My shoulder is being shook. Why am I being shook? I'm warm, but not hot and sweaty. Why is that? I peek an eye open to find myself in Kylo's comfy bed. Oh yes, now I remember. I'm aboard the large ship that my brother commands and I have a long day ahead of me.

Why can't Kylo just ask me to get out of bed instead of shaking me? "Come on, Lyra. Get out of bed. There's a lot that needs to be done." Kylo says. I don't move so much as a muscle. Oh, that's why.

When he realises that I won't be moving anytime soon, he stops shaking me. Though a second later, I'm shivering due to the lack of covers on me. I still don't move.

"Lyra! Out of bed now!" Kylo shouts. "Why?" I ask groaning. "I already told you why. Now get up." He says.

I slowly turn myself over so I'm on my back. Yawning, I open my eyes. Kylo stands impatiently near the bed to which I smile at. I'm doing a swell job of annoying him, but I don't want to ruin the day or anything. Instead, I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and push myself onto my feet.

"Now that you're up, the first order of-" he starts to say, but I cut him off by softly laughing. "What's so funny?" he asks, even more annoyed than before. "Do not tell me that's how The First Order got their name." I say answering his question. "No, it's not." He says irritably.

I clear my throat and nod at him saying, "Continue." "As I was saying, the first, uh, first of all, here are the pair of shorts you requested." He says. My face lights up as he holds up a complete outfit with a pair of them neatly folded on top.

He stares at me a moment and I shift, uneasy under his firm gaze. As I open my mouth to ask what he's looking at, he asks, "Why do you prefer shorts again?"

"Oh, well, Jakku, as you know is very sandy, and that sand seems to get everywhere. It was so uncomfortable inside my pants, so I just wanted a change when I got here." I explain, slightly shocked that he wanted to know something.

Silence fills the air again, leaving us in awkwardness, trying to avoid being caught by one another staring. Then he seems to remember something.

"Unlike you, I get up and get things done because I also got you a room. It's directly across from mine." He says once again giving me a look of annoyance. "Now that that is settled, can we continue?" he asks, but I know he's really asking, 'Can we continue without you interrupting or anything?' I give him a small nod. "Good." He says pleased.

He grabs his mask off a table and puts it on his head. Then he turns around and walks into the hallway once the door slides open. "I will be giving you a basic tour of the ship once you've changed." he says and then the door closes again. I quickly dress in the new clothes which are all black just as the others.

He shows me multiple places that I will supposedly need to know for the future such as different control rooms, where meetings are held, etc. I also learn that the white-armoured men are called stormtroopers.

After the grand tour, we go back to one of the control rooms. The next thing on Kylo's extravagant to do list is introductions.

The doors slide open and Kylo steps into the room before me. A red-headed man turns around and tenses up at seeing Kylo, but not in fear. "What is it that you need of me Ren?" He asks a bit forcefully. Kylo steps to the side so the man can see me.

"Did you kidnap some girl from that dump of a planet?" He asks with a look of disgust on his face. I immediately lift the man into the air by his neck with the force. He wriggles under the tight grip, but to no avail. Suddenly Kylo's hand rests on my arm and he says, "Stop."

I glance at his mask before deciding to let the man drop to the floor. Once the man is back on his feet, Kylo introduces me. "General Hux, this is my sister, Lyra." Kylo says, emphasising the word 'sister'.

"A-Apologies Lo-Lord Ren, Lyra." Hux stammers still catching his breath, though not actually meaning it.

"Lyra this is General Hux. He and I command the Finalizer." Says Kylo, continuing the introductions. I only nod in response.

He then turns to face the door and says, "Lyra, stay in here for a few moments while I discuss a matter with Hux in the hallway."

He walks out with Hux, the door sliding shut behind them which leaves me standing awkwardly in the control room. Everyone in the control room is concentrated on the screens in front of them. I gaze over the shoulders of the hard working people to catch a glimpse of what they're doing, but a particular monitor in the corner catches my eye.

Standing outside the room is Kylo and Hux. My brother towers over the ginger-haired man who is glaring hard at him. I wonder briefly what they're discussing.

Then the door slides open, allowing Kylo to step inside the room once more. His head turns in my direction and he says, "Follow me." I walk out into the hallway behind him and he again navigates us to another room.

The doors slide open and we step inside. Facing us is the backside of a stormtrooper, though this one seems to be more important than the ordinary white ones. This one is clad in silver armour with a black, soft looking cape around one shoulder with a red trim.

The stormtrooper turns around to face us and upon seeing Kylo, he nods his head slightly, a small sign of respect, something Hux failed to do, and as far as I could tell, it wasn't forced.

"Is that her?" Asks the stormtrooper. My eyebrows raise in shock at the stormstrooper's voice which was feminine. I assumed all stormtroopers were men, but apparently not.

"Yes, this is Lyra. Lyra, this is Captain Phasma. After our meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke, Phasma is going to test your physical abilities. I will watch and assess from the side. Then I will test your abilities with the Force." Kylo says.

Nothing more is said and Kylo briskly walks out of the room. I nod my head and say, "Captain Phasma." She nods her head as well, saying, "Lyra." Then I jog into the hallway.

Looking both directions, I catch a glimpse of Kylo's cape brush the corner of the wall to the left. I sprint down the hall, chasing after him.

"So this Snoke person," I say once I catch up to Kylo, "you said he is your master and that he'll be mine too. Is there anything I should know before meeting him?"

"Lyra, once you choose the dark side, you must be fully devoted because there's no turning back." Kylo replies just as we reach the entrance to the room in which I must choose where my loyalties lie.
