Rey sat fuming on her bed, watching the droids repair the crack in her window. Her heart still racing from the encounter with Kylo Ren. Her jaw began to feel locked and teeth a little sore from all the grinding she was doing.
Her head snapped back to her door when she felt someone coming close to her room. Rey stood her arms out, her stance defensive. If Kylo Ren wanted to push her any further she may kill him on the spot.
Jedi don't think like that...Why am I thinking like that?
When General Hux strolled through with his familiar pompous sneer, Rey felt her shoulders relax a bit.
"Expecting someone else?"
Rey crossed her arms and turned away from him. The thought that the two discussed her behind her back made her skin crawl.
"Ren's methods certainly don't mirror mine."
"The Dark Side is the Dark Side. Methods don't change the intent."
She heard him scoff at bit to himself.
"We are two very different men."
"Oh, is that what you call yourselves? Monsters... Why exactly are you here?"
Rey sniffed at him, barely glancing at his direction.
"Your friends have been captured. They are landing now in the cargo bay."
Rey twirled and took three long strides toward General Hux. Her hand shot up, sending Hux up against the wall. His throat closing quickly. He struggled against the invisible hands around his neck.
"Take me to them. Now."
She loosened her grip on Hux. He coughed out a short response.
"It doesn't matter if you kill me...it only kills them...quicker"
Rey dropped him suddenly. Her emotions were crashing like waves over her. Finn. Poe. Her mind was racing. She stood over Hux, who had was still on the ground, massaging his neck.
"Even Kylo Ren has not had the audacity to-"
"Bring me to them."
He stood quickly, towering over her. She was impressed by his fearlessness. He must have faced down many talented force beings to still be able to face her unflinchingly.
"You do not give orders to me, Girl."
"Then why tell me that they are her? To persuade me to join you? Dangly something I need in my face...to pull it away. To destroy everything I love? That is how you force people to join your side? Destruction?"
General Hux's eyes were unrecognizable. Rey couldn't read his thoughts or his mood, her emotions were blinding her too greatly.
Before she could open her mouth to demand him to speak, he grasped her by the back of the head. His lips hit hers. He pulled her into him before Rey could think. Her first kiss was being stolen by this monster.
Rey's hands shoved him away. Her hands curling to fists. She thrust them out again, this time blowing the door off her quarters. General Hux hit the opposing wall across the hall.
Rey darted out of the room, not caring to look if General Hux was even moving. The hallway surprisingly empty.
Run faster. Faster to them.
Rey retraced her steps to the elevator, mashing the buttons to the cargo bay level. Sweat was pouring down her face.
Feeling the elevator ding made her blood start to pump even harder. She threw herself out into the Cargo bay. Before her were 30 soldiers or so in formation. Some were escorting a group of 15 people from a ratty looking Resistance ship. Rey searched the crowd for the faces of Finn and Poe.
Finn spotted Rey before she spotted them.
"Rey!" He hollered across the room. Poe turning to see her, his charming smile bursting from his face. Even in the worst situations...he knew to smile. Rey ran across the bay, shooting her arm out toward half the soldiers, sending them flying. Her power was humming through her, along with her heart. As she got closer, she twisted her hands, unlocking the handcuffs on the prisoners.
The prisoners took off in different directions, taking on Stormtroopers, who seemed completely surprised by the whole attack.
Rey looked up to the bridge over the bay to see Kylo Ren, in his mask, standing over them watching. Her eyes glared up at him.
She threw herself into Finn's arms. He surprised more so by kissing him hard. He happily responded after the shock of the motion.
"Rey-? What are you doing-"
Blasters began to sound off around them, making the three duck down behind a cargo bin.
"I just needed to. I didn't betray the Resistance."
"Rey, We know. The First Order doesn't know you like We do."
Finn planted a small kiss on her cheek, dodging another blaster.
"Plus..the First Order are not very good liars when talking about our favorite girl."
Poe winked at her, glancing over the cargo bin.
"We need to get out of here."
"This wasn't a very thought out plan of mine."
"But it was a surprise to everyone."
Rey glanced around, she could feel Ren's presence coming closer. Her eyes fell on the vent beneath them.
"Get in the vent, this ship is massive. It will take them forever to find you."
"Come with us."
Poe started to climb in the vent, Finn grasping at Rey, trying to pull her in.
"I can't. He can sense me. He can find me."
Finn looked tortured as he let her go.
"Rey, I will find you again."
He disappeared into the vent. Giving time for Rey to delay the stormtroopers creeping up slowly behind the crates. She stood up, summoning all her power, and pushed outwards with all her strength. The boxes went flying into a row of troopers.
Kylo Ren merely stepped aside from the cargo bins as they were flung towards him. He glanced around the bay where Rey stood. His fists clenching.
"Where are they Rey?"
Rey merely smirked at him.
"Far from here by now."
He stormed up to her. She didn't flinch at the mask in her face.
"You think you can resist the dark side much longer...I can feel it brimming off you. Its waving off you. When you finally let it in, you will help me find them. You will destroy them. For the dark side. For me."
Rey stared at the black mask with confidence.
"If I turn to the dark side...it will be to destroy you. Monster."
