Chapter 3: Unclear

A/N: Just wanted to remind you guys that in this book the two- Kylo and Rey- aren't related, if they are then it's too distant (i.e distant relations) to matter. Also, feel free to review and tell me what you think. I'm loving writing this book so far and I have very big plans for it (#Reylo!) I apologize for any mistakes.

Anything you don't understand? Just ask.
(Ironic that this chapter is called unclear, right?)

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars and any of the characters portrayed in this work except those that I myself create.

Kylo: If you say that one more time...
Rey: Shut up, Kylo. Find someone else to bother.

I woke to the sound of marching and immediately sat up in bed; stormtroopers. It didn't hurt as much as before but that was only because I had gotten a full nights rest and it hadn't been on a freaking table.

Rubbing my eyes, I let out a yawn and rested my back against the headboard. I had ever been a morning person, waking up had always been the hardest part of my day. I raked my fingers through my hair attempting to smooth it down and yawned again.

My stomach grumbled.

I did a quick survey of the room and came to the conclusion that Kylo was gone. The clock said it was nine thirty. I wondered where he'd slept as I got to my feet and walked to the bathroom. On the bed? He wouldn't dare. Perhaps in the floor, it was certainly less than he deserved for what he'd done.

I turned on the tap an rinsed my face before putting some toothpaste in my mouth and filling it with water. I gurgled the mixture and spat it out then rinsed my mouth.

He was probably out doing God knows what he did during the day.

After taking a quick shower and wearing the same clothes I had been wearing for days now, I flipped back onto the bed and wondered what he'd expected me to do all day. I tried the door, locked and the window wasn't the kind that opened. Either that or it was locked too. How dare he lock me in this room with nothing to do all day?

Typically, I wasn't a person who could spend all day in the same place. I liked to move around. It made me comfortable knowing I had space to move, that when things got complicated I could run. This was Kylo's revenge, keeping me here.

That bastard.

I moved to the window that over looked another hallway and wondered where it led. Sure it was nothing but grey for as far as I could see but watching the troopers march past gave me something to occupy my time with. Until they were all gone.

Somewhere General Phasma was supervising them, keeping an eye out purposefully for any slip up. I groaned and banged at the window.

"This is so boring."

Laying back in the bed, an idea struck me. Of course! Why hadn't I thought of it earlier? I moved to the desk and grabbed the chair.

Metallic.

Good.

It was going to make a lot of noise but it was the only plan I had to get put of here because I certainly wasn't going to sit and wait around for Kylo to return. Testing the weight of the chair in my still weak arms, I climbed onto the bed with my shoes on. This was going to make so much noise.

With as much force as I could, I brought down the chair on the glass of the window. Unfortunately, it wasn't as thin as I'd first thought and didn't shatter. I paused to listen for the sound of footsteps, panic swelling in me, but there was nothing. So I raised my arms and took another swing.

This time the glass cracked and I smiled to myself. Kylo thought he could keep me in here, I would show him. One more swing and the glass would give way. Gathering all my strength, I hit the window once more and it shattered. Shards of glass flew in every direction and I shut my eyes so they wouldn't blind me.

Then using the back if the chair, I forced the jagged edges from the window sill and onto the floor. Shouts coming from outside the room let me know that someone had heard; I needed to get out fast.

I peered out of the window and saw that the distance to the ground wasn't big. The only problem was that there was glass at the bottom so jumping was out of the option unless I wanted to leave trail of blood for them.

"What's the combination?" I heard a man yell outside the room.

"It's no good, we'll have to go round."

Bracing myself, I crawled out of the window and grabbed onto the grooves in the wall. It would hurt but I had no option but to climb. It wasn't that far anyway. A rush of cold air hit me and I nearly let go of the wall.

'You can do this Rey, you've been scaling walls since you were a little girl.' with those thoughts in my mind, I began to make my way away from the room.

I cursed when a shot missed me narrowly and looked up in time to see a stormtrooper aim. I pushed myself harder struggling to get to a part of the floor with no glass. But before he could shoot he was interrupted when a man who was obviously of higher rank, he pushed down his gun and glared at him.

The older man with white hair shot a glance my way before turning back to the stormtrooper.

"Put down your blaster EN-3267," he commanded. "He wants her alive."

I made a run for it not knowing where I was going but not caring in the least bit. I knew they're probably already altered Kylo and that he'd be after me. A few of the stormtroopers glanced my way but made no move to follow me, they were probably afraid I'd user he force against them.

I felt something shift in the force and knew Kylo wasn't far off. He was upset, I could feel it, an I didn't know why but it made me happy deep inside. I kept up my pace even though my legs were crying out and my lungs were burning for air until I got to an alcove.

Hiding behind it, I caught my breath.

The feeling was there again, Kylo was looking and pretty soon he would find me.

I didn't know where I was going so I stayed put for a while. I may run into someone I didn't want to. When the sound of footsteps dies down, I eased out of the alcove and faced right which was where I had come from. Should I go that way? Maybe I could follow the troopers to a way out.

"And here I thought we were getting along just fine," he said.

I spun to face his masked face.

"I'm not letting you take me back to that place," I said.

"Of course you're not," he said grabbing my arm.

I struggled to loosen his grip but only made it tighter. Eventually, I let him drag me all the way back to the base glaring daggers at his back while he did.

"Ren," General Hux said in acknowledgment as we passed him in the hall.

Kylo gave no answer and continued on his way.

"I hope you are aware of the uproar this one girl has caused on my base," he said.

"I am aware and I intend to punish her for it. However, stating that this base belongs to you is an assumption in order of correction," Kylo replied his voice nothing short of demeaning.

That had to sting but I supposed Hux had been working with Kylo long enough to be able to bear it. He shot him a glare before walking off. Then I remembered what he'd just said.

"What do you mean you intend to punish me?"

He didn't answer, that mute douche, and instead dragged me to his room. He punched in the code and the machine did a retinal scan before the door slid open and he threw me to the floor following after. The door shut behind him.

"You can't do this!" I yelled. "I won't let you!"

"You think screaming will help you? You're my prisoner," he said emphasis in the second last word.

"Don't come near me," I said getting up.

He didn't listen, he took off the helmet and tossed it aside before making his way to me backing me to the wall. I closed my eyes and tried to the use the force but he was stronger than me in that area and blocked my weak attempts.

When he was a foot away from me, I felt him slip into my mind. It wasn't painful like the last time. He filled my mind with images. Images of darkness and what I could become if I allowed him to teach me. I saw his greed and the power that the dark side had given him. It made me want to...

I couldn't.

If I succumbed, if I joined the dark side, I would be binding myself to a life of slavery. Even Kylo wasn't truly free.

"No," I whispered. "Please, Kylo."

I could feel his warm breath on my face, I could smell the cologne and traces of cigarettes. He was so close to me, if either one of us moved, he would be kissing me. When I looked at him, his brown eyes were focused intently on me and for once I couldn't hold his gaze.

"Do you feel it Rey?" he asked his skin brushing against mine as he leant in to whisper the words in my ear.

The way he said my name made me shudder and it wasn't out if fear.

A jolt spread through my body an I tried to ignore it but I couldn't. His proximity was making me light headed, I didn't understand why he was doing this. He put his hands on either side of me trapping me in place.

"Answer me," he said.

I drew a shaky breath. "Yes."

He smirked.

"Good, now you know what it feels like," he said bringing his face dangerously close to mine, our lips nearly brushing.

And at that moment I wasn't sure whether he meant the dark side or what he was doing.
