Chapter 12
Lilith seethed with rage as she stormed through the hallway and to General Hux's personal chambers. She once again didn't bother knocking and stormed in right as he was getting dressed.
Lilith saw him roll his eyes in the mirror in front of him as he buttoned up his jacket.
"Lilith, I don't want to hear-"
"She's on the ship! The little bitch is here!"
Hux shrugged. "And why is that of consequence to me?"
Lilith raised a brow. "I thought you hated her to?"
"I do. But now she's actually being useful."
Lilith leaned against the door and folded her arms together.
"How the hell is she useful?"
He smirked and adjusted his collar. "She's distracting him. Before, it was a hindrance to the First Order. But now she is keeping him occupied while I continue with my plans."
He turned and gave her a smug smile. "Seems like I win already, Lilith."
She glared at him.
"I'll still win. I'll make sure the little bitch dies."
Hux tilted his head. "Oh, but that wasn't the deal. I believe you said you would 'take your place by his side AND kill the healer?'"
Lilith clutched her fists and Hux rolled his eyes
"Of course I'm right."
He walked to the door and stood just inches away from her scowling face.
"Now, are you going to get on your knees or move out of my way?"
If looks could kill, Hux would have died several times due to the hatred in Lilith's eyes. She slowly moved aside and Hux walked out of the room. Lilith punched the door when it closed.
-!-!-!
Rey gathered Poe, Finn, and Rose into a small hut alone. They wanted to come together with a plan to save Saya before presenting it to Leia. Leia was, naturally, grief stricken when she heard the news. But they would work together to save her.
"Saya has to be aboard the First Order's main ship. We need to find a way to sneak onboard to get her back." Rey said to everyone.
Poe, who was usually the first to jump up with any plans, was sitting quietly while Rey was talking. Things had been awkward with everyone as soon as Poe's confession came out about Saya.
"Does anyone have any ideas?" Rey asked.
Finn stood. "We need to find a merchant ship that sells supplies to the First Order. We find one, we can use it to sneak onboard the ship and find her."
Rey thought for a moment. "But then how do we all escape?"
"We would need to steal a ship big enough for all of us. One of the command ships used for larger forces. We take one, disable the tracking device and get the hell out."
Poe sighed and finally stood.
"I'm game. Let's do it."
Rey thought for a moment, then walked over and stood in front of him.
"I'm sorry… about before. I shouldn't have snapped at you."
He gave a half smile and shook his head. "I shouldn't have lied to Saya. I'll apologize after we get her back."
Rey smiled at him then turned to everyone else.
"Is everyone ready to take the plan to Leia?"
Rose and Finn nodded. They were all ready to save Saya, who had saved them many times before.
Poe cracked his knuckled and started to head for the door.
"We need to hurry. We have no idea what's happening to Saya or what Kylo Ren will do to her."
-!-!-!
Saya groaned and her eyes fluttered open. She hadn't slept that good in a long time. She raised her head and realized she was laying on top of Kylo with her head on his chest. His eyes were closed and his face had never seemed more peaceful. She smiled, happy that he was so at peace.
She slowly sat up, trying not to wake him in the process. Sometime while they slept, the light in the room turned off, leaving only the stars outside as the only light source. Perhaps he woke up and turned them off while she was asleep. Saya sat on the bed, admiring the view. It was beautiful. Even though it wasn't the same as being under their tree, she wished her and Kylo could just stay here and look at the stars.
Ben. Not Kylo.
No, last night he was Ben Solo. Her Ben came back to her, even for the night. But she had no idea who he would be when he woke up. She sighed and began to slide off the bed when a pair of strong arms grabbed her and she suddenly found herself laying completely on top of Kylo.
For the first time in two years, he was smiling.
"And where were you going?"
Honestly, I was going to get up and look at the stars.
He laid back as she sat up, her legs on either side of his.
"Saya, tell me the truth. Why was the Healers Order trying to get you back?"
She hesitated. If I tell you, promise me that it will be the end of it. You won't go after them or kill anyone over the matter. What's done is done.
He thought for a moment. "…You have my word. I promise."
She sighed and leaned down to completely lie on top of him, her ear against his beating heart.
I found the answers I've been looking for. I know everything about myself. What I am and where my people come from.
As she told him all of this, Kylo was listening while slowly tracing his fingers over her back.
I am part of an old race of people that were strong with the force. A race that only I and Torin are survivors of. It's my people that created the Healers Order. And once they allowed outsiders into it, my people were run out and the Order crumbled apart. They knew what I saw and wanted to force me to have children with Torin. To use my daughters to bring back the Healers Order to the way it used to be and for my sons to bring back the Jedi.
Kylo stopped tracing his fingers over her skin and she felt the anger boil inside of him. She immediately sat up and looked into his eyes.
Remember your promise! Let it go.
He was grinding his teeth but he nodded. She slowly lowered her head back down to his chest and he began tracing the pattern in her skin again.
"You told me that man was your brother. Is that true?"
Saya sighed.
Sadly, yes. I saw the truth for myself in his mind.
His hands turned to fists against her back.
"And they were going to force you to have children with him…"
I don't think the Order knew he was my brother. He just told them he was the same race as I am. At least, I hope they didn't know.
There was silence for a few moments in the room. Saya could only hear his heart beating for several moments.
"Saya, ever since we met I could feel the power in you. I can feel your presence and find you. But I couldn't on the planet and I can't now. Why?"
Saya slowly sat up again and placed her hand on his chest.
I've learned how to control it. I can choose who I share it with now. I also know how to completely block it off.
Saya closed her eyes and let the shields inside her mind drop. Ben gasped and his entire body tensed up. She had no doubt he could not feel her power inside of himself.
His hands gripped her thighs as he slowly relaxed again.
"Saya… how did you become so powerful in just two years?"
She lowered her head.
I guess the power was always there. I just needed training.
His hands slowly began sliding up her thighs and to her hips. Saya couldn't resist leaning down and kissing him. Once she broke away from the kiss, she raised herself up to look into his eyes.
Does all this change how you feel about me, Ben?
He looked deep into her eyes.
"Nothing will ever change how I feel about you"
Saya didn't even get the change to smile as he grabbed the back of her head and gave her a deep kiss. Kylo couldn't deny the power flowing through his body now that Saya allowed him to share her power with him. Every part of his body felt like it was on fire. Never in his life had he ever felt more powerful.
Saya enjoyed the kiss but jumped when she felt something brush against her entrance.
Ben? What are you-?
She gasped as his tip began to enter her. She tried to roll away but he was too quick. With one thrust of his hips, he was inside her. Saya gasped and she felt herself suddenly sat up, right on top of his hips. He felt so much deeper inside her than she thought possible.
Saya began to shake
Ben… I don't-
He bucked his hips again and she moaned. She loved the feeling of him being deep inside of her.
She began sweating and shaking on top of him, feeling foolish for not doing anything.
Ben, I don't know what to do!
His hands rested at her hips and his laid his head back against the pillows with his eyes closed.
"Just do what feels good to you Saya"
She was breathing hard but slowly found herself lifting herself a few inches off of him, then dropping back into him. She gasped and he groaned. She soon found herself using her knees to lift herself up and down, moaning and panting.
His hands continued to guide her hips and she felt the heat rise back up again inside her.
Ben this feels so good!
He moaned and began thrusting his hips up to catch her as she fell back onto him. Saya felt herself close to climax as she suddenly found herself grinding herself onto him.
He sucked in a breath through his teeth as Saya climaxed and tightened herself up with him still inside her. Her head rolled back and she ground herself against him, riding out her orgasm as long as she could.
A few seconds later, Saya was suddenly flipped over and onto her stomach on the bed. Kylo quickly dropped down on top of her, spread her legs, and was back inside her.
She panted and moaned as he quickly thrust himself inside of her. Kylo was suddenly on his knees and he lifted her up, her back pressed against his chest as he continued to thrust inside of her.
One hand went around her neck while the other traveled down and began rubbing her most sensitive spot. She felt him bite into her shoulder and she hissed in pain, but the pain was short lived.
She gasped and threw her head back, enjoying the feeling.
Kylo was groaning, desperate for his own release.
He kept thrusting while he dropped his mouth next to her ear.
"Do you want me to stop, Saya?"
NO! PLEASE DON'T STOP!
They both fell onto the bed while he kept thrusting into her. He was so close to finishing.
He brushed her hair away from her ear.
"Don't leave me again…"
He felt her tense up but he kept thrusting.
"Please don't leave me again Saya!"
She was moaning and grabbing at the pillows. He moaned and was finally pushed over the edge.
He threw his head back and moaned, riding out his climax as long as he could.
Saya moaned as well, climaxing for a second time.
Kylo dropped back down on top of her and he drifted back off to sleep. Saya felt satisfied and tired but his words still haunted her.
He begged her not to leave him. He actually begged her.
Saya felt herself drift off with her thoughts going in several different directions.
-!-!-!
Rey, Finn, Poe, and Rose stood in the merchants shop, waiting patiently to speak to the owner. After twenty minutes of waiting, they were finally ushered back into his lounge area.
The large balding man was laying on his large couch while sipping his drink.
The small team stood in the middle of the room, impatient and ready to be done with him.
The man looked everyone down before speaking.
"So… you want to use one of MY spice ships to sneak aboard the First Orders Star Destroyer?"
Poe stepped forward. "We heard you are allies with the Resistance. Is that true or do you stand with the First Order?"
The mad suddenly had an angry look on his face. "The First Order purged my spice mines and is taxing my business. And they give me next to nothing for my business. What do you think?"
"Then will you help us?" Rey said, trying to push for an answer.
"And how exactly can I help you? I sell spices. We don't do combat."
"There's someone aboard the ship we need to help" Finn said. "Someone who is crucial to bring down the First Order. We need to get onboard the ship to save them."
The man raised a brow, now looking curious. "And who will you be saving that's so important?"
The small team looked at one another.
"Does it really matter who? They're with us so what does it matter? We need to help them!" Rose exclaimed.
The man sat up and placed his drink on the table in front of him.
"Well, a certain rumor had hit my ears that the Supreme Leader's wife is back beside him. A wife who was once rumored to be with the Resistance."
Rose and Finn looked to the ground but Poe and Rey were unfazed.
"She was a captive!" Rey angrily told the man. "And she's a captive again. We need to save her! Please help us!"
The man shook his head and stood up.
"I want the Resistance to prevail. I want the First Order to go down in flames. But if I let you use one of MY ships to take the Supreme Leaders wife, my business and my LIFE is as good as dead."
He began walking out the door while everyone began speaking up at once.
"Please we need to help her!" Rose exclaimed.
The man held his hand up. "Good luck to you kids. I hope you rescue your friend. But it won't be with my ship"
The man exited the room and Poe turned to punch the wall.
"DAMN IT!" He yelled.
Rey turned to look at everyone.
"This isn't over. We can still sneak on board and get Saya."
Poe turned, clearly frustrated and angry.
"How!? We have no way now!"
"We take one…"
Everyone turned to look at Rose who was staring out the window.
"We take a ship. We take a ship and their uniforms and make a delivery. Then we get onboard and get Saya back."
They all looked out the window, watching the ship load up with spices and other supplies. Poe stepped forward.
"There making a trip to the Star Destroyer tonight. We can steal their uniforms and sneak onboard that way. We won't have to take an entire ship ourselves. Just sneak on as part of their crew."
Everyone looked to one another then nodded.
"Let's get some uniforms." Finn said with confidence.
-!-!-!
Kylo stretched and stood up from the bed, careful not to wake Saya. He walked over to the large window, looking out at the galaxy he will soon have completely control over. A galaxy he and Saya will rule over together.
He turned back towards his bed to see Saya sleeping peacefully.
Her long hair was draped all over the pillows and she even had a small smile on her face. He even admired the small bite he left on her shoulder that hadn't healed itself just yet. He smirked at the idea that maybe she didn't want it to heal.
He slowly walked over and reached his hand out to stroke her uncovered leg.
Two years. Two years was time he lost with her. And in those years, so much had changed. He was no longer under anyone's control. He took orders from no one and did not have to leave her for any reason now. He can now easily find the Resistance and crush them without hesitation.
He couldn't wait to see her on the throne he built for her. She would look glorious sitting on it. For the last two years he imagined her in an elegant black dress, sitting by his side. He would do anything to make her happy.
Though much had changed for her as well. Even if she hadn't considered herself a Jedi, she was damn close to truly being one. Much closer than the scavenger. Her power was beyond anything he had. And with more training and focus, she could overpower any other Jedi or Sith known in history.
He sat on the bed and continued his small strokes on her leg while she slept. Maybe that was it. HE could further her training, not some phantom Jedi master or the scavenger. For the last two years, he dreamed of her sitting beside him while he used his power to rule the galaxy. But now, BOTH of them could. She could be his true equal, as a ruler and powerful force user.
The power she displayed back on the planet was more than enough proof she was just as susceptible to the Dark Side. She let her anger out and he felt more raw power coming off of her. She may have blocked him from sharing that power with him, but he could feel it coming off of her in waves. It's what made the ground shake and crack all around her while she took her stand against Torin. She may have stopped herself from killing him in anger, but with more training and encouragement she could stand by him and know the power of the Dark Side.
He stood again and walked over to her lightsaber on his desk. The craftsmanship was astounding. He smiled at the fact that she created it in an image of his. He could easily show her how to exchange the crystal so hers would be red as well.
Kylo gently placed the lightsaber back down and looked to the far corner of the room. His grandfather's helmet sat on the large white stand. He knew of his grandfather's love for his grandmother, Padme Amidala. But he lost her.
Kylo would not fail where his grandfather failed. He would not lose Saya. Not now or ever.
