AN: I absolutely hated this chapter so I changed the ending, I think this is better!

Rey was confused seeing this blonde-haired woman sitting so casually on her bed. Whoever this was Rey did not know her. A metal click stopped her from turning around to get her roommates. Her gaze dropped from the woman's face to notice she was holding a gun. It's not like Rey had never seen a gun before but never was one pointed at her. She could remember as a child one being pointed at her father but never her.

"I'm Phasma." She gave a toothy grin and hopped off the bed approaching Rey till the gun pressed into her side. Rey could only stare dead ahead panic taking over her lungs.

"W-who are you, what do you want?" her voice was trembling.

"Oh, that's right! You have no idea who I am." She leaned in close. "I'm the one who leaked the picture."

The realization hit Rey like a train. This was Kylo's old assistant. The one who had followed them and taken those pictures. She opened her mouth to scream but the woman punched her sending her to the ground.

"Make a sound and I will fucking shoot you." she snarled. "I have nothing else to lose, Rey. You took everything away from me."

She nodded and remained silent clutching her face. How much she wished Kylo was here. Phasma grabbed her by the collar and dragged her up, shoving the gun in her check. "We are going to walk out of here calmly and you are going to get in my car without making a sound. Understood?"

Again, Rey nodded as she was turned around and the woman wrapped her arm around her making it look like they were close. But in reality, a cold metal gun was pressed into her ribs. As they walked out of the apartment a tear slid down reys check. All her roommates were out of the public area so there was no one to help her. The walk to the car was borderline painful. No doubt the barrel would leave a bruise and her eyes stung from trying to hold back tears. Once she was in the car Rey looked at phasma with pleading eyes.

"Please don't do this-" suddenly a cloth was placed over her mouth and the world went dark.

Slowly Rey started to wake. Her head was pounding, and her body was aching from laying on a cold concrete floor all night. She tried to stretch but found she couldn't because the ties on her hands with a rope connecting them to her ankles. Soon through the haze she could taste the duct tape over her mouth. Despite the tape a muffled help left her throat. Finally, the world around her came into focus. The woman who abducted her, Phasma, was sitting in a chair several feet away just staring. Rey groaned and pressed her shoulder into the floor, trying to sit up. but to no avail she remained on her side, cold, uncomfortable and in pain. Her eyes followed Phasma as she got up and started passing.

"Do you think you are special to him? He gave me a key to his place and a black card too. You aren't the only lost creature he has taken under his wing. I was just an intern for school not getting paid. Until he decided to hire me permanently." She crouched down in front of Rey. "You think he's got a thing for young college girls? Maybe for you but apparently not for me! I worked for him for years! I met his mother for fucks sake. Yet he never even looked at me the way he looks at you. Why is that Rey?" she scoffed and stood back up continuing her pacing. "At least I put out for him. But then that night, I saw the way he looked at you. I watched him follow you to his bedroom. You know I'm the one that he sent to pick out the dress for you."

Reys heart thundered in her chest as she listened to Phasma's speech. From the beginning his assistant was out to destroy Rey. She wasn't sure anymore if she was going to survive this.

"Then that thing happened blah blah and I suggested we use you to cover up the media! But oh no not precious Rey. He wouldn't have it, but I know what's best for him." A cynical laugh left her lips as she lazily pointed the weapon at Rey. "I know what's best for him, but he fired me over those silly pictures. And then I lost everything. My job, Kylo and now no one will hire me and I'm out of time, money and patience."

Rey could only sit there and cry silently, her whole body trembled.

"I want your precious boyfriend to give me one million dollars. I know he's worth much more then that but one million is easier to sneak out of the country."

Rage was settling into her bones now. She was a pawn and who knows if she would even survive. Not only that, but now she was going to cost him even more money and drama. Its like the universe didn't want them to work out. She squeezed her eyes shut and willed herself to believe it did, that he would come save her and they would live happily ever after. This psychotic bitch was not going to take away this life she had just started.

I love you.

Rey focused on that memory only a handful of days ago. His voice, his smile, his lips.

I love you.

She started to sob realizing she might never get the chance to say those 3 little words back to him. Regret filled her soul for not saying it sooner. All the times she could have but she didn't. The crying made breathing difficult with all the tape; Rey started to panic more which only made matters worse. She passed out again from lack of oxygen but remained breathing. Phasma watched her cry and blackout, a smirk on her face

"I have to find her."

As if on que his phone chimed, and he immediately grabbed it hoping it was Rey. It was from her, but it wasn't her.

Bring 1 million to the old range

He knew instantly who this was. It was his old assistant Phasma. It was a dead giveaway because not many people knew about the old range that he personally owned, besides Hux but he's dead. He hadn't used it in years, but it was still in his name and his assistant still probably had a key for it. It was all the way in new jersey, hours away.

"I have to go." He pocketed the phone and then reached under the kitchen island pulling out a Glock.

"I'm coming with you, she's my best friend!" Finn protested realizing the severity of the situation as he watched this man pull a gun out of thin air.

"Yea? And what the fuck do you plan on doing?" Kylo pushed past him and shoved a piece of art off the wall revealing a safe.

"Not shooting anybody that's for sure."

"Well I am." Kylo's hands were shaking as he grabbed the money he kept in there and shoved it into a duffle bag.

"Jesus Christ how many people have you killed?!" Finn wasn't sure if he should be more scared of Kylo right now or whoever took Rey.

Kylo stood up and slipped bag over his shoulder. His eyes were dark with anger. "More people then you'll ever know." With that comment hanging like dead weight in the air, he went to the elevator and didn't protest when finn joined him. If he wanted to come, fine. In the parking garage finn followed Kylo to a deep red lifted pickup.

"Are all these cars yours?" he asked jumping in the truck. Kylo only grunted in response focusing on getting to Rey.

A few hours later they pulled up to the abandoned run-down range. He bought it many years ago for his personal use to brush off steam. Occasionally he had off the book's meetings there which is why his assistant knew about it. He saw the silver sedan and confirmed it was Phasma who would be waiting inside for him. Kylo jumped out of the truck and handed finn an army knife. He was going to treat this like any other mission in the field. That's how he was going to get through this.

"Wait here." he instructed Finn. Thankfully he didn't put up a protest, the last thing he needed was a distraction from getting Rey. Kylo approached the building, gun in one hand, bag in the other. He stormed in, the door slamming against the wall a loud echo filling the empty building. They must be in the back. His footsteps filled the air as he walked to the back with an urgent purpose. He flicked the safety off on his gun before turning in the doorway, pointing it instantly at his enemy. He was ready to shoot but the sight froze the blood in his veins. Rey was on the floor, tied up, tape over her mouth, clothes dirty and wrists covered in bleeding blisters. And Phasma was standing over her with a gun pointed at her head and a shit eating grin on her face.

"So good to see you!" her bubbly voice agitated him to no end.

Reys eyes were pleading with him and she struggled against the rope. This was never supposed to happen to her, he was supposed to protect her. He failed for the last time.

"I have the money. Now untie her." His voice boomed through the cement walls.

Normally Rey didn't like when he yelled but his voice was comforting right now. The fact he was here, once again he was rescuing her. The last few days being trapped here, absolute hell but it would all be over soon. Her eyes flickered from Kylo to Phasma to see if she would do as he asked. To her surprise Phasma rolled her eyes and put her gun at her and kneeled down tugging at the knots. As soon as her hands and feet were free, she ripped the tape off. She jumped to her feet wobbly, she tried to take a step to Kylo, his name leaving her lips, but the woman grabbed her by her hair, pulling her to her side. "Kylo!"

His jaw clenched hearing her cry his name in fear and desperation. He wanted to kill this bitch right now. And he could, Phasma was a good shot but he was better. he thought better of it though because how would Rey feel If he killed someone right in front of her, if she became soaked in blood.

"The money?" she snarled yanking Rey harder.

Kylo tossed it on the ground at her feet without hesitation, the gun still firmly aimed at her head.

"Let her go. You got what you wanted."

Phasma nudged the bag with her foot and nodded before shoving Rey in the direction of Kylo. She almost stumbled to the ground but Kylo quickly sheathed his gun before jumping forward catching her. Instantly his shoulders relaxed as he held her tight in his arms. His hand pressed against the back of her head to keep her face in his chest, as if to hide her away from all this.

"Rey-" she lifted her head to look at him and in that moment a gunshot sounded through Reys ears. The sound forever engrained in her mind. Her eyes were still locked on Kylo Ren, what was only seconds felt like minutes. She didn't know what happened until Kylo stumbled back and she felt the blood on her check. He was shot she couldn't tell where because his black clothes masked everything.

It felt as if the world stopped, the only sound in her ear was a dull ringing and her own labored breaths. Without thinking she grabbed the gun from Kylo's waist as he fell back against a wall. She spun around and pointed it right at Phasma. She had never fired or held a gun before but there was always a first for everything.

A cynical laugh filled the room and echoed inside Reys mind.

"You won't shoot me! You can't anyway the safety is back on."

Click. "Fuck. You." she pulled the trigger and watched as her face turn from arrogance to complete surprise and horror. She lifted a hand to her stomach, and it came back bloody. Rey kept the gun on her, good thing she did because Phasma raised hers and Rey put a fatal shot in her head.

Kylo watched this unfold from his slumped over form against the wall. He was shot in the upper chest; he knew he would be fine as long as he got to a hospital in the next 30 minutes before he drowned in his own blood. This was a fucked-up situation, nothing was good about this. But seeing her stand in front of him, protect him, he loved her even more. He learned early on she could fend for herself but this… this took him completely by surprise. He also knew Rey was going to be a wreck after this, she had just killed someone, but she needed to. It was them or her and Rey made a choice. The realization must have hit her because the gun slipped from her hands clamoring to the floor. He watched her slowly turn around to look at him, her blood shot eyes blown wide.

"What did I do?" her voice was hoarse.

In that moment finn burst through the door. "Rey! I heard the shots!" he ran to her collecting her in his arms. Kylo felt a pang of jealousy. Finn looked around the room, his eyes lingering on the dead woman before looking from Rey to Kylo and noticed him clutching his chest, blood staining his pale skin. "Fuck we have to go. Now!"

Instantly they were at his side helping him up and out of the building to the truck. Rey sat in the back with Kylo as finn sped them to the nearest hospital. She was curled up at his side, holding him tight. He kept asking her if she was okay, stroking her check, but she remained silent. This was another trauma added to her life and Kylo blamed himself. He ached to tell her he loved her, he ached to hear her say it. But there was only silence filling the void in his chest.

Once at the hospital it was confirmed he needed surgery and Rey was treated for the blisters on her wrists. Kylo instructed finn to take Rey back but not to her place because he was having a team do forensics on her room. He would have this whole mess cleaned up. Or as Rey put it, throw money at a problem till it went away. She was too weak and tired to fight with Kylo about making her leave his side. She swore, after being tied up for days she would never leave him again. But she needed to listen to him right now because he was handling this. With a final kiss to his forehead she left and finn drove her to his apartment. Finn tried to talk to her but she was silent the whole ride.

In fact, she was silent the entire next week. She didn't utter a single word. It felt like the tape was still there. She slept in Finns bed while he slept on the couch. That's all she did was sleep. She only took a shower or ate when Finn told her to. He was worried she would never be the same and be stuck like this forever. His best friend was gone and all the remained was shell of a person. He took the liberty of filling out incomplete forms for all her classes that semester because it was too late for her to recover what she had missed. He was trying his best, he honestly thought of taking her to the hospital for a psych eval, but he didn't know what to do. he didn't know what Kylo's plan was or if the police knew what happened. He hadn't heard or seen him since they went and got her. Flowers came every day from him though for Rey. She would smell them and read the card. He didn't know what they said but whatever was on them was the only thing that brought the slightest sparkle to her eye.

Finn had spent hours trying to tell her what happened was necessary and that things were going to get better. He told her it wasn't her fault, that it was okay. He wasn't sure if she was listening because all she did was blink and stare. After the first week passed and she continued to be the same, stuck in this state of mind, he couldn't take it anymore seeing her like this. He didn't know what to do. So he picked up Reys phone and called Kylo.
