Chapter 12:

Kylo had been in a bad mood when he couldn't reach Rey through their bond when he'd spotted the Falcon and it had been downhill from there. He should have known she would bring the fur ball, the pilot and the traitor with her. He was barely keeping himself in check as she and the pilot moved forward together.

He could see that they were working as a team and didn't really seem to notice it. Rey's mind was still closed to him and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened between now and when he last got to speak to her.

He was beyond shocked to see the Pilot pull his Rey close for a private conversation. He and Phasma watched as the small group discussed Rey's plan and it was obvious that they didn't approve of this plan. He wondered if his mother was even aware of this plan.

"We do trust you Rey. It's him we don't trust," the traitor said pointing toward Kylo.

Kylo had to laugh. The traitor didn't trust him. That was laughable considering the fact that he was a deserter of the First Order. Phasma's eyes locked onto FN-2187 and the girl who seemed glued to his side.

"Can I kill him yet, Supreme Leader," Phasma asked and pulled her weapon from the hostler. "No, Phasma. I told you there are things that need to be done before you can take your vengeance on them," Kylo said in a low voice.

He used to force to listen to Rey reassuring her friends. She was staying behind and Kylo's heart began racing. Was she staying behind so that they could talk, he wondered. The pilot asked her something and she nodded.

Kylo felt the sting of jealousy as Rey hugged each member of the group, most of which were males. The traitor, Kylo didn't mind since obviously the male had found affection with the only other female of their little group. He hoped that she would avoid the Pilot. Much to Kylo's dismay his Rey threw her arms around the pilot. They stayed in the embrace way longer than Kylo would have liked but to protest would just show his hand.

He had kept his calm by breathing deeply and remembering that Rey was his. Though there was a seed of doubt now. She'd refused to let their minds meet even at the barest minimum. What if his refusal to stop sleeping with other women had pushed Rey right into the arms of the other man?

The little voice in the back of his mind that he used to think was Snoke told him that there was no way someone like Rey could ever love him for him. He didn't deserve someone as good as her. He'd had his chance and he'd blown it, which is exactly what he'd known would happen if he gave in to his feelings for her.

He was struggling to control himself when the Pilot pressed his mouth to Rey's. Rage poured out of Kylo with the heat of a flash fire. The ships began to tremble with the force of his rage. Rey felt the shaking and pushed Poe away from her so hard that he stumbled and looked at her confused but she only had eyes for Kylo. Fear for her friends was written all over her beautiful face.

Kylo pulled his lightsaber from his belt and let out a mighty roar. The members of the Resistance looked confused but he could tell that Rey knew what was going on. He nodded to the Stormtroopers who began firing as the rebels ran to the ships that Kylo had promised them.

"GO! GET OUT OF HERE," Rey yelled as she caught and deflected blaster bolt after blaster bolt.

She protected her friends and Tayven the giant kept the Stormtroopers from taking Hux or storming the Falcon. Kylo's eyes were focused on Poe Dameron who'd had the audacity to kiss his Rey. Phasma was trying to get passed Tayven to get to Finn and Rose who had hightailed it back onto the Falcon when Poe and 3 Jasmenerthians ran for the x-wings and tanker ship.

Rey and the giant were the only two currently on the ground fighting. Rey had taken down 10 Stormtroopers with their own blaster bolts. Kylo was torn between making sure his Stormtroopers didn't hurt Rey and getting to the pilot before Poe could into the X-wing with his damnedable droid and take off.

He looked and saw that Phasma was fighting the giant and not getting very far. Rey was throwing Stormtroopers all over the place using the force. Kylo reached out with the force to grab the pilot by the throat. Poe's feet left the ground and began kicking. The little droid went racing over to Rey.

"LET HIM GO, KYLO," Rey yelled.

Kylo's eyes snapped to her's. She had her quarterstaff in her hands and she was coming toward him with something akin to fury in her hazel eyes. Kylo began squeezing the man's throat harder and his face was turning a deep burgundy color. Suddenly Kylo was pushed into the side of his shuttle.

His grip on the pilot loosened then he fell to the ground sputtering. The little orange and white droid was beeping frantically. Kylo tried to get to his feet but pressure from the Force kept him down. He was getting sick of her doing this to him.

Rey's eyes were hard as she came closer to him. Suddenly Phasma landed in a heap against the side of the shuttle near Kylo. She groaned in pain but didn't get up.

"Get out of here, Tayven. Catch up to the others," Rey called over her shoulder but her eyes were locked on Kylo's.

Behind her the fuel tanker, 3 of the x-wings and the falcon all jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. Kylo's rage peeked. His plan was going to shit all because that pilot couldn't keep his lips and hands to himself.

"I can't leave you, Rey," the giant called back but he had to hatch to the x-wing open. "You must. I can keep these two busy at least until you get into the air," she said, using all of her concentration to keep Kylo where he was. "Okay," the large male said not wanting to argue with a force wielder strong enough to hold Kylo immobile.

The male got in his ship and took off but before he could get far a turret shot hit the thing, causing it to explode on impact. Rey's concentration slipped as she watched in horror as fire and debris rained down from the destroyed X-wing. Thalia's ship appeared a few seconds later. Rey eyes shot to Kylo. She looked so broken as she realized Kylo was planning to double cross them.

"How could you," she cried.

He was suddenly very glad that she didn't have a blaster or her lightsaber. Her anger quaked the planet almost as badly as his anger had. She turned to the remaining Stormtroopers and flung them into the side of the shuttle. The pressure hold Kylo down eased enough that he was able to get to his feet.

Rey, he tried to call to her mind but she was still keeping him out.

This anger was worse than after she'd seen him with Kalissa. Rey began to rage, ripping trees from the ground, sending rocks flying all over the place. She had trusted him and once again he had disappointed her. Rey screamed at him and the force of it knocked him back to the ground.

Rey took off running toward the last remaining X-wing. He could feel her anger and panic threaten to pull her down. He could feel the darkness trying to take her over. If that happened on her way back to the Resistance, she might rip her friends apart when she got there. Then even if he was able to drag her back into the light she would never be able to live with herself.

"Rey, stop," Kylo bellowed as she climbed into the cockpit of the X-wing.

The look she shot him was pure hatred and there were tears in her eyes. Kylo got to his feet and was racing toward her as she started the X-wing's engine and took off.

He pressed the communication device right behind his ear that connected him to Thalia's ship and said, "Disable that ship. If it makes it to hyperspace, your life is forfeit. If the pilot is serious injured, your Queen's life is forfeit!" "Yes, Supreme Leader," the Jasmenerthian responded.

Kylo bent down to help Phasma up. She was furious and he didn't need to see her face to know it. He was angry too. His plan was ruined, this time by his own hand.

The Resistance was supposed to give up Hux and then flee, Thalia's ship would be there to track them back to their base and report the location back to Kylo who would then descend on them with everything the First Order could muster. Now most of the ships had escaped into Hyperspace, the one they could have tracked was destroyed and now his Rey was the only member of the Resistance left on the planet.

Kylo watched as Thalia's ship fired turret shots at Rey's X-wing. He had to admit that she was an excellent pilot as she fought to get out of Xaglosie's atmosphere. The first shot to hit her, took out both of the starboard wings. As the ship started to fall back into the atmosphere, Kylo held out his hand and slowed it's decent with the force. Rey must have hit her head when the turret shot hit her ship because Kylo could not sense her mind as he gently set the craft onto the ground.

"Supreme Leader, should I get the shackles," Officer Jones asked as Kylo began walking toward the wreckage.

Kylo threw him toward the shuttle without even a glance. He had to get to Rey. The effort it took to keep the ship from streaking toward ground and killing Rey had been more than Kylo expected and he would need to rest soon.

"Ren, what are you doing," Hux asked, finally coming to.

He was holding the side of his ginger head near a line of dried blood. Kylo really wished he'd stayed out. Instead he looked to the only two Stormtroopers who were still standing.

"Escort the General onto the shuttle," he snapped. "Yes, Supreme Leader," they said in unison and grabbed Hux under the arms to drag him onto the shuttle. "Yes, Ren what are you doing," Phasma asked from the side of the shuttle. "I am capturing the only other force user in the galaxy," he said.

The hatch to the cockpit was hanging off the side and Rey was slumped over the controls when he got to the ship. Blood trickled down the side of her face. Kylo lifted her from the spacecraft and cradled her in his arms. This was only the second time he got to hold her like this and it made him feel good to have her this close.

As he stepped onto the ramp he knew there was no turning back. She would no doubt be angry with him when she woke up but by that time she would be far away from the Resistance. In time she would either forgive him or kill him. Kylo was becoming more and more comfortable with the fact that they would either thrive together or one of them would destroy the other.

He took her back to his sleeping quarters and laid her on his bed. She would have looked peaceful if she weren't dirty and covered in small cuts and blood. He wanted to clean her up but also didn't want her to wake in a strange bed wearing different clothes, knowing that someone had undressed her while she was not conscious and able to defend herself. Not growing up the way that she did.

Instead he locked the door and left her alone. He would come back and check on her periodically and figured that he would have to keep her under at least until he could get her back to his rooms on the Vengeance. In the meantime, he needed to figure out what to do next.

Hux would want to see Rey bleed if not executed for her part in Snoke's death. Kylo couldn't let that happen. Not if he were to make up for all the things he'd done.

He shook his head. Every time he got around that Scavenger girl everything that Snoke had instilled in him went right out of the window. He could be planning her demise but as soon as he could see her or feel her presence, all he could think about was how he could make her happy, how could he get her by his side, and how he could move toward being a man who deserved her. In some ways it made him sick to think he was so love sick over that Scavenger girl, but at the end of the day he craved her.

As the shuttle jumped into Hyperspace heading for the Vengeance, Kylo began pacing the short space in front of the door to his quarters. The Stormtroopers watched their leader with wary eyes. Phasma was watching Hux who was watching Kylo.

Phasma felt about the ginger the same way that Kylo did. She would help him rid the Order of Hux with no hesitation and that was part of the reason that Kylo had used so many Kolto patches to heal her and why he was going to promote her to general as soon as Hux was gone.

"What do you think you are doing, Ren! That filthy scavenger should have been killed on sight. Taking her alive is a mistake. One you've made twice before now. Will it take her killing you for you to realize that you can't control her! Your incompetence will be the end of us all," Hux yelled.

Phasma and Kylo exchanged a glance and then Hux slammed into the wall nearest Kylo. He held the ginger by his pale throat using the force. Hux's eyes were wild with fear.

"You forget your place General. I just got you back when I could have allowed the Resistance to keep you for the rest of your days. I did not miss your constant, incessant questioning! I will not tolerate it any longer. Now sit down and shut up," Kylo practically yelled at the slightly shorter man.

Hux clawed at his throat as he waited for Kylo to let him go. Kylo waited another 30 seconds before letting the ginger slide to the floor. Kylo left the living area and returned back to his room.

He was pacing again. Rey was splayed out on his bed, breathing easy. He could only imagine how furious she would be when she woke up on the Vengeance.

Kidnapping is not the way to a girl's heart, nephew, Luke's voice came before he actually appeared. I didn't see any other way. If I'd have let her go, Thalia would have blown Rey out of the sky just to spite me, Kylo said with certainty. And whose fault is that? You are just making things harder for the two of you, Luke said sounding exasperated. I KNOW! I don't know how to be the person the two of you want me to be. I'm just doing the best that I can. At least now that she is with me I can try to prove that I am worthy of her. But only if you tell me why it's so important for us to balance the Force, Kylo said.

Luke sighed. He should have known that Kylo would never just do what he wanted. He would have to give him a reason for him to do it. Luke would have to tell him now that Luke's desire for them to be together was for the greater good and not for the good of the two people he was trying to bring together.

What do you know about the uncharted territories of the galaxy, Luke asked and Kylo became instantly confused. That it's uncharted, Kylo said with a slight frown. Well there is a reason that it's uncharted…

A/N: Poor Rey and wtf Kylo. Kidnapping is never okay! Lol. But please review. Your support and criticism are what keeps the story going.
