Her training for the day consisted of levitating heavy rocks, the usual mediation, and strength training. Luke had her run up and down the gravel steps several times over. The exercise felt good, but it also completely exhausted her.
He explained to her that it was essential to strengthen both the mind, and the body. She understood this of course, but that didn't mean that she didn't protest.
"Master, if I run up the steps one more time I am positive I will fall over in exhaustion."
"Very well," he sighed. "I suppose that is enough strength training for the day."
She sighed in relief, and then proceeded back to her quarters to take a well deserved nap.
She changed out of her clothes that were now completely drenched in sweat, and crawled into bed with only her undergarments. She fell into a deep, peaceful sleep within minutes.
She had been having recurring dreams of the night she defeated Kylo Ren, how she struck him down, how good it felt when she gave him that scar.
But now, she dreamt of him in another way. She saw herself, in his bed. He was on top of her, kissing her, rather passionately, and she was kissing him back. She saw herself running her hands through his jet black hair, and watched as one hand moved its way to the small of his back. Rey was ashamed of herself of thinking of this, of seeing herself like this. Thinking of how he tasted, how he felt on top of her.
She remembered how Luke told her that those who share a force bond can plant images to the others mind, even from great distances. Was that what was happening? Was she the one thinking of these images, or were they planted there by Kylo Ren? She woke up immediately, unable to view their bodies intertwined in that state any longer.
She looked around the room, and the empty space beside her to ensure that it indeed, was only a dream. She rubbed her face with frustration, and sighed out deeply. She murmured to herself,
"It was only a dream."
"It was only a dream."
It took Kylo Ren five days time to reach his destination of the planet Ahch-To. He was confident in himself that he would be successful in persuading the girl, and knew that he would not be seen as a failure yet again to Supreme Leader Snoke.
He went through his plan carefully in his head. He was to wait until nightfall and take the girl in her sleep. He knew of his weakness of her, he knew of her capabilities, and knew this option would be the best. He would then bring to her to his ship, where he would restrain her, and persuade her to allow him to teach her the ways of the dark side. If she however was not accepting of his words, he would have to release her, for he knew she must join him willingly, or not at all. As he finished perfecting his plan, he saw the island in a distance.
It was finally time to retrieve what was rightfully his.
