AN: Hey guys! This story has reached over 3,000 views! Yay! (Take that criticizing family members and friends! :p) Anyway, thanks for everyone who reviews, favorites, and follows this. I couldn't have been able to do this without you! And we're already on chapter 25, time really flies.

I'm going to try and update earlier than I've previously been. My dad has changed the wi-fi for the hundredth time so that my brother and I can't use it. He rigged it so that it shuts off at 11 PM. So yeah, just thought I'd let you guys know.

Also, my high school tennis tryouts starts all next week (although it doesn't matter because seniors make the team anyway) and my work hours were raised to where I go in from 3-9. So I don't know how I'll update before 11 but I'll try and make it work.

I'd like to thank BetterinTexas/SpeedForce 1229 (It's cool how you have two accounts on here.) and leopards200 for favoriting this it means a lot. So thanks!

SaintsFan1- Yeah, it is kind of hard to root for Finn at this point. I guess he is sort of like Kylo, just without the anger issues, lightsaber, rank, experience, and trying to conquer the galaxy. Kylo's going to try everything he can to get her back to him, she's considered dangerous in the Resistance now. Luke and Leia won't be happy at all, as you'll see in this chapter. And Finn will get what's coming to him soon enough. ;) Thanks again for reviewing!

C.Z.B.- It's quite alright that you didn't review on chapter 23, I won't hold it against you. The first week of school is always a pain, so I know how you feel. But hey it's Friday and it's the beginning of the weekend! Yeah, Finn taking her was unexpected. But I felt that if I didn't write it like that the capture of Poe wouldn't really make much sense. Don't worry Kylo's gonna get her back, he won't stop until he does. I'm glad you liked the interaction with Rey and the stormtroopers, she's really gotten attached to them. We'll just have to see what the Resistance will do when she comes to, and Finn will be a nuisance to her. You'll get to see what happens to Poe literally now, so you won't have to worry about that. Thanks again for reviewing!

Emilie9263- I'm glad that you liked it! Thanks for the review!

SpeedForce 1229/BetterinTexas- Thanks so much for the review of every chapter so far. As I post this I think you stopped at chapter 17 and that was 13 hours ago. So thanks so much for all of that! I've read every single one of the reviews and I really appreciate it. I won't answer every single one because if I do than this will be long. I'm glad that you liked the way I was going with this and how I wrote the characters, so thank you. To answer you chapter 9 review I haven't read the Force Awakens novel yet, but I'm slowly trying to get my mom to take me to Barnes and Noble so I can buy it, it's literally the only place where I can find it. And that's interesting with what you said about Palpatine's voice, I wonder if it's going to be true. For your chapter 11 review, I'm glad that you enjoyed that I pointed that out about the Jedi. I'm happy to hear that you share common thoughts about the Star Wars universe with me. You wouldn't believe how hard is trying to talk to my friends and family members about it, and they aren't into it at all. (Well my mom, brother, dad, and like two of my friends are, but that's pretty much it.) Thanks so much again for all of the reviews! Like I said I couldn't answer every single one, this already starting to become quite long. But keep it up, and I'm sure I'll hear from you soon!

Alright, if you guys read through all of that let's get started.

Chapter 25

Kylo had been torturing Poe for a half hour and he was far from done. He'd electrocuted him, toyed with his mind, beat him up, and burned him. He didn't even bother to try and get the Resistance's location from him yet. He was still quite angry with what happened with Rey, and Poe was the perfect punching bag. His screams could be heard from outside of the cell and it only made him want to continue.

He backed away from him as he tried to catch his breath, he'd never done so much torture at one time before. Poe slowly stopped screaming and tried to regain his composure. When he felt he was able to talk he didn't waste any time to express himself. "What the hell was that?! You didn't even ask me anything yet! Are you insane?!"

"Well excuse me if I'm upset!"

"Over what?! You stopped Finn!" There was silence from Kylo as he turned his back to him. The pain still fresh in his mind. "You did stop him right?" Kylo clenched his fists as he answered.

"No, I didn't. I couldn't."

"Why? You would've beaten him so easily."

"Because if I attacked him he would've killed Rey." Tears were beginning to come down his face and he clenched his fists harder for showing weakness.

"What do you mean he would've killed her?"

"He had a blaster to her head."

"What?! He'd never do that."

"Well he did."

"What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"If you do I might give the information that you need without a fuss. Mostly because I don't want to experience anymore pain."

"If it'll get this over with then fine."

"Then tell me." Kylo took a deep breath and tried to collect himself. He still had tears coming down his face and he didn't want to turn around.

"I went aboard the ship. FN-2187 was knelt down to her, when I walked in I had my saber pointed at his neck. As he stood up I raised it to strike him down but he moved out of the way. If I hadn't deactivated it as I swung it down I would've killed Rey. She was still out and I examined her to see if she was harmed. There was a bruise forming on her head."

"Yeah, Finn knocked her out with the butt of his blaster."

"I see."

"Then what happened?"

"Rey woke up and didn't know what was happening. Somehow FN-2187 got her lightsaber and was going to kill me. Rey froze him before he could and was about to kill him. She unfroze him so that he could speak, but he pointed his blaster at her abdomen and fired." He stopped, the tears were really started to come down now. He wished that he hadn't left his helmet in his room.

"You can't be serious? Was she okay?"

"She was alive, but the sudden shock caused her to black out. Her clothes didn't allow the shot to be damaging, but there was blood coming out of the wound."

"What did you do?"

"I moved to strike him with my saber but he put the blaster to her head and was ready to pull the trigger. I force choked him to try to get him to let go, but as I did he didn't let go of the blaster. Instead he slowly put pressure on the trigger, I had no choice but to let go of him."

"And then he told you to leave or she dies."

"Yes. I could've ended him so quickly."

"But if you did, he would've already killed her." He nodded his head in agreement and tried not to lose it. "You really do care about her don't you?"

"Why do you care?!"

"Because I'm her friend and I want to make sure she's safe and happy."

"So? What does that have to do with me?"

"I can tell that you want the same for her. You could've killed Finn, but if you did you would've killed the one person you care about. Rey was right, there is another side to you, sure it's only with her, but you can't bear to lose her."

"I'd appreciate it if you'd shut up!"

"Fine. But I'm just stating the obvious." There was silence between them as Kylo wiped away the tears and any signs of weakness as he turned to Poe.

"Let's finish this, I have work to do. Where's the Resistance?"

"Oh, uh let me think about that for a second." Kylo wasted no time in activating his saber as he pointed it at his torso.

"I wonder what it must feel like to lose the lower half of your body?" Poe felt the blade inch closer and closer and he didn't want to know what losing his legs felt like.

"Alright alright I'll tell you! They're on Esteron! It's an unknown inhabited planet!"

"There, now was that so hard?" Poe looked at him in astonishment.

"You're kidding right?"

"Does it look like I am?"

"No, not at all. You're not going to kill me are you?"

"Not yet. I need you alive in case you're lying."

"Oh okay. But out of curiosity what would happen if I was lying?"

"Then I'd cut off every limb off your body. Before throwing you at the so called mercy of General Hux." Poe became very scared and was glad that he wasn't lying to him.

"Oh. Good. Can I be put in a cell now?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so. Enjoy the pain." Kylo left immediately and didn't give him a chance to say anything. He approached the bridge and saw Hux barking orders left and right. "General! What did the Supreme Leader have to say?"

"Well, he's happy that Rey did well. He wants us to eliminate the supporters, and he wants to know why you were only able to capture one of the intruders."

"What did you say?"

"I made an excuse that you and Rey split up and she lost her intruder before she could capture him."

"He doesn't know that she was taken does he?"

"No, but he's suspicious as to why she wasn't with you in the interrogation. He said that she needed to learn how to torture people herself."

"Oh, just try and keep the topic off of her."

"Right. Did you find where she is through the pilot?"

"Yes, the rest of the Resistance is on a planet called Esteron."

"I've never heard of it."

"Neither have I. But it apparently exists seeing as that's where they are."

"I see. We're given orders to eliminate the supporters tomorrow after we assess the damage done. After, we'll leave to get Rey."

"No need, I'll go after her myself."

"You can't."

"Excuse me?!"

"You don't know where Esteron is. We have to find it first." Kylo clenched his fists at the thought of delaying his departure.

"Fine, but make it fast. I can't wait long."

"Yes sir." Hux watched as Kylo left the bridge and he hoped that no one was around if he threw a fit.

Kylo went to his room and made sure that the door was locked. He sat on his bed and put his head in his hands. He let the tears flow once more as he silently cried. He lost her, she'd finally become his apprentice and now she was taken away from him.

Why couldn't anything good happen to him for once in his life? All he ever knew was pain and unhappiness. But when he was with her he actually felt happy, something that he never knew he could feel. He never knew that his heart could hurt so bad, this must've been how his mother felt when he killed Han.

He didn't want to believe it after never experiencing it before in his life, or having it be given to him. But he couldn't deny it any longer. He didn't just have compassion for Rey, no. He loved her with whatever was left of his heart.

He loved her hair, her attitude, her sense of humor, her dedication, her undying kindness towards everyone around her. He loved everything about her and now that she was gone he only just realized it.

He stood up and walked into the refresher. He went over to the sink and splashed water on his face to erase the tear tracks. As he looked into the mirror he saw that his eyes were red and that his hair was slightly messed up. But he didn't care, all he saw was the scar.

He traced it down his face and smirked. She always did have a way of leaving something behind for him to remember her by. First it was the scar, now it was heartache.

As BB-8 piloted the ship back to Esteron Finn took care of Rey's wound. He hadn't meant to shoot her, it just sort of happened. Now he was regretting almost everything that he did to harm her.

But he didn't care about it as much as he should. He'd gotten her away from that monster, she'll learn to forgive him and see that he made the right choice. Suddenly the ship left lightspeed and they were heading towards the planet. As BB-8 landed the ship Finn saw that Leia came out with Luke behind her and she didn't look happy at all.

Finn carried Rey out of the ship and walked towards them. "Um hi General, Luke." Leia didn't waste any time in expressing her anger.

"Finn you nerf-herder! You directly disobeyed an order! And what's worse is that you brought Poe in on it! And why is it that I don't see him?!"

"I've never been called a nerf-herder before." Leia gave him a death stare and Finn knew better than to joke at that moment. "Right Poe. He's still on the Finalizer, he didn't want to be involved anymore. He said he'd find his own way back. I'm sure he's fine, besides everything turned out okay. I've got Rey back."

"Everything's not okay Finn! Poe's probably been captured and they're probably using him to get information about us! That's not okay! And what makes you think that bringing Rey back will change that?!"

"Because she was taken captive by them! I thought that you would want her back. Come on Luke back me up on this." Luke gave Finn a very cold look as he spoke to him.

"You have a lot of nerve thinking that I'm okay with this Finn."

"But I thought you would be. I got your padawan back."

"I specifically told you not to interfere. Having Rey go with Kylo is the will of the force, it's her destiny. And you just untangled the force's wishes."

"Oh come on you can't be serious. The force can't do that."

"You don't know a thing about it. I wouldn't expect you to understand. But now there will be consequences for you interfering."

"Whatever. Where's the med bay here General?" Leia had a confused look on her face.

"Why do you need to know Finn? Does this have something to do with Rey being unconscious?"

"Yes. She was shot in her abdomen and blacked out."

"Who shot her?"

"Uh, it was uh, a rouge stormtrooper from the squad she was with." Leia turned to her brother and they both had an unconvinced look on their faces.

"I see. It's over there." She pointed to the direction that the med bay was in. "Inform me when she wakes up."

"Yes sir." Finn left and the twins watched him carry Rey away.

"Luke did you read his mind like I asked you to earlier?"

"Yes. He was lying. He was the one who shot Rey. He knocked her unconscious when she refused to leave. Kylo tried to take her back but she woke up, that's when Finn shot her and she blacked out again."

"Why didn't Kylo try to kill him?"

"He did. But Finn pointed the blaster at Rey's head and threatened to kill her if he did."

"So Kylo backed off to save her. She really does bring something else out in him."

"Yes, but now Finn has taken her away from him. He'll only be enraged more than what he normally is. He'll come for her."

"What do we do? They have Poe and most likely know where we are now."

"We have to let him come. He'll come alone, but we need to let her go with him. It's the only way to restore the force's will."

"I understand. Let's hope he does come alone." The twins went back inside and tried to process this sudden turn of events.

The next day Kylo tried to enjoy the destruction of the Resistance supporters, but as he saw the planet explode he couldn't bring even a smirk to his face. When the spectacle was over he retreated back to his room.

He'd only come out for his duties and to watch the firing of the weapon. Otherwise he'd been in his room all day trying to find Esteron in the Order's database. He searched for hours but couldn't find it, he could only hope that she was alright.

He decided that he needed to stretch his legs and he uselessly roamed the hallways. He didn't even register where he was going until his feet stopped and he looked to see where he was.

He was standing in front of Rey's room, the guards had been pulled and his heart sank at the sight. Before he could even register what he was doing he entered her room and let the doors close behind him.

He didn't move as he stared at his surroundings. It was exactly as she had left it. The bed was unmade, the holonet remote was on her bed, and the clothes she hadn't been sent to get washed were on the floor in her closet.

He walked around and came to a stop at her closet. He picked up her discarded scavenger clothing. It appeared to have never been washed although he ordered a droid to clean her discarded clothes every afternoon when she didn't order it herself.

It still had her scent on it and he smiled. He remembered the first time she ever came so close to him that he could smell her. It was during the interrogation, she smelt like sand and of cheap soap. But there was something else that he couldn't place. It was just unique to her and he'd be able to recognize it anywhere.

He put the clothing back where he found it on the floor and went up to her window. He could see the galaxy so clearly from here, it was almost peaceful just looking at it.

He sighed as he began to leave the room. Just being around her things made his heart ache for her and quickly went out into the hall. As he walked back into the room he was approached by Commander Austin. "What is it Commander? I'm not really in the mood for anything."

"Sir, one of the men thinks that they know where Rey is."

"What? This better not be a trick."

"It's not I assure you."

"Well what did he say?"

"He's one of the pilots and he was doing a search around the ship after the battle. He saw the ship leave and was able to track its flight trajectory."

"How?"

"I don't know sir. But he did. Unfortunately he couldn't track them all the way back to their base. But he did get the approximate coordinates of the system."

"What do you mean by approximate?"

"Well, he was able to trace it to 20 known and unknown systems in the area. But we don't know which planet she's on."

"Well it's a start. Try and get the data from the fighter and I'll inform General Hux."

"Yes sir." Kylo wasted no time in getting to the bridge. He didn't care if anybody stared at him, he couldn't waste any more time.

This was the best thing that they had to a lead and he wasn't about to let it slip away. He couldn't go another day without Rey, he'd tried contacting her but there was no answer. She was probably still knocked out.

As he made his way to the bridge he hoped that the lead would work. For once he needed something to go his way.

AN: I hope that you guys liked it. It's a little short, but the next chapter is one of my longer ones so it will hopefully make up for it.

Feel free to review and let me know what you guys think.

Until the next chapter, see ya!
