you guys liked it, it's my longest chapter yet and it took me awhile to finish it.

I just realized that I end most of the chapters at the end of the day. It won't be like that for the whole thing, I'm just trying to get through all the build up. This way I don't have to make you guys wait forever to have them meet.

Feel free to review or share any suggestions.

I'll see you again in chapter 8, bye!
