That's it, thanks to that error in the card there was no turning back, Rey was going to have to face Kylo Ren. She was speechless, she knew that she would have to face him sooner or later, but even though it had been a couple of months since her arrival to Starkiller Base she felt like it was a little too soon because no one can ever be ready enough to meet Kylo Ren.

- Zazil?

Kylo´s voice interrupted Rey's thoughts

- Huh? Sorry I…

Her data pad pinged and she fixed her eyes on the message

- I, have to go. A nervous laugh escaped her. See you later Matt

This time there was no kiss on the cheek, she didn't even look at him before she walked away leaving him confused and disappointed, wasn't she supposed to be happy? Maybe he should've listened to Hux and get her jewelry instead… He kept on thinking about what was wrong when he lowered his gaze and saw Zazil's hair pin. He picked it up and thought about giving it back to her later.

The rest of the day went by slowly, Kylo didn't saw Rey at lunch and god he missed her… He was sitting in the dining table staring at his food lost in his thoughts, he never imagined that he could ever feel this way; for God's sake he was Kylo Ren, a monster, the man who murdered his own father, the dreaded commander of the first order, and besides all that… He was a grown up man, but there was something about that girl that made him feel as if he was a teenager again, the mere thought of her made him smile… Smiling; he thought he had forgotten how to do that.

Suddenly he felt someone sit beside him, he felt butterflies on his stomach that quickly ceased when he turned his body to see it was just Zach… followed by Tim. Great first he doesn't get to see his girl and now he has to eat with those two losers… He was definitely not in the mood so as soon as they took a seat he stood up and left annoyed.

- Dude, Matt straight up sucks, said Tim.

It was already late so he went to his room as he thought about where he could buy jewelry. He was changing his clothes for sleep so he began to remove his vest when he felt it, the hair pin in one of his pockets. He had almost forgotten about it, he thought than now he will at least have an excuse to go fetching Zazil tomorrow.

He had changed his uniform for some baggy black pajama pants and he wasn't wearing any shirt to cover his pale torso, he had removed the wig and the glasses when the hair pin began to make a sound. He walked to his bed and took it in his hands… How could he be so blind? He pressed the red ruby and even though he couldn't recognize the voice at first his suspicions were confirmed when he heard the man at the other side of the call say:

- Rey? It's me, Luke, can you hear me?

The holo camera was turned off so Luke didn't saw Kylo who ended the call immediately.

-That's it no more Matt he growled as he left the room.

Of course he drew attention as he walked furiously wearing only slippers and his pajamas pants now as Kylo and no longer as Matt.

- Man, Kylo Ren is actually shredded, said a random employee

He arrived to his old quarters and threw his body against the soft king sized bed covered in black silk bed sheets with his hands in his face. He felt betrayed, angry and… hurt? He didn't know what to do now, was he going to take her as a prisoner, was he going to report her to Snoke or was he going to… kill her? He wanted to do all the previous things after all, she was a rebel, a member of the enemy's army, the scavenger girl who slashed his face and almost killed him…

…But he couldn't, he couldn't because she also was the woman that he had fallen in love with, the woman that taught him how to smile again, how to find calcinators, the girl that was always there saving half her muffin for him, giving him cheek kisses, holding his hand. He simply couldn't hurt her. And suddenly a single tear came out of his left eye as he fell asleep.

Zazil was lying in her bed still wearing her uniform. At that moment she didn't mind that the comfortable pillows and bed sheets that she was enjoying so much were a present from Kylo Ren, after all they were a gift for Zazil, not for Rey. There has been a lot of reparations needed that day so she didn't had time to have lunch and her tummy was aching but she was more tired than hungry so she changed her clothes into a pair of dark blue shorts and a baggy and slightly over sized white t shirt, then she undo her hair without even noticed the hair pin was missing and she went back to bed to fall asleep while thinking about how badly she had missed Matt during the day.

Next day Kylo woke up feeling bitter, he changed into his uniform and placed his helmet, he grabbed his data pad and transferred his credits to the account where he was supposed to deposit the repairs payment, truth was he had the money since two weeks after he started working as a radar technician but he was faking he didn't just to spend more time with… Rey.

He left his room and spotted two random troopers walking by

- Bring me Zazil, the support technician and if she refuses to come… Force her.

Rey woke up to the sound of her data pad, she read the message

Monthly meeting today at 1000 hours

- Leslie

Fuck, she rose up from her bed in a rush, it was late so she quickly changed her clothes and did her hair as she left her room practically running

- And now some announcements

She heard Leslie's voice saying tiredly as she rushed into the meeting room

- The technicians: Dan, Missie, Greg and Matt won't be working with us anymore, and that's it, go back to work.

What? Rey felt emptiness in her chest… how was it possible? Why did Matt left? And without even telling her… she was hurting as she saw everyone leave the room. Suddenly, two troopers came in and asked something to Leslie who pointed her.

- Zazil, Kylo Ren orders to see you right now.

- Tell him to wait, she said without thinking, she was hurt by the news about Matt and the last thing she wanted to do was to deal with Kylo Ren.

- Sorry, but he won't.

The troopers didn't want to hurt her but they were terrified to discover what would happen if the disobeyed Ren so they grabbed her by the arms, one on each side and tried to drag her but she protested.

- Ok, relax, I can walk on my own

The troopers nodded and released her, they started walking and Rey followed, she didn't understand what was happening. When they arrived to Kylo's quarters the troopers stepped aside to allow Rey to enter to the room. She was terrified, unarmed, all by herself surrounded by the whole enemy's army, she thought about calling Luke when it suddenly hit her, she had lost the hair pin…

- So, you know why you are here

A robotic voice spoke from behind.

Rey said nothing as he removed his helmet to face her.

- We meet again little scavenger, what a surprise having you as a visitor here at Starkiller, unfortunately I can't say it's a glad one

While he spoke Rey saw a pair of glasses lying in the floor

- Monster! What have you done to Matt? Rey was almost on tears, she was a wreck of emotions. Fear, anger. She was broken.

- Matt? He laughed cynically, He is dead

- No

Her voice was a loud scream, she was in tears now and suddenly a wave of rage pushed her to fight him with only her bare hands. She felt her body froze before she could even touch him; he was using the force against her when she tried to counter him and break his hold

- That won't work anymore, failed attempt of a Jedi, I've become more powerful since the last time we meet.

She stopped fighting when she realized with a heavy heart that he was right and she couldn't win this time. Her body that once was frozen and suspended on the air collapsed on the hard cold floor.

He could feel her pain, hurting her was killing him but he didn't know how to control himself. He was furious because she had made a fool out of him and no one; absolutely no one toys around with Kylo Ren and gets away with it.

- Stand up, he commanded

She was broken, she obeyed without a word.

Kylo knew that if he didn't kill her now then Snoke would and he wouldn't be nearly as gentle as him… but he also knew the pain of losing a loved one, of killing a loved one…

Rey could unconsciously feel him, his pain, the dilemma in his tormented soul, even though she wasn't exactly sure what was going on in his mind and in a moment of bravery she interrupted his thoughts.

- I feel it too…

Kylo turned his body to face her, his rage was showing.

- What did you just say?

- I know how you feel, I miss Han too, he…

- Enough

That was enough to make him loose his sanity and an invisible hand on Rey's throat interrupted her words.

- You deserve to be dead, just like him. You are useless, weak, you are no one.

His rudeness detonated Rey's sleeping rage this time who shouted at him with the little breath that was still in her

- I have a name and it is Rey, go ahead and kill me, coward.

Kylo couldn't take it anymore, hearing her broken, hurt as she was, thinking about doing such thing, it was driving him crazy and he knew he wouldn't be able to do it.

- You know, I could actually find a better use for you, Rey, He said her name in a mocking tone. You'll live here as my prisoner, you'll do everything I say and you'll fix your attitude towards me, understood?

Rey would've never accept that deal she frowned at him and he nodded

- Fine, if you don't want to accept my offer then you can walk out of this room, you are free to do so, just imagine how everyone would react to a rebel in our main base.

- Just kill me

- What makes you think I would be so generous to make you such a favor? Either you do as I say or you go out and face Snoke and his whole army, weapons and rage.

Rey thought about following his game until she found a way to escape

- Fine

- Good girl, he smirked.
