AN: Hey guys, hope all of you are doing good. Sorry if this chapter seems a bit short, because I've only had time to write at night recently I've been forced to use my ipod which is the only device I have that's not on the wi-fi restriction. And it's so difficult I don't think I can even describe it. Besides, my ipod doesn't really have a word count or page count, oh well.

SaintsFan1- I'm glad you liked their conversation, the force bond definitely helps to bring them closer in situations like these. Finn definitely messed up big time, we can only hope that he learned his lesson. He got lucky enough that Rey got startled, otherwise he'd be dead. Luke's definitely the calmer one out of everyone, and I agree with the whole making him awesome thing. The interrogation will happen in the next chapter, and I don't even know how it's gonna go yet. Yeah I guess Kylo and Hux are working pretty well together, for the time being anyway. I bet once they get Rey back they'll go back to their normal selves. And they'll try to get Rey as soon as possible, I don't know what chapter yet, but it'll be relatively soon. Thanks again for the review!

C.Z.B.- Yeah, Rey didn't really need to be strapped down considering that moving caused her pain, but it's what Leia wanted. And there's no sense in arguing with her. Don't worry Rey will get some food in this chapter, she won't be starving just because she's part of the Order now. Haha, the same happens to me whenever I see food on tv. Yes Finn deserved it, he's lucky to even still be alive at this point. He won't get her in this chapter, but I don't think it'll be long before he does. Like I said above I haven't figured that out yet, but you'll be able to tell when it happens during the chapters I post. Thanks again for the review!

SpeedForce 1229- Again, I won't answer every single one, but I did read them so I'll pick out like one or two to respond to. For the review of chapter 19, although I haven't seen the Matrix I am familiar with it, and I'm glad that that moment made you think of that. For chapter 20, I agree with your thoughts on the Empire, Palpatine was a good manipulator, but wasn't as bright with the whole Death Star thing. I don't think Snoke will make the same mistake, I doubt that they have another Starkiller being built after what happened to the first one. For chapter 22, I'm glad that you liked how I made her go the dark instead of him going to the light. I wanted this story to be different than others I've read, so I'm glad you like it. To answer you question on chapters 25 ND 26 there's about maybe 30-40 people left in the Resistance. The majority is just whatever's left of the ground troops, along with the very few pilots (I think I said there was about 4 left), and the surviving officers. Basically the point is that there's too few of them to actually do anything. I don't know the exact number but that should give you an idea. Yay, you're all caught up! Thanks again for the reviews!

Let's get this chapter started, shall we?

Chapter 27

The next morning Kylo tried to find the guards that were stationed in front of Rey's room. He checked the barracks and couldn't find them, so he decided to try to look for them in the cafeteria.

As he walked through the halls he tried to think about what to say to them. He made a point to not interact with the troops as much. He didn't want to sound too commanding but he didn't really know how else to talk to them.

He entered the room and tried to find the two troopers. It became harder than he thought as most of them had their helmets off. He began to feel eyes on him, and he was glad that he'd remembered his helmet. He approached the first table of troopers and they had nervous looks on their faces. "Where can I find BT-5398 and LR-1542?"

The trooper that was closest to him was the one to answer. "They're at the table over there." He pointed to where they were sitting and sure enough the two troopers were there. "Is there something that we need to know sir?"

"Are you close to my apprentice?"

"Not really."

"Then you have nothing to concern yourself with."

"Yes sir." Kylo walked away and approached LR and BT. They heard footsteps coming towards them and looked up.

"I need you two to do something for me." It was BT who answered.

"Of course sir. What is it that you need us to do?"

"I want you to gather up all of the stormtroopers and officers that are close to my apprentice and bring them to the bridge as soon as possible." LR looked at BT before answering.

"Yes sir. May I be so bold as to ask why?"

"You'll find out eventually. And inform her squad as well."

"Yes sir." Kylo walked out of the cafeteria and went to the bridge. He hoped that this plan would work. It was the only thing that they had to find Rey. He hoped that Hux had been able to strike a deal with the bounty hunters.

As he arrived at the bridge Hux was looking at the list of the systems where Rey could be. "Did you select nine bounty hunters General?"

"Yes but they've asked for more credits than we're currently paying them. They aren't too thrilled about being a transport system."

"It's not a problem is it?"

"Of course not."

"Good."

"We're you able to assemble Rey's friends?"

"I assigned that task to her guards."

"Will they do it?"

"Yes, they were very cooperative." As if on cue a large group of stormtroopers and officers entered the room. Commander Austin approached them.

"Why did you summon us all here sir?" Kylo turned to face him.

"I assume that most of you have heard by now that Rey was taken by the traitor FN-2187." The group nodded their heads in understanding. Austin spoke again.

"Are we going to retrieve her?"

"Yes. How many officers are here?"

"Six sir."

"I see. We'll have to order about two squad leaders to join them Hux." The red haired general nodded in understanding and made a note to tell that to Phasma.

"Sir?"

"I'm having these six officers, you, and two other squad leaders lead their own escort of troopers to each of these nine planets." He showed them all the list of planets.

"What shall we do?"

"You will ask the natives what systems are nearby that are uncharted. Rey is on one of those planets that's referred to as Esteron. You will be in civilian clothes so as not to draw attention. You will report back whatever information you acquire before moving on to any uncharted systems. Is this understood?

"Yes sir. Is there anything else?"

"Each team will be on board a bounty hunter's ship so you won't be recognized. There will be one officer or squad leader per group along with two or three troopers that are close to Rey. If you want to increase the number you inform me or General Hux. If we run out of people we will use your squad members. Is this clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good, are you capable of forming groups yourselves or do we have to do it?"

"I think that we can handle it sir. Will there be anything else?"

"No. Report back here later when you've formed your groups and we will assign you your ship. You may leave."

"Yes sir." The group left and Hux summoned Phasma to the bridge. The two didn't say a word as they studied the systems. Soon enough the metallic footsteps of Captain Phasma could be heard.

"You wished to speak with me General?" Hux turned to face her.

"Yes. I want you to find two squad leaders who have no duties over the next few days."

"May I ask why?"

"We're finding the rest of the Resistance and Ren's apprentice. We need two more commanding officers for the search groups. Have them report to Commander AU-6793 for the information."

"Right away sir." Phasma went to carry out her orders and Hux turned to Kylo.

"Do you think that they'll come through sir?"

"They have to. We can't waste any time. Snoke will eventually find out what's going on, and he won't be happy when he does."

"I agree." Kylo nodded his head when he suddenly felt a surge of nervousness run through him.

Rey. Something was wrong. He tried to peer into her mind, but he couldn't understand what was going on. He tried to contact her. "Rey what's going on?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"There's people that I don't recognize who don't look too pleasant to see me."

"What are they doing?" He was starting to become concerned. The Resistance wouldn't interrogate her while she needed time to heal. His mother wouldn't allow it.

"They're coming closer and are starting to punch their fists."

"Rey are they Resistance?"

"I don't think so."

"They're probably natives. I think that they want to harm you in some way."

"Crap. I can't fight back, I'm cuffed down."

"Threaten them with the force Rey." There was no answer. "Rey?" Still nothing. "Rey!"

He slammed his fist on the table and it startled Hux. "Sir is everything alright?"

"The natives are going to harm Rey and she can't defend herself."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. She didn't answer me when I told her to threaten them."

"I see. It appears that the natives aren't supporters of the Order."

"Indeed. Let's hope that they won't do anything too damaging."

"Or worse."

"I don't want to think about that. I'm sure she'll be fine. Let's get back to work." As they worked he tried to contact Rey or feel her emotions and thoughts.

He got nothing and he hoped that she was alright.

As Rey woke up the next morning she was surprised to see one of her hands uncuffed from her bed. "What's going on?" She tried to release her other hand but it was useless without a key.

As she looked around her there was a tray of food on the small nightstand. "How did this get here?"

"I put it there." She jumped as she got startled. She turned to the voice and saw Leia in the doorway. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you."

"It's fine. Why is my hand uncuffed?"

"Well would you want someone to feed you your food?"

"No." Leia put the tray on her lap. It wasn't much, just some fruit and scrambled eggs. Rey immediately dug in, she didn't realize how hungry she was until now.

She paused to talk to the woman in front of her. "Why are you being so kind to me?"

"You may be aligned to the Order now but I still see you like a daughter. Besides there are very few around here that will show kindness to you."

"Thank you. I assume that I'm to be interrogated some time today."

"Not yet. I want you to regain your strength just in case things go out of hand."

"I see." There was silence as she finished her food. She felt that Leia wanted to ask her something but was afraid to. "Leia is there something that you want to ask me?"

"Oh um. I didn't realize you could sense that so easily."

"Well I had a lot of practice recently."

"I see." She sighed and her shoulders began to slump.

"Leia?"

"How is he?"

"You mean Kylo?" She watched as the General nodded her head. "He's fine."

"What do you mean by fine?"

"Well he's still as angry as ever, I imagine he's more enraged because of what Finn did. He's got a scar on his face from our fight. He's also doing quite well with the whole leading the First Order thing."

"How is he with you?"

"Well he's gentler, understanding, funny, encouraging, sweet, and protective. But I don't think he'll come back to the light. He was hurt too much by you and Han."

"I understand." She paused to look Rey over. "You really care about him don't you?" Rey looked down at her sheets. She could feel heat begin to rise to her cheeks.

"Pretty much yeah. I don't know what I'll do without him. Sure he's my master, but he's also my friend."

"Is that all?" Rey began to smile as she thought about what they had.

"There's something else. We have this thing going on between us."

"Can you describe it?"

"Well we become playful, sarcastic, and there's like a spark. It's hard to describe. My heart skips a beat whenever we touch if that helps."

"How long have you felt this way?"

"I guess after he saved me from Hux beating me. And I guess after we kissed as well." She immediately regretted that last part. "Shit I shouldn't have said that."

"It's alright Rey. I won't tell anyone. But it seems like you love him."

"Are you sure? I've never known what love felt like."

"Trust me, from the way you described it you definitely are in love."

"Oh." She began to feel more heat rise to her cheeks. She never would've realized that on her own. But she couldn't find any other way to describe it.

She loved Kylo. She loved everything about him. She liked the way that it sounded. As she left her thoughts she looked at Leia. "Thank you for helping me realize that."

"You're quite welcome." She got up and took the empty tray off her lap. She re-cuffed her to the bed and walked to the door. "I'll leave you to rest."

"Leia there wouldn't happen to be a remote for the holonet would there?"

"I'll ask for you. I'll be back with your dinner soon." Rey watched Leia leave and just sat in her bed.

Medics came and went to check on her, but there were really no other visitors. She was beginning to get bored but she kept herself occupied while reading Kylo's thoughts.

Suddenly the door opened and two men that she didn't recognize entered the room. "Who are you?" The man on the right answered her.

"Let's just say that we aren't supporters of the Order." They began to laugh and she began to get nervous. She tried to get out of her cuffs but she knew it was a lost cause.

Suddenly she felt Kylo's presence inside of her. She didn't close her eyes so that she could keep an eye on the men. As she talked to Kylo he was getting worried about the situation. She listened to what he had to say considering her situation, but she was beginning to become worried herself.

As he left she decided to take his advice about threatening them. The men began to come closer to her and she erased all traces of fear from her face and embraced her anger.

A smirk began to spread on her face. "You guys might want to reconsider this. I'm a very powerful force user. I'd hate for you boys to get hurt." The man on the left laughed at her.

"Oh please. We don't buy that bullshit one bit. How can you be powerful? I mean look at you."

"Oh you'd be surprised." The men began to come closer and were able to each land two blows to her face.

"See, you're weak."

"You'll regret that." She took control of the force and pushed it out at them. She didn't need to extend her hands, she was reacting similar to when she almost wrecked the bridge while collapsing to the floor after the Resistance was destroyed.

The men went flying into the wall and had very scared looks on their faces. She had an evil smile begin to spread onto her face. "I told you." She decided to have a little fun with them.

"You will fight each other." As if on cue the two men began to fight each other aggressively. She started laughing hysterically. Her scar was beginning to hurt but she didn't care. "Now this is quality entertainment!"

She realized that she should probably get them to uncuff her. But there was no point to it. Her abdomen still hurt and she wouldn't get very far.

After a couple of minutes she felt Kylo again. "Rey is everything alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm actually enjoying this."

"What are you up to?"

"Well I let those guys punch me a few times. Then I pushed them up against the wall and made them start fighting each other."

"You're kidding."

"I'm not I swear. It's hilarious!"

"Who's winning?"

"It looks like a draw."

"I can't believe you did that." She could feel how proud he was of her and she couldn't help but smile.

"What? I was bored."

"Of course you were." She could hear him begin to laugh and she couldn't help but laugh as well. Suddenly the door opened and Leia wasn't pleased at what she was seeing.

"Uh oh busted by the General."

"Try not to get in so much trouble alright? I want to have you alive when I rescue you."

"I can't make any promises. And I'm not some damsel in distress."

"I know that all too well. I'll leave you to deal with the General."

"Alright. I'll talk to you later." She left his mind and faced Leia.

"Rey let them go."

"Uggh. Fine." She had the men fall asleep and watched as they collapsed on the floor.

"That's not what I meant."

"Should've said so." Leia uncuffed her and set the tray in front of her. Rey began to consume the food, she was still quite hungry. The food wasn't as good as the Order's but she'd manage.

"Rey you're not going to do this all the time are you?"

"No, but I was bored. And besides they were going to beat me up."

"Fine just don't make it a habit." Rey finished her food, she was a little disappointed that she didn't get any dessert. But she should've expected that from the Resistance.

Leia cuffed her and put a remote on her bed. "That's for the holonet. Try to get some rest Rey, you're going to be interrogated tomorrow." She watched her leave and she began to yawn.

"Huh, doing nothing takes a lot out of you." She leaned back onto her bed and let sleep consume her.

AN: Hope you guys enjoyed it. Again sorry for it being short.

Tennis tryouts start tomorrow and go all throughout the week. I'm not looking forward to it, all we do is run, we barely even play. (I know that tennis involves a lot of running, but I'm a doubles player and I have a partner, so I really don't need to run as much.) You guys probably aren't really interested, but I'll be gone all morning and I'll try to update when I get back. If I don't collapse from exhaustion first that is. Oh well, wish me luck, It's going to be a long week.

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

Until the next chapter, may the force be with you. (I know I'll need it.)
