Alessia's smile fell and was replaced with a look of slight disappointment. Kaius examined her, watching her demeanor change, then turned towards Kylo.
"So what does she have to do, exactly?" Kaius asked, there was a bit of concern in his husky voice.
"Alessia will begin her search for Luke Skywalker and relay information she finds on the Resistance's future endeavors so we can end them quickly. She has been training for this since the beginning of your
time here." Kylo said plainly.
Kaius nodded.
The Commander then stuck out his right arm to Alessia, and directed her to the exit.
"I'll see to it that one of the escorts outside the door take you back to your cell. After her tasks are complete, you can come back if she wishes."
Alessia's eyes sparkled and a smile stretched across her face. Seeing her this happy set off sparks in him and filled him with warmth. He already knew she would take every chance she could to visit with her only living family member; the two were nearly inseparable when together. Another thing Kylo hadn't experienced before. His father, Han was always gone and his mother, Leia was always busy with her high role as Senator.
The two then exited the room as a Storm Trooper entered, collecting Kaius. Their shoes clicked against the shiny, clean floor with every step, letting the noise echo throughout the empty halls. Alessia started feeling anxious as they came upon the door to the testing site, which Kylo automatically felt through the Force.
With a small look over his shoulder, he gently pushed her back to the wall.
"Why are you nervous? You're shaking." Kylo whispered.
She bit her lip as her cheeks filled with color. "Tell me." He demanded.
"I'm just... What if I mess up? Is he going to have me killed?" Alessia stressed.
He shook his head. "You'll be fine. You are more powerful than you think, Essi." Kylo watched her eyes prick with tears, kissing her forehead before straightening back up to enter the room in front of them.
The tall door slid open, revealing a dim, spacious area with Hux patiently-not really- waiting in the middle.
"I see you two really arrived. Late." Hux said in his normal, sassy attitude.
Kylo clenched his fists, holding back from blowing up on the ginger man who irritated him so much. He guided Alessia to the cold metal chair as she took a seat facing Snoke. Her legs bounced up and down anxiously.
'Stop worrying, you'll do great. I'll be in the observation room watching the entire time. ' Kylo spoke into her mind.
She watched from the corner of her eye as he walked through another door and into a room with wide windows pearing into hers. Snoke quickly drew her attention away from her lover. Lover.
"Its time for you to display what you have been training for. I want you to search for the Scavenger." His voice boomed, her eyes widened.
Alessia looked once more to her right to see Kylo, then straightened back up and began her meditation. Her body relaxed and her mind concentrated on the brunette girl from Jakku. Within seconds, her concentration was broken. Fear flashed across her face as she tried not looking up to Snoke.
"Well?" He questioned.
Alessia squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Supreme Leader. I must have been too nervous.." she trailed off.
Snoke let out a deep sigh and gripped the arms on his seat.
"You're...nervous?" He asked. He raised his old, boney finger towards one of the troopers behind Alessia. The two quickly walked up to her. One held her back as the other lifted his blaster and slammed the butt of it into her face.
Alessia jolted in pain and shock of what happened as her nose began dripping with blood. Behind the glass window, Kylo filled with rage. He drew his saber and entered into the main room.
"Do NOT hit her again or I will end your life." Hatred filled his tone as he spit out other explicit comments to the storm troopers, ready to attack.
Snoke Force pushed him against the wall. Kylo's body then fell limp onto the floor.
"Do you have feelings for this girl, Ren? Should I destroy her? Or do you want to try again?" Snoke looked between the two young people, tired of the games. Alessia's left eye was beginning to swell shut and blood continued to make it's way to the surface of her wounds.
Snoke let out a hearty laugh then coughed. "Ah I know... maybe this will motivate you."
The main door then slid open as her brother was thrown in. His shaggy hair covering his face.
Her heart picked up its pace and dread filled her mind, terrified of what could potentially happen.
"No...no...please stop. I'll try again, please..." Alessia begged,
Kaius was forced to his knees as one of the troopers yanked his head back so he could see his younger sister. As she watched him wince in pain she also saw the scrapes, cuts and sweat that covered his face, proving they had already started torturing him.
More tears flooded down her face, seeing her brother in pain hurt her deeply.
Alessia blinked the tears away the best she could before squeezing them shut and trying to focus on the task, unsure of what would happen if she failed again. Kylo slowly lifted himself up, shifting his weight to one knee and brushed his hair back before noticing Kaius. Anger flashed across his face again and he looked to the young woman.
"There's snow-snowy planet...um...shes..." Alessia managed to get out. The response infuriated Snoke. All this training and she couldn't relay information clearly.
"I've had enough." Alessia looked up to him as he glanced to the trooper holding her brother in place. She watched as he unholistered his blaster and shoved it to the side of his skull. Everything was moving in slow motion.
A blast rang out as her brother's body lay limp. No movement.
